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. For my doll his birthday would be the date of his arrival, or the day when he/she is complete:lol:
       
    2. its the day the doll gets here, or at least its head XD i dont really consider the body since some poeple have 2+ heads sharing a body...
       
    3. I don't have a doll yet but I fully intend to make his arrival date his birthday but the year will be set back. I am not sure if I want to make him as old as he looks or to go with the fantasy of an immortal that still remembers his birthday :)
       
    4. I'm planning on at least one birthday being 090909 for the sake of remembrance, otherwise I'll be going with date of arrival once I've finally ordered my girls.
       
    5. My doll's birthday is my fave musician's birthday~ :)
       
    6. Lately I've been picking dates that feel good, then check if the star sign matches the personality of the character :3
       
    7. The day of their arrival is their birthday. It feels better for the date to be random than for me to decide just so the zodiac can fit their personalities. ^^
       
    8. All of my dolls have a birthday set on the arrival date to my house. Except for Random, who refuses to have a birthday (he's adamant that he'll never grow up).
       
    9. hmm i would think that it would be the dolls arrival date to your house.
       
    10. I just pick the day they arrive ^^
       
    11. I just picked the day that he came in the mail :D Sept. 2nd for Liam :D almost three weeks old :D (though I say his age is really 13-14 somewhere... :D)
       
    12. I decided on the day he arrived in the mail. ^^
       
    13. My first doll is going to arrive in October, but I rather like the idea of giving her a summer birthday close to my own, in June. While it's only fitting to have her birthday on the arrival date I think I might change it on my own accord.
       
    14. :)I don't have any BJD's yet but I anm a lifelike Reborn Baby doll artist and I decide the birthdate by when they are completed. So I guess I would do the same for a BJD. Unless it is already complete then I would go by the day it arrives.
       
    15. I suppose the arrival date. The one doll I do have I bought in person, so that's her birthday to me.
      I guess if I knew manufacturing date, I'd go with that.
       
    16. My doll's birthday goes by his "storyline" birthday. (Although, he doesn't have a storyline. Just a personality.) His order date, which is very close to his storyline birthday, could also be considered as his real birthday, but alas...

      My future dolls will have that same sort of "storyline" birthday, too. If their order dates or arrival dates at least closely correspond with their birthdays, then I'll just use those instead.
       
    17. hm...i get all my dolls new so im not sure if it would be when the head gets here or when the body also comes, but i would say when the doll arrives.
       
    18. It's simple - my dolls have their birthdays on their arrival days. ^^
       
    19. I have yet to get mine. It may be the date I get her, or I might make one up that I'll remember easily, though I don't actually celebrate birthdays, it'd be nice for her to 'age' and also to know how long I've had her/them.
       
    20. I use their arrival dates or pick a date I'll remember more easily in their arrival month.
