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.

A fat dollfie.

Dec 30, 2005

    1. I would love to have a chubby doll! :D I am very much into baroque fashion and I think those dresses just look lovelier on a voluptuous body... Since I'm constantly out and about on my horse, I myself have a common doll body and I hate how sparse and scrawny I look in those beautiful baroque dresses... -.-'
      It would be very nice to have a gorgeous lush doll body to go with the lovely merry faces out there.
      Maybe if I can't find one, I'll have to make one myself or modify one...
      So my girls can model all their fabulous dresses!
      :)
       
    2. Saoirse and Siobhan are soooo lovely, I'd love to get one too!
      And yes to chubby dolls! There are a few pear shaped dolls, but none are chubby-chubby, I guess
       
    3. I would love to sculpt a real FAT bjd. Like the 300 stone woman on TLC or however the programis called. I do not want to offend people, Ijust like to creat a fat bjd. Not to make fun on it or something.

      Ps: FreakStyles's girl is adorable!
       
    4. I want a fat BJD. There is a maker here in the US that makes them...somewhere out of Utah I believe? Maybe Ohio...lol, anyways, I would probably make the clothes for her myself. No big deal. I guess it would probably be a more advanced project. I think I would want to sculpt her myself out of resin.

      She is actually here on DOA, the maker is from Minnesota. Her name is Nepenthes. There are a few threads out here about her.
       
    5. I want a chubby doll so bad!!!!!
       
    6. Ringdoll made a little butterball of a doll called Fat Happiness. It's one of me and my sisters grail dolls. I would love to get my hands on the little guy. He's majorly adorable!
       
    7. A fat doll for me is one that has a HUGE belly with huge arms/legs because of all the fat and skin that hangs around a real fat person. A doll with big curves but still has a flat stomach, slim waist and arms is NOT fat. A fat doll like I described at first will have movement impediments! it will not be as great poser as a slim BJD and there's nothing that frustrates me the most than a bad poser. So, no...fat BJDs are not for me but would love to see one just for curiosity's sake.
       
    8. freakstylebjd's Salome is up for pre-order now, I got her in Light tan because curves and tan skinned dolls are two of my favorite things! She looks like she will be a good poser too!
       
    9. I wouldn't mind seeing a few chubby molds for more variety. The only real chubby dolls I've seen have been made homemade.
       
    10. They allways make them so perfect and idealistic so people will buy them
       
    11. I haven't gone through the whole thread, but did you already talk about Sleeping Elf/Tinybear's fat fairies? Here's a pic of one of my girls, Cocoa.

    12. I'd love to see more diversity in BJD body shapes - difference is what makes the world interesting, after all. I think there's definitely a market out there for fuller figured dolls, I mean the huge media interest around the play doll Lammily vs. Barbie shows that. I get that some people want their dolls to be idealised perfection, but the whole reason I love dolls is that they reflect the real world in miniature. I wouldn't want a collection of dolls that all had the same shape, size, skin tone, etc.
       
    13. I would like a chubbier doll too that isn't supposed to be a baby. Not morbidly obese but have a little meat in her bones.
       
    14. Now, I wouldn't want one for myself, but I am all for diversity in the doll world. Just because I don't want one doesn't mean other people shouldn't have the opportunity. I think there'd be a good market for it and it would be interesting to see what people did with those dolls. I know that FreakStyle Salomé is a chubby mature doll coming out, so that's one recent development of that kind.
       
    15. What a cute doll body! :D Salome is very pretty...

      Like most dolls I want at this point - I might not be able to get simply because I'm already paying one off. But maybe if I pay her off early...
       
    16. She looks gorgeous, that belly button really does it for me, haha~ I agree that there should be more 'bigger' girls out there in the doll world. Slim dolls actually give me the creeps so that is why I usually stick to the chubby baby sculpts. *sigh*
       
    17. Definition of impossible: being female and having a body weight that isn't criticized.
      I know large women bear the brunt of this. But thin women can be a target as well these days. They are accused of being anorexic or are a target of those stupid "throw her a sandwich" comments. And women who are in-between in body size? What's that? Some people will say they're too fat, and the rest will say they're too thin!
      It's a shame to see all of this trickle down to the doll world, but that's inevitable.
      The comment I hear the most is "I think chubbier dolls are a great idea, but I wouldn't want one." I, too, like the idea of more variety, but companies are only going to make what sells. I don't think there's enough of a market.
