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. I got my first doll from Luts! Blank and with shipping, he came out to about $300 even. It was awesome because it was kind of a surprise I was able to get him at all. We got some money as a gift for our wedding and my husband's first question was if I 'still wanted that doll I'm always looking at'. He got himself a lightsaber, lol
       
    2. My first bjd was $225, I got him on a 3 month layaway with Denver Dolls. He is a Fairyland Realpuki Papilio.
       
    3. My technical 'first' is a hybrid (his head was the first head I got out of two others I also have and his body is the first I have got) and in total he cost me around ยฃ230 total I think? That's including shipping and also customs fees :sigh
       
    4. I paid roughly $500 total between the head and the body. I bought her secondhand head and body from different sellers. The head already had a professional faceup! One of the wonderful things about buying secondhand.
       
    5. Its difficult as after exchange rate it comes out differently. I bought her overseas. it was like 400 usd
       
    6. About 750 $. I still have my first doll.
       
    7. Dz raymond for $300. He turns out to be the cheapest large doll I own! But I love him the most.
       
    8. My first was $190, a Soom Mini Gem tan Uyoo as a "X-mas kit". I paid $250 total with shipping. She came in pieces, so I strung her myself. I still have her and she's "leader" of my whole group.
       
    9. Dolkot Msd Yuna 250$ with makeup ^_^ I bought her in 2013.
       
    10. Mine was around 400usd I think. I bought the head and body separately so on top of that I had to buy wig, eyes, clothes, and shoes.
       
    11. My first doll is a hybrid. The body is a mirodoll 60cm for $116. Her head is a Black Cherry doll Aishat, which was $140. So overall my first bjd cost around $254. I had to restring her when I first got her, but other than that she's been great! I have 3 more on the way that I have spent ALOT MORE on!!! No regrets! Lol
       
    12. maybe around $400 including clothes :D
       
    13. $162 USD for my Bobobie, plus $25 shipping (I'm in Canada)
       
    14. I bought my second-hand Unoa lusis for $210 including shipping, eyes and clothes. Her first owner wanted to leave the hobby so she sold all of her dolls on ebay and I won the auction. I was very happy to get one of my dream dolls for such a good price!
       
    15. Lets see, I just ordered my first about a werk ago. Total was $548, but that includes $100 of acessories and a faceup. Her base price was $380 I believe.

      EDIT: I forgot I was able to get an event kitty doll for $10 as well.
