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 only have one totally complete doll, and his birthday is the day I named him and got his faceup perfect. It couldn't be the day he arrived, because he was my sister's doll first, and he is on his third character. 0_0 poor confused boy....
       
    2. My boy's birthday is on the day he arrived at my house, though I almost wish he came a day later so he could share my mom's birthday. XD
       
    3. I am going to have it the day she arrives, or a month after. the month after would be to get her a present, lol. i am a wierdo like that.
       
    4. I think a doll's officially born when it gets out of a box or... when the body's totally complete... :)
       
    5. I have to agree with spoofynymph.
      I decided on my boys birthday when he arrived. but it might change when I officially complete him..-o-
       
    6. i would use the day it arrived! because that just makes sense! = D
       
    7. FlyingPandaGirl: It does. b(^^)d :}
       
    8. My dolls was birthday was based on the Zodiac sign I wanted for him. Which for his sun sign is easy enough, but I wanted a specific moon sign too, so I only had a few days to choose from when I narrowed down the year. It was actually a pretty extensive process -_-'
       
    9. Luckily enough Jedah came with an adorable little card from lumedoll that stated his birthday. Which is actually coming up in 4 days.
      ^_^ As for my El's i need to give them a birthday! Which will probably be the day of their box opening
       
    10. For me it's when the doll gets out of the box.
       
    11. Date of arrival!
       
    12. My 5-year-old niece recently chose a birthday for one of my dolls. She's 5, of course the first things she wants to know are when is the dolly's birthday, does he have a mommy, why does he have a Band-Aid on his knee, what's his favorite TV show and does he like Dora the Explorer. Since she'd just had her own birthday, birthdays were fresh in her mind. Since her birthday is June 15, she decided that Rainey's birthday was June 16. Fair enough. The creative spirit works in baby steps at first!

      (I had already chosen a random July birthday for this particular doll; but Sofia's method of choosing was every bit as valid as mine, so what the heck.)
       
    13. Remiel is based on a character from a series of writings I do and so he came already set up with a birthday. But if I were to get a doll who was not going to be based of a character I think the best way would be the day of the box opening!
       
    14. when the doll has both its head & body :3
      but i dont know what to do about a doll that changed mold (or sold and rebought cuz i missed it too much xD )
       
    15. For the doll I am paying for...I may use the day he arrives.
      :D
       
    16. With me it depends on the doll, my msd girl has a set character so her's is the date from her story.
      For my tiny girl and when he gets here my yo-sd boy I'm going by the date on their certificates, only because neither of them have set birthdays and that way the date is written down so it's easy to remember... I'm so lazy...
       
    17. The day she arrived. July 3rd!
       
    18. I got a certificate with my doll that has her birthday on it.
       
    19. Even though Al came with a birth certificate, the only thing on it was his name. I've been using his arrival date as his birthday for awhile now ^^
       
    20. 6u6 I'm actually going to go with for when Tsuki arrives. Especially since that day it'll be pretty special, since my friends are going to throw a little party for her arrival. x3 I wuv them~.
