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. I am 54 years old & have played with dolls most of my life. I am currently waiting on my first tiny & can't hardly wait. I used to build miniatures when I was way younger but then life got in the way. After several years of creating AG things for my youngest granddaughter (9 yrs old) I decided I would like to get back into miniatures, I was surfing the web looking at idea, saw a bjd in a room diorama & caught the bug.

    4. ... My friend got me into this hobby when I had just turned 11 late 2013, I'm 13 now and have had my first doll for 3 years...
       
    5. I'm 21 but got my first doll when I was around 15/16 ~ I've had a little break from the hobby but think I'm ready to get my next doll now hahaha
       
    6. I'm 20, really new to this hobby, wish I can do it forever.
       
    7. I'm 31 years old with mental age 17 maybe haha Just started with my first bjd last month but I've been fascinated with dolls since I was a kid. I still own Sylvanian, Barbie and plushie dolls, collecting action figures from my favorite characters, and don't plan on stopping so soon :>

    8. I am 42 years old, male, got my first doll a year ago, a FeePle 65 Chloe from Fairyland, she's so elegant and beautiful. I also have a large collection of Fairies, Anime figures and Veronese figures
       
    9. I'm 28! Though I've been in the hobby for about 5 years--fairly quietly though. Also @TomDavy it's fantastic to see more men in the hobby!! I'm really excited you're so happy!
       
    10. Just turned 28-- I first noticed BJDs when I was about 13/14, but I only became serious about the hobby last December (2015). Waiting on my first two!

      I mostly collect vinyl figurines, wasn't even all that interested in dolls otherwise before I realized I could finally afford a BJD. XD
       
    11. I'm 36, and I purchased mi first BJD ten years ago. ^_^
       
    12. I'm 24. Knew about bjd when I was like 11, and then seriously considered joining in 2014 fall, and then got a seconhand doll for the first time May 2015, and then I finally put a long-term order in March 2016 with purchase of all the faceup, sewing, clothing, etc accessories. Yep, I consider myself into the hobby now.
       
    13. I am 21, even if I still don't think of myself as such. I admired bjd's off and on since I was a teenager and only got my first one recently.
       
    14. 24 years 6 months
       
    15. I'm 18 years old, I've been interested in ball jointed dolls since 2012, and got my first doll in January 2013.
       
    16. I was 13 when I got my first doll and will be turning 21 this coming August. I just got my second doll in January.
       
    17. I'm 15, and I've been interested in BJD's since I was like... 11 or 12, I believe? I got my first doll about a month after my 13th birthday, in August 2013.
       
    18. I'm 23 years old and I've been in and out of the hobby for at least 7 years. ^^
       
    19. I'm 31. I'll be 32 in June. I've been collecting dolls (mostly 1/12 dolls/miniatures) my whole life, but only recently discovered BJDs. I just took the plunge and ordered my first one a couple hours ago. I have a feeling this will now be a lifelong addiction if it goes anything like my other doll obsessions. Glad to see there are so many other people who believe you are never too old for dolls. Not sure how many people have noticed, but some kids these days never even play with dolls at all. They just get handed electronics and never use their imagination. Sad really. So I'm glad there are people like you all out there.
       
    20. I am 38 years old. I bought my first BJD in 2012 :)
