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 22, and I'll be 23 late next month c:
      I got my first doll... hmm... late June? I was interested in them for awhile, but I was working on selling off my pullip collection to get the funds needed :'D I remember seeing them when I was much younger, probably about 12-14 years old, on Deviantart (and then later on Junkyspot since I was interested in getting obitsu stuff and came across their website) but when I had a vague idea of the cost it pretty much drove me away lol. It's a lot easier to get money now, though, in comparison so it's not quite as daunting, ahaha!

    4. 43, started last year. I'd like to keep my collection smaller (4 currently, but 2 are off-topic). It is nice to be old enough to have a little money for the hobby.

    7. I’m 47 and started collecting bjd’s five years ago- I have always loved dolls and miniatures though!

    8. I'm 25.
      I saw my first doll on Deviantart when I was 16. I saved up and bought one not long after.
      It's starting to be kind of a nostalgia thing for me now. Like, I can't seem to fall in love with new dolls. I keep going back to the same sculpts that I was obsessed with as a teenager.

    9. I'm currently 22 years old (will be 23 in February! Where are all my February babies at?) I've also been interested in BJD for years but only had the money and time to invest in it. Nice to meet you guys!

    10. I am 25 and I have been in the hobby for 3 or 4 years :) And I have a lot of plans involving dolls for the future :)

    12. I'm going to be 60 this year. I got my first dollfriend about three year's ago, after being introduced to the life of BJD's a couple of year's earlier. This saying from Jamie Tobias Neely says it best for me, “When the Japanese give a doll in friendship, it is bestowed with great meaning and honor… Even adults speak about dolls as though they were almost human. A doll is not simply stored in a box. She sleeps waiting for someone to wake her.”

      It's more like BJDs have awakened me. They are a unique blend of resin and soul.

    13. I'm 54. I got interested in BJDs about 7 years ago and got my first doll some 6 months later.
      However, I've been collecting dolls of various types and sizes all my life. (Literally. I got my first vinyl doll at birth and by the time I was 12 and 'too old' for dolls I probably had about 50 or 60.)
      At 15 or 16 I decided I was going to 'collect' Barbie dolls, and a few years later I discovered dollhouses.

    14. I feel like such a baby compared to most of the people I've seen in this thread. :shudder:roll:
      I turned 19 in September and have been collecting various dolls for as long as I can remember. Always loved ones that had more posing abilities and when I stumbled across some bjd photography almost a year ago, that was it for me. It sucked me right in and now I'm always thinking about all things doll related. A girl I talked to on here called it "dollpox". Like I have dollpox for sure if that's a thing. Lolololol.

    15. Oh goodness, I’m 37. Been in the bjd hobby since 2008, got my first bjd toward the beginning of ‘09. My interest has waxed and waned in cycles over the years, going from times being intensely focused on my dolls to times where they remain untouched for weeks on end. Kind of depends what’s going on at work and in life. Despite all my other hobbies and passions, bjds still remain one of my favorites and they’re displayed on my dresser so I can see them everyday. :)

Congratz on getting your first bjd! May we share this newcomer excitement togather!
       
      #976 Kaygabrielart, Dec 31, 2017
    17. 29! Have been collecting other dolls seriously since 23. Just started with BJD even though I've known about them for almost 10 years now!

    19. I turned 30 just a week ago and I've been here for 11 years ^^;
       
      #979 ZiMaze, Dec 31, 2017
    20. That is a lovely saying. I’ve had other dolls in the past ( mostly fashion dolls). And while I have had favorites, they were still items or toys. I now understand bonding with my bjd’s and they are much more “real” to me.
