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 purchase a handicapped doll?

    1. I don't get human parts when I get a doll with fantasy parts. If I want the fantasy parts I have no use for the human parts... but then I'm not concerned with resale values either. If I wanted to be sure I could resell the doll.later I would probably want the human parts.

      As for the disability question I don't see anything necessarily wrong with making or having disabled dolls. (Honestly when I saw this thread I thought it was going to be about dolls with faulty joints or something; that's what I would consider a truly disabled doll... and even those can be found room for in certain people's hearts.)

    2. For me it would depend if I had a character in mind for him/her. I love fantasy dolls so i am drawn to them, however if I have no character in mind I don't buy any.

      The same rule would apply to disabled dolls, I would have no problem I just need a character of the doll to represent.

    3. Exactly what I feel.
      I started thinking, yes I could buy a doll with a disability, but indeed, it would be easier to me, having a doll evolve into having a disabilty (whatever that was) than buying one with one already.

    4. Because it came up in the hidden handicaps thread - I probably would. If a doll came with a wheelchair or crutches, I'd get their fullset just to get my hands on the props!
      I have one handicapped doll (whom I modded - the character lost a leg, so I made him a prosthetic). I enjoy customizing, but if a company were to come up with a doll that fitted an OC of mine, I'd get him/her and keep them as they were.

    5. Well, as a disabled human, I guess I've got a built-in rejoinder to anyone who thought I was 'fetishizing' something by having a disabled doll...

      I can't think of any characters I want to doll-ify whose visible disabilities would need to be sculpted in, though. I mean, it's not like I can't be won over by a great doll that I hadn't planned on, in theory. I might be more in the market for a doll with your standard body and then doing my own scars when body blushing, or using props such as a cane or wheelchair, but I think the doll mentioned sounds really interesting, and can see it being a beautiful/desirable doll.

      After all, there are quite a few dolls that have hard to clothe bodies-- not just because of fantasy parts, but those with different proportions from the usual, that just don't have a lot of people sewing or pattern-drafting for them.

    6. I've actually been planning whether I should get a doll-sized wheelchair for a doll that has always been in wheelchair while being a floating character in my head. I will absolutely order the doll as soon as I find the one that resembles her, but is having a doll wheelchair around the house too much for my parents? They'd probably think I have lost my mind, first writing stories about a girl in a wheelchair and then ordering wheelchairs for my dolls.:abambi:
