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 ordered my first doll in december 2015. I had saved up money for a few months and waited for the Luts winter event to arrive so I could save money by getting the head for free. When they first released the photos of the event head, I was so relieved because he was exacly what I was hoping for! So I got my first doll for 464$, he is the 2015 senior delf event head on the type 4 senior delf body.
       
    2. My Minifee Eva was about $1000 after taxes and customs...
       
    3. My first doll was $460,for a volks MSD full choice.included faceup,wigs,eyes.
       
    4. My first doll was $500 with face-up. It was a Doll In Mind Galahad.
       
    5. an estimate of 255usd including shipping, it's a hybrid mirodoll and a secondhand april story head with faceup ^^
       
    6. My first doll was approximately $450 including make up, clothes, wig and eyes. I no longer have him though.
       
    7. My first doll was a resinsoul mei and she was 150 i think? then my next doll was a soom cuprit... for... 900?
       
    8. My first doll was a Resinsoul Mei, and she costs $140. However I got her for free because my parents bought her for me as my 16th birthday present!
       
    9. My first was also an off topic doll, who also cost $180 :lol:
       
    10. It's mystic kids Cavell for 100USD.
       
    11. Over $700. He was a Sadol Whee in full set! Unfortunately, despite being my first doll (and being veeery expensive), I didn't bond with him much... He was beautiful, but I just didn't connect with him at all, and he mostly lay in his box...

      That's how I learned I prefer MSD and smaller dolls! Not only are they a more manageable size, but generally much less expensive!
       
    12. My first doll was.. $1250 (that includes UK shipping, I got her second hand from another UK collector so no customs, woo)
      She is a Agra tan minifee elf sircca with white lucywen Centaur body (no wings)

      Only been in the hobby going on my 3rd month now, still have her and still love her!
      I feel like I spent alot going into the hobby not knowing if it was even for me, before I had her I'd never even held a bjd before.
      Guess I have the habit of just diving in. No regrets yet though. (Was internally freaking out when I clicked send on the payment haha)
       
    13. My first was $400 after shipping and I don't regret it a bit
       
    14. My first doll was a 5 Star Doll TongTong I received many moons ago for about $150 (I think?)
       
    15. If we're only talking specifically DOA-approved dolls my first was $250, Dollzone Benjamin. He still hasn't arrived, lol.

      My very first bjd was Doll Chateau Carol at $232 though.
       
    16. My first doll was second hand at 150$, a SoulDoll Chiron :> he is and probably forever will be my favourite doll
       
    17. My first doll is a Mizi.W head from Flower&Junior hybrid Doll Leaves' msd girl body, which cost me about 256$
       
    18. My very first BJD was Amelia Thimble, I bought it because it was little, it was in stock and not so expensive.
      I just wanted to see what a resin doll was before to spend more money.
      I don't remember precisely but it cost less than 150$ I think.
      I spent so much money on dolls since that!!!
       
    19. DC Ada, $200 USD used.
      She was a nice and relatively cheap starter doll, and I don't regret that at all - but you do get what you pay for. She's full of personality, which I love, but she's really too small to work with >.< (or work with without getting stressed out and angry).
       
    20. $450 for my dearmine oz for the full set + an extra wig, including shipping. i'd been eyeing the company for like 5 years and loved this limited version, so i'm happy!
