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 which doll to buy next?

Apr 12, 2017

    1. I'll see a face I love and make sure I love the body too. I then become a bit fixated on the doll and eventually decide to buy.

    2. I’m pretty set on just LUTS and Iplehouse as my favorite brands, so whenever I see a sculpt from them that fits one of my OCs I make a plan to get that doll, especially if they release similar clothing to my OC’s wardrobe!
       
    3. I actually try not to get new dolls. So when I decide to get one, it’s usually because its completely irresistible. Normally, it starts with... “I wish there was a doll like this” and a year or two later, “I can’t believe they actually made it!!”
       
    4. All my damn attention is set on Volks children right now. I've got a list and I need them. Sometimes I'll scroll through instagram or Dolk and... I see somebody I really want. At that point it turns into, now I have to haggle with myself. Those meetings can take a long time to adjourn, and whether I am a happy or unhappy camper at the end of it.
