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.

    1. Not official ones, but I hope that if I do pass unexpectedly that my mom would send my dolls to my friend who'll take care of them.. My dolls are partners to hers so it only makes sense. :)

    2. Itachi is going with me to the grave! I even told my afther that! other then that Jainitina will probably get some (all my tiny's) and so will Teru (all my big boys and girls)! That way I know that they would be loved for the rest of their days!

    3. when I die, all my dolls will go to new homes, except for one which I will take with me XD
      actually my closest-most-best isn't on topic or particularly valuable, but I drag him everywhere.

    4. I'm 18 so it's not something I think of everyday :sweat

      However, if by the day I die my doll(s) is still with me I want them to be sold to help pay for my funeral. Those aren't cheap, you know ? :P Even if most of us love and care about our dolls deeply, once we die we can't keep worrying about them and believe me, no one will give your dolls the same love and care you gave them.

    5. I would leave my dolls to my friends or family who also appreciate them. In all honesty, I don't really care what is going to happen to my dolls once I pass away; if I even still have them by that time. Yes, they are pretty. Yes, they are valuable. Yes, I'm very attached to them and love them. But really once I die I won't be able to worry about them anymore, so I'll just leave them to the living and they'll be able to do whatever they want with them. It would be awesome if they went to new loving homes, but I won't be able to know anyways. Just my two cents on the subject.

    6. I'll leave them to my husband along with everything else I own. If we're both gone, I'd probably leave them to my sister. I don't know that she would be the best caretaker, but I do know that she'd appreciate them. What happens to my things after I die isn't something I've thought about much though tbh.

    7. I'm not sure. But my friends joke that they'll bury them with me. > u>

    8. Well I have a son, and seeing as my hubby hates my dolls I'm assuming he will too :)

      One of my nieces loves dolls they way I did/do - even if I have a daughter one day some of them will definitely go to her as I know she will keep them over selling them.

    9. this is an upsetting thought i often get actually its nice to see im not alone im constantly in turmoil on this. and my fiancée, also a doll owner hates to admit she doesnt know what she'd do either.

      i dont think i could decide until the day i day sadly. because i dunno what death really holds for me, you know?

      i always through i'd have them put in with me, then i wasn't sure if i can even be buried, so might be cremated and i dun want them burnt :( if i was to be buried id have maybe a select few with me, and be selfish? i see as really selfish i dunno D: i really dont! id want to leave them to somebody that cares but i'd be one pissed off ghosty if they didn't care for them and sell them or something. D:

      My nana passed away a few years back and all her closest members of family sold everything she loved ditched her in a nursing home and let her die. and got her money. :/ id hate for that to be me you know? :/ hate for them to be from me but also be put in to uncaring hands.

      gah i just dunno :(

    10. I guess after being dead I don´t worry for any items left past. Living family members are free to do whatever they wish for them, but it would feel nice to think my personal and loved things would become some sort of keepsake or memorize about me for them, not just being sold to get some money out. (I think I´m more concerned about my violins and books than my dolls in this way.) I think if I´d die now, my little sisters and nieces would be loving my dolls. In later future - nobody knows what happens then. I´m a person that gets attached by items emotionally very easily, but what is important for me really are the close people, not the things. If the money would be needed really, I would hate to think having a will telling that family needed to keep the things and never sell them, or something.

    12. i guess i would pass them on to someone i trust.. or maybe if i can.. bury them all with me.. staying together by my side.. still its abit sad.. but its hard to say when the time comes..

    13. I've been thinking about this for sometimes now, especially after my mom left her lovely doll to me before she passed away. No one in my family who loves/loved dolls like me and my mom. None of my friends shows any feeling towards dolls too. I guess when it happened, let my family decided by themselves....

    14. I'd probably pass it down to my sister. I hadn't had any intention of having children, so hers will be the closest I get to handing my Atiyaah down as a family heirloom (of which we had few - my grandparents arrived in Singapore with nary a whit to their name, and what few things they passed down were made of mainly poorly preserved wood and are already flaking in my kitchen :( )

    15. Ive been thinking about what would happen to my dolls when I have an accident for example...
      I guess I would give my dolls to people who I know will take good care of them. Some of my bjd-friends really like a certain doll so I guess I would give that doll to them.
      Maybe I would give one to my sister and a friend, who I know like my dolls but aren't prepared to pay much for them :)

      But I still hope I don't come to pass too early xD

    16. if i died anytime soon. i have a feeling that either my sister would take them for her two girls or my family would sell them. if i died later, i would either leave them to my children(if i have any) or sell them before i got old.

    17. Seeing as I'm only 14, I'm not really going to worry about it. But say I were to die, I'd like to either like to give Lachrimae to my close friend who is also into dolls, or to have my family hold onto him. I would actually probably lean more towards the family. I don't really know if I'd want anyone to play with him or such. My family hates dolls, but I think if they were just to put him in a glass display that they would be fine with keeping him around. If I have children at the time, it will be going to my kids. Once again, maybe not to play with but to respect and cherish as their mother's lovely possesion. And if I was say a 90 year old woman who passed away with my doll being about 70 or so years old, all worn out and such...he'd be buried with me. Seeing as I am getting other dolls, those might go to the family. I just would think that Lachrimae and I had been together the whole time in this hobby and at the old age, it's time to retire us both.

    18. I would ask my parent to sell them so they could get money and use as they want but my parent don't know anythings about BJD (except they are expensive doll LOL) so I might have to write handbook for them.
       
      #578 Tiphereth, Dec 18, 2010
    19. I am thinking that if I die, hopefully I would have kids by then and at least a daughter, but if not, i have a couple friends who would like them. I dont see the point in burying them with you because it is a material object, i know thats a bit bitter but it is true.
