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.

Which of your family members are into BJDs?

Apr 14, 2007

    1. None of my family is really into it, but my close friends are and my mother seems interested. I'm so glad she's supporting me~ ^w^
       
    2. My son love my bjd dolls... he think they are so adorable..
       
    3. I showed it once to my sister and she fell for one. I'm not sure which one is it is, I think it was a dollmore doll, I'm not exactly sure. But she fell for it. She wants one as equally as I want one. ^^ It's really nice though, because we both talk about it and it makes us connect even more as an older sister and a younger sibling. She's older by the way. ^^;
       
    4. Me and my daughter are into BJD's....however, hubby thinks they are ugly and doesn't understand why we love them so much. He insists that the dolls I make are much prettier and more realistic looking. I don't see what he sees and can't understand why he says they look so fake. I think they look a lot more realistic than some of the porcelain dolls I used to make......
       
    5. My girlfriend and little sister are in the hobby with me. but I was first.
       
    6. None of my family is really into BJDs but my mom likes that I like them and helps me when I have sewing questions and my sister's don't get it but they have both told me that they like stuff I'm sewing and made me wait to do a box opening until they were around so they could see it. I wish I knew people who were into BJDs because it would make it more fun but I'm very glad that my family supports me!
       
    7. No one in our family, because my family members are so much different persons that what I am, they don't even understand why I like these dolls, but I don't even want to explain for it to them, because this is my thing, so if they don't like it then they don't like it, but I don't care if they don't like them because I like them and that's the point.
       
    8. No one in my family is :/ My mom likes regular porcelain dolls but she thinks BJD's are overpriced and doesn't get it
       
    9. My little sister (she's 13) has got a Souldoll Maillo head!xx,D :D (She is a member of my country's BJD forum, but not DoA ˇˇ")
       
    10. NONE. My parents would be certain I had lost my mind if they knew about my dolls. My Mom found out that I was buying them, because she somehow discovered my eBay identity and saw the purchases made there. She flipped out. It was very unpleasant. I am not a young person, but there are "enmeshment issues" in my family -- still to be worked out. The dolls are probably part of that process for me.

      My aunt gave me money toward my first doll, and a cousin told me to "just do it" because they know I have needed to lighten up, and do something that is just for fun. They happen to be visiting here from another state when I was agonizing over my FIRST purchase.
       
    11. My two little sisters are more or less into the hobby :)
      The oldest of the two (18) have a doll of her own, however she's not playing much with her. She's currently doing her face-up, which is taking forever since she's almost never at home and I'm the one who has to seal the head xD She was the first one to get a doll.

      The youngest (17) of them doesn't have a doll, and she's really bad at saving. She doesn't really save for one right now, even though she knows which one she wants. (A twin for the doll I just ordered :3)

      I'm the oldest of us three sisters (I'm 20.. We also have a big brother, but he's not into the hobby at all), and I've been interested in the hobby longer than the other two, and I'll be getting my first doll in december/january. Even though I don't have a doll of my own yet, and one of my sisters does, I'm by far the one who's the most interested in the hobby :sweat

      My parents support us, as long as we pay for our dolls with our own money :)
      My boyfriend supports me kind of. He says he's accepted it, but complains about how much I spent on my first doll and how much time I spend on DoA :doh
       
    12. Just me... so when I try to tell my family members they get very annoyed.
       
    13. XD
      My mom is actually into BJDs now. but because I bought them for her XDD
       
    14. Me, my sister (PlagueBearer on here), and my oldest sister Melissa. They're the only people who ask for updates on the growing family of BJDs. XD
       
    15. none of my family into this kind of hobby , they said its 'waste of money'

      but good thing they supporting me on photograph so i can always used the excuse 'model' for my picture and i will be allowed:)
      as long i didn't mention their price :sweat
       
    16. None of my family members or friends are into bjds, most of them like them and support my hobby but some think they are "creepy" and said they would be affraid to go to sleep at night. :( It doesn't bother me though,as long as I love them I don't really care what others think or say.

    17. My sister who get me into the hobby and myself. We are twins so its not too hard to believe that it can happen lol. :)
       
    18. none of my family members are into this hobby, but i plan to drag into this my father and my boyfriend! XD
      they can help me with a lot of stuff, fornitures, projects! i'm not very good in thecnical drawing, my father is better than me!
      he could make projects and then i could work on them! *^*
       
    19. I haven't really told anyone in my family about them. I live with my parents so they're really the only ones that know. (My dad doesn't care about them one way or the other but he doesn't say anything negative... except when I put pink canvas shoes on my boy. :lol:)

      My mom has a lot porcelain dolls but she doesn't get them... She's okay with me owning them but she thinks they are too expensive and says all my boys look like girls.. (Even insists I name them all 'expensive' or 'girl'.)

      My sister has seen pictures of them but thinks they're kinda creepy, but overall admires them for being so detailed and lifelike.
       
    20. My mom is in the hobby. She is collecting pukifees and she has one minifee. Actualy, she was the one, who got me to this hobby "D
