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.

    6. Uhmm I would probably be hated because i don't have a doll yet. LOL but the one I'm planning will probably cost me around $400 including EMS shipping which is super important in the current place I'm residing right now. I'm so afraid to purchase my first doll without anything such as wigs and eyes so I'm buying wigs already hahaha

    9. Around 850 for the full set. The head turned out to be the most expensive piece

    10. Mine was about $185, I should have saved up and bought a sculpt I really loved but I was ready to dive in. He is no longer with me...

    11. An Iplehouse YID Gentle Freezia before she got discontinued... Hmm... To be honest I don't remember the prize at all but judging by the prize of the current IH YID I have to assume it was something like that - around $600.

    13. My first doll was bought through a dealer. A Doll Leaves 42cm Kira with the default face-up. He was £165.20 GBP, or about $215 USD. I bought a bunch of extras along with him though, so the total came to quite a bit more.
      I don't regret any of it.

    14. A fortune! ...it felt like it at the time at least.
      Less than $300, shipping included, for a LUTS KDF Bory. Funny how that has become such a laughable sum, a few more expensive dolls later...

    15. First one I purchased ever (still waiting on) was around 284 after shipping (purchased wig and face-up). First I recieved in the mail was 383 after shipping (full set).

    16. Mine was 339$ US including shipping, which doesn't sound too bad considering that I took a 3 month layaway for him. But converted into CAD $ makes the cost skyrocket to ~450$ CAD :o

    17. Little YoSD Bontenmaru was only $450USD for me before shipping (a little over $500 after shipping/fees), since I nabbed him on a 'time sale.' The only thing he doesn't have is his company faceup, but that's okay because I plan on giving him one anyway. :) He'll be my only doll for a while.

    20. I first bought my doll's body ($235) and, a few months later, his head ($70), but the total cost just added up to $120 more due to shipping fees and import taxes. That was my DragonDoll Di, and I chose him because I liked his lean, long frame (...not very fond of "buffer" boys). I still have the doll, but I've since replaced his head with another sculpt.

      ...If it's relevant, the first complete doll I bought (in one go, that's it) was my fourth, my Dollshe Saint, which I bought in the first of the manufacturer's sale at 50% ($375, if I remember correctly), added $50 for the face-up, and ended up paying $170 more for shipping fees and import taxes.
