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. Hmmm. I think for me it's mainly the doll no matter size has to fit an OC or be something I really enjoy.
      I love all sizes but I don't buy a random doll often. Very rare for me to do so unless it's just that unique to catch my eyes.
      I have a wide variety from fantasy to humans, half humans and Anthro. A few animal types as well for pets.

      I limit myself in that manner with my ever growing collection otherwise one company or another would kill me with all their releases .
      For that reason I also have a huge wishlist of grails.
      Once I own a bigger place it will stay similar but I'll probably snag more than I do right now.

      I also tend to prefer buying things with faceups already, but I won't hesitate on a blank because I know I will eventually send them out to be modded and painted once I find suitable artists. Heck I even hope to learn myself so I guess I am not too afraid to do so.
      If I do though, I suggest Mug holders. Perfect for heads and random Resin such as hands, feet, horns etc too.

      My main goal rule is: have fun but make sure necessities are paid first. I won't skip rent for any kind of doll period. It's not that needed. Great deals help too so always look into options if you're budget needs it. Like layaways (Here's where BJDivas could kill us with their awesomeness - though I don't do it often), Sale prices, deals on secondhand markets and more. I will purchase direct from companies too, but I am more prone to always having good deals so I stick to their sales times.

    2. I struggled from impulse buying too many dolls in the past, so now I decided to only get a doll if i have a character in mind first, and if it’s a character I really care about. I used to just buy sculpts because I liked them, which is valid, but personally I didn’t know what to do with them once they came.
      Also I am trying to do layaways so I don’t drop a bunch of money all at once and paying slower will probably help. Only one layway at once.
      Another good rule will probably be: complete a doll first before buying a new one.
