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?

    1. My first doll (DollZone Ro) was $300 flat. I bought him resale but he was pretty much brand new, with factory faceup and body blushing.

    2. Well I put Nitori (£430)on oreorder, and then I found Lumina (Fairyland Feeple60 Scarlet) (£600) and ended up bankrupting myself more to put her on layaway and paid her off first, so it depends on your perspective

    3. My first doll (Luts: Diez ver Amaro Limited) costed $581 (including $97 shipping fee), then I invested $370 on his clothes, and $150 on his face-up. So, total cost was: $1,101. I paid in full for all of those, luckily, I haven't bankrupted yet (maybe I will soon....) :...(

    5. 972 USD for a secondhand mini gem and it was worth it

    6. My first and only doll I have currently, I ordered in August 2019, and just recently received him in December 2019, a 70cm Doll, originally was $685 but was on sale for $605, it is a full set, with face-up, and it also included the doll carrier bag, where his box fits nicely, even though he’s a large doll.

    7. Best I can recall, my DZ Yuu was being sold for right about $500 with faceup, no extras. Plus shipping, of course.

    8. My first was about 400 euros with shipping, but I got about 100 euros of customs fees too. He was a Dollshe Grant in fashion size, new from company during some sale, I no longer own him as I have moved over to SD size. I have bought both cheaper and more expensive dolls afterwards, and there isn't really any correlation between the price I paid and how much I like the doll. I'm not into company basic line dolls though, I like realistic rare and artist sculpts more.

    9. My first doll was about 250 US dollars. It was second hand Iplehouse Bianca. She was unstrung but fully blushed and with strange albino face-up. Her previous owner bought her, blushed and just left in the box for five years. So she wasn’t new but in mint condition)

    10. I paid just over 300 with shipping for my first doll. I ordered from Miro Doll and getting a doll from that company convinced me not to order from them again. They may be cheap but it's frankly shoddy workmanship. You really get what you pay for in this hobby.

    11. I have a secondhand Little Enrill head which was $80 plus shipping, but I’m waiting to get a body. About a month ago I ordered Dream Valley’s wolf Glen and human Julie as full sets so it was very expensive, around $900.

    12. $375 for WITHdoll Vera custom face-up. I got very lucky.

    13. Hmmm... I bought two together from the same owner... I think after fees, taxes, and shipping; roughly 200 each? It was about 400$ for the whole trip if I remember...
       
      #433 Witchachu, Dec 18, 2019
    14. With all options... 258$ without shipping- I also bought some other doll stuff so my total spent overall was 330$ ish? I still need to get more to finish her too.
      My limited advice for beginners : assume you're spending 2x the price of your doll for clothes, wigs, faceup, etc.

    15. It's been a while, but I think Luna was a little over 100$? It might've been more than that - the price wasn't in USD, so I guess it didn't stick all that well in my mind.

      My second doll was 150ish$, and my third was 250ish$. So I guess what I'm okay with spending has been on a steady upward trend.

    16. His head cost $260($296 with shipping) and I later got the matching body secondhand on FB for around $665 ($750 with shipping) so $925 all told. My friends always ask so I'm never allowed to forget the price tag but I really desperately want to, since I'm gonna be spending the same amounts on my upcoming dolls. :...(

    17. This month I barely bought my first doll (he's on his way),
      I had been searching for him for two years and I finally found him.
      Sadly, I couldn't find him full-set, although he is new.
      He came out to be $688 USD, shipping included and with a face-up.
      However, I bought a few pairs of eyes for him, wig, clothes, shoes, etc., so in reality he ended up being around $800+.
       
      #437 Haides, Dec 24, 2019
    18. $600. He was $525, $25 for faceup, $50 for shipping. That was in 2005, Luts CP Delf El. Still own him.

    19. My MSD cutie was $425, with shipping. That was with the full-set.

    20. my first doll was from POPO doll Zimo with full makeups,
      it was about 2000 CNY which about $ 280 (today's rate, I remembered 10 years ago the rate were higher so probably less then $280)
