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. Like so many people here theft or damage... I just really don't want anything to happen to them ><

    2. I don't fear damage or breakage as much with my non-limited dolls because I feel like they could be replaced if need be, but my limiteds are different. I'm paranoid that they will get damaged and I wont be able to replace them.

    3. I'm afraid of my dolls being broken but I'm more worried about them being stolen. :shudder:shudder

    4. The only few things I would cry over is if Pepper was stolen from me, that is the worst feeling in the world and I don't want that to come true! Another is if I creaked something on her, yes I could get new parts but the feeling of hurting my doll is just... Yeah. Other than that I don't think I have anything else I fear.

    5. My biggest fear is of a doll getting lost in the mail when it's shipping back and forth for a faceup. There would just be no way to replace it, or to know what happened to your beloved doll...

      I used to worry about yellowing. But I keep my dolls in a dark room and after 3 years one of my absolute palest, and my very first doll, hasn't yellowed anywhere at all. He's been outside several times and he's always on display, and I've had no problem with yellowing.

      I'm not terribly worried about falls. I dropped my Fairyland Roke on his face like 3 times and nothing happened. x_X Amazingly. I don't know how it kept happening. I did knock his faceplate from my dresser and chipped the tip of his dragon ear off. My wife glued it back on and I'm sad about it but he's not ruined. I busted the cat playing behind Roke today and she almost met a young demise. XD But nobody was hurt in the end...

    6. I'm terrified of them breaking or being stolen.

    7. my major fear is a crack/chip/breakage/of any kind to my doll because they don't make my doll/parts anymore

    8. I have three fears, actually. My first would be my little sister marking on their faces. She's done so before on my other dolls when I was younger and she used sharpie.:| My second would have to be accidentally wiping away my doll's face up, especially if I actually succeed in doing a good job in doing one. Lastly, I would fear some sort of natural disaster occurring while I'm away and not being able to find or fix them in the aftermath. I don't think I would ever have the heart to buy them again because they wouldn't be the same.

    9. Many things already named would be the biggest fears, by seriousness. But I don't think that much about them. My main fear is not such a big deal objectively, and has more to do with my own behavior. I have great HUGE dreams for what I want to do with art and my dolls. Even 2-dimensional watercolors OF them. I fear I will not get on with it and clear through the personal stuff blocking me.

    10. My biggest fear is that their faceups will wear off or get ruined. I know who did a couple of the faceups for my dolls, but my 70cm girl's faceup was done by a friend of a friend of the owner before the owner who sold her to me. Who I found out when i saw old pics of her on flickr that the lady doesn't do other people's faceups anymore.

      My other fear would be my parents finding out about my hobby. I keep thinking of showing my younger sister, but my parents would never ever understand.

    11. My biggest concern is a natural disaster. With hurricanes we have advance notice so there is time to prepare a bit, but with other weather events or forbid a fire it's not so. Bottom line my family comes first and foremost. It is always good to have an evacuation plan i.e. must take items in case of a hurricane, or a designated place for the family to gather at in case of a fire. My sincerest hope is that none of us are ever faced with this. My other concern is extremely minor basically that of ordered items not fitting any of my dolls let alone the one it was intended for.

    12. Having them stolen would be the worst... But having them damaged in any way (chipped/scuffed etc) is also horrible.. My haneul is so old though that she definitely has some yellowing... ><;;

    13. This is a fear of mine also. So far I have not had a problem, as I have been allowed to keep them in carry-on luggage and under my watchful eye. One shuttle driver however, turned out to be the most careless baggage handler, and I swear mistreated my luggage just to spite me. I was mortified at watching the case my doll was in get thrown, shoved and piled on.

    14. That he'll never be done and able to come home, or that I'll buy a doll and get too creeped out by the empty eye sockets to do anything to it... >.>

    15. My apartment burning down so all my dolls and ponies would be ruined...
       
      #155 Lil Spark, May 23, 2013
    16. (Not sure if Ive already responded to this) I am deathly afraid of my dolls: falling, getting broken, damaging their face-up, being stolen, etc. :eek: But I guess those are all normal fears to have in this hobby.
       
      #156 babymoose96, May 26, 2013
    17. Definitely having them lost or damaged in the post or not returned to me. I have 4 heads off for face-ups and lets just say I was half considering flying them to the artists personally. No I'm not loaded like that...lol, just a worry wart newbie. So I insured the heck out of them.

      The other thing is having my dolls damaged by someone other than myself who thinks you can just pick one up at Walmart for $19.99. I recently travelled with two of my dolls and had security pull me over to check my bag. Luckily the lady was respectful and gentle and put on gloves to inspect them.

    18. Them getting destroyed in a fire while I'm not home...(If I'm home I would take them out with me)
      ...and - maybe it sounds stupid - them being mistreated after my death. (Hope it will be many many many years until I die...but someday everyone does...and maybe there'll be no one I can give them to and be sure they aren't unwelcme or that this person doesn't use them for modding experiments li&#7729;e sanding of the nose or something. ;_; )

    19. 1). Someone stealing her
      2). Losing/misplacing her
      3). Breaking/Sun-damage/ Scratching her up

      (I plan on trying to put the best care into it as much as I can. I am more risky with my laptop and phone than with her! >_<)
       
      #159 Starfly, May 27, 2013
    20. Biggest fear is rubbing off face up for sure. Second would probably be sun damage...I really want to do a beach photoshoot but I'm so worried about the Florida sun messing them up!
