1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Have you made provisions for your dolls if you die?

    1. I dunno. If I knew anyone really well that would want Tris they could have him (like Guide or Anji), otherwise (from the geeky Anthro person) I'd like to be buried with Tris, both disembodied heads, and my stuffed Kumagorou. I'd love to think in 1000 years some other archaeolgist digging me up and putting them on display as "funirary goods" from the 21st century. :) Maybe put a little plastic plate with information on all of us to help the nice, future archaeolgist.

    2. Can you actually have dolls buried with you? I though there were certain rules about what you can and can't have? It's quite a morbid thought so no I haven't made any preparations at all. I guess I would leave everything including the care of my cat to my partner.

    3. Me too~

      I asked my mum the other day that if I died before I ordered him, as a last wish, would she get him for me anyway... and bury him with me. She didn't even flinch at the idea. Probably because it's unlikely I'll die that soon.
      My mummy loves me like that :|

      But aside from that...if I died, I'd request they keep him.

    5. *looks sheepish* everyone decided I was acting _more_ normal when I started carrying Tristan around. I spent two years carring/sewing for/getting clothes for a Kumagorou... :sweat

      I sleep holding Kuma-chan, with Tristan sitting on the arm of the couch I sleep on....and I'm 28...

    6. I would prefer to have my dolls sold to raise money for the family. I believe once I go, my boys will go with me in spirit. They are a part of me, so if I'm gone, they will be too in a sense.

      Alternatively, I would like to have the heads removed and buried with me, then have the bodies auctioned off.

      Another idea, and this is more extreme and I don't think this is for every owner:

      If I am cremated, I would like to have my dolls smashed to a powder, and have that power be mixed in my urn with my ashes. This way they are always with me.

      Or else, if I have kids or a successor of any kind, my dolls will go to that person.

    7. Let's see...They will either be passed down throu my family ((if I have one)) and must be loved and played with and what not and if they break they will be buried next to me!! Whaha! >.>

    8. Lily will go to whoever wants her, I'm not going to destroy a doll that will give someone happiness! Trust me, when someone dies, the first thing the think about is, "Hurry, someone crush the doll into pieces so when we cremate her, we can stick the toxic resin powder in the urn!"

    9. Ill probably not be into dolls by the time I die so will have sold them along time ago... :P
       
      #189 honestrabbit, Aug 23, 2006
    10. I'll split them up accordingly amongst my friends. My family wouldn't get them.

    11. You guys got me thinking about all this sad stuff now. I decided that When I die, Jonah dies (He can't live without me and vice versa. WOE IS US.) so we'll be buried together.

      That is a slightly creepy thought. *twitch*
       
      #191 Saava, Aug 23, 2006
    12. Probably buried with me, if i have more then one at that time the rest would go to my children if i have any as well.

    13. mikan: Kaito-kun, someone's asking have i made any provisions for you if i die?

      Kaito: That's a morbid thought! STOP THINKING OF THESE SAD THINGS!!!

      mikan: But people aren't dolls - they die. Human beings are so... fragile. It's just a matter of time.

      Kaito: Then i want to be buried with you :)

      mikan: Don't be silly~ I'll leave you with someone trustworthy... someone who will take good care of you... someone who will love you like he loves me...

      Kaito: *sob sob* How i wish you were a homunculus as well. :...(

      mikan: I can't believe you're still so fixated on that idea!!! :doh

    14. I'd probably give him to my family to remember me by...He's no use to me in the ground XD

    15. My Mother keeps saying that my dolls will be passed down to my adopted children in the future - but I've always said no, I'm having them buried with me. XD

      But by 'them' I actually only mean one doll, and that's Artemis my Hara - my four dolls haven't even arrived yet, but I know that he is going to be my special one and only.

      I'd like to pass down my dolls onto my kids, but I'm not sure about Artemis. I mean, if my partner outlives me, I'd want Artemis to go to them - but I may arrange for a young and dedicated doll owner to adopt him.

      However - if I become as attached to him as I think I shall, I may want to have him with me until the end and forever onwards. Thinking about this, I think his eyes would have to be removed, the one thing to me that really sparks life in dolls, so he would be alive but forever asleep - if that makes any sense.

      It all depends - I don't plan on dying any time soon. ;3

    16. All of my dolls have people that they are willed to. My best friend, Larry, however, would not get one, only because i know he thinks they are "cool", but he wouldn't love them the way i do. All of the people who i have willed dolls to, are people who would love them, and would not change them. They would leave them as they are, with their names, and personalities in tact. They would treat them as "adopted children" that had lost their father, and would incorporate them into their own families, as orphans. :)

      i could never bury my dolls with me, because to me, in my belief, that would be like picking a living person, and saying, hey, when i die, you are being buried with me. LOL That really isn't fair. I'm dead, but they shouldn't have to stop having life because of me ;) I would want them to go on with a happy existence in someone else's home ;) Hopefully, the person who take the doll/dolls, would not WANT to change them, because that doll is the last thing they'd really have of me. By changing it, they change the way I always kept him.

    17. haha, yes I have actually..

      -Jenova... as much as I would like to take the smug bastard with me, he will go to Aki... as long as Aki is in the hands of Syrinxfox, that's where he goes -heh [and Aki has to either be with her or me, I don't even own him but I demand this. PUT IT IN YOUR WILL >D]
      -Fuan and Fanuel go with Tien Jen and Kessari :3nodding: friendships have changed, as have the character relationships apparently, but my thoughts haven't much - the Twins will stay together and most likely end up going where Jenova goes or they stay with my daughter.
      -Hesue goes with Io - so she who owns Io, also owns Hesue :whee:
      -Jun and Megumi go to my Hubby and if he's gone, my daughter <-- and she knows the stipulation on that is they have to remain in the family forever

      the others.. see above comments ^^ mmm... morbidy goodness

      ETA: even though this was posted years ago, my thoughts haven't changed much.

      Only now I have an entire Ish'talla crew to add in - all of which would be going to Syrinxfox, and Jun and Lan would end up with Evphaedrielle. Saiyuri stays with Megumi, Samara goes with Syrinxfox so long as she still has Sen, otherwise she'd be staying with Hubby or daughter. My dolls and the characters attached to them are very important to me so even after I kick the bucket, I'd like to know that they are going where I wish them to go. They are an extension of me after all -lol

    18. [chuckles] I suspect Selene will end up with a house full. :D
      Jun and Megumi, Fuan and Fanuel... and Jen and Kess. ^_^

      BSR and I don't have kids, and won't... so all of my crew are going to different people. Some to my god-daughter, some to friends, Amber to my sister-in-law... Others to neices or nephews, if I ever have any that are interested in them...

      The two inviolate rules are that Jen and Kess stay with Fuan and Fanuel, though, and that Harumatsu stays with me. When they put my little urn of ashes into that cubby hole in the wall at the cemetery, my cuddlebug's going in there too. If he doesn't, I'm going to do some serious haunting.
       
      #198 Brightfires, Oct 12, 2006
    19. gaha, yeah she will ^_^
      hai hai, I can understand all that, you have a large crew O_O
      but it's the same with mine, no matter where else the others go, the ones listed in my post are very specific.. if they don't go where they should, Nezu comes back and seriously haunts everyone's bee-hinds I tell you wut D<
       
      #199 Nezumitoo, Oct 12, 2006
    20. I would most likely want my dolls to be burried with me, no matter how many amount of dolls I'd get in the future lol They all come with me, I wouldn't want them to hang around as my family would probably throw it out or give it to charity... Or might end up somewhere in the garbage dump lol. I'd like for them to live on, but I'll probably be so attached to them that hopefully they will be put to rest along side me.
