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.

    1. 12 years in the hobby and I've never...
      - bought a doll second hand
      - sold a doll
      - bought a doll with a fullset
      - done an intentional hybrid (as in bought a head/body with the intention of pairing it up with another company's - I've only ended up with one as a happy accident)
      - commissioned a custom faceup
      - wired a doll
      - went to a meetup (zero interest though, am a hermit crab :lol:)

    2. I've not been in the hobby for very long yet, barely 3 years, so I don't know how much I "qualify" to post here, but:

      - never made eyes (but I am somewhat interested, even though I have enough)
      - never restrung a doll, I doubt I will ever have the courage for that ...
      - never dyed a doll
      - never made shoes
      - never made clothes, although that has been on my agenda since the beginning
      - never bought a doll on layaway, I prefer to pay in full
      - never been to a meet-up or doll convention, I very much would like to change that

    3. Ooh fun!
      Never have I ever!
      I'm.... a semi-old-fart in this hobby, been around since 2009, and I've done a lot of stuff since I'm a crafty sort and that's how I enjoy the hobby.

      I've never commissioned a freelancer faceup. I just kinda went for it with learning to paint my own. I HAVE had factory paint put on one or two dolls.
      I've never used Layaway. Not that I can recall. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer to do it the other way.
      I... You know I don't think I have ever bought a doll as a Fullset. Ever! I have so much fun making my own doll stuff I tend to prefer that.

    4. I’ve never sent a head for a faceup because I was always a bit scared. But I’ve been thinking about it.

      • Restrung a doll. it will come one day
      • Never have I taken my dolls out of the house.
      • Owning dolls over 68cm. They are not too heavy, but they take so much space!..

      • Sold a doll. so fare all dolls have stayed with me :)
