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. 30yrs old currently! I got into BJD when I was 16-17yrs old and got my first doll at 18yrs old, but my collection didn't really start to blossom until I was like mid 20's!!

    2. 35 in one week ^^; I didn’t get into dolls until my 30’s. I was always afraid of them after some bad experiences with a very creepy doll as a child, and it took me a long time of dating a collector to get over my fear, but once I did I dove in headfirst!

    9. Im 22 but I got into bjds when I was 18. I love how old this hobby is. I never thought about people being twice my age and getting into the hobby in their 20s. It is becoming almost like a tradition for some people <3
       
    10. Currently 30 years old! I've been interested in BJDs since I was in high school and got my first one (second hand) at 24-25 I believe. My first owner doll was this year though! My MDD Lily :)
       
    11. Currently 28-years-old. Got back into BJD hobby last year-ish. I was more active when I was in a senior high school/first year of uni (like around 16-21).
       
    12. Im 15 turning 16 in october. My first bjd hasn't arived yet but im super excited to meet him.
       
    13. As of right now I'm currently 28 and got my first doll back when I was 18 though I haven't been active in this hobby for a long time in between then and now.
       
    14. I'm 21 but I first discovered the hobby when i was 15ish

    16. 32 now but got into the hobby in my early 20s :)
       
    17. I'm quickly approaching 25 (oof, when did that happen). I became aware of the hobby when I was 14 and have been actively involved on and off since I was 16.
       
    18. Hello Everyone,

      I was just bouncing around in here thinking about the average age of a member here and thought to myself that there aren't many members of my age .
      This thought came from my thinking back to when I first discovered BJD's and I thought I was older than most then.
      Anyway to answer the main question I am 51 and I have a lovely group that started in 2004.

    19. I always feel like I'm probably older than everyone else around me and am always surprised when I find out not only are there members around my age but there's always some that are older.
       
    20. There are many of us but the ones of us that are still around here are thinning out. But I have been here for a long while even though I took a little time away to deal with life problems and issues.
