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.

    2. Mine is Alphie, the doll in my little icon/picture thingy that accompanies my posts.

      He's a Luts Delf Chiwoo I bought second hand from eBay because I wanted to see pictures of the actual doll I'd be getting rather than generic company photo's of a doll of the same sculpt.

      He's stil with me, seventeen years later.

    3. My first doll is a 5stardoll Tong Tong that I bought in 2012. She has such a big chubby face I just couldn’t resist. She’s been with me all this time and I still love her to bits.
      I moved from the US to the UK and she ended up with some dirty spots on her face. As much as I love her default faceup I think it’s time she gets a new look. I’m terrified and excited at the same time.

      Minifees are beautiful dolls but in my mind since they’re all over the place I don’t think I’ll ever get one. :/ I’ve seen some gorgeous faceups on them on the marketplace though. :)

    4. I've been in the hobby a little over 14 years, oddly I count the years based on the age of my 4th BJD Thaddeus who came home on Halloween of 2008. As was in the hobby for a while before he came, but his got you date is the easiest to recall so makes a good counter.

      So then my first dolls came a bit before Thad. Some time in late 2007 I order a Dollmore Bella and a Dollfie Dream head (I want to say 04), at about the same time when I got into the hobby. I think I got the head first, then Shokuji (my Bella) came and a little after that Dare my Dollfie Dream got her body. I forget fully the dates they came home on, another reason Thaddeus is my mile marker in the hobby vs them.

    5. Angel of Dream Chen, but it was their first version of him. They've updated the sculpt and changed the body a few times since then. I still have him, he'll be 15 this summer!

    7. My first doll was my Island Doll Ivy (same as in my icon, I really need to take more pictures of her!) I got her about ten years ago when I was a teen. I picked that sculpt half because the price was accessable to my no income self at the time, and I loved her sweet expression.

    13. Dollshe SA Bermann, the Tensiya Valentino release, bought him 3rd hand in 2006.
      Bermann was the first 70cm doll made, there was nothing else like him at the time. I recently tried to buy him a new suit and he is so skinny compared to dolls made in that size now. Poor old skinny, the suit was way too big.

    16. My first doll was actually 2 dolls and a floating head. It was 2011 and I had just learned about BJDs a couple of months earlier. I had not intended to buy a doll at that point, but 5 Star Doll was having a Summer Event. I got 1/3 Tumnus, 1/6 Rex and a floating head of 1/3 Edmund. But I consider Tumnus (my Genesis) to be my first toll. He is still my favorite and most beloved doll after 11 years.

    17. My first doll of this "kind" was a Volks Dollfie Dream I, hybrid with a CP VDES head sculpt. Both are close to nineteen years old now, and still with me to this day. My first full resin BJD was a SoulDoll Paris, who is also still with me and is around sixteen or seventeen years old now (I don't sell my stuff, so I own all the BJD I ever purchased plus a million OT toys and dolls I still purchase now and dolls from my childhood as well. I love to hoard collect toys!). (:
