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. Either the day the doll arrives or the day it's completed (eyes and all that).
       
    2. I use the days they arrive ^_^
       
    3. The day they arrived or in Nanashi's case, the day he got his body. ^^
      I didn't think ahead of time what my character's birthday's were. xD
       
    4. I just made their birthday whatever day They arrived to me on. Makes it easier that way since you never really know when the company started on the doll or when it was completed.
       
    5. I love to make them the day that they arrive at my doorstep <3 It's just more significant than just saying a random day, it's the day that you got them and started loving them <3
       
    6. the day I opened the box! :D
       
    7. I also base it on the day I opened the box :)
       
    8. Uh, for me, if he is a blanket doll which I ordered from the website, his birthday would be the time after I finish his first make up.
      If the doll has a face up when he comes, the birthday would be the day he arrives my home.
       
    9. the day of his arrival XD. I got lucky with my little boy. He arrived last June 1 and June is the wedding month. The first dress we made for him is a pink wedding dress X3
       
    10. I think I'll decide my dolls birthday when his box gets here 8D
      it seems logical, and I'm getting his body all together.
      I'm getting his wig and clothes from somewhere else bit I'll decide it on when I get his body.
       
    11. I decided to have my Elise's birthday be the day I made the commitment and bought her. May 19. :)
       
    12. Crafty! That's also such a great idea 8D!
      I never even thought of that!
       
    13. For me, it's been the day they arrived. I'm the sort who keeps things on hand to "complete" them during their first day, so it always seems like the day they arrive is the best for me.
       
    14. With my girl, it was the day she arrived (28th May). Although that means she's ended up with a star sign that's nothing like her personality.
       
    15. I totally agree with you. I don't think it can be "born" until you are absolutely happy with it
       
    16. Yes to both of these. ^^
      I want my dolls to represent each star sign/zodiac...
      So each one has a unique personality. None is the same.
       
    17. My dolls' birthdays are the day they arrived to me :D
       
    18. Date of arrival, but I haven't had a scenario of doll parts floating around yet. Maybe then it would be the date of assembly.
       
    19. Well my first shipped on the 17th. So I've been thinking of trying to set it on the day she was actually made. Though, I don't know exactly when that was I figured 2 days before shipping is a good guess (maybe when her factory face-up was done) which lands right in the middle of the month (15th). So that seems like an easy date to remember.

      Failing that to stick I'll just go with the box opening day.
       
    20. I never honestly put much thought into birthdays, but I would have to say its a tie for me with Gloria...

      On one hand I want it to be here delivery date because she is my 1st doll so it was special for me, but at the same time I want it to be my grandmother's birthday or when she died because i loved her so much. Sooo idk lol.
