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 your collection be different if you started with a different doll?

    1. Oh jeez this is such a good question - YES.

      My first doll was a 70cm SD and I got so hooked on the big boys. I've had 3 70cm's now and 60cm seems cute to me lol. I often think if I had started with MSD's I would've stayed on that path since I noticed other people starting around the same time stayed with the smaller sizes. There were definitely a few meetups I went to back in the day where I was the only giant owner l:lol:

    2. It's hard to say, but I think so.

      One thing that I think would have changed the trajectory of my collecting would have been if I'd purchased a female doll first. I had a boy sculpt that I loved and decided to make my first doll, but once I had him I struggled to connect with him and feel inspired with his style, and he ended up sitting in a box for like six years until I was ready to give the hobby another shot. My second doll was a girl and I just felt so much more connected with her and excited to work on her. I don't know exactly what it is, but I just prefer girl dolls! I've acquired a lot more dolls since and basically all of them are female or genderless.

      So to answer your question, I think I would have gotten deeper into the hobby sooner had I started with a girl, and the dolls in my collection might look a little different since my taste in dolls has changed since I first decided I wanted to try the hobby.
