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.

    2. I was around 22 or so when I first discovered BJDs. Was still in school at that time, but I had saved up enough to get my first doll the next year. :)

    9. I was researching the hobby a bit before I signed up for doa, about 10 years ago, when I was 27. Found out about bjds via deviant art and after a few months of research and saving, bought my first doll and signed up here. No regrets! :)

    10. i only started a little while ago although i wanted to get started around 16 i didn't get to until recently i was 22 years old when i bought my first doll i feel like thats a pretty good age although i with i had started earlier so i wouldn't go over board with my purchases.

    11. I was 27 when I received my first doll but I first found out about them when I was around 14. It's only a little more than a year since I started this hobby. Though this is a very expensive hobby, I'm glad I started. I'm happy just looking at them sit on the shelf :)
