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. I'm thinking the day that I unwrap my boy for the first time will be his birthday ^^ Hopefully that'll be soon so he'll be a winter boy XD
      I kind of like the idea of having each doll's birthday be arbitrary like that, so I'm probably going to leave it up to chance for now.
       
    2. The day I received her or the day she was complete ie.. head with body and correct face up.
       
    3. I consider my doll's birthday the day they arrive :)

      This isnt the character's birthday, that's a whole different day (my kids are spoiled...having two birthdays and all).

      Speaking of birthdays, it's Thomas' first birthday today (he arrived christmas eve '07); Time just flies! :D
       
    4. I've posted before, but now I have a floating head I'm thinking about how to assign her a birthday! For now I have the date her head arrived on, but if I chose the day she was completed i.e. the day her body arrived, she would share her birthday with an event head and I can't deal with too many dolls having the same birthday!

      I would rather her have a birthday as a completed doll, rather than a floating head, so I'm thinking I could give her my birthday instead. My birthday will be in the middle of the arrival date of her head and the payment date of her body, so that would be a nice compromise...and then the event head would have a birthday of her own when her body arrives (probably in 2010!)
       
    5. the day it arrives
       
    6. The doll's arrival~
       
    7. The day she comes home.
       
    8. for my doll I just chose my own birthday since I love, not only the obvious fact, but the sheer importance of it to me and surprisingly many other people. That and I felt she was simply just meant to be a Pisces.
       
    9. Kaedyn's is a little weird. He arrived sept 5th but his bday is Sept 7th - for 2 main reasons.

      1) I had to go on a trip (bad timing, ne?) so I didn't even get to bond with him/play with him much. I got home on the 7th and that's when I could enjoy my first dollie fully :3

      2) One of my good friend's bdays is on the 5th >.< It would be too...i dunno. :3
       
    10. I guess it depends on the doll here. XD;
      Yi's birthday is the date his head arrived here, Salti's is the date she arrived here.
      'Minime' Kyo's, will be the same day's as the real Kyo's regardless of when he is sculpted shipped or the arrival date.
       
    11. probly make it the day my doll is finished being made to match his character. Just waiting for the clothes... x]

      then my floating head will probly be when he gets a body.
       
    12. Well like everyone my dolls birthday is the day they arrive.
      :)
       
    13. I posted here before about my zodiac-chooses-birthday method. I tried the 'completed doll' way a few times but I see my dolls as ongoing works too often so it was too confusing. It's also pretty handy for deciding on doll character traits.

      If anyone is interested, the quiz I use is here.

      I tried a few different quizzes out using real people first and this was by far the most accurate. Kind of creepy for me as I don't really believe in all that stuff :lol: Honest, guv!
       
    14. the day the dolls arrives to home for me:P
       
    15. The day the box-opening occurs is the day of my doll's birthday n_n

      -M
       
    16. I choose based on the zodiacs i like the most :) My aru girl arrived in 23rd august (Leo), but i doesn't considerate this to be her true birthday since i....kinda dislike Leos o-o so i considerate she's Cancer or Piscis (and therefore her birthday is or in July or February...)

      @Katie_Raven: I used this quizzie and it seems it's really accurate :XD: i made it four times (for two dolls of mine) and the results matched in 3 of 4 attempts~
       
    17. The day I feel like the character is complete will be the day I'll consider as their birthday. For the first month of having my first doll he's been in pieces, and I'm still waiting on all the bits and pieces that'll make him HIM.
       
    18. I choose my doll's birthday from the month I ordered him in, then I picked my favorite number so his birthday became December 7th, even though I ordered him on December 3rd
       
    19. I dont usually give them birthdays as such - although I sometimes call it their birthdays - I usually refer to the date of their arrival to my house via the post man as their Arrival Anniversary!! So its basically for me the day that their box comes to my house :D (if i remember LOL)
       
    20. My Sapphira came with a birth certificate and the date was of when he was made, so I kept that. My Sooah's birthday is the day she arrived, which is weird because the characters have their own different birthdays.
