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. My mom. She bought me my first doll (DOT Sha) for my birthday.
      She doesn't own a doll but she enjoyed looking at them.

    2. No-one else in my family is into dolls, but my little sister (now that she's seen my doll) absolutely loves her. I don't live at home, but when I went home for Christmas I brought my doll. My little sister (who is 16) was enthralled. It was cute--I thought she'd think it was a stupid toy, but she spent a good portion of my stay at home with my doll on her lap. XD I reaaaaally doubt she'd want her own, but she definitely likes mine.

    3. Just me!
      My mum doesn't understand them and is a bit freaked out by them, although, she loves bragging about them, lol!
      Dad enjoys learning about my particular dorries and characters.
      My brother couldn't care less XD

    4. Over Christmas my little sister (I say little-she's a teenager) came to stay with me and she seemed to really like one of my two girls. And it would happen the girl she so loved was one I just couldn't seem to make the character fit/get right/etc so I gave the little dear to her. And while it's still pretty early in her dollie love-she seems absolutely smitten and has been making clothes and wigs and all kinds of things non-stop. ^-^ So I can add her to my 'family members that are into dolls' list.

    5. I got my daughter interested she now has one. My son has no real time for them, but kinda likes Uni Real Ark. He would much have me spend money on him (but I have a life). But I am the one who has more than one. My Mother probably would not approve, but I have not talked to her in 10 years anyway.

    6. I wish i had a Family member that I could share this hobby with. The closes thing I have to that is an ex/best friend that wants a BJD.

    7. None of mine are. In fact many of them find it disturbing. :(

    8. None of my family is exactly into BJDs.

      My three little brothers just mock me about owning dolls. They think it's just stupid that a girl of this age (I'm 21) still plays with dolls. They always ask me what is the purpose of buying such expensive dolls and although I've been trying to explain it them for 2 years now they still don't get it. My dad hasn't said anything about them.

      Only one who is even slightly interested about this hobby in my family is my dad's "girlfriend". I really don't know what I should call her because she's not my stepmother because she's not married with my dad. They just live together. But but. She is a dressmaker and loves the idea that I do clothes for my dolls. She has even told me that she could do some doll-sized patterns for me :) But even she would never buy a doll because they're too expensive.

    9. My mom and sister, my mom's got over 20 dolls by now! It's pretty great most of the time in my opinion :)

    10. My sister has a few. I know one of my cousins would love to have some doll but just can't afford it and the same can be said of my mom.
       
      #490 Careese, Nov 9, 2011
    11. None! My mother likes some of my dolls, my father doesn't know about their existence, my sister is afraid of them and my brother can't explain how I spend my money in dolls :lol:

    12. It would be so awesome if anyone in my family were into BJDs. My two children (age 4 & 6) admire the dolls, and my husband comes to look at them on the doll shelf, but I wouldn't say they are into BJDs. My mom doesn't get why I like the dolls so much and neither does my dad. My sister doesn't care either way about them and my college-age niece thinks it's weird but funny at the same time.

      I take photos of the dolls and write on the back of the prints and use those as my thank-you notes and notecards. Whenever I send those to my mom, sister, and niece, they put them up on their bulletin boards at work or in my niece's case, in her dorm room, so I guess they are accepting of the dolls, at least.

    13. None. But my mom collects Barbies and that's probably the closest I'm going to get to someone liking BJD's like I like them.

    14. my dad thinks they are creepy, my mom likes them to a point, (she collects other dolls her self) and my little niece like to play with them and dress them up ^^
       
      #494 jingko, Nov 10, 2011
    15. Sadly none :( Some of my friends do collect other dolls like blythe and momoko though
       
      #495 tanpopo18, Nov 10, 2011
    16. My big sister, who is a DoA member also. We got into the hobby about the same time, although she got her first doll before I did. Our dolls are basically one big doll family rather than two different ones. And we recently got my cousin into the hobby also. He just joined DoA not too long ago after getting a Soom Migma with both bodies and heads! ^^;;;

    17. No one is all that interested in them; part of them find them tolerable, the other half doesn't.

    18. So far only my 2 older daughters and I are a big fan of them. My family just calls me a big kid.
       
      #498 Crystalinewings, Nov 10, 2011
    19. being a big kid is great! i tell my mom that they are her grand kids ^^
       
      #499 jingko, Nov 10, 2011
    20. My Fiancee was amazed at the doll i picked out for my first doll, I think he wants to see what I come up with, and i already know he''ll be very interested to see what OC i come up with, so he's a vivacious BJD fan lol does that count?
