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.

Things you said you wouldn't do but did anyway.

Nov 19, 2013

    1. I did this AND bought one from the marketplace!
      So I currently have one coming in the mail this week, and two on layaway!
       
    2. I have 3 dolls on layaway. How did this happen?! Tried to tell myself to avoid doll sites now until they're done...but I don't want to miss cute things!
       
    3. I'd told myself I'd never get into SD size dolls, and now I have a 65cm boy and a 58cm boy in my queue.
       
    4. I said I was never going to buy more than one doll. You can guess how well that went.
       
    5. 1. Never wanted to have more than two: I now have five and two artist dolls
      2. I will never own anthro dolls: I now have two, a fox and a kitty
      3. I will never own anything smaller than a YoSD: I now have a Pukifee Luna and a tan Pukifee Dony on the way
      4. I'll never spend more than $200 on a doll: Heh... yeah... Let's just say my Soom Keny wasn't exactly $200 :sweat
      5. I won't buy anymore, I can only trade for a new doll: Oops, Fairyland was having an event and I could get a Pukifee in tan? Guess I'll sell off one of my girls when I get home. Can't wait after all :lol:

      Yeah, I've definitely broken my own rules plenty of times. I really do want to stop getting dolls though and sell off my two YoSD girls. I've decided my girls will be Pukifees and I've got my two Soom boys. I dunno, I don't like having an uneven number of dolls, I feel like someone is being left out :/
       
    6. Everything said here makes lots of sense to me...lol. In fact, I have told myself most of these; I will not start bjds period...stick with vinyl....ROFL!! No Fantasy..hahaha....no tinies...now I have 5! No art dolls...one on layaway...etc, etc. I give up...They win!!! :)
       
    7. Haha, I also had a period of hujoos and obitsus where I tried to convince myself I would never get a bjd... WHOOPS.

      "I won't have floating heads." Yeah. Right.

      "I probably won't get into YOSDs." Three YOSDs later...

      "I'll only buy one doll a year." Ha. Hahaha.
       
    8. I said I wouldn't ever buy a girl doll. I have no idea why I said that but I already preordered a lovely girl and I can't wait to get her.

      I said I would only stick to SDs. broke that one already with my preordered msd girl doll.

      I said that I wouldn't ever consider getting childlike dolls. I have a very childish looking, but lovely doll on my wishlist and can't wait to save up enough money to get him.
       
    9. I've given up with saying I will or won't do anything when it comes to the BJD hobby as I know for a fact that I'll set myself a rule and then instantly break it. I am in the process of saving for a doll I said I couldn't buy (despite falling in love the moment I saw them) as she wouldn't be easy to clothe, but now she's all I can think about!
       
    10. Things I said I wouldn't do but did:

      1. Small dolls like pukipukis are not cute or worth the price...now I have 2 puki pukis and I'm so head over heels for them!!! they are worth the price and so cute!!
      2. I will never like girl dolls....now I'm super excited for the MSD girl I'm waiting for!!! and one of my puki pukis is a girl and I adore her to death!! girl dolls are cute, fun and very interesting.
      3. I will never be able to do face ups...now I do the face ups for all my dolls and blushing, customization etc
      4. I will never buy SD dolls....now I have 3 SDs XD
      5. I will never get hybrids or floating heads...all my SDs and MSDs are hybrids and I have 4 floating heads at home...^^;

      Never say never!!

      Things I still say I won't do and I still haven't done...but who knows what the future might bring?:

      1. No fantasy dolls
      2. No fantasy skin colors
      3. No anthros or BJD pets
       
    11. Buy a yosd, when I first began the hobby I was convinced they were too childish looking and spending that much money on something so small would be a huge waste,but now I own two of them and love them to death > u <
       
    12. When I sold all the PukiPuki, I said I was not going to get any more tinies.....


      Let me introduce my Pukifee Multihead......
      [​IMG]
      I have 2 more heads waiting for bodies..... *sigh*
       
    13. I remember saying and writing 'No SDs'...
       
    14. Well, I once decided that I would get one doll (just a small one too) and be happy with that. But then I felt like the doll needed friends aaaand I've just given up telling myself "one more and that's it!"
       
    15. Haha me too! I bought one 1/6-sized girl and swore that she would be it. And now I found a 1/4-sized girl who would be perfect for her big sister...
       
    16. I said i would never brought Dolls.. and now i waiting for 3 dolls XD it´s so easy to say something like that
       
    17. Buy a girl doll. I swore up and down that I wouldn't get a girl, but I saw my Carina and knew I had to have her. The other thing I said I'd never do was have more than one. Here I am with 3 dolls and two floating heads.
       
    18. I won't buy more than 2-3 dolls.
      My newbie statement, famous last words among hobbyists. I actually made good on this for around 6 years, and maintained a 3 doll group. Then my 4th boy came as a birthday gift to myself after so long, and it all went downhill from there. B') now I am at lucky 13 and telling myself I am done again. I intend to be done for a while, but I know I likely won't be done forever.

      I won't buy a yo-sd or smaller.
      Since I don't care much for children or overly child-like yos. Then my MW junior happened, and I reasoned "because he doesn't look too young!". Then my Crobi t-line happened, and I just gave up because he is adorable.

      I won't ever buy a floating head.
      Didn't want to bother with hybrids, and I just don't like the idea of floating parts. Then K-doll ruined my plans 2fold by not only releasing a head I could not resist, but doing it right after I told myself my dollfamily was finally complete B(. gdi.
       
    19. when I started I didn't want dolls from only one company. Now I only seem to love the dolls from one company and anything except dolls from them seems to want to move on. :/
       
    20. so far I haven't had any real "I will never"'s... I did say I couldn't imagine why i'd ever have floating head... uh ya...
      I got my mitts on SoulDoll's Chiron centaur with 'fantasy' head... so while I was paying him off on LA I saw the 'human head' on the MP... I convinced myself having the fantasy AND human version didn't count ;)

      But then.... omg! an Iplehouse blank head only of the sculpt I want! :o ... I could NOT pass this up (150 vs 600 dollars in one lump no way I'd miss that)... besides... bodies for IH are not too hard to find when I need it.... oops :doh I guess that make one "OFFICIAL" floating head (remember the first one didn't count lol).

      I learned fast though... no more "i'll never"... cuz this hobby looooooves to make you a liar! lol
