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 Feel About Your Collection Right Now?

Sep 12, 2018

    1. Knowing the dolls I have and the dolls I have on the way, coupled with the space I have for their accessories, I may be reaching my limit. Only problem is I have more doll plans. Three MSDs, possibly four; then three, possibly four SDs. Added onto that that I have three dolls I'm waiting on and two MDD heads that need bodies and clothes, and I think I've overextended my collection. I need to clear out my room, sell some heads and bodies and accessories, and then find a new way to display them all... 2024's doll plans are all about finding room for dolls. I probably need to stop buying until my preorders all get there and I can assess my collection, too.

    2. I want at least 3 more dolls, I feel like 5 would be a nice number. Problem is: I do plan to never ever sell any of the dolls I get, every dolls is definitive and I am broke right now, so I have to wait for the right timing.

    3. New post since it's been almost 3 years since my last one!

      I'm feeling very good and satisfied with my collection. I am rapidly closing in on completing my existing crew and should be able to finish my remaining projects in 2024, which is very exciting! It's a milestone I never thought I would be able to achieve, yet here it is! My wishlist has also been trimmed significantly, as I've been favoring a "dying to have"-style wishlist over a "nice to have"/"if circumstances align"-style wishlist, which makes it feel more manageable/realistic and cuts down on impulse FOMO buying. My current wishlist only has 3 dolls on it!

      I'm also very excited to spend less time on buying new dolls and more time learning new skills relating to the ones I already have, like sewing and photography. As I've had to budget pretty carefully in order to afford the hobby up to this point, I've had to prioritize things like bodies and faceups over a camera or fabric, so I'm very excited to free up my fun money for other things in the near future.

    4. Right now at this very moment I feel both settled and frustrated.
      I’m quite settled regarding what I have, sure there are a couple of dolls I would still like to get but on the whole I’m happy with my collection. Never really thought about it to be honest until I saw this question.

      The frustration part comes from my current inability to give some of that collection the attention their faceups as I’m currently battling a rather nasty asthma flare up that has led to a chest infection.
