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 your biggest fear concerning your dolls?

Oct 3, 2011

    1. My greatest doll fear is breaking something vital in Camui, because I will never be able to find an appropriately coloured replacement part for him, ever, because he's one of those first few wildly-differing shades of tan. 8')
       
    2. My biggest fear is losing them on a fire :/
       
    3. damaged custom faceup *_* and I'm just suffering from this lately after discovering a scratch on one of my fav dolls' faceup :( although it's not visible when you look straight to her but knowing it's there is making me upset :/ although I have the option to send my doll again to the same artist to re-faceup but I'm afraid she'll not be really the same doll after...
       
    4. Having still not owned a doll my fears are limited, but mostly I'm afraid I'll save up and save up and save up and finally buy my first doll....and totally be disappointed in it. Or I'll buy without faceup and completely botch it. Or the very common "What will other people think of me?" fear, although I try not to let that one get to me. I usually don't care what others think of me. Mostly I'm concerned that my boyfriend will think I'm weird for it.
       
    5. Oh man time to open a can of worms! One of my fears is to send my doll off to anyone for maintenance or face ups ;u; I've done tons of research and handle things myself because of that fear. What if there's a mix up at the post office? What if my poor doll becomes damaged somehow? At least when its in my possession I can ensure their safety. I also fear breaking ANY piece of my DiM Jullis since I never see spare parts for sale anywhere so I would have to get a whole body for him!
      And now for the final and most dumb one. When I was little I saw a show here in Japan that talked about real ghost stories. One that stood out to me was about a lady who collected many dolls. She loved and cared for them but her loneliness eventually drove her to kill herself. Her dolls were taken by her family and sold to various shops. One however was given to a family friend who gave it to her daughter. Her daughter was always seen talking to it and her mum more or less didn't think much of it. But the daughter claimed that the doll was talking back, that the doll was sad, and wanted to play forever. Then the mum noticed that the doll would be seen sitting in places that the daughter could not possibly reach. She began to see long black hair in all her food (doll hair). Needless to say she got rid of the doll! (It was actually donated to a doll shrine in Japan c: Look it up its pretty neat!).

      TL;DR Haunted doll due to being loved so much that it more or less gained consciousness. I'm scared that, that will happen if I give them too much care ouo;
       
    6. I had a dream the other night that my house collapsed and my dolls were destroyed. A week before that I had a dream that my I was travelling and when I opened my bag all my dolls were in it and broken.
      The funny thing is I only have one doll at the moment. But I guess for me my biggest fear is all of my dolls breaking in one go.
       
    7. My greatest fear is a doll being lost in transit or broken or stolen. Damaged in general. I'd be at a loss if any of this happened, and I'm specially nervous since I haven't bought my first doll yet :...(
       
    8. I'm afraid that the great fullfilling happiness that my dolls have brought me will suddenly wear off and they will become another back burner hobby and they'll just collect dust somewhere. I don't want my dolls to go neglected because my brain hates me :(
       
    9. The last thing I want for my dolls is:

      ~Losing them in a house fire or a natural disaster.
      ~An earthquake knocking them over to the floor.
      ~My dog peeing on it (Which is why I leave them on my bed.
      ~Coming to life.
       
    10. I haven't got a doll yet, so my greatest fear would be never saving up enough money,
      then my other fears would be, what if it got lost in the mail, or the mailman leaving outside my door without ringing the bell and the box just sitting there where who knows what might happen, rain or someone takin it.

      then if i get my doll my next fears would be messing up on the faceup and body blushing, using MSC wrong,
      i also plan on modding her so that opens up more fears :sweat
       
    11. I have a lot, The possibility of breaking her, not loving her enough, forgetting her, obsessing over her so much she is no longer something fun, not connecting enough, getting better dolls (I have one resinsoul only right now)and not liking her anymore... The list goes on. But I feel much better when I just hold her and thank about how lovely she is and will be :)

      :EDIT: when I say "better" I mean a more popular brand. This in now way insinuates that Resinsoul Is a bad brand. I honestly love my doll but I have nothing to compare her to. Still, I think resinsoul is great, especially for beginners.
       
    12. I mostly fear of them become mouldy because I didn't store them well!
       
    13. When buying a doll-gets lost in transit/gets shipped somewhere else/gets damaged

      When participating in a trade- other participant doesnt send out trade items
       
    14. I'm always afraid when doing a photoshoot that a doll will fall and break some fingers or smash their nose. It happened once when my Saint Simon fell and broke two fingers, I felt absolutely awful. So much so that I put him in his bag with his broken fingers and couldn't bring myself to look at him for days until I finally calmed down and glued his fingers back on. So that's my biggest fear. Now I'm overprotective of my doll, no standing by themselves doll stands at all times, no sunlight, no access to pets , no dark clothes for long period of times, no dark wigs etc...complete paranoia.
       
    15. My biggest fear is myself! When I'm working on my doll and I get frustrated when she won't do what I want her to do, I get a sudden urge to throw her across the room... But then reason sets in. Still, I'm worried that I've put so much effort into this hobby and one day I will ruin the doll! Sad, I know...
       
    16. my biggest fear when it comes to my doll would be dropping her when were traveling or in the house. :(
       
    17. Right now I've got one who's broken a finger. I have the piece and got it glued but Luts isn't selling extra hands! So now I can't buy replacements! Gah!
       
    18. My biggest fear would be setting them somewhere then them falling off and getting chipped.
       
    19. I'm afraid of my dolls yellowing at different rates. It might not be as big an issue for people with full dolls, but most of my 'dolls' are actually heads who share bodies and fantasy parts. For example, my Cream White female body is shared between 7 different heads, and multiple sets of fantasy parts. I'm going to find it much harder to enjoy my collection if things start to be obviously mismatched :(
       
    20. My biggest fear is that I don't bond with the doll so I need to sell it. :shudder
      I'm not scared of breaking or yellowing - yet.
