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. Second hand BJD stories are the best, it's amazing how sometimes the perfect doll for you will find it's way home.

      As is pretty obvious from a look at my doll profiles, I love VOLKS F-01 (especially Megu) so when they finally released a SwD one I knew I wanted her but missed out on the original release. I was a bit upset about it but just figured I'd be able to get one some other time. A while after I'd stopped actively trying to hunt her down as her fullset prices were crazy but a friend of mine happened to come across a SwD Megu head being sold only with the eyes, snagged it and sent it to me as a surprise gift. Once she came in I realized I didn't want her on the DearSD body and head swapping her onto my DearSD Megu body confirmed it. Fast forward nearly a year to the day that her head arrived someone on DoA messaged me about splitting an SDGr Yu Morisawa (she wanted to put the head on a DearSD body and thus had no need for the SDGr one). I jumped at the chance and I absolutely love this girl on that body. The story continues with her as I was having trouble finding the perfect red wig when (another year later) another DoA member jumped to the rescue and this girl is absolutely perfect now. Slowly but surely she came together thanks to the awesome people in this community:whee:

      Now for Ian.
      A friend of mine was browsing Y!A when she saw a crazy, low-priced auction for a VOLKS Ian fullset with only 2 days left and no bids. I had never really paid too much attention to Ian as she's so rare and hardly ever comes up on the market but something about this one spoke to me and I bid on her. Due to work issues I missed the end of the auction and thus was outbid at the last minute for a mere 2000円...and after that the hunt for Ian was on!
      She came home just this month thanks to a lovely DoA member who not only reached out to my original WTB but reached out to me again nearly a year later (after things settled down for me).
      I'm a least the third owner of this Ian (would love to know more about her travels) and am so glad that out of the only 300 of her ever made that one found her forever home with me.

    3. My Notdoll Lucy ! I bought her from a lady on a forum in 2012, and since we were going to the same doll salon, I got her directly in person and was able to chat with her, she was lovely !
      She had included extra wigs and eyes, and has knitted very cute clothes for her, I was overjoyed
      Besides, that doll was my first tiny and I fell in love with that smol bean <3
