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 long have you been a member of DoA?

Feb 1, 2024

    1. It'll be 10 years for me in June.
      I've known about BJDs for quite a bit longer. But I didn't join DoA until I was waiting for my first doll to come in, back in 2014. I've known about them since 2000-ish, I think. There was also a long hiatus where I was completely not active here. Life... well, life happens. At least dolls will still be here when we're ready to come back.

    2. It's been 14 years for me in January! I've known about dolls since around 2005, wanted and got back into the idea of actually owning one in 2009 and then got my first doll in 2011. It's been 13 years on February 15th since I got my first doll, but this year has really brought me back as I'm actively ordering doll items and buying a body for my 12 year old floating head!

    5. Been collecting BJD since Jan of 2007. So 17 years now. Have bought and sold over 500 BJDs. Keep my numbers always under 12. Most I think I have had was 15. I have bought from just about every company and artist at least once. I love the hobby as when my tastes change, the dolls can too. Best hobby I have had the luck to enjoy.

    7. You didn't used to have to be a member to look at or post on Den of Angels. So I lurked for months before officially joining in May 2005, the same time I received my first doll. So going on 20 years as a member.

      But I was looking at BJDs and wanting one since 2000.

    10. Hmmm.... I started lurking around and reading the site while I was considering ordering my first doll. So, somewhere in the fall of 2005. I actually joined and started posting while I was waiting for that first one to arrive, in January 2006.

    11. I joined the DenofAngels yahoo group in late 2002 (bought my first bjd in 2003) and
      migrated to this DoA platform in 2004 - so this fall it will be 20yrs plus the 2 on yahoo.

    14. It will be my 10 years anniversary this year. I joined here 2014. When I got into BJDs, first I was active mostly on my local BJD forum, because I was scared to use English. Now I am happy that decided to join here. :)
