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.

No more swappable genitals on Chinese BJDs?!

Jun 7, 2025

    1. My personal thoughts, following on my earlier post...

      One of the reasons I was originally attracted to BJDs (or Asian BJDs, as they were known when I was a newbie) was anatomical correctness - where else can I have a male doll who's anatomically correct but also not sexualised? I'm not into the optional aroused jj parts (I prefer the doll's junk to be sculpted onto the body), but I'd rather have those than this complete neutering. Also not against androgynous and sexless/'angel' bodies -- it's actually nice to see more of them nowadays -- but I want my male dolls to be fully male. What I am against is censorship in all media forms (it's one of my personal beliefs and values), and I'd hoped that this Chinese censorship crackdown over toys and figurines was just a momentary reaction and it would've blown over by now.

      I actually got so alarmed when the news broke back in June, that I fast-tracked buying one male body right away, and chose to buy another body secondhand that wasn't quite the right resin colour match, instead of wait for a preorder where I could get a more precise colour match, since I wasn't sure if the dollmaker would include jj parts by default. I still hope that I'm overreacting, but I'm quite dismayed to see those new male bodies, and I feel it doesn't bode well for anatomically correct males from Chinese dollmakers in the future. I hope dollmakers won't stop producing their existing male bodies that have private parts, but buying secondhand might be the way to go, to be sure of it.
