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.

If you could go back in time to when you first started with bjds...

    1. What would you warn your past self about?

      I'd also say, buy at least three different Illusion spirit SD and one MSD before the company disappeared, because you're going to regret the ones you didn't get and it's okay, in the long run you're not going to save any more money, so don't sweat that, above all get that yellow skinned IS Muka because he's going to be your favourite. And MORE importantly, don't pay ANY attention to what companies or styles that are popular generally in the hobby, go with what YOU want, and what you WANT alone.

      What would you tell your past self to make absolutely sure to do?

      I would say, start off with purchasing MSDs this time, and plan out exactly what you want to do with your MSD dolls carefully, and then get into the SD 60cm range. Hold off on getting 70cm dolls for at least 2 years to work out exactly what you want to do with them, or even if you really want them because they are a pain to clothe and store. Stick with Ringdoll with the larger dolls, and get at least 2 Bluefairies for the MSDs, you can't go wrong with them.
