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. On the month that they arrived.
       
    2. I chose it for January 8th because that's when I finally got off my butt and actually tried to attach the s-hook to the neckpiece instead of being lazy and using items to temporarily hold it.
       
    3. There birthday is the day that they get home. It's officially their 'birth' to my eyes, coming out of the box and having me be the first one to see them completed. :D
       
    4. I'm big on the zodiac so i try to match up the personality i've given my character to the general consensus of the type of personality/attitude/etc. of a specific zodiac sign. Then i just pick one of the days in the months that it falls under.
       
    5. i normaly go with the day they Arrive
      but with my MD Ryu who is only a blank head right now id have to say his B-day will be the dayhes complete
       
    6. Arrival day for me, or if it's important for my character to have another dates (because of an event in his life or a specific zodiac...), I chose the date by myself :)

      I can note this second fact is not happen for the moment at my 'home' !
       
    7. I will have my dolls birthdays the day they arrives at my home, if there's no other special reason for them not to have them on that particular day.
       
    8. I haven't gotten my first doll yet, but I'm planning on making her arrival day her birthday. Maybe I'll change it to a specific day once I get to know her.
       
    9. For my first doll I choose for birthday the day she came to my house and I saw she, but she went already face- upped.
      For my coming secon one, that I buied without face-up, maybe it'll be the day she'll retourn from artist house.
       
    10. My dolls' birthdays are the date they arrive to me. My Liz arrived in two parts, so her birthday is the date I got her body and she was completed. :)
       
    11. My doll's birthday is decided either by the day a full doll arrives or the day a floating head gets his body.
       
    12. AA. I could only remember my first doll's birthday. :doh
       
    13. I think I'd choose a season and stick to a date in that particular season :P
      Either that or just a random number I like...
       
    14. I wanted like everyone, thats could be the day she arrive but I cant remember so im just gonna choose around the date I think ^^
       
    15. I decide their birthday by the day they arrived home and we met each other^^
       
    16. For one of my boys, it is the date on his birth certificate and the other one i chose the day which he arrived
       
    17. their birthdays are all on the days they arrived. i think it's the normal way to decide them.
       
    18. I've only gotten one doll, but with him, it was definitely the day of arrival--it was just so perfect! 08/08/08--a very lucky boy, indeed. :3

      (Otherwise I was considering giving him my birthday, which is also in August, because then we could be twinsies and it was closer to when I thought he'd be arriving, anyway. XD;; )
       
    19. If any of my dolls have birthdays, that's because they'd go with the original characters that they embody. However, not all of my dolls are base of of existing characters of mine, so they don't really have birthdays. All in all, I don't really thing about them having birthdays, unless I count the day that I received them.
       
    20. I guess I just go with the arrival date 'cause to me, it's like that's when they really come to life and I get to meet them! ^-^

      (but if I ordered a doll in pieces or as just a head, it would have to be when the whole ensemble came together I suppose...)
