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. The day I got it (it arrived).
       
    2. Like many others, I use the arrival date! :D
       
    3. The day that I get to take the box from the UPS man, run into my living room, sit in the middle of the floor, and just rock back and forth with just the box, not the doll yet, smiling like a mad man...

      So the day of arrival.

      My first doll should be here by tomorrow and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Then write the date down some where so I don't forget. Though, I doubt I would forget in the first place.
       
    4. The arrival date for me. Though, I've forgotten my first dolls date, so I'll probably choose a day for him. ^^;
       
    5. I don't really have birth dates for them. Hikaru is based on my character so I suppose then she shares the characters birthday. I just got her so I suppose I'll see when her arrival date comes next year if it's her dolly birthday or not.
       
    6. If it's a doll based on a character of mine that already has a set birthday, then that's the doll's birthday as well.
      If it's not a character-based doll, then I just use their arrival date as their birthday, but sometimes it changes if they develop stories. ^^
       
    7. I've chosen to use the arrival date, although I've never really thought about it too much. ^^
       
    8. My dolls' birthdays are the date of their arrivals. Unless they are already OCs, then they already have their own birthdays.
       
    9. Most people use the arrival date, but for my first doll I chose my favorite holiday...Halloween.
       
    10. mostly the arrival date, unless the character already had another birthday date.
       
    11. I took my doll's arrival date under the lunar calendar so ^-^ she her birthday is right on New Year's in those terms.
       
    12. Like many others, I choose the doll's arrival
       
    13. I suppose the doll's arrival, but I think this is the first time I think about it O_o.
       
    14. Nika has two different birthdays for one reason. The character he is in my drawings and writings is the base for, but not the same as, the doll he became. So the day he got here is the birthday for the doll, but in my stories his b-day changes to the one he's always had. ^_^
       
    15. Usually I go for the date of a character's creation, but in Kaz's case that was Christmas, and it just didn't feel right. So I deliberately avoided giving her a birthday and hoped it wouldn't ever matter.

      Then, just this past weekend, I was watching a movie with my husband and there was a scene with a car tearing out of a parking space. Its license plate read "816KAZ".

      So now Kaz's birthday is August 16. ^.^
       
    16. I haven't gotten my girls yet but since I'm ordering from DZ and get a free Baby I'm making the baby's birthday christmas since she's a "christmas baby" and the MSD I ordered her birthday will be the day she arrives.
       
    17. .....................................................
       
    18. you're getting the Chirstmas baby??? :...(:...(:...( i wanted to order from DZ soo badly so i could get one. *sniffles* oh well...

      anyway...

      Phoebe's birthday is November 8, 2009. or better put the date i got her out of the mail ^_^
       
    19. Vain's birthday is July 8, the day he arrived ^^ And the characteristics that corresponds with the cancer sigh is actually very fitting for his character! :D I was mighty surprised!
      Sung-min is only a floating head, so I'm not too sure what to do about him yet..:sweat
       
    20. yup I'm getting Baby B and her name is Emi:D. She'll still be in China for her birthday this year poor girl.
