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.

    3. For me it would be about how many hobbies you can put together for this one. Sewing, sculpting, jewelry making, photography, character creation/writing, painting/drawing, etc. All can be used on/for a doll. It allows everyone to do something, even if they only have a couple specialized skills. Or even if they don't have any art skills or don't wish to pursue any, taking others work and putting it together can be a skill in itself.
       
    4. I have to say its the creativity. From the clothes to the way people MOD the dolls the way they do their face ups the wigs the hair the hybrids and the photo stories. I find it all so refreshing. Even if the doll is all creepy and gore with the blood and such. I still look at it and go wow that's so creative and cool. I may never do it but I admire someone else's ability to do it.

      I also like that it really does sit around someones creative ability. Being into cosplay there are a lot of cosplayers who hit pick at someone else's creative ability because it's not professionally but in the community it's all what you can do is fine. Do your best. I love it.

    5. What @CherryB said. The creativity in this hobby amazes me and more importantly, it *inspires* me...my dolls are my muses, and sometimes, other people's dolls as well!

    6. Definitely has to be the Face up, styling the Hair and picking out the eyes. then once you add a cool outfit and give the doll a personality.
       
    7. I enjoy the people in the hobby and having it as a unique thing I can share with my daughter. I also love how by simply changing a wig or the eyes of a doll can completely redefine and change that character.
       
    8. I think I couldn't describe it until one of my friends saw me working on my first face-up, and I told her about the wig I was waiting for, the eyes, the clothes I was planning to dress her with... and she said "WOW, That's like The Sims but in real life!!!" And then I realised why I enjoy this hobby sooo much :D
       
    9. I love everyone's creativity and how people get so excited about each other's original characters and designs !! its super fun omg !!
