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.

    1. My boyfriend of three years thinks their creepy and does not want to be in the same room as them when we sleep! But amazingly he bought me my second BJD for Christmas/Birthday! I can't wait till she comes in!

    2. As far as I can tell, my boyfriend of 2 years is fine with the hobby. If it wasn't for the prices, I think he would have one of the fantasy dragon guys by now, just because he collects dragons. I've shown him the one I want, and he's helped me figure out where I can stop spending in order to save up. I had no idea how much money I spend on coffee! That sounds supportive to me.

      We'll see just how supportive he is after I buy my first doll. I know he likes the idea of me sewing more, since sewing de-stresses me. We'll take it one step at a time.

    3. I've been into the hobby for over 2 years and got my first doll in May. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year and is very understanding of my hobby and he is also a little interested as he has told me he wants to get one of those silicone dolls with the metal skeletons on the inside.

    4. My boyfriend thinks they're kind of cool. It keeps me doing little projects - sewing, photography... painting... ect. First time that someone I was close to (minus my 'sister' or my mother) who thinks they are creepy.

    5. The Significant one isn't a doll person but he has learned to not be scared of them and so far is okay with them as long as it doesn't put a strain to the relationship (which shouldn't but it was an issue then)

    6. My hubby thinks I'm nuts and smiles indulgently when I play with them (a smile that says you should indulge the mentally impaired)

    7. I'm fairly sure I have posted here before, but things have changed lately.
      My boyfriend still doesn't like dolls, but he is showing a weird interest in them, probably because I like them so much.
      Some time ago I wasn't feeling well and he said "well, your dolls make you happy right?"
      Thought that was kind of cute.
      And I have a mini-me doll, who is currently naked, waiting for clothes. I caught him staring at her and out of nowhere he said I should sculpt certain parts to look more like mine xD I know this comes off as kind of creepy, but he said it in such a cute way.
      I think the idea of them is really growing on them. He isn't complaining about "the eyes are following me!" anymore at least ;)

    8. My fiance loves my doll and likes to help me window shop for new dolls that I'm planning on buying. He would love a doll for himself but he's so indecisive about which one he wants.

    9. My boyfriend doesn't really mind my doll. He collects figurines from video games, so what's the difference in me collecting a different type of figurine? I showed him some of the sites and he thought they were pretty and neat, but was a bit taken aback by the cost. He supports it though since he knows I enjoy it. :)

      My ex was a different story. He made a huge deal of me having dolls. He teased me about wanting one and then thought I was so weird when it arrived. Guess ex's are ex's for a reason, as they say. :P

    10. My boyfriend of almost a year isn't really that supportive. He thinks it's utterly ridiculous to spend that much money on a doll and that I should save my money for something I might REALLY want later(I do tend to be indecisive though) but I mentioned that these dolls are what I REALLY want now, I mentioned his hobby(well he has a few like nerf guns, Yu-gi-oh cards, video games, knives and swords(not the really expensive kind)) and he told me that the hobby wasn't nearly as expensive. I showed him some pictures of other people's dolls(Don't have my own yet) and he really wasn't interested, he pointed out that one of them was creepy though :|
      He worries a lot about money which is insane since neither of us have graduated yet. He so concerned about how I spend my money and I wish he would just chill already. >.<

    11. AW, how sweet!!! I wish I could get my boyfriend into BJDs with me :| He's still very supportive though, and doesn't think it's weird or creepy and he has his own expensive hobby (video games) so he doesn't complain about the cost so long as I'm also responsible enough to pay my bills. He even lets me keep them by the bed and prattle on for hours about them. So I'm very lucky to have have him and these wonderful 2 years, 8 months with him :)

    12. Both of my boyfriends since I've gotten in to the hobby (one is an ex now!) have been very accepting. :) My boyfriend now does tell me that 'the more realistic a doll gets, the more creepy it is,' but I don't think my dolls really bother him. And there are some dolls that we both think are a little creepy. :lol:
      We actually just had a discussion about it last night... I think he's a little skeptical of the price tag (last night I was discussing how much money 60+ dolls would cost and he had no comprehension of just how much money that would cost. He didn't believe me!
      When I was looking at buying an a la carte doll from Fairyland later, I walked him through the process of how it would work and about how much it would cost total (figuring a cheap wig & an expensive faceup) and he was pretty surprised. I told him I promise if he didn't judge me for my purchases, I wouldn't judge him for his. XD

    14. I've been with my boyfriend for almost a year now, and most I ever expected of him was to put up with my dolls. (Meanwhile he only ever expected me to put up with his gaming - I LOVE watching him play videogames!) And at first he found them creepy, but then we went to a mini doll-expo, and he saw a blank Soom Taco (Human) and for the first time, he wasn't looking at a DOLL, he was LOOKING at a doll. (That makes no sense, sorry!) That very day he was converted, and spent the rest of the expo admiring all the dolls! Now he's saving up for his first doll. ^ - ^

    16. My partner is 100% Alright with my BJD hobby,
      However when he asks what I want for Christmas for example,
      And I say I want a BJD/BJD Items, He would prefer to get me something else even if
      it was more expensive, In the sense of not wanting to buy me a "Doll" for Christmas,
      Or a Tuxedo so small I can wear it on my fingers.

      He asks to see any photos I take as do my friends, But if they tell me they want to get me a
      Gift ( Birthday/Christmas ) and I name off anything BJD related, They're pretty resistant to the idea.

      So I just ask for money and buy the same things, myself, That is if person demands they give me a gift.
      I would prefer to not have gifty gifts and to make some homemade eatables at home, as a gift, any day.
      Foooooooddd~ :o

      However my one friend Bought me one this year, For Christmas, Because I came a little short getting it myself~

    17. My boyfriend of just over 5 years likes the hobby. He has expensive hobbies too, gundams, gaming, and computers, so he's understanding of the cost. It helps that we found a doll that looks like a miniature version of him, he thought it was scary at first but now the idea of a mini-self is growing on him (he thinks it's "OK"). Once we've saved up for it (he's helping with the cost) I'm planning on making lots of matching outfits and cosplay for them; my boyfriend has a blue skeleton hand shirt I'm dying to make in miniature.

    18. He thinks they're cool or cute, like I do. But he doesn't really care for them other than that.

    19. I'm single right now, but my ex was and is really happy that I have a hobby that makes me so happy( to clear things but I am still friends with my ex.) He thought they were a tad over priced, but he still wants to know if i get a doll, or which ones I am lusting over. He fan-girl(boy)ed with me when I got a DoA invite( yea, it was a big deal to me) and it's nice to have someone in RL that puts up with my doll hobby besides my sister.

    20. my boyfriend of 20 months is both supportive and not. He fully supports me doing whatever makes me happy. However, he cant understand why i want to, in his words "Waste my money on expensive barbies" I try to ignore that part and only focus on the whole if it makes you happy then do it part
