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.

The relationship's over: Who gets the dolls?

Feb 20, 2010

    1. This is such a great topic. I recently bought my fiance a limited Volks Dollfie Dream (Mai) and I purchased my own. I'm not sure how I feel about us sharing dolls but then I think of it as a waste to have 2 of the same dolls. He was really excited about this one because she came from a video game, which happens to be his passion. I'm glad that he is starting to share my passon but who would keep the dolls if we ever did break up? He said that he would give them back but I'm noto sure I would want them back. I think he is still shy when we go to meet ups, but he does like to dress her up when we are at home. I have bought him outfits and pretty much anything he wanted so he didn't feel left out.
       
    2. I don't have any kind of relationship yet, but If I were to get married, and they were as interested in the dolls as I am, then knowing me and how bloody submissive I am, I'd probably let them take them and then cry my self to sleep for many nights to come.
       
    3. It sounds like a pretty bad situation to contemplate. I would think that it would be best if each person in a relationship would buy their own dolls. That way, if the relationship is ended, then each party would still keep their possessions (dolly or otherwise).

      Luckily for me, my husband has no interest in dolls.
       
    4. My hubby had ZERO interest as well until... Volks Mai came out. Then he was all gung-ho about them. I am going to custom make one for him for his birthday.

       
    5. My boyfriend isn't interested in my dolls at all, though he has acknowledged how much they're worth by offhandedly mentioning that if the house were to catch fire, he'd grab them and then grab our pets. He was kidding, but that's about as far as he messes with my hobby.

      I have to say I like it that way. We've been together a long time and I trust him a lot, but we still have our separate bank accounts and our stuff is clearly his and hers. On the off chance anything ever falls apart, we'll have clear-cut ways to divide our stuff and get goin'.

      Not that I plan on that happening anytime soon.
       
    6. I'd suggest a lawyer, but if you're not married and getting a divorce that might not be the easiest way to divide things. If you were only concerned about the retail value, you could calculate it and split the dolls accordingly. Personally, I would never mix funds with another person to avoid this problem altogether. But, hypothetically speaking, I would just take the dolls (and animals). At least then I know they're getting the proper care.
