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. Just scanning through this thread quickly it looks like the majority of posters are somewhere in their 20s. Myself, I'm going to be 40 next month, and currently waiting on a birthday doll. I started my bjd collection 5 years ago, when I bought my first bjd as a birthday present for my 35th. My daughter has a bjd collection as well (she started when she was 13 and I let her choose the free event tiny that came with my second SD) and she will turn 18 this year.

    5. I'm 23 and getting my first this year as well. I got really into fashion dolls (Monster High mostly) about three years ago but I've always had an interest in the art of BJDs and such, although I was never a doll kid as a child.

    9. I'm 34 and I started the hobby when I was 33 (not very long ago). I have liked BJDs for YEARS, but never wanted to spend so much for a doll. I finally splurged recently and I have no regrets!

    10. Im 24! My closest friend in the hobby is 30 :> We've been into them for the longest time but sorta somehow never wanted to get into it alone, then we both got our first ones in the same week of each other XD

    12. I'm 21, turning 22 on July 30th :) I have been wanting a doll for about two years, and have a modest Monster High and others collection. My Evelyn by Mystic Kids has been ordered, and I'm excited about that!
       
    13. 19, turning 20 in December. I've been into BJD dolls since I saw a let's play of Cheritz's Nameless, I've been obsessed.
       
    14. I first got into BJDs when I was a teenager and got my first BJD when I was 21. I also had a bunch of Pullips too. Somehow life got in the way and I've been away from this hobby for almost 10yrs! Now I just ordered two BJDs and got my Pullips back. I'm gonna be 32 this yr, so glad to l to be back!

    15. I'm 20, Though I'm excited for when I turn 21 and my current financial situation improves so I can spoil my dolls more!
       
    16. I’m just getting into the hobby now at 27, after first discovering about it in middle school and then forgetting about it because I was a broke middle schooler.

    17. I just turned 23! I got into the hobby when I was about 13 and I'm finally able to start saving for my first doll :)
       
    18. 25, got into the hobby earlier this year at 24!

      I'm glad there are plenty of older people (Older than me, I mean) in the hobby... makes me feel less silly about being an adult who is this into dolls.
       
    19. I'm 28! Kind of vaguely knew of the existence of BJDs prior to this year, but not resin ones, and started getting interested when following a MH faceup artist online. Not even a fan of MH, just was fascinated by how beautiful little exaggerated human forms could become lol! As an artist (major in college was studio art), my focus was always the human figure, so I think my new hobby suits me perfectly.
