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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

Would you loan someone your doll or ask to borrow one?

Aug 24, 2008

    1. I would never loan my doll to anyone and I would never ask to borrow one. My doll means alot to me and I would miss him terribly plus if anything happened to him I'd be furious. The way I feel about my doll is why I wouldn't ask to borrow one. If I damaged someone else's doll I would feel absolutely horrible.

    2. Probably not. If I invite them over they will see them eventually anyway.
      It would make me very uncomfortable to just send my doll out to be "borrowed".

    3. No and No. Not even friends, NO ONE can have my dolls. >_< I don't trust anyone when it comes to my possessions. I also would never ask to borrow one unless they offer it.

    4. Loaning - only to a very select few friends.

      The only way I could see myself borrowing a friend's doll would be if I had the same sculpt on order and didn't have one in a similar size to measure for clothes. But if I did that they'd either get the doll back right away or, if I had it a few days, their doll would be returned with a new outfit as a "thank you."

    5. My first answer would be no to both lol

      I wouldn't have a problem going to a friend house and taking the doll to take measures and so on but I would take it back with me on the end of day, I would never ship the doll to anyone either even on the same country. And I would never ask anyone to do.

    6. I might. If he's/she's an active member of our local bjd community. I don't think I could deal with international shipping and stuffs.

    7. I think that I might, depending on the person of course, if I had other dolls. I don't think I could lend Nadeko to anyone though.
      My friend, Alucard521, has left her doll, Ai, with me for weeks at a time (though it wasn't really lending her to me as much as it was asking me to take care of her for a while) and if it wasn't for the people that she lives with I wouldn't have a problem doing the same.

      EDIT: I just remembered that I had another friend keep Nadeko at her house for me when I had some housing problems. She was in her box in my friend's closet the entire time she was there and I'm sure that my friend didn't open it, she's not the least bit interested in BJDs but knows that Nadeko means a lot to me so she gladly looked after her for me.

    8. I'd never ask to borrow an expensive doll, but I have asked my face up artist if I could borrow her OT Goodreau BJD to show my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, since I was thinking of buying them one, but first wanted to see if they'd like it. But I only asked since we are good friends, and I was leaving five of my own BJDs with her for face ups, body blushing, and modifications. Plus she lives nearby in the next town.

      But otherwise I would never loan mine or ask to borrow one.

    9. definitely no, unless it's for a face up. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my doll by accident. Not for myself but also for the one I would lend the doll to. If a friend of mine accidentally damaged my doll, he or she would probably never forgive him or herself. So I guess it goes both ways...

    10. I wouldn't ask, but I would let someone borrow mine, depending on who it was. Like, my sister is a professional seamstress, so I'd totally let her borrow bubblegum. ( especially if she making me a dress!)
       
      #750 Atomiczombiephd, Aug 23, 2015
    11. Commissioning artists, seamstresses, etc. is one thing, but loaning? No way. Not gonna happen.
       
      #751 PeppermintPocky, Aug 23, 2015
    12. I'd loan it to her even just to play with. But the list of other people I'd consider I could count on one hand

    13. I would be too nervous either way tbh. What if my doll breaks? Or worse, what if I break someone elses doll? Nope too risky lol

    14. I would have to trust the other person a lot.. It has costed me a lot of time and money to have my dolls i would be sad if something were to happen to them
       
      #754 winxred12, Sep 22, 2015
    15. NO WAY. My dolls mean way too much to me and cost me too much. It's like my cats, just NO....
       
      #755 magkelly, Sep 22, 2015
    16. It depends on the person to be honest. Sometimes I let people "baby sit" my dolls if I know them well enough.....

      If they are a close friend that I can trust and they're interested in dolls I would also be willing to lend them a doll so that they can get accustomed to holding and posing a BJD.
       
      #756 pleiades, Sep 22, 2015
    17. Sometimes, I let my daughter play with my YO-SD. In some way, you could call that loan. And if he was interested, I would allow my hubby to play with them. I trust these two not because they are family, but because I know they know what these dolls mean to me.

    18. I'm way too clumsy so I would never dare borrow anything from anyone. I also feel like I can't trust other people handling my property carefully enough for me to consider borrowing a doll of my own either.
       
      #758 Zeras, Sep 22, 2015
    19. I'm going to have to say a soft 'maybe'. My doll friend has always been kind enough to allow me to experiment with clothing on her dolls and my roomie has been letting me borrow her doll while I'm waiting on mine. But, in both cases, I have been respectful and have not gone anywhere with them. Just some quick measurements and then back to the shelf....

      ....So, I suppose 'maybe' would be the best answer I could give.
       
      #759 satire.and.prose, Sep 22, 2015
    20. No. Neither way. Unless it's a doll that doesn't have much of an emotional value for her/his owner and didn't cost a fortune. Talking about my dolls, there is only one person I can think of who I'd hand them over to without a doubt, and that is the exception to the rule.
