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. Thought I was going to love huge 70cm+ dolls when I first saw DC Mephisto, and Dollfie Dreams. Now I'm almost glad I could never afford dolls in my teens because 70cm is just too much and too mature looking for my liking, and anime dolls are out because I haven't watched anime since like 2015. Could *maybe* be convinced to customize a small one to be a Miku though someday.

    2. I thought I'd like tiny dolls best and super realistic sculpts only.

      Turns out I like 1:4 and 1:3 the best, adore certain fantasy sculpts, and I can't bond with realistic/mature sculpts unless they have soft/cute features. Trial and error, and had to sell some dolls

    3. I started the hobby with interest in slim minis, but ive found myself playing with my smaller 1/12 scales more. Even though I adore my larger dolls, I can't see their quantity approaching that of my small dolls. I'm even considering branching into 1/6 minis even though I was trying to avoid too many scales xD

    4. When I first started out, I thought I would only like human dolls with realistic skin tones - I still do, but my tastes have gone towards the strange and unusual now. I've got a vampire w/ green skin, a head with tentacles coming out of his mouth and eye, and a cyclops octo cat coming home soon-ish. Definitely didn't expect this of me last year :lol:

    5. I recently got a DreamValley Esther
      I was so incredibly stoked because I love birds and harpies and she is gorgeous

      I still love looking at her but oh my gosh I HATE playing with her
      Every time her wings touch anything I feel nervous and shes not fun to handle

    6. I thought I’d want a minifee. I joined the doll hobby in the early 2010s with monster high customizing and when minifees were all the rage. I was a teen at the time without BJD money. I remembered loving all the minifees on Instagram at the time. Instead I’ve now found a love for FID adjacent type dolls and similar type hybrids that are a lot more mature and especially love curvier girls! I have an Impldoll Anya head on a milk cap body which is pretty much the definition of my type of dolls. I’m so excited to see more brands coming out with more mature 1/4 scale girls with smaller heads like Impldoll (Anya and Carlee specifically from my collection) and some of the newer options from the xagadoll blue obsidian line ( I love my liuli). My love falls somewhere between msd and fid territory
