I have not received any of the promised benefits associated with my membership in the Doll Artists Union/Doll Artists United organization. Here is a video of the promises originally made by this organization - discounts at 300,000+ vendors, a social media forum/site with a translator so artists from different countries could communicate more efficiently, a black tie gala awards benefit, monthly drawings for free doll kits (which include a vinyl doll head, limbs and cloth body and are what doll artists create their dolls from - they generally cost $50-$100 per kit), as well as exclusive doll kits only available to members. It has been 6 months since I paid for my membership, and the website has now been abandoned (with most of it being just a web template, and all of the above promises are now erased from the site, as well as the FAQ section). The vendors section (where we are supposed to get discounts) lists only 4 vendors - a far cry from the promised 300,000+. It is my sincere belief that the organization has abandoned the project, with no updates on social media for months. Had these benefits actually come to fruition, it would have been a worthy investment, but it would appear that none of the promises made will be fulfilled.
