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 BJD was a second-hand Fairyland Fairyline Sircca, human version with factory face-up. She cost around $500, if I remember correctly. I was looking for her sculpt for months before I finally found someone who was selling her and I refused to even look at the Sircca recasts on eBay. Once I found her for sale, I jumped at the opportunity and the rest is history!

      Since then, I've paid a range of $200 to $800 on a single BJD to create my doll family.

    3. So far I have put $165 into him (a Musen Duel Head) but I'm also gonna get him a 72cm resinmatched body from resinsoul so he'll likely be about $350 or so in total.

    10. My first (and as of yet only) BJD was around about 300$ after taxes. She's a Leekeworld Chloe, whom I got blank and did my own faceup on.

    11. I am waiting for my first doll. But the price of doll and shipping was $1075 (and I guess vat and import fee will add another $150 to it).
      Yeah, it was expensive and it makes me scared, but he was the one.
      I bought Dollshe's Classic Grant Phillippe 70cm in pack with all three heads, three pairs of hands and two pairs of feet.

    12. Minifee Shushu. Paid 285 for her secondhand inc. shipping. I got some extra clothes and a wig with her as well. The seller was lovely! I absolutely fell in love with her specifically when I saw her, and now she's mine <3

    15. I don't have my first doll yet, but I only have one on my wish list as of right now. She's from Iplehouse and will be around 800 after the customization and face up. That also includes the shipping and insurance on the package.

      I know that sounds like a lot but I wanted to make sure I got one that is good quality and that I KNOW I'll love. I didn't want to buy a bunch of low quality ones on ebay or anywhere just to possibly disappointed because it wasn't the one I wanted.

    16. Mine was a Mirodoll Lili, so cheap as chips ($90 + shipping). However, she was a great introduction and I dove right into the hobby after buying her.

    18. A little $35 one off ebay, no paint and came pretty messed up, but for that price what can you expect. My next one was $300, very happy with him.

    19. My first was fullset Doll Chateau Alan, I think at that time it was around $800 all together with shipping. Saved up for it for quite long time and wanted it to be mine right away without layaway. No regrets :D

    20. I bought my first doll in March 2018, and he was worth 145 dollars. She is very precious, because she is the first doll.
