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.

    3. im 30 and got my first doll in 2008 though my oldest doll that i still own is from 2010
       
    4. I'm 22 and turning 23 next year August, just got my first doll but I've known about BJD's since I was about 16-ish?? It's something I've always admired but never dove into until now!!
       
    5. I am 33 :) I’ve been in the hobby for only 1.5 years.
       
    6. I was about 21-25 when I got into the hobby but I didn't have a good paying job then to afford them. However now I'm 33 and just recently got my first bjd. They are more affordable now with so many different types of paying option.

    7. I'm 32! I got my first bjd when I was 29. I'm honestly flabbergasted so many teenagers have bjds my mom would have laughed me out of the room if I asked for a doll that cost more than 30$ I'm happy for them their parents let them explore their creativity like that.

    9. I'm 48 I think? Must be, as it's an Ox year and I'm an Ox~ I got my first BJD about 15 years ago and become a DoA mod shortly after. So 15 years of BJD ownership and service to the forum.

    10. I am 33, I think. I'm that old. I have to do math when anyone asks me how old I am.

    11. I’m 28. I got into the hobby at 14, but took a decade long break from 2011 until this past April.
       
    12. 32. I joined the hobby in 2007 at 17, and bought my first doll shortly after I turned 18. Recently returned from a 4 year hiatus in the hobby and enjoying myself greatly.
       
    13. I'm 23 this year. My first BJd I got was last year when I finally started working full time. Now, I'm with 7 bjd boys in a span of a year:sweat
       
    14. Just turned 25 last month and wow! Thinking back on it I got my first dolls back in 2014 when I was 17! I ended up spending a huge chunk of my graduation gift money on them but I still think it was worth it.
       
    15. I'm 30 and I got my first doll in 2019. But, I've known about the hobby since I was 15 or 16. The fact that I can finally participate is so amazing.
       
    16. I'm 42 now. :nowords:

      (Quoating myself from previous thread:

      [37 years now and soon 38. Almost 10 years in the hobby, yay!

    17. I'm 31 and I got my first BJD in 2017 ^^
       
    18. 31! Started in 2013 (dolls in general), took a break and then came back in 2018, to focus on BJDs :3nodding:
       
    19. I'm 32! I started collecting dolls generally when I was 18, which was when I got my first BJD as well! It's kind of nuts to think I've been doing this (even though at times I've been less active) my entire adult life?!
       
    20. I'm 27 and have been aware of BJDs since I was around 13-14, however I didn't get my first doll until I was 22 (or 23, I don't fully remember) as a birthday gift. It's been nice to slowly grow my collection, see what piques my interest and what things I thought I wanted I later changed my mind on. Tbh the thing that really kicked off my rising interest in collecting BJDs was seeing how much money I spend on playline dolls lol
