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.

rant: BJD family planning

Sep 23, 2005

    1. Why of course...I was the same way. I wanted two girls and two men to go along with them. But because I am a bit picky about my boys I have ended up with more girls than planned and at this point I know that there is no stopping it x_x
       
    2. I wonder if this phenomenon is in any way related to what software developers call "creeping featurism"?

      It seems fairly common, all in all. I only ever expected to have Megumi and Miyae, but here I am, eight years later, and Meg and Miya sit on a shelf with the Doctor, Ashe and Belle Fontaine while Chae-ri takes up the bulk of my doll attention and resources. That was definitely not in the plan.
       
    3. my doll family was really supposed to only include one child, a Dikadoll LingRi. She sold, however and it broke my heart, but i couldnt let go of her character, so i was striving for a doll that matched her. While looking for a suitable Celeste, i found a boy cherry luts doll and i decided she needed a bf when i could afford one. At this point i disliked tinies, i only liked MSD. but then i found one that was 25cm that i just LOVED and i decided Celeste has a kid sister. So the family ended up with Celeste, her sister Dawn and her bf Dominik. And then Felicity showed up, that little brat. She told me that she was from Celeste's highschool and that i needed to adopt her. How can I say no? So now, if i can get the money by like monday Felicity will be mine, Celeste is a floating head, and Dominik and Dawn are waiting to be adopted
       
    4. I learned to ride the big wave of uncertainty in this hobby. New dolls and items are coming out all the time and my doll family is a continuous state of flux because of this.
       
    5. Yes! I started with one. ONE! A cute little BBB Tony. He was 10 years old..... then he started telling me he needed his older brother... then said brother started telling me about his band.... then they started... and then..... and then.........

      Now, with 10 at home, 5 as floating heads in progress or on layaway, and 2 more planned, I was done!

      Then my friend gave me a head I had really liked for xmas... and I found a killer deal in the MP and just HAD to do it.... and one of these new characters has a kid so that's yet another.....

      So... yeah.... I'm not saying I'm done ever again.>.>
       
    6. I only plan on having two dolls [I have one now]. But I keep finding beautiful dolls at good prices so I'm sure I'll get more than two. If anything, I'll get floating heads to save money.
       
    7. There is a good answer to our collections slightly overwhelming the appartment: moving to a bigger one!
       
    8. Geez. I started in 2006 planning on having just Yuki (DZ Megi) and Toshi (DZ Shuang) and then saw the Elfdoll Red who had to be, just HAD to be, Kenshin. Then I found the perfect Zelgadis. It was supposed to stop there.

      HA. HA. HA.
       
    9. Yes! This absolutely applies to me too. D:
      First I had Quinn and then I thought "Okay, I'll get Wren, Blake and Jasper then I'm done! Four dolls. Yep, that's enough".
      And I did get Jasper but then I got distracted from my original plan and bought Jehn and Scout... Now I still want Wren and Blake but I also want Doe, Daisy Bell, Drew, Oskar and Stevie! And then there are the ones I think I might get or who want to creep into my storyline somehow... It's basically endless. Dx
       
    10. I'd initially planned for just 2 dolls. I now have 15 BJD's, 1 OT Obitsu and a floating head in-house and a tiny and an MSD that should be arriving at my house any day now.

      In addition to the dolls I have, there are also 10 other characters I know the sculpt for (although I have no intention to bring them home at this point) and another 2 that would fall under the totally awesome-but-never-going-to-happen list (they are limited/discontinued dolls).

      Plans... let me show you how to break them *snorts*.
       
    11. I planned to just have two... then a house-elf... then... HORDE! Sigh... But the hobby makes me so happy, so who cares.
       
    12. Im looking at getting a Limhwa girl into the family but do they look ok with others?? Does anyone have any iplehouse or Minifees they could take a comparison photo with please:)
       
    13. Yeeeeees, this is happening to me all the time! I have a good plan now, but this is about the 50th revision. D:

      But it's better for me to have a plan, because without one, I would buy every pretty doll I find D:
