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. Unsure if I already responded to this thread but I'm 22 and will be 23 this August, I purchased my first BJD in november however I have been fascinated by them since 2010.
       
    3. I'll be 33 soon (next month) and I've been in the hobby for ~about~ 15 years :clover
       
    4. I’m 28 right now. But I’ll be 29 in March and I have been in the hobby since 2014
       
    5. I’m 32! I first got interested in BJDs in my teens, looking at dolls online, but didn’t get a proper doll until I was in my late twenties!

    6. I'm 20! Hence why I can't afford much, haha. In general I tend to be good at setting aside money over long periods of time to save up for things I really want, but I have realistic limits. :huh?:

    7. 25 these days, got my first doll last year! I'd first seen BJDs online when I was in... high school? So like, first half of the 2010s. I think they were on DeviantArt while I was looking up patterns and stuff for other dolls! :lol:I didn't seriously look at them or put the money in to get one until after college, though.
       
    8. I am 46 and been in the hobby (with hiatus) for 13 years.

    10. Turning 48 this year, and it's been 19 years in the hobby (actively collecting, 20 if you count the year I spent pining for what was, at that time, the impossible). Nearly half my life now, haha.

    11. I started in the hobby at 21 and I am currently 31
       
    12. I'm 44 and I only got into bjd's awhile ago.
       
    13. 40, and I've been into the hobby (includes hiatus) about 17 years.
       
    14. I'm really old... I'm almost embarrassed to say how old.... over 50 :sweat dolls make me happy!! I can say I will die with dolls.

    15. I’m 21 too (even though you aren’t 21 anymore :D) was interested in bjd dolls for years and now as an adult I can finally afford them
       
    16. I'm 23 and I think I got my first doll when I was 14! She still looks great because I've always been so cautious I barely take her out of her box (need to start doing that more so I can actually take some half decent pictures)
       
    17. I'm 32 too!

      I am 32 :D Always loved playing with dolls. I was into Barbies with articulated body when I was a kid. Then bumped into Volks temporary shop in my hometown in Japan in 2008. I was 18 that time. I got my first BJD there but couldn't enjoy because I didn't know much about BJDs and was embarrassed that I liked dolls at my age. When I was 31 and having a big ta return I got myself a new BJD and I've been hooked ever since!
