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 Old Are You (continued... 2)

Feb 16, 2018

    1. I’m 22 and I’ve been collecting since I was 16. I’m super thankful that there’s a somewhat active dolly community in my area and I can usually meet other collectors at local cosplay conventions.

    2. I'll be 33 in March
       
    3. I'm 32 in Fed but got into the hobby at age 20
       
    4. 25 in March, know about Bjds for a few years but only now getting into it
       
    5. I am 25. Pleasantly surprised there are quite a few people in my age range!
       
    6. I'm 28, I've been collecting for less than 10 years
       
    7. My back keeps reminding me that I’m 42, but my brain somehow believes that I haven’t made it past 12 yet. Most of my family would agree that I’m stuck at 12 as well. 15 more years and I hope to be a 12 year old with a nice pension...

    8. I'm 18 and 19 this year ! I'm so excited and saving up for my very first doll !! I discovered this hobby through a kind of similar hobby ? I discovered faceups and customizing dolls through monster high dolls and then it just kind of moved on~ now I really want to work on bjds~ Sadly I don't know any doll collectors near me either .. But oh well ! It's still fun !
       
    9. I'm 18, started collecting at 15 :)
       
    10. I’m 20 and I have my first bjd at 16:dance
       
    11. I'll be twenty this year!
       
    12. 27 and my first doll was at 21!
       
    13. I turned 21 this year and started collecting this year too. My first came in today, in fact.

    15. I'm 33 and have been given a new lease on life by having something to fill my time with - sewing is a daunting but exciting challenge, practising faceups is very enjoyable and I love learning about fashion and styling. Especially when dolls have such good figures, it's fun to window shop cool clothes.
       
    16. I'm gonna be 28 this year. Just got my first doll this year :)
       
    17. I'm almost 21 and I've been super interested in BJDs since I was 11-12 years old! I'm hoping that now I can own my first BJD soon! I always thought that I should wait until I was older to own my first BJD so I'm super ready to get my own baby!
       
    18. I'm 29! I think many people are around 20-40 years because they are young enough to be involved in character creation and fantasy, and also old enough to have jobs and have money for this kind of "nonsense" (normie speech, both for fantasy, original characters and collecting "toys"). :D
       
    19. 24 here, been out of it for a while but it's good to be back!
       
    20. I'm 30! I started collecting about six years ago, but I've been a fan since my teens when I first saw them!
