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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

Local BJD community

    1. My state (AZ) did have a community but I took a long hiatus so I have no idea if there is still an active community. It's also hard to organize a meet up here because a lot of the owners I used to know lived in the smaller towns and it was far for them. Plus it's hard to find a place where you can host a meet up unless you can get everyone to agree to chip in for the rental space.

    2. I deal with huge amounts of social anxiety and am incredibly awkward in person, and frankly, don’t leave the house much, so I prefer all of my friendships to be online, BJD or otherwise. I know I’m in the severe minority feeling that way, though. :sweat

    3. It's weird. My local community isn't super active which is a shame because there is a lot of us.

    4. @Fuailei I live in Pennsylvania as well! It's too bad that there aren't any official meetup groups here that I know of. I'd kind of like to start one up once that's an option again. I've also been tossing around the idea of starting a local BJD discord for online meets in the meantime, possibly.

    5. @AceofPancakes I’d love that. Even if we can’t meet irl it’d still be great to do virtual meets. I am on discord as well!

    6. There’s a few people out here I know for sure are into the hobby but they just don’t talk about it as much. When we had our conventions, they had BJD clothes, accessories and etc but the way my state is set up, I think people aren’t that comfortable openly talking about their habits. I have one awesome friend so her and I definitely need to talk more! There’s a certain area you have to get to go find people and it’s game but it’s been hard and at this point i don’t know if I’ll ever have real life bjd friends :(
