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 doll was a withdoll girl from nine9style, I think she was about 500 something, maybe a bit more. I bought a second doll the next day, a Volks boy fullset called Kei. He's on the Graffiti body. He was over a thousand :doh. I knew very little of BJD's at the time and thought they all cost that much. ha. I spent every penny I had at the time on them. Was broke for ages. I do not regret them, but damn my wallet still hurts and this was like two years ago.

    2. So many people jumping right in, I wasn't nearly that brave!

      My first doll was my Angel of Dream Qing, purchased secondhand on Tumblr! I don't remember the exact cost but I think she was around $145, and I had to pay it off in layaway payments because my job at the time was giving me like no hours :lol: the gal who sold her to me was so sweet and understanding, I was soooo terrified of ordering my first bjd! So scared she'd get lost, so scared she'd get broken, oh gosh.

      But she was packed wonderfully and came to me safe and sound! The seller included a wig, eyes, and clothes for her ;__; She was so nice!

      It took me yeeears in order to finally get the hang of faceups, give her her current one, get her an accurate wig, and actually start making an accurate wardrobe for her. I'll never be finished with my dolls because they're ever changing, but she has definitely taken the longest to slowly pull together. I still haven't even bought her heel feet yet >>""

    3. My first doll was an Immortality of Soul Mars head on a classy doll 61cm body. The doll itself was around $320 but the shipping unfortunately put it just over $400. I hate his body and definitely regret getting it. Especially when my second doll was $250 including shipping and I love him so much more. Live and learn I guess!

    4. This is actually kind of an interesting question, because the first doll I bought was not the first doll I owned!

      The first doll I bought was my Doll Leaves Maya with a faceup, for $159 from Alice's Collections. But I also bought clothes and accessories (enough to get free shipping), which ended up totaling to $276.70 with the paypal fees.

      The first doll I owned, my DC Jodie, I bought a couple months later from a friend from college for $150, and she shipped him for free. Since he was already made, he showed up a week before the other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    6. My first doll was a Bobobie Rong with her company faceup and she was $160. When I first got into the hobby I was so young so I was really excited to jump in, but I still love her to this day.

    9. I thought I was only going to get one doll and be done, so I saved up some money and did not care how expensive she was. If it was gonna be the only doll I would get (lol jokes on me) then I was gonna go full force. Total price with shipping was 645$.
