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.

      I discovered this dolls a year ago. I hope to get my first this year.
       
    3. I'm 29 and I've been interested in bjds for about 6 years but spent most of that time trying to convince myself that I didn't need one. I caved a few months ago and now I have 2 and I'm about to put one on layaway within the next week :)
       
    4. I'm 17 and I'm just now saving up for my first girl! I've wanted a BJD ever since I was 12 ( I'm glad I didn't get one at that age though lol) so I'm super excited! ^-^
       
    5. I am 21 going on 22~ Was around 16 when I first started the hobby. :)
       
    6. 20...but people think im 12 ;_;
       
    7. I'm 32 and got my first BJD 11 years ago ^_^
       
    8. I will be 21 in a few months, I got my first bjd when I was 18 o: I kind of got shoehorned into the hobby through lolita fashion and collecting Monster High dolls lmao.
       
    9. At the moment I feel round and about 300.
       
    10. iam 18 going 19 after couple of days lol getting old already </3 i have WATCHED videos of bjd for 4yrs but this year is my first in da Hobby :3
       
    11. I'm twenty years old currently and I'm going to turn twenty-one on June 22nd. I know my family is planning on buying me my first alcoholic drinks on my birthday. I received my first doll, Dikadoll 5A in Normal Pink on boy body, on December of 2013. I no longer have him though.
       
    12. I'm 25 now and got my first BJD 10 years ago as my 15th birthday/Christmas present.
       
    13. I'm 30 and I've been in this hobby for about 7 years.
       
    14. I'm 26 and I just recently got my very first doll!
       
    15. I'm 23, I just got into bjd's a year ago and I'm just now getting my second doll!
       
    16. I have read through a lot of these replies and was interested to see so many young people and first time doll owners. I am 64 and have owned BJD's for about 10 years. I always loved dolls but never was interested in collection them. Mine are for enjoyment and because I was an apparel designer in my work life then taught after that. It was when I started teaching I wanted an outlet for design and got my first doll. She was an Elfdoll Sooah.
       
    17. Does the DoA forum have polls? I don't think I've seen any. This would have been interesting to have a graph of -- how old you are now and how long you've been into BJDs (and perhaps dolls in general). Glancing through this thread the ages look fairly well spread out though.

    19. i am 36, just recently got into bjd. i've been collecting barbies for a while now. i have a few monster high dolls because of their mobility, face sculpt, and cost. so hi!

Im 19, turning 20 in another month, and I just purchased my first doll ^.^ I've had lots of vinyl collectibles, action figures, art dolls, and a pullip over the past few years though and first was interested in BJD's when I was about 17 though, finally decided to make my way in at the end of this year though hahah.
