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.

    2. I am in this boat right now lol, Just bought my first, $550usd after shipping and 2 extra hands. I do not want to think about the exchange rate to cad.

      but I can't seem to stop looking around at other dolls that would be a good companion for her XD

    4. First doll I had was a Yeon Bee from Souldoll, she cost me around 400 euros (with make-up and shipping fees).
      Sometimes I regret having sold her sell, she was very delicate but it was too hard to find pretty clothes !
      Now the mold is discountinued.

    5. My first doll was a 1/3 for about $700. I quickly went wild and bought more of the same kind, but then... fell out of love with them in favor of mini size. I've since sold almost all of the originals in favor of new ones lol.
       
    6. My first doll was a Doll Leaves Betty for $226 during an event. I had trouble finding the perfect wig-eyes-outfit combo at first but I've finally settled on a style that really brings out her sculpt!
       
    7. My first doll was 355 USD. I'm planning on getting her an extra wig, though, so she'll be a little more in the end.
       
    8. My doll is $200 even with the face-up included :sweat I also bought a lot of accessories with her that added up to more. I have another I put on layaway the day after for $540. So there’s that >_<
       
    9. My first experience with resin was an in stock DF-A head at Alice's Collections for 29 USD, but my first full doll (which is still on layaway :sweat) is 320 USD~

    10. The first doll I purchased was a second hand kun from volks for about 300€
       
    11. Dived right in to the Switch brand for my first so he was rather expensive. His head alone was £230 plus £30 for postage. Luckily customs didn't nab me. Body is incoming and was approx £490 plus £58 postage. It's one expensive hobby.
       
    12. My first doll was a LUTS DELF and I believe she cost around $680?
       
    13. My first (brand new) girl was around $400, she's a Souldoll Milky Way that I've named Claudia.
       
    14. My first doll was the fullset Ringdoll Xie Lian, about USD $850 after shipping. No regrets, I love him so much! He makes me happy just to look at him, haha.
       
    15. My first doll was a Luts KDF Ani, she was about $400 CAD plus a few extra parts and wig bringing her to about $600 CAD. I've since sold her as my taste in doll has changed quite dramatically
       
    16. 300 for a naked 1/6 doll with faceup! I'd say that's a pretty standard price?
       
    17. Mine was $285 shipped for a yosd with company faceup.
       
    18. I don't remember exactly; it was 2009 and I got a 60cm Obitsu, a head, and eyes from Junkyspot... so under $200 I think
       
    19. This was almost 10 years ago so I don’t remember the exact price :sweat but i remember it being super great deal since it was secondhand sd doll it was around $220
       
    20. If I remember correctly, my first doll cost me about 300. This was back in 2006 and for a Customhouse Little Junior Zephyrose which I purchased from eBay. This was around 2006 when I was first in the hobby.
