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. lol I don't actually have this problem... I learned fast "never say never".... fate takes that as a direct challenge (and will always win)

      my thing is "I won't do it YET"... and the tug of war is to see how close I can keep my 'time lines' ;p

      Do it now? or Do it later? (now wins a lot of the time... but not always ;p)
       
    2. When I first got into the hobby, I told myself I'd only get at most 2 MSD-sized dolls since I figured that would the right size for me... Now I have way more than that and of different sizes... orz
       
    3. I was quite sure I would NEVER buy any "pet dolls". Too expensive and not for me... Haha. I'm in love with my Doll-chateau Russell xD
       
    4. I said I would never buy female dolls and I collected strictly male dolls for over four years. Then I got one of my grail dolls, which is a female, and fell in love. Never say never I guess. :)
       
    5. One more; Never get a doll taller than 70 cm. With Soom Sphaler feet, this also now goes overboard...ah well, but I am pretty sure I can keep the "no doll smaller than 30 cm"...
       
    6. I told myself one thing when I started buying dolls: I cannot own more than seven dolls, because I do not want to be one of "those" crazy doll people.
      It's only been a year, but between my own buying and gifts from my family (I was very fortunate this year!) I now have thirteen BJDs (and doesn't that include floating heads!). What I learned is that "those" doll people was just a misconception. I'm proud of my collection, and I wouldn't get rid of a single doll.

    7. I said I'd never get Soom'd. Sure, I adore a lot of their sculpts, but none of them really "clicked" with me...that is, until I stumbled upon a handsome cream white Arkose in the Marketplace! Now, his layaway's all paid off, and he'll be on his way home soon! :D
       
    8. I wasn't going to order any fantasy-style small creatures. I have 2 now and I want 3 more :lol:
       
    9. Avoid SD dolls. I first when larger than a MSD with a 74cm boy and he was too large and I sold him. Now I've been sucked back in and I'm waiting on a boy in the true SD size range.
       
    10. When I owned a Soom Faery Legend Asis, I loved her, but found her too small and very difficult to find clothing and such for. So when I sold her to a friend I was sure I wouldn't buy a mature doll so tiny again. And then Soom released the black skinned rainbow faery. And I didn't even really hesitate. It's like they made a doll for me, I have a thing for rainbows and I usually pair them with black and to top that off, she looks just like a roleplay character I've had in my head for ages. So yes, I'll have a mature tiny again. :P
       
    11. I didn't think I would buy more than one. whoops!
       
    12. I said I wouldn't buy an SD sized doll. I did it and I love Amiga.

      I said I wouldn't buy a boy doll. I did it and boo, so I'm rehoming him.

      I said I wouldn't buy a strung doll. I have two and love how huggable they are.
       
    13. Only yesterday I told myself "No more dolls before I Ash her Hannibal Payne".
      And now I'm working to get Dracula on layaway and getting ready for Jack the Ripper
       
    14. I thought that I will never buy Resinsoul doll, but I've got Lan and glad for. I also thought that hybrids is not my theme, I was naive ))
       
    15. No more shoes for the dolls, but I can't stop buying them! Haha I love getting them shoes.
       
    16. I said I'd never get an SD doll. I now have two. Well... more like I bought one several years ago and he demanded a girlfriend since he was lonely.

      I said I'd never get a tiny. I now own four, one Puki and three YOSDs. The puki was a gift several years ago but I really have no excuse for the YOSDs.

      I said I wasn't going to buy any dolls last year. See: 3 YOSDs. It's all Luts' fault... they need to stop making such darn cute molds!

      Yeah... I need to stop saying stuff. 'Cause I always seem to be wrong...
       
    17. I told myself that I didn't need another boy and that I needed a girl to practice making dresses. Well, that didn't happen. For Christmas I ordered another boy. Maybe I'll get a girl next time I order.
       
    18. Said I'd never get any other dolls. Just the one I wanted. Now, I don't have that one anymore, and I have a few dolls I never thought I'd own! XD
      I also said I'd never get floating heads. Somehow, this year alone I've accumulated four of them (three MSD and one SD).
      I also said I'd only ever own tinies. I now have two tinies, a YoSD, a MSD, and a SD.

      My mind is constantly changing in this hobby. xD
       
    19. I promised I'd only have the two MSDs and now another one is on his way.I also said I wouldn't spend over 600 on another doll. What ya gonna do when your final grail is a LE10 and there is only 2 left. Yeesh.
       
    20. Buy a Pullip.

      End up with over 50 Pullips.

      Buy a BJD.

      ...oh dear, I'm doomed, aren't I? :...(
