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.

Would you, could you give away a doll?

    1. I suppose it would depend on the doll and the situation and the person I'm giving it to for me... But they seem awfully expensive to just give away. And, I only have the one so far, so I can't imagine it.:)

    2. Yes, I didn't connect with them enough. I decided to sell 4 dolls and I couldn't sell my JID Tania so now I know what I need to feel when I get a doll.

    3. Well for me it would certainly depend on the doll, some of my dolls I'm very attached to (I don't see them as my children, but I have bonded with them all the same) and could never see myself just giving them away.

      My younger sister likes my dolls allot, I've actually bought a few for her as gifts before, if she really liked one of my dolls (i.e. one of them was her grail doll) I probably wouldn't mind giving them to her since I know they would be loved and taken care of.

      Most of my dolls are actually willed to my family members when I die so I've got the comfort of knowing they'll be cherished after I'm gone, even if they only sit on shelf and look pretty for the rest of their lives. :kitty2

      I used to have a very good friend, the one who got me into bjd's interestingly enough, and when we were friends I would have given her one of my dolls if she really wanted it because I know it would have made her happy and the doll would have been very loved. I suppose it would all depend on the doll and the person, but I could give them away (so long as I knew they were going to a good home ;)).

    4. It would really depend on the situation. That said, if I fall out of love with something my girlfriend usually gets first dibs, so yeah, if I have more BJD's in the future and I wasn't in love with one I could see giving it to the right person if I don't sell it first.

    5. Actually, I promised my six-year-old niece to give her one of my MSDs when she's older (I said fourteen - or whatever age she'll be old enough to fully understand what you can and what you can NOT do with those dolls. I fully intend to keep that promise. She's been allowed to hold some of my dolls ever since she was three and she's always been really careful with them so I know Melanie (the doll in question) will be in good hands.

    6. I wouldn't be able to part with either of the two dolls I have now. I do think that if I had a doll that I wasn't very attached to and I had a close friend who really loved that doll I would be able to give that doll away. My newest doll was a gift from a friend, and I'd definitely love to give that gift of joy away to someone else in the future!
