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 $210 dolls leaves berg
       
    2. I spent probably about $550 total with price tag and shipping. I wouldn't settle for less than an anime style doll at the time and since the only two big players I knew of was Smart Doll and Dollfie, I ended up getting a Dollfie. Thanks to user reviews of course.
       
    3. Mine was a doll leave berg. So $210ish
       
    4. $160-ish, I think. Oh, how I wish I stuck to dolls that price... :sweat
       
    5. I bought the first doll around $450. She was full set and faced up. I remember that I waited her for 3 months. Now she is replaced for several reasons, but I still miss her sometimes.
       
    6. My first doll was 414€, she came nude with face-up and jointed hands. But she got a tiny bit damaged on the way here so I got a small refund.
       
    7. I don't actually remember but she was between $300-$500.
       
    8. My first BJD was around 200-220 usd (I can't remember exactly) and shipping was not much within the US at that time. He was a 1/3 angel of dream guy, second hand.
       
    9. $228, not including shipping or anything! Can't say I remembered that off the top of my head; I checked Alice's Collections and, considering I got him last year, I doubt the price changed all that much. I bought from Impldoll so I lucked out on the sculpt I loved being from a lower-price company. (He's also the only boy I've got.)
       
    10. $120 plus shipping from Junky Spot. A Bobobie Sprite, whom I still have. My avatar, though she looks different now.
       
    11. My first doll was around the $200 something range after shipping and was a Doll Leaves Oscar with Company faceup. I love him to bits!
       
    12. Somewhere in the realm of $600 with shipping? I got a Latidoll M with a basic full-set. He's still the most I've ever spent on a doll; I was apparently much better at patiently saving when I was 16 than I am now at 30 lol, though I need to do that again if I want a couple of the dolls on my wishlist...
       
    13. With shipping, $208.50 - an in-stock True Love Xiaomo (with faceup) from Janesdolland.
       
    14. I think my doll itself was around $600. Wigs, eyes and such added up to be extra $400ish
       
    15. A ResinSoul Mei for $150. I received some surprise money from relatives, and it was just enough to buy her!
       
    16. My first doll was a full set Ringdoll Sol he was over $600 with shipping. I still have him (my avatar).
       
    17. I want to say it was $250. I don't remember since it was so long ago but I do know it was one of the lower cost ones that you used to be able to get through Mint on Card.
       
    18. ~$132 total with shipping. He's a second hand and was fully dressed with a really nice faceup from the previous owner.
       
    19. My first doll was 110€, she aas a Resinsoul Ya. I was the third owner, I got it with some clothes and face up and I still have her. ^^
       
    20. My Fairyland Rendia a-line, after getting face up + wig + shipping, was $600. Pricey for a first doll, but I fell in love with her so hard and fast I figured that it was worth it.
