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.

Love at first sight?

Jun 13, 2014

    1. I fell in love with the Spiritdoll Lemongrass the moment I saw him without the company face up, which was the reason I had been hesitating. About ten minutes later I had ordered him.
       
    2. Feelin' it right now. As soon as I saw the pigeon-toed RealFee Faun with his cheeky face... Guh ;A; ~
       
    3. Oh yes! It took forever to find that perfect doll but once I knew -- I knew. I literally had a dream about her before realizing that I absolutely had to have her. All the apprehensions and nail biting price go out the window when you just know.
       
    4. Celine was my first BJD love! She's mine now :D Around the same time, I saw Dreaming Doll Airi and I adore her. I've fallen for many Iplehouse dolls, and quite a few MNFs, which were definitely love at first sight. I feel like if I have to convince myself to like the sculpt, I actually don't. So for me, I don't think I'll ever get a doll that didn't make me go "Wow, must have!!" at first glance.
       
    5. Man... when I saw Iplehouse's JID Sierra ... oh my gosh xD I flipped! Such a beauty.
       
    6. It was love at first sight when I saw someone at a convention with the Coloara Mlezzlir sculpt from B&G's The Old World line. I bought him 3 weeks later. I just started collecting a few months ago, but he's still my one and only doll.
       
    7. For myself, it was love at first sight when I saw a friend's Migidoll and after checking out their other sculpts, I fell in love with Migidoll Ell who I ordered right after I managed to save enough money. He is with me now! :aheartbea I totally understand the feeling! :D
       
    8. Oh gosh, Iplehouse's Sierra is another to add on my wishlist! Her face is beautiful! Gahhhhh so hard not to want them all.
       
    9. Oh yh!

      Luts Kid delf Ani. I literally saw her and had to make an OC based on her.
      She was the really 'love at first sight' bjd. Though as soon as i'd make her OC, after a few weeks I made some for all the other ones that I had spyed :) (7 in total)
       
    10. Certainly - many of my dolls. My IH Bichun, for sure. IH Mari, Dexter, Zera. Idealian 72 Hyperion. Volks Ryoma Sakamoto (cause how ELSE could I ever justify spending that kind of $$$ LOL). Soom Ignis :D LoongSoul Luo Yue. Elfdoll Lovely Rita. Soul Doll Onulhara (ok, I ACTUALLY am fond of the ACTOR he's the dead-ringer for...) And the list goes on....

      As far as dolls I DON'T have - IH Leonard. Totally regret not just getting him :(
       
    11. Well, I've seen a lot of dolls and they were semi-love at first sight, but I've never had the money to purchase one. Two weeks ago, I purchased my first doll, but I can't say that was love at first sight. I mean, I saw the doll and I thought it was cute, but I liked another doll from that company, I was pretty darn skeptical. I eventually drifted away from that company to look at other dolls. I finally went back and tried to figure which doll would look better. I was looking at the company pictures only. One day, I googled some out of the company pictures and I instantly fell in love with the doll I purchased. I never stopped looking at those pictures. I absolutely adored them.
       

    12. I couldn't handle it! I had to have her immediately! I bought her asap the following day and then saw owner photos of her on facebook. Gosh she is soooooo gorgeous. The hands were so beautiful. I made the right decision. I am definitely going to love her.
       
    13. My first love was a Minifee Mirwen but that was when I barely knew of any companies other than Fairyland. My current love is a Luts Terra. I knew from first glance that he would perfectly embody the character I have in mind for my first doll, plus he's so beautiful.
       
    14. my first love was a UNOA
      i love her and got her new
      as a newbie no idea how to restring, i sold her back in market...
      it was until like 8yrs after i got into bjds for real
      in love with latis and kikipop which require no restring at first and now body makeup

      i m happy with them
       
    15. Peakswood's Hucky - Christmas version was my love at first sight. I just love everything on him, especially when he's in Dollheart outfits. However, it was too late to have him since he is no longer available for order and I couldn't find anyone selling him up til now ;_; !!!

    16. SpiritDoll Pyrus was "the one" the minute I saw him, to my wallet's dismay LOL

    17. I think it might have been each of my grails I got over the years (but later got bored with lol xD)

      I'm not sure, but i think Crobi Lance was such a doll that I fell for, but then fell out, when got into more realistic sculpts. Nowadays, when back to liking dolly, chubby and big-eyed faces - I'm back into Lance :)
       
    18. Yes!! I immediately fell in love with Alaska when I first seen her!! <3

    20. The first one I really fell hard for and knew I had to pre order him was a Ringdoll Carlos LE. At the time I had never spent that much on a doll but I couldn't stop looking at the promo pics. The wait was so long and I was so nervous that something could go wrong with my order. I was so relieved when he finally arrived.
