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. It was almost exactly a year between my first two dolls. I got them both at christmas time, one year apart.
       
    2. I finished paying the layaway for my first doll late September and received her early October. After that I was going to wait a while before I bought another one, take my time saving up and whatnot, but then this one doll I've admired for ages has gone for sale and I couldn't resist, haha. So I made the first payment for her today! I wish I'd been able to pay in full but my job pays for my projects at random times and they still owe me quite a bit, so I had to put down a down payment to hold her while they don't feel like paying me the rest. Such is the life of a freelancer I guess. :'D
       
    3. I bought my first two dolls at the same time.
       
    4. ya same as @silver fairy when I first started the hobby, dolls I wanted were all limited and already released dolls. So I hunted them both on Yahoo Auction Japan at once.
       
    5. I haven't even gotten my first doll and I have already ordered my second. Not at all intended, but she is limited and I didn't want to miss out on my chance to get her, so yeah.. :XD:
       
    6. My last doll was October 12th 2014.
      Gasp it's been a year! Right now I'm actually fighting internal demons about a doll I've wanted for months but it's just out of my price range at the moment. But now there's an event and i qualify for a free doll if I get him now but... AHHH So this either happens now or I wait another year.
       
    7. About a month. Once I crossed over the bjd bridge there was no going back!
       
    8. Lol in this thread it seems like lots of people thought their first doll would be their only doll but proven wrong in a matter of weeks. Haha well for me i knew i wanted more dolls but it took me 4 years to get my 2nd doll but i gained speed after that.
       
    9. Probably around 6 months? I don't quite remember, as it was a very long time ago. I do remember thinking that I'd be happy with only one, and well, that did not last long at all.
       
    10. I waited about one week between my first and second doll and 30 days between my second and third... I am terrible. lol. I got too excited. When I get into a new hobby I just buy all of the things. So I bought my first doll the following week or so I got paid and bought my second one. When my first doll came in the mail it was about two or three weeks after that when I got my next doll in the mail lol.
       
    11. i went to order my first doll and got three... so about 10 minutes :|
       
    12. Between the first and second I held out for two whole years -- never been that long since!
       
    13. My second is on the way right now, but they will be about six months apart. It would have been sooner if it weren't for some setbacks.
       
    14. It took me a little more than a year to get my second doll, who arrived in November. ^3^ She's like an early Christmas present to myself!
       
    15. About one month between bodies.

      4 months later, got the first head.
       
    16. A week. My family gave me graduation money. I had bought my first doll already then fell in love with a Mystic Kid.
       
    17. I had picked out my first doll before actually buying my first doll, how funny is that?
      I bought my actual first doll second hand, and the doll i had intended to be my first was on layaway.
      So I received my 2nd doll about 2 months after the first and I already have my 3rd coming. XD
       
    18. I ordered during the event, so I have a full doll and a doll head processing. However, I intend to order the body for the floating head in January. So if that counts, it's technically a month wait between ordering my first doll, and ordering the body that will complete my second doll. Hopefully, they will be able to arrive the same time without adding on too much time to my order. I am still deciding on a sculpt for my third doll, but I probably will not wait very long before I order her, especially if the other two get here and I fall absolutely in love with them.
       
    19. I ordered my second doll about 2,5 months after I got the first. I have been watching the second doll for weeks and decided to order it because of winter sales. She'll arrive probably late February or early March which is about five months later than the first arrived.
       
    20. I got my first doll in 2012 and it was about two years before I got my second doll. I was just hesitant about spending the money on an sd doll , so that's why I waited so long to get him. ( my first doll was a msd). I haven't waited that long since, it's usually less than a year between them now.
