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.

What is the most important factor for you when buying a doll?

Jan 3, 2017

    1. As experience shows, the main factor - instant feeling 'I want it!!'
      I must spend with this idea a couple of days and if don't change my mind - this is the doll of my choice.
      Sure I analyze some factors (including my financial opportunities))), but mostly solution depends on this feeling. I've seen a lot of dolls that combine almost all my prefferables, but... they didn't keep my thoughts around them for a long time.
       
    2. It’s only my own inner feeling about particular doll.
      I can say, that I’m impulsive buyer, but I also can evaluate soberly , if I’m really need this doll or it’s just whim.
      In the begging I was thinking that size is important to me, and I really thought I’ll never ever buy SD format or never buy male doll..
      But never say never and now I’m waiting for SD boy.
       
    3. My main factor is what do I want them for?
      Or
      [What is the purpose of having this doll? ]

      Do I have any photo project that need this doll? Do I have any character for this doll? Do I need this doll for... etc...etc...

      If they are just pretty but I can't answer the above question then "No". And that's it.
