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 Many Dolls Did You Buy Your First Year?

Aug 21, 2011

    1. I ordered my first doll in December 2011 and it arrived in March, i bought another in July so i have 2 dolls. Im itching to get another one (lol) but they're so expensive and Im a student who doesnt work so its a bit difficult to justify spending $1000 on a doll to my dad who always tells me to save my money to buy a car. I cant imagine buying more than 2 dolls a year >< esp. since i like the larger ones and there's simply no room in my bedroom to keep them unless its in a box under the bed (where my two currently reside unfortunately) - i dont have shelf space!
       
    2. I bought three in my first year, and I am still keeping my first one ever since I brought him.
      He is in a really bad condition, so I am keeping him in box for most of the time, but I will never send him away. I guess I just love him more just because he is my first doll!
       
    3. I really only got into the hobby in the beginning of this November. Bought my first BJD 1 month ago, and have a 2nd on her way already (plus an extra head).
      So that's like only 2 1/2 in my first year, technically ;)

      I just disregard the fact that this could get out of hand and snowball into something crazy very quickly, haha
       
    4. bought my first doll this year- the first doll I have ever owned.
      I now have five
       
    5. Hmm, I actually just had my one year anniversary in this hobby! I've only ordered one doll so far. I plan to order 3 more really soon.
       
    6. Mostly all my doll were bought during the first year in hobby

      i didnt order clothes with Levi, the first one i bought. so i just made him wear the clothes i sewed from socks xD lol poor Levi~
      the 2nd one came before Levi had a decent set of clothes.. >_>; i really felt bad that time~ xP
       
    13. I bought 3 dolls in my first year, and I got everyone eyed and clothed before I got another one.
       
    14. I bought two dolls within one month of each other, one was on layaway, then I got impatient and got another one!
       
    15. I'm still in my first year here, and I've already bought two...I didn't finish the first one before I bought the second, and my second is still not home yet. I feel like I would buy a third before my first year is over :P
