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 31 will be turning 32 at the end of April :) (I got my Mom into the hobby as well) I don't think there is an age limitation on owning/playing with dolls. As far as I'm concerned all that matters is that you are happy and have fun!
       
    2. 53 going on 88 - doll collecting can be for anyone, no matter what age. I do agree that ABJD's due to the high costs can seem to be for older gals and guys; but, if you can afford it; anyone at any age can have fun with this hobby. Having this special forum to come to everyday and enjoy it is wonderful and I feel blessed to have the ability to experience this unique hobby and share it with many others around the world. Thank you DoA!

    3. to me 25. Good age to start playing in a doll :) In the childhood only cars)
      It seems to me, in ripened age it is possible to be engaged BJD as they demand the careful attitude towards.
       
    4. 15 turning 16 in July. I think it's silly when people put 'age' limits on hobbies it's like trying to genderize everything.
       
    5. Turning 50 in september...I've starting this hobby late but there are no age limit to enjoy it !
       
    6. im 25 and i will never be to old to play with any dolls
       
    7. 24 here, but I'm a doll collector for life. There's never "too old" for dolls.
       
    8. I'll be fifteen this year and got into the hobby at thirteen. I feel so young :0
       
    9. 35 years for me this year and in the hobby for only 4 years ...
       
    10. 21. I'm pretty sure I'll be in this hobby for life since I'm too attached to my dolls to sell any of them.
       
    11. I'm 23, but have wanted a doll since I was about 14. So no, I don't think you can ever be too old for dolls!
       
    12. I am 41, I am glad to know I am never old. :)
       
    13. 49 and holding. The dolls make me happy and young!
       
    14. Don't worry--not upset. The curiosity about age is one thing, but the "too old to play with dolls" is a little provocative since it does seem like a question about certain ages being good or bad or whatever. But I didn't think you meant to be offensive.

      I do still think a poll would be more informative about finding out about how old everyone is, though. :)
       
    15. Im turning 22 this month. And no, I don't think anyone will be too old for BJDs. Even my 46 year old mom is planning on getting one for herself.
       
    16. I'm 26 years old. I am fond of dolls for two years and do not intend to stay)
       
    17. Since i was very young i've always played with dolls. Well, i never really PLAYED with them, i rather just dress them up and make them look pretty haha. when i was older, i think i was 12, i started collecting porcelain dolls. Now i am 23 and I am in love with BJD xD this will never end ahah
       
    18. I just turned 15 not long ago! I started collecting different types of dolls ~2-3 years ago. ^^
       
    19. I'm 42... I noticed as I was reading over the responses that there are only a handful of folks in their 30's and 40's, and I wonder if the age range tends to be more <30 and 50+ due to the pressures of kids... I have three and I know it's sometimes hard to find time to work on my dolls (I have two that need faceups right now).
       
    20. Will turn 27 this year, seems to be quite a common age here :) ..A lot of variety age vise with in the hobby tho..
