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'm turning 30 as of next month. Though I have been in this hobby for ten years now, and researching about getting a doll since I was thirteen. It took me a full seven years to be able to purchase my first and I've never looked back since.

    11. I'm 20, about to turn 21 :XD: I've been interested in BJDs since I was 10, I think, when I got my first KDF. I didn't have the money for it since I was little so my parents got me a doll for Christmas. Looking back, I'm shocked they ever went for it due to the price (when, in their minds, I could just play with Barbies for less than $10) and even bought me another later. I'm on my own now and trying to save up for another, but I'm in college and will be for another ~6 years so it's hard.

    12. I'm 26, I got my first doll in 2012-ish when I was 18 or so, I stepped back in between for a long time because I've been broke or lacking space for most of the years in between, but I never sold my dolls, I nearly did but I just can't stand the thought of it. I haven't bought a doll since about 2015-ish now though and I really am hoping I'll get things sorted soon and be able to save just a little a month. I feel like the hobby made me more creative or inspired.

    14. I'm a little over 40 and just ordered my first doll! I've been interested in them for some time but didn't really know what they were or what was available until this year. I feel a little late to the party but very excited to get caught up :)

    16. I am 48, I have been in the doll hobby it seems my whole life. Online I would say it started around 2000. As for bjd's specifically I got my first back around 2008 or so. I have gone back and forth on resin dolls, I think finding the right size was key. I personally cannot handle the huge dolls. They are gorgeous but they weren't for me. I like the smaller dolls, currently 1/6th scale is my sweet spot.

    20. 36 and been in the hobby since I was 19. My oldest doll has been with me for almost 18 years, I can’t believe it! The hobby has grown so much. I remember when DoA was a yahoo group with 600 members and I knew every single mold on the market. Now there’s so much, so many choices and such a huge community! I’m glad that while my interest has waxed and waned over the years, I’ve always kept my dolls and loved them and continue to collect more ^^ I managed to make my dream of having a humongous doll come true five years ago when I brought home a Trinity Doll.
