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.

How do you carry your dolls around a convention?

Apr 16, 2019

    1. I've yet to bring a BJD to a con but just recently I saw someone carrying a roughly SD sized doll on their shoulder, they might have had some kind of hidden harness but it was really cool to be honest.
       
    2. I usually put them in a big bag and take them out.
       
    3. A backpack or a messenger bag is how I carried around my SD at a con! Though I was also afraid to keep her in there too long so I would just end up carrying her like a baby.

    4. I tried a number of things for transport since my doll is HUGE and I like taking him places. Right now, I use a yoga bag after wrapping my doll in those big air bubble wrapping things from packages. It's worked perfectly so far!
       
    5. I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this yet! “Astronaut” bags for carrying pets are very popular on Japanese Dollfie Dream Twitter for carrying your dolls around. They’re very cute, convenient, and secure! I’m hoping to get one soon.

    6. I use a tote bag with light colours so they don’t stain may dolls.
       
    7. Very carefully.

      ... Seriously, though, my last adventure with mine was fairly basic as he was just perched on my forearm like an especially fashionable little bird, with one of his arms folded over his lap in an effort to keep his magnetic tail in check. Otherwise he was seated in his little padded carrying bag, which was inside a tote that I'd looped over my shoulder. He's only MSD sized though so I feel like I'm cheating a fair bit, haha. I remember seeing several people using cheap little folding strollers/prams for larger SDs and thought that was brilliant. Might have to look into the astronaut bag idea for meetups, hmm...~
       
    8. I have a violin case shaped carrier. It's quite hard and very sturdy so I don't really mind keeping one of my SD in it while travelling using the subway. If anything I'd prolly hurt more than my doll would. I do carry my doll in my arms once I've reached the con. I usually carry my yo-sd in my itabag tho. I have 2 itabag just for my tiny.
       
    9. I bought a tripod cover a while ago, I modified it so that it is more bulky and my bjd is not damaged.
       
    10. Most of mine are on the smallish size, so in my hands. But, only at doll conventions. They stay at home for anything else.
