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. My first was $400.00 and she was a second hand doll. Actually, I am about the fourth or fifth owner. Her resin quite yellow. In retrospect, I probably paid too much for her. She does have some cool tattoo work. Anyway, she is my first and I will probably never sell her just because I remember the excitement of opening the box of my first BJD !
       
    2. I only just got my first doll recently. I paid $168 for her, with the shipping and tax and such. I got a second doll right after for $95. They are beautiful. I am happy with just these two for the time being and won't be buying any more dolls until I can afford higher-end ones at some point in the future.
       
    3. my very first doll was a doll love kaja I believe he was $250 I tend to buy much more expencive dolls not but I did enjoy him when I first joined the hobby
       
    4. stumble upon someone selling her Volks SD Coco for just $410. I immediately grabbed her (the owner bought Coco for $750). Then she offered her Luts Delf Kid Jamong (with faceup) for just $102!

      Got them both btw, Rm2000 for both ($512)
       
    5. My first was LUTS EL, and he was about $750 I think, 150 for the head , 600 for the body.
       
    6. The first doll I bought was about $650 I think. She is an MYou Junyao, and I got her fullset. The first doll I actually received first was my RS Mei from Denver Doll for $140ish.

    7. Mmm, my first doll was a DD, I paid around $700... I sold her for a very cheap price though.
       
    8. around 400 including clothes and wig.
       
    9. There was a sale event when I bought her so mine was 20% off and cost $173, but that price includes a face-up and the sandals from her fullset too. (Lord knows how much her customs fees will be when she actually arrives though...:shudder)
       
    10. First one was Angelregion Ren. I think he was around $350? Sold him to get a Tan El but would honestly buy him again if I could find him lol.
       
    11. My first doll was $375, but that's only because I bought her secondhand and she came with clothes, a wig, and a pair of eyes.
       
    12. $340 with out shipping, is Gus from angel studio
       
    13. Around $170 for a tan resinsoul mei. I think sometimes I regret it because it was such an impulse buy without really checking out other companies and I was more based on her being affordable. But when I pick her up I just love her and how she came out. It does seem to be a hard sculpt to make fit in with other bjds though, thats my downfall for her.
       
    14. Around $750 or so. Minifee what else is there to say lol.
       
    15. doll itself was like$236, with clothes, shoes, faceup, and shipping was like $500. Eyes and wig were not offered by the company, so i bought the from another company which was another $50.
       
    16. About $350 without shipping. He came with a wig and clothes also.
       
    17. My first doll is and Iplehouse EID. I got her with faceup, extra feet, wigs, and clothes...My total order was over $1000 :shudder The doll herself probably around $700 :chomp: No regret because I love her so much but that was expensive :eek:
       
    18. 240 i think i got her during a 15% off sale and i wanted factory face up
       
    19. My first Doll was a Ringdoll Teen Ran with a faceup and outfit. I don't remember the specific price but it was $600+ I think since it was a fullset.
       
    20. Got an msd body from mirodoll that was on sale for $30, and as a gift my sister got the head for me from Resinsoul for around $80. Of course that doesn't include the shipping for everything, lol.
