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?

Feb 26, 2014

    1. I was just curious how old people are in this hobby. I'm going to be 26 this year which has come about all too soon!

      Do you think you can ever be too old for BJDs?
       
    2. I'm 26 too, but I'll be 27 next month.

      I also kind of thought doll collecting was typically considered to be an older woman's hobby, so I don't think you can get too old for it. XD
       
    3. Turning 25 in two weeks! I don't think I'll ever feel too old for this hobby. The crafting/creative side of it is too fun and there's always been creativity in my life.
       
    4. Good heavens! I just got started in this hobby a few months ago and I will turn 63 in May. Ladies, you will NEVER be too old to pursue what you love, and if that love is BJD's, go for it!
       
    5. I started this hobby last year August, 2013 , and now Im 25th years old :lol:
       
    6. I'm 45 going on 46 :) And I started collecting dolls when I was 37...
       
    7. I am 43 and have been collecting dolls since I was a kid but BJD's specifically since I was 35.
       
    8. I'm 33- 34 next month. I've just started collecting but I've wanted to do this for... 8 years now? I wish I had started sooner. ;)
       
    9. Just turned 32 here. And I don't believe in "too old" as a rule, so no, I don't think anyone can ever be too old for dolls ;)
       
    10. I totally agree. Your never too old to do what you love :D
       
    11. I love the age ranges here! :D
       
    12. Like Jany, I don't put much stock in "too old" nonsense. I'll turn 39 this year.
       
    13. Im 23, and have been in the hobby for 8 years :)
      Had a short "off time" but didnt completely forget the hobby, and kept my dolls (dont think i will ever be able to part with them!)

      Nice to see a wide age range :)
       
    14. I got my first doll last year, and I turn 26 tomorrow. ^^
       
    15. I started in the hobby 2 and a half years ago. I will be 22 in May. :)
       
    16. I started this hobby at 15 now im 17. You people are making me feel to young!
       
    17. I'm 40. ^_^

      One is NEVER too old to be happy with dolls! XD
       
    18. 25 years young, 26 in June. Waiting for my first doll :)
       
    19. 21 years old here! I really like how this hobby attracts people with lots of different ages!

      Maybe it would be fun to add a poll to this thread with different age-range options if possible? Might be interesting I think^^
       
    20. 28 turning 29 this year! I am also starting my girls in the hobby by bringing them to meets and letting them (well my oldest) hold my dolls.
