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. I agree with devu. The day i open his box is the day he shall be born.

    2. My first doll isn't here yet, but her birthday will be when she arrives because like others said, it's like when she's born.

      Well, it helps that I ordered her with faceup too ^^

    3. Well, I always try to go by arrival date but...

      Recently, I got 3 characters (one doll and two heads) on the same day! :o And it wouldn't work for their characters to all have the same birthday, so in their case, I'll call the day their body arrives their birthday~

      And then, my first doll, Marlowe... Truth be told, I don't actually remember the exact day he arrived. :doh So for him, I picked a day that I know is pretty close to when he actually came and decided on that for his birthday. (The astrological sign fits his character, too! :) )

      So I guess really, only Hemlock's birthday is his arrival day. ;)

    4. I use the birthday I gave them in their profiles,or their arrival date

    5. I base it on their arrival date. I got lucky, with one of mine- my boy arrived on Halloween! :D My girl also just had her first b-day with me yesterday!

    6. If I gave them, I'd use arrival dates. Or just a date I liked, I guess.

    7. Most of my dolls are pre-existing characters so already have birth dates assigned to them. The only non-character doll I've given a birthday to is the one that arrived on Valentine's day because it was too amusing not to ;)

    8. I agree, I'm going with the date of arrival.

    9. I seem to be in a minority here; both my dolls have some form of preset birthdays. Only one of the two I'm not sure about, although a suggestion was put forth in his RP backstory that I think I'll use - after all, why overthink the matter? :)

    10. Usually the day the doll arrives [or at least thats how I think it will work out..] unless the character of the doll has a set birth-date then that will be it.

    11. For me, it's a mix. Sometimes I'll decide the character's birthday before hand, but other times my doll's birthday will be related to it's arrival/order date.

      For example, my CP Yder was shipping on July 16th and arrived the 18th, but the 16th is his birthday. On the other hand, my MSD f-10 was a birthday present to myself and was purchased in plans of him arriving around then (May 24th) but didn't arrive until June. Because I liked the idea of a shared birthday, I made his birthday May 24th. ^^

    12. My boy arrived home and was opened up by my mum to have a check and make sure he was okay early January (5th?), I got home from the Netherlands and opened his box slightly-later-but-still-early January (7th?), and he came with a little laminated card with a photo of him and the date June 16th 2007 printed on it, which I can only assume is when he was cast. So... um... I guess he's got 3? :D I'll probably stick with the June one, since Dollzone went to so much trouble to give me that date. :)

    13. The only doll I ever bothered to remember what day he came was my first doll, SIX, as it was on 06-06-06 :'D

      I don't give them birthdays though : x

    14. i guess the day aderyn got here is her b-day. (march 20th) though it doesn't matter that much to me since she's a fantasy charater. she is so not an aries the way i play her. though i do like the fact she got here was the frist day of spring :)

    15. My dolls are based on characters I've created for stories and such... Orian is my only doll at the moment. His birthday is February 19th. Funnily enough though, his body arrived around that time, and I finished his first faceup on the 19th... fate, no?

    16. I haven't gotten a doll yet, but I think I will use date of arrival as a birthday. The characters I'm basing them on don't have set birthdays or live in universes with different calendars.
       
      #216 zekarmisama, Mar 23, 2008
    17. the arrival date is the b-day for my dolls.

    18. My doll's birthday will probably his arrival date.
      It just seems easier that way... =P
       
      #218 hrtsforluv, Mar 23, 2008
    19. Usually it depends on if I already have a birthday for their character or I'll just go with their arrival date! ^^
       
      #219 Kitsuna Ri, Mar 23, 2008
    20. I would leave mine on their arrival date, you know, the exact time and hour you hold your doll for the first time.

      Similar to what they do at childbirth >.>;; XD

      Edit::

      Kori's is December 1st...my lil sagittarius ^^
