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. YES!! I'm experiencing that now for the erm...... .7th time XD rofl but this one is the only doll I really stalk staring at about every 10 mins ^-^;;
      Peakswoods - Kisha <3
       
    2. I tend to end up not bonding with the dolls I love at first sight! Perhaps I build them up too much in the wait and then get disappointed when I finally have them. The biggest example was iple Bianca. I loved everything about her first full set and bought every single option. When I got her though I realized that she was just too realistic for me, and it left me feeling a little cold. I tend to fall in love with dolls that don't catch me eye at first, but something makes me keep coming back to look at them because something about them stands out, and very gradually I decide I must have it. Or, I pass on a doll and then realize that I actually really wanted it, such as Soom Sueve and Nodia! Then it becomes a years long search to get them, but that's part of the fun as well :)
       
    3. Feldspar, a sculpt by a French artist, snatched my heart the second I saw it. I want one so badly.
       
    4. I have had that connection with some dolls. Most recently it was for the Dollzone Wendy. I loved her but never ordered her during the preorder. Finally after months of regret she was in stock at Alice's Collection and I snapped her up. Hopefully, I won't make that mistake again.
       
    5. Bear from Little Monica. I was actually wanting my first order to be an SD, but then I saw his face and did not hesitate. I can't wait for him to get here!
       
    6. Oh yah I fell in love with DOD Homme Ducan as soon as I saw him and I cant wait to bring him home one day.
       
    7. Yes! For the two dolls I have now as soon as I saw them I needed to get them! And now to the one that should be coming in tomorrow. I kept trying to tell myself I didn't need it... But. :D I was hooked.
       
    8. Twice: the first was Illusion Spirit Baitu, and I'm still waffling about trying to buy him. I was put off by the fact that he's SD, which seems huge, but he's just so lovely.

      the second was Only Doll BiYan and I stared at her pictures for a good ten minutes and then the next thing I new I was running for my wallet to put her on layaway! She arrived recently and I am so in love :aheartbea
       
    9. For some reason, I had been looking at lots of BJDs before finally making the decision to buy Nila. The first time that I saw her official photos I immediately knew I wanted her, and since I had the funds to buy her, I did. Haha, I guess it isn't that unlikely that I'll end up doing something similar in the future. :lol:
       
    10. Both of the dolls I'm considering getting right now have been love at first sight. Joelle D. from souldoll is probably the only doll to take my breath away and make me want to get him. The only problem is, owner pictures make me cringe, but the factory faceup makes my heart go crazy and his little smirk is just so perfect. I love that doll with all my heart I swear.
       
    11. When I first saw the doll I'm intending to buy, I knew she was "the one". I wanted her as soon as I saw her. I guess you can call that love at first site. :) I easily pictured her in my home, displayed prominently on my shelf. I also pictured myself playing with her, coming up with stories for her, and whatnot. I even came up with a name for her. Of course, I made sure to look up pictures of her from different angles online to see if I would indeed still love her. I'm glad to say that she's still my number one. Can't wait to order her!
       
    12. Definitely. Just experienced that a few days ago when I caught sight of a sale regarding Volks SDC Mina :D Happy to say that she is on her way home to me right now!
       
    13. Yeap, I definitely fall in love right after I saw it. And those love sick still exists... this is the reason I use almost all my cashes to dolls ;)...
       
    14. I've seen sculpts before and thought "oh that's cute" but then a couple days later, I can't stop thinking about it and must have!!
       
    15. My Delf Soony was totally love at first sight!:aheartbea

      I had always seen pictures of the sculpt around when I was just finding out about the hobby, and I just had the feeling that at some point I was going to end up with one of my own. I went through a really tough loss, my Mom passed. When this happened I felt that my grail (The Sculpt I become very attached to) would be named after her, and have tattoos for her. Which made her even more important. I finally came across one for sale and "Bam!" :aheartbea
       
    16. Dollzone's Joe and Floy, as well as FL PKF Pongpong. I knew I wanted them the moment I saw them, but it was a couple of years before they actually made it into my collection. I still love them. :apig:
       
    17. I've definitely experienced "love at first sight" with a lot of dolls, mostly the ones I see on tumblr that are styled impeccably. It's made me fall in love with several dolls that I aim to one day have, especially certain sculpts for my characters.
       
    18. The first time i saw Bluefairy's Shinyfairy Benjamin i knew i HAD to get him. The problem is that he is over my normal budget.
      :| So i'm gonna work my ass of to get him!:wiggle
       
    19. I have cruised BJDs for years but when I saw my Luts Clary I had to have her. She now has some BJD friends and I am sure there will be more.
       
    20. Oh definitely!
      My first doll SDgrB Kamimura Minoru was love at first sight.
      I know it's just the face up but that smile, oh that smile makes every single day of my life worthwhile.
      I didn't know much about BJDs at that time so when I found out that his sale was long ended, I was devastated.
      But I'm happy to found him now, I've been through thick and thin but when I hug him, it felt like all my troubles are washed away. :)
