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 decide on a doll´s birthday?

May 23, 2006

    1. My original character dolls usually have their birthdates falling on when they arrived to me. My fan-character dolls have birthdates that the borthdates of the characters they're based off.. =D
       
    2. Mine's always been arrival date until Malakai came along. His birthday is Valentine's day, his arrival date is like 3 days before that :XD:
       
    3. I have 2 doll, one girl one boy. I changed my girl's birthday, so it is not the date she arrived. But my boy is the day he arrived, 2/14:)
      But mostly people use the date dolls arrive as their birthday....
       
    4. My Hitsugi's birthday is the date when his body arrived and I got him completed. Dangan arrived me somewhere middle of May, but I opened him at start of June as he was my birthday present. So the box-opening day is his birthday.
      Zaelaporo has his birthday same as arrival day. Cain does not have one since he is based on certain character and his day has never been stated.
      I am still thinking that what I decide for the upcoming Reminisce K, since he will be floating head for some while... Probably either the body-arrival date or I decide one of my own. I know that I would like it to be at later half of the year since now my boys have all their birthdays within March-June period.
       
    5. I'm using the arrival date as the birthday. Because I got my doll's head first, I'm using that arrival date. The zodiac sign actually fits his personality, so it works.
       
    6. For me, I decide the date of my doll's birthday when they're complete, with the right faceup, eyes, wig, outfit etc, and the date of the arrival is the day when they moved in.
       
    7. Same here:lol:
       
    8. For me, it's the arrival date of the doll unless the doll is based on an existing character of mine who already has a birth date chosen. :3
       
    9. I choose the day when it comes home.
      Separate head and body? Hmm, I haven't met that situation yet.
       
    10. Most of my dolls I have used thier arrival date as thier birthday. XD
      My Mir (who'll be coming home soon) has the same birthday as me though.
      I wanted to share something like that with atleast one of my dolls and since her DOD profile says that she has the same birthday as me, I figured It'd be good with her. ^_^
       
    11. I'm still waiting for Hansel but his birthday is definitely going to be on his arrival day.
       
    12. I choose my doll's birthday on the day that they arrive home. but, I prefer not to give a birthday for bodies, unlike for complete dolls and floating heads.
       
    13. When I/if I ever get my first doll, I'd probably plant their birthday on the day they first arrived. I think it seems the most logical, unless they'd share a birthday with moi. xD
       
    14. i choose their zodiac first and then a special day during that period :3
      can't use the arrival/finishing day
      coz some of my dolls are twins who are not bought together
       
    15. I usually go for what zodiac sign suits the character of the doll and then more or less randomly pick a day within that period. ^_^
       
    16. date of arrival.
       
    17. Date of arrival. Just like a little baby, the birthday is the day of the birth ;P
       
    18. Since I bought Ashe in person, I consider the day I bought her to be her birthday~
       
    19. Mostly my dolls have their birthdays on their arrival/completion date, unless they are based on characters who have specific birthdays.
       
    20. My boy's birthday is the day that his head is attach with his body
