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.

    8. I am 40 years old. As I can remember I was surrounded by various dolls. The first BJD I bought about nine years ago. For a while I was quite passive in the doll hobby, but last year again my boy.

    10. I'm 19, and my parents graciously support my hobby. They've bought all of my dolls for me! We aren't well off, and we make use of the second-hand market and layaways, but I'm really lucky my parents are supportive. I've only owned my dolls for one year, but I've been interested in BJDs since I was 15.
       
    11. I'm 20 years old and got my first doll when I was 19. As I mentioned before, I discovered BJDs when I was 12 or 13, but I didn't really know anything about those magical dolls and they were waaay to expensive for me back then xD I spend the last two years with thinking about getting one or not and in the end it was my mom who bought me my first doll because she was so impressed by them ♥ I'm glad that she supports my kinda unusual hobby so much ow<
       
    12. I'm 25 ^^ I love that this community has such a diverse range of ages in it.

    13. 28, my first doll is on his way to me! Loved them for years though, but I finally have a good job to actively support the hobby.
       
    14. I am 47, and have been collecting BJDs for about ten years, but only seriously for the last three. With no human kids to worry about, and a supportive spouse, I can spend most of my disposable income on my dolls now. The furry kids (a dog and a cat) are kind of expensive, since we spoil them (including a weekly 'retail therapy' trip to a local pet store for our dog), and of course vet bills, but at least I don't have to worry about how to afford college for them. :)

    15. 19, but I've been interested in BJDs since I was 16. But thanks to our family's income being a bit more stable, and my mom knowing now that it's not just a phase, I managed to get a doll before I got a job. I think Ian's going to help me keep my sanity going through college, too...
       
    16. I just turned 24 in May and I'm waiting for my first doll to come ^_^ I've wanted one since I was a teenager, probably 13 or 14 years old, but couldn't afford one til now. I'm so excited!!!
       
    17. I'm 20 and waiting on my first two bjds in the mail!
      I've been admiring from afar for about 3 years now (mainly because I felt guilty spending so much money on something for myself) . But I've since decided that money shouldn't control what I do, I should spend the money I earn on things I want.
      And that's why I have a Fairyland Minifee Lucywen and Dreaming Doll Little Elva Airi in the mail lol
       
    18. mid to late 20s *shifty eyes*
       
    19. I'm 40.
