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?

May 15, 2005

    1. I would have Basil burried with me. and anyothers i may happe to get would go to my two sisters!
       
    2. I made a joke yesterday to my best friend....that when I die she can have her favorite doll of mine and to make sure the rest are buried with me. xD
      But, I'm pretty sure after she gets her pick, if i do have many...and have kids...they will go to them if they enjoy them...but, if not I'd prefer them to go to someone who does, because the thought of them being pawned or even sold to someone who cant appreciate the time and character put into them... T_T
       
    3. I've never actually thought this. But. I guess my dolls would definitely go to a person (or several people) who really know something about dolls and would appreciate them. Well, if my boyfriend was still alive then I would definitely give Oodi to him because he has said that she is cute and I guess he likes her very much. Other dolls I would propably testament to one friend of mine who has many dolls already. I would be sure that she would take good care of them.
       
    4. Hehe my wee daughter, Wren who is 5, regularly says, when you die and I will be sad and miss the cuddles but will I have all your dollies and sparkly ring? Or when I get bigger will I? Lol! It looks like my dolls and jewelry are in safe hands!
       
    5. XD My dolls will all go to Almasy up there. She's the only person I know -personally- that would love them as much as I did. ;-;
       
    6. I actually have thought about it. Its a bit weird but there is someone I watch on Deviant art who has some dolls. They don't know me but I just Imagine them getting a package with my dolls in it and no return address.... It would just make an impact on them And I would like it.... An unanswered question and a beautiful gift... I think it's poetic..
       
    7. Esky ! <3 x3
      Whoo, that's a really awesome idea. :<
       
    8. I'm fairly young, and I only have one doll that is still on the way. I have plans for other dolls, though. I know, however, that I would want my dolls to go to my best friend, Sydney. I just don't have it written down. I'm young enough that I haven't bothered to write out a will. I probably should, not because I care a huge amount about what happens to my stuff, but because I know what I would want my funeral to by like. I absolutely would want my doll(s) present at my funeral, preferrably in proper mourning garb.
       
    9. Yep, mine will go to my sister, who will hold onto them until my niece reaches an "appropriate" age (my sister's determination, not mine) and then they will be given to her.
       
    10. I would hope that my partner would either keep them until our children are old enough to decide what to do with them, or he sells them straight away and the money is placed in their savings accounts which are locked until they're 18 anyway. I'd see no purpose in them being kept just for the sake of it, or buried with me- I'd rather the money enjoyed by my children and put towards their university fees or something special for them.
       
    11. Honestly? I haven't put much thought into it. But I would want to make sure those I have will be passed along to be kept and cherished and loved dearly. I don't have any close friends who are really into dolls, though, so I suppose I wouldn't have a problem with my parents selling them to pay for funeral expenses-- except for maybe one. I might want to take one with me, but that remains to be seen.
       
    12. I would want my dolls to go to my mom :) I know she would cherish them :)
       
    13. Whats the difference between a $500 wedding ring passed down to another after....passing....and passing on a $500 doll? Porcelain dolls are given respect...why shouldnt bjds?? Dolls are willed to the surviving loved ones along with things like irriplacable toy trains and priceless photos! If i die (i highly doubt i will get that lucky) i would will it to a survivor who understands the appeal and the high demands of upkeep for my boys.
       
    14. Waaah, can't you just stick them in the coffin with me? XD I'm kidding. I know Merlot would probably go to my friend, a fellow collector who would actually have an idea of what to do with him. My floating heads would go to my other doll friend across the country. And Treu, I would LOVE to have it arranged so he'd be mailed to the singer Kerli. Because he was modeled after her 'bubblegoth' style and I read in an interview that she would love to own one someday. I just adore her, I think she'd adore Treu

      Now this isn't written up anywhere xD I don't plan on dying anytime soon (But eh, never know how the world works) and, who knows, maybe by the time I'm older I'll have passed my dolls onto my kids or sold them. Never know
       
    15. Buhh what a depressing thread. ; o ;

      I'd like to see my dolls go to Eldurwen, as I know she would care for them and keep them "alive" after I'd be gone.
      She knows them better than anyone else. ^^<3
       
    16. I do keep a binder with a photo of each doll I own (the ones worth, or what I paid a good amount of $ for anyways) for my husband and/or my children with how much money I paid for that doll and important info. to make it easier for them to be sold in the event of my demise. My children already think they're going to be RICH if I die! lol Not sure how exactly I feel about that!
       
    17. I wonder if any of the posts in this thread would actually stand up in court if a DOA'er actually died, without a legal will.


      They are dated and any edits are dated also, like this posts.

      ...
       
    18. I'm 75yo, so it will not be too long before "my girls", bjds will be out of a home. My daughter is into bjds so I told her she could have them. I told her not to forget to look under the bed and in the closets. They seem to be all over the house!!! puglynne
       
    19. Yes ^^ I intend on having my dolls burried with me as crazy as that sounds
       
    20. @puglynne Don't say that! You have at least 20 good years yet! My friend Will is 96!

      My daughters will pick out the ones they want and the rest will go to auction. No way my family could take care of my doll collection. My youngest is liable to keep them all though, she really loves them.
      I would like my Soom Corvi to go to a friend of mine who has Saiph..they could keep each other company.
