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 much was your first doll?

Oct 4, 2016

    1. Gwen, my Clover Doll Echo, cost $140 after shipping. She was on Junkyspot's Black Friday sale, and I guess they must've had a lot of her that no one was buying, because she was discounted pretty hard. 2 more dolls have joined my family since her arrival, but she's still my favorite!
       
    2. I bought both of my dolls super close together, so I'll mention them both here. Sera, my Resinsoul Sui head on the Tang body came to about $180 (would have been $160, but their Dark Tan resin is 20 dollars extra) and then with shipping he ended up being about $206. Jean, my Akagi Doll Ban MSD, came to $209 after shipping from Alice's Collections. I'm sure some people would think I chose the dolls I did cause of my limited budget (which is true, I was being as money conscious as possible in this hobby) but I honestly couldn't see any other 1/4 scale sculpt being Sera than the RS Sui. And after nearly having a bad experience trying to buy a doll secondhand and learning something about the doll that turned me off from it, I went looking and remembered that Akagidoll was still on sale on AC, so I went for it after realizing that the Ban head is a great fit for my Jean :aheartbea
       
    3. Mine was a Dikadoll Chi. He was a little over 500 with a company face up, I ordered him during Dikadoll's summer event, so I got jointed hands with him at the same time. Pretty good for a doll of his size, I think, and now that's he's retired I'm especially glad I got him when I did.
       
    4. My first was $200. The ones I really want are more but I currently am trying to hunt down the Super Sonico build.
       
    5. My first one was around 600$ I think? I ordered him without a face up but to my surprise he came with one haha :lol:
       
    6. First to come home almost 10 years ago cost med around $800, got him as a fullset including face-up. Saved for quite a while, but worth every penny
       
    7. My first doll I get from my visit to japan so she is special to me, we clicked the first time i saw her so i know i had to adopt her even if she was expensive

      She is belle by volks and i buy her for $2200 from mandarake in akihabara
       
    8. My first doll cost me around 520$ with company face up and shipping, without clothes and shoes.

My first doll was a doll more model doll ha-yarn cho who I paid about $400 aud for! she came with heaps of stuff like clothes, wigs, props and a dollmore carry bag so the price was insanely good!
