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 let your kids play with your dolls?

Oct 25, 2010

    1. Usually I don't let my daughters play with my BJDs. But sometimes i can give one of the guys to elder daughter (she is 6.5 y.o now) to hold him for a couple of minutes and maybe change a wig, it is enough for her and for me:) We have a couple of very poseable 60cm vinyl girls, I can easily give them to play. When they are returned to me with messy wigs and all naked, it is a good example why I will not allow to do same with BJDs.
       
    2. Nope, I wouldn't let any child play with my doll. Look at it? Of course, kids are naturally curious and want to know what things are. Touch? Maybe, with constant supervision. But play? While none of my dolls are mucho expensive, they're all irreplaceable in their own ways and I would never, ever want something to happen to them.
       
    3. If I have any kids... Umm I think it depends on how old and mature my kids will be in the future. If they can understand how expensive they are and how to treat them with care. I think I wouldn't mind letting my kids play with my girls. Though, if they become interested in them I would probably get them their own and it would be cool to share the hobby with my kids.
       
    4. While I lack kids of my own, i used to babysit, and its resounding heck no.
      I have sat for the sweetest and most gentle kids, yet have seen catastrophic "accidents" occur with their toys.
       
    5. Well, my daughter is 16. She's more than welcome to do whatever she wants with them. She'd never do anything crazy, and I can forgive an accident. Lord, she'd probably offer to replace it if she damaged one. Other (toddler aged) family kids are allowed to touch while I hold them.
       
    6. I don't have any kids, nor am I ever planning on having any. Still though, with a sister as into boys as she is, nieces and/or nephews are an inevitability, so... I really don't think I'd let them play with my dolls outright, even with supervision, until they're old enough to play responsibly (however old that may be). Until then, I'd rather keep my dolls on a high shelf out of reach when my siblings and their kids are over.
       
    7. Hey-ell no! :o
       
    8. It's seriously,If I have a children,I will not allow my kid to touch them,I scared they make my doll dirty
       
    9. Absolutely not lol...I'd be too worried they'd drop or draw on it...if I think they're careful and responsible enough I'd buy them their own.
       
    10. strictly NOOOOO! if I hv a kid.. I'll lock my dolls in glass cases or put them in my studio..
       
    11. If it was just a pretty doll, I might have.
      But I won't let any kids to get to my dolls. They're too close to my heart and as a mental ill person I really don't want to think what might happen if the doll get stained, broken, or I don't even know.
       
    12. I probably wouldn't....but like a few people said earlier, letting kids play with something takes the "want" away. So maybe I'd let them play with some tinies or something, but maybe not the larger and more fragile dolls. That way they don't have the temptation to roughhouse with them when no one is looking.
       
    13. If hubby and I ever pro-create, the spawn will already get their own gaming computer. Naturally, he or she will get toys of their own when they are little, and be able to touch out toys when they're old enough to know not to drool on them.
       
    14. This might make a lot of doll owners nervous, cause I have had people give me flack for it before but its my choice. I have 3 year old twin girls almost 4, and i do let them hold and kinda look at my dolls, they pick out clothes and hug them and are very gentle. They also have their own dolls 2 limited edition hujoo nano freyas one glow in the dark and one pink and they love playing with them and their kelly dolls. So yeah I let my kids participate with my dolls supervised. Just a week ago or so I got my Minifee Rin in the mail and they opened the package took all the pieces out with my help and then asked for her to be put together so they could hug her. They were pretty excited. I understand this is not for everyone, its just what I do.
       
    15. In my opinion.
      I will never let my kids ( If I have) play with my doll. Because I think they will destroy them sure. T T
      BJD is delicate doll.
       
    16. I don't have any kids, but I do have two nephews and one niece. The oldest child is 10 and the youngest is 4 years, but I have not allowed them to play with the dolls I own. They would certainly break them if I lent them my dolls, so no; I would not let them play with them.

      I believe it all depends on the child, their age, their maturity level, and whether they are carefully supervised. If I do have children in the future, I would have to gage their personality.
       
    17. I dont have kids but if I did I woulden't let them play with my dolls I feel that their too fragile for kids to play with, the face up could get chipped or any number of other things could happen and since their so expensive thats just money down the drain. now I know some kids are extra careful but rule of thumb, Accidents always happen.
       
    18. No, no, no, and no. I'm not exactly a fan of kids after one ruined a non-BJD doll I held near and dear to my heart.
       
    19. I can totally respect actual parents who do let their kids play with their bjds, but I don't know if I'd have that kind of trust. Thankfully, I absolutely do not plan on ever having children. :sweat
       
    20. I am pretty certain that if and when I ever have kids, my BJDs will forever be "mommy's toys" and will probably be kept in some sort of tall display cabinet when I'm not playing with them.
