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'm 21, turning 22 this year and just put down an order for my very first doll. :)
       
    2. Age does not matter. i'm 52 and waiting for my very first BJD
       
    3. 26, you young whippersnappers :lol:
       
    4. 43 and you ca never be too old
       
    5. I'll be turning 20 this year, though I bought my first (and so far only because he was that expensive) doll while I was 18. I was only able to do that because I got lucky with a good job though, I doubt too many people get into the hobby at my age since it's so darn expensive.
       
    6. I feel like I am pretty young compared to the majority. I'm 16 and I found out about the hobby when I was 15. Though, I always felt I could relate to people older than me so I enjoy talking to people in their 20s, 30s+.
       
    7. No such thing as too old for something you love.
      im 24 and have been collecting dolls since i was 21.
      and not just bjd and blythes, i love my disney dolls too.
       
    8. I am 49 and have been in the hobby since shortly before I bought my first doll 3 years ago. I am very happily at an age where I have a bit of extra time and money to enjoy and not give a damn what anyone else thinks about what I do with either, LOL!:D

      I also think it's interesting that even some people within the hobby, here on this thread, have expressed surprise at the upper age range of some members. Age really is just a number, as you'll discover when you get there. :lol:
       
    9. I got into this hobby when I was about 18 or so. I always felt so young when reading about people who had been doing it forever.
       
    10. I will be 24 in July. If a hobby makes you happy, then you're never too old for it. You're also never too young for a hobby either! :)
       
    11. 19, turning 20 in October.
       
    12. I'm 47, got in to the hobby about one year and a half. :dance
       
    13. I would be 40 years old in November!
       
    14. Currently 17 yo.
       
    15. 22! Never too late to start :)
       
    16. I was 22 when I got my first BJD but it's been 2 wonderful years since ☺️
       
    17. I am 52. My granddaughters tell me I am to old for dolls lol. I just laugh and buy a new one! I told them it is sad they quit playing with dolls they are missing out.
       
    18. i am turning 22 in two months:dance ... i don't think i am ever going to be too old for this hobby ..... i love dolls and always will :)
       
    19. I'm turning 15 this year and am finally getting my first bjd but I feel like I'm too young to get one :( quite the opposite of what most people have been thinking actually :lol:
