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 your dolls hurt you?

Jan 21, 2009

    1. My Lati Yellow Lami was placed on a shelf above my bed. I was lying on my bed when something small fell on my forehead with a nasty "TWAK"...:horror: She rolled on my cushion with out any harm while I have a nasty bruise on my forehead. :doh Talk about being cute...:evil:
       
    2. I've gotten my fingers pinched/stuck more than a few times, and if I'm using an exacto knife for any reason with my dolls, I invariably end up stabbing myself.

      It wasn't myself, but I accidentally whacked my friend in the head really hard with my doll once. o__o; That was hilarious but awful at the same time.
       
    3. I got rope burn so bad while re-stringing (the elastic slid out of my hands) that I bled! Though, I supposed it was fair trade for having my doll naked and dismembered on the floor....he got his revenge.
       
    4. So far the most "vicious" of my dolls was the Luts Kid Delf Ani boy I owned back in 2009. My first restringing of him I got burned by the strings abit and he managed to draw blood. I didn't have spare strings so he had my blood on them - I guess he just wanted a part of me with him always? >_>;;

      So far my Kira (Volks Ayumu) hasn't hurt me at all. If I tried to take his head off without a tool for the s-hook I'd probably injure myself but that wouldn't be his fault so much as mine for being dumb lol. Most of my dolls have been pretty nice though. I think Ani was bad because he was my first doll that I took apart and put back together. I didn't know what I was doing very well the first time. :)
       
    5. Before I restrung my 65cm boy, he always headbutted me, pinched me, kicked me, and punched me. xD He doesn't do it anymore though.
      I got lots of blisters from restringing, though.
       
    6. A few weeks ago I was holding a Volks MSDs on my bed when she suddenly folded in half like a taco. On the way down she head butted me just right in the chest to knock the air out of me. It didn’t hurt at all but I was like “gah can’t breath!” for a few seconds.
       
    7. They did not hurt me ( yet) but they hurt my wallet :|
       
    8. My friend just got a 90cm in, and when I was at her house last night trying to stand him up, I caught the entire bit of webbing between my thumb and forefinger stuck in his knee joint. Luckily I managed to remove my flesh from his joint by myself. It still hurts a little bit though.

      Oddly enough, that's the first time I've ever been pinched by a doll...
       

    9. Ha ha ha same as me,hurt the wallet.T_T
       
    10. Smacked myself in the mouth with a pair of plyers trying to get a head on one of my boys, gums were bleeding swollen lip lots of fun and cursing.
       
    11. When I got my first DOC Cory I gave him a good restringing for the sake of it -- not really because it was going to improve anything. I just wanted to. Restringing him the first time proved to be such an ordeal that I was frustrated to the point of tears. I remember writing about it in my old blog later and being emotional and furious over the whole thing in the way only a 16 year-old can get. I was pretty uh, well, pissed off.

      After denting Cory's joints with a crochet hook I immediately got a little more clever and started using dental floss to thread between the doll string loops and joints because it's so high tensile it absolutely will not break no matter how hard you pull, and it's easy to put through the joints because the wax helps keep it in a straight line. It can hurt a bit, but it's so much easier than using the force of a thousand suns to string a doll with a pair of crochet hooks, which is way more accident prone anyways.
       
    12. Re-strung my Ai the day I got her, and her wrist S-Hook slipped through my fingers and sliced my thumb open X3 I'm sure that has happened to someone else.
       
    13. Yep, happened to me. Fun times, those silly s-hooks.
       
    14. I sanded my hand while modding ears once. Does that count? >.>; lol Otherwise, I suppose I've been lucky x_x;
       
    15. So far, I've been headbutted twice by my doll as well as been pinched by some of his joints and cut my finger and made it bleed on the elastic I strung him with-.-' Oh the wounds of love haha!
       
    16. I had been meaning to hotgluesuede Ryuichi's dancer's leg, but I forgot while I was helping a friend move.

      He reminded me he needed it done by pinching my leg when I sat him on my lap to drive somewhere! :doh

    17. Stephen, my BBB Apollo, headbutted me two or three times the first day I got him - but because BBB's are notorious for being very, very loose, the headbutt was more like a slow collapse, head-first, into my shoulder. Had he been strung any tighter, or had he went faster, it would've hurt.
       
    18. I've certainly had plenty of torso pinching from the FDoll body! I noticed that he only does it when I make fun of him or tell him to stay still :P
      Also, a puncture in my hand from that little bugger's s-hook, was restringing at 2 in the morning >.>
       
    19. Vivica is a kicker. Since I got her and took her out of the box, she's been a kicker. Of course, it's only because her elastic is too short(she came to me that way) and she needs very much to be restrung with new elastic. Other than that though, there really haven't been any attacks/attempts on my life from my dolls. ^^;
       
    20. When I was restringing Dulcie for the first time as an uneducated dimwit, I pulled her hand waaay far away from her body so that I could take it off, because I had no idea what I was doing (I do now, thank god), and the bamboo I was using to hold it decided to troll me and fall over, thus plunging the hand-hook on rebound deep into my cuticle. Being impaled by a thick, blunt metal object is an experience no one needs to have. I almost went to the hospital, but I'm a man (actually that is a lie) and therefore have an aversion to going.
