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. Head $250 marketplace, Body $440+ shipping from the company = $690+shipping. She had a faceup but was bald and naked.
      (Luts Delf Juri05)
       
    2. my very first bjd is a d.i.m eileen vinyl doll. she was more like a ready made factory line doll. got her at usd80 + 20 shipping.
       
    3. Over $600 :horror:
      I mean I love her to death but whyyyyyy. I could think of so many important things to do with that money now lmao.
      I'm an independent adult now so I see that number and it's 800x worse than it seemed before (somehow) :XD:
       
    4. mine's is about 400.
       
    5. My first full doll cost about $450! He was a hybrid and I love him!
       
    6. My first doll was a Mirodoll for $120 plus a whole lot of shipping. :P
       
    7. I bought a angel fantasy Alice second hand for $175 with shipping an a complete outfit , she has definitely been my favorite one so far and she was a perfect fit for the character I was unknowing after lol .
       
    8. 800, but that doesnt include shipping. I can't wait till she arrives.
       
    9. My first doll was $450, I did a lot of research before settling on him back in the day. He was a fullset U from Dream of Doll. He's still one of my favourite bjd's to this day. <3!
       
    10. My first april story was abt $350
       
    11. My first was 70€ mirodoll Lili but i also bought a male body to hybrid an aod head and I already had a second hand DoD (but I ordered her later, so I consider Lili my first doll)
       
    12. My first was also my most expensive at a little over 1k with shipping included. He was a very rare sculpt and a fullset, and I was in a vastly different financial situation thirteen years ago when I ordered him. Now the thought of spending that much on a single doll gives me heart palpitations.
       
    13. My boy was about some over 700$ , which included a shirt, top and wig. He's a dikadoll qisu ^^
       
    14. I got my first doll secondhand from a user on Instagram, I got him for about $180 I think? I love him to death though and am looking forward to fixing him all up!
       
    15. My first doll - Resinsoul Song in normal skin with make up. Bought in December 2011, with a discount of 15%. If memory serves me right, it was all worth $ 125. Until now my the most a favorite a boy!
       
    16. My first doll was a Fairyland Minifee in tan skin with face-up, which added up to 517$ (not included shipping). Quite expensive for a first doll, but I love her so much and I certainly don‘t regret buying her:)
       
    17. I think that would be 450$ for E-an because I really loved the sculpt.
       
    18. Mine was about $450? It was a pair of MSDs directly from Dream of Dolls (sadly the shop is no more so I can't check on the actual price..)
       
    19. Mine was around $520 with shipping. I can't remember exactly ^^; it was Crobidolls Sinbi
      Love my baby :whee:
       
    20. My first ever doll was a Switch Holy Soseo Head on an April Story body; his head was about 250 and the body was 400(which I bought with my tax return money)
