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 was it between getting your first and second doll?

Apr 17, 2007

    1. Hehe... I don't even have the first doll I bought yet.

      I ordered an Impldoll Colorful Life Dorisy from DDE and she's on layaway. Then a few days later, I was browsing MoC and they had a Doll Love Alice IN STOCK! I was so excited, I didn't have to WAIT two to three (or more) months to get into the hobby.

      So I'm guilty of doing an impulse-buy and I ordered Alice. I haven't looked back since! I will probably get my Impldoll sometime in November or December, but since it was part of an event it might take longer. :(
       
    2. I got my Ryo (Doll Family Lyre) first and about two weeks later I got My Alaxander (AOD Jimmy).. I actually got Alaxander first and a week or too later I got Ryo. I got 5 BJD dolls in the matter of a year. In that time I also had gotten some other expensive dolls also.. At that time I had the money to do that.. now.. not so much. I am thinking about getting another doll. I am unsure as to what I want to get though.
       
    3. i got my first BJD in may 2012, that summer i got my first SD so only a few months. since then i have gotten 2 yo's, 2 floating heads and sold my first doll since she was not suiting her character anymore.
       
    4. Ehehe, three years and counting. A little after I got my first doll I kind of lost interest for a while, it was just way too expensive for me to afford another one. And I was never good with saving my money anyway. These days I have my eyes set on a particular head and body I'm planning on hybridizing, and this time I'm not planning on going into doll withdrawal after getting him. :D
       
    5. It took 6 months for me to order my second doll... but dolls 3 & 4 arrived less than 2 months after him XD
       
    6. About a month... I lasted about as long as it took me to get paid again! x_x
       
    7. It took about half a year until I bought my second doll, and then another six months until i bought my third. :)
       
    8. Three or four years, I think.

      For a long time I had a single doll (a Volks Heath that I picked up on ebay several years ago). I'd come across the dolls via the action figure modification hobby and since I wasn't a part of the social side of anything doll-related at the time (forums or IRL) I didn't really follow new releases or new companies.

      Eventually I found my way to the doll groups on Flickr and from there to DoA and then, knowing how much more was available, suddenly I felt the need to do some more shopping! :)
       
    9. Still saving moneys for the second. The first arrived in the spring 2011
       
    10. I ordered my second around 5 months after I got my first, and then had to wait another 3 months to actually get her :o. But, I think waiting a half a year or so between dolls is a good choice. But that might be just because I'm usually an impulse buyer:sweat.
       
    11. My first two dolls I refer to as my twins because they were both up on eBay by the same seller and ended like 2 minutes apart. So I ended up impulse buying my first two, quickly followed by the rest of my horde.:D I regret nothing.
       
    12. I got my second doll 3 months after I received my 1st doll. And my 3rd one 2months after I received my second doll! It must be Lati's fault to keep producing LY in such a wonderful theme and they look extremely cute!
       
    13. About 2 hours! Both via ebay - having come across a sculpt that I absolutely loved and had to have, and without knowing anything really about bjds, I then immediately spent time looking up stuff about them... And came across a 2nd doll I really really wanted and just ending on ebay very shortly afterwards... Pretty much foreshadowed what was to come - 6 weeks later I now have 5, I guess by Christmas, there'll be no space left in my bedroom for me! (they've all been 2nd hand - it's been expensive, but not yet financially crippling!)...
       
    14. for me, it was just a couple of months--if that. I had just paid off my RS EID Akando & found a tan Limhwa Luna in the marketplace. I wasn't necessarily looking to buy another doll, but Tan Luna was on my wishlist & they don't seem to appear very frequently. Because she was on the MP, she arrived before my Akando. :)
       
    15. It is only several months between my first and second dolls' arrival.
       
    16. I ordered my girl on on July 1st, I think, and I ordered my boy a few days later. He came on July 13th. I was going to be perfectly fine with my girl, but she hadn't shown up yet and I was having to wait, and then... I just fell in love with Jie Doll's Altair sculpt. My willpower was just too weak, haha. But I don't regret either one. My girl finally got here on the 17th, and now I'm set for a long while. :)
       
    17. three weeks ;)
       
    18. Well, it was almost 2 years.. mostly because i couldn't decide XD and i 'just' got my first one :P
       
    19. 1 day! XD
      i bought my first dol (MSD) in a store in HK, and I was choosing between my girl or a yosd boy. I picked the girl but the next day I bought the boy too!
       
    20. Surprisingly a little less then a year.
      But that's only because I didn't have any expenses to pay and what not.
      Now I wont be getting any dolls for a while. OTL
