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. @aihre Wow, what a cool story! Now I'm imagining what that body would tell you about all its travels. So cool you made a friend in the Chinese side of the hobby through it. I've always been fascinated how different the experience must be when you collect and the companies/casters are in your same country.

    2. Thanks! Well, this is what I know...
      This ANS69 body was from a 2022 release that was shipped to buyers in 2023. He was bought as a full doll from ANS, and at some point (before Guo) the head was split from the body, and the body sold on by itself. Also at some point, he had wiring and sueding done on him -- a good job, but not to my liking, so I've overhauled it with my own maintenance. :XD: But 5 prior owners in 4 years is a fast turnover pace... I wonder why they didn't want to keep him... :sweat I'm quite happy with my hybrid boy, so I hope to give him a home for a much longer time. ^^

      I've chatted a bit with Guo, yeah it's been fascinating to hear tidbits from how she enjoys the hobby and her dolls, and put it together with what I see and read on Chinese soc med. I think the Chinese BJD community is like an order of magnitude more intense than what I experience in the English-facing BJD community. The number of BJD enthusiasts, the creativity, innovation, calibre and supply of BJD goods... the demand for BJD goods, the competition, exacting standards, drama, criticism. It's been really fascinating for me to watch.

    3. I once owned a Dollfie Dream Mikuru who I bought secondhand and loved, however I sold her head way back when (probably to fund another doll purchase). I missed having her and my friend sold me his Mikuru head which was so nice! We are friends both in and out of dolls so it’s like Mikuru has stayed in the group which is really nice :)

      Also, this is more of a sad story, but I bought my Volks Mimi secondhand (not via estate sale) and her box had an estate auction sticker on it which made me wonder what had happened to her previous owner. I was able to find the original auction lot and saw that there were other Volks dolls in it. I tried to look for previous DoA profiles with those specific dolls and couldn’t find it. Regardless, Mimi is well taken care of by me now :)

    4. Not the most interesting doll story, but one I like.

      I was part of a BJD group when I lived in Maryland, and we would meet up and occasionally, some of us would buy/sell accessories. One woman was selling lots of eyes and wigs and...some tiny dolls? I fell in love with one and bought her, no questions asked.

      She was a Tiny20 Delf--a size that was only made for a year or two, a decade before I made the purchase. So she's special!

    6. I saw someone selling Realfee Ena and Rian on a BJD sales group on Facebook. I got to talking with that person and mentioned I would love a feeple60 Sionna. She happened to have it and wanted to sell. Was an amazing coincidence.
