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 were you when you got into the doll hobby?

Jul 23, 2018

    1. I found out about bjds in 2007 when I was 19 and managed to buy a doll that same year. My first doll was an Angel of Dream msd, I was putting myself through college and they were one of the cheaper options available, but I loved her and it was a slippery slope from there! I’m 34 now and still collecting!
       
    2. I'm new to the hobby and 26 :...( I knew about them from deviantart as a kid but I grew up poor so I think I only seriously considered it once I had disposable income as an adult!
       
    3. I got into the hobby about 17. :XD:
       
    4. I've been into action figures and 1/6 G.I. Joe type figures since I was probably 14 or 15. I collected quite a few of them since, but I didn't get my first BJD until I was 25 years old.
