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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

Adult-like 1/4s?

Sep 30, 2021

    1. So, I really like the size of 1/4 scale dolls, but I've noticed that dolls in this size typically have a more child-like/teen appearance to them. Are there any dolls or doll makers that produce more mature looking sculpts that are still at 1/4 scale, or are they pretty much always 1/3?

      Conversely, what doll makers make 1/3 dolls at the shorter end of the scale, so they're closer in size to 1/4 without technically being 1/4

    2. Sculpts like the ones you described are becoming a lot more popular actually, I think they’re called mature minis. Iplehouse has an FID line that’s their SD sculpts in MSD size. SartoriaJ also has their sd sculpts available as 45 and 51 cm versions. Raccoon doll pretty much exclusively sells mature minis and smaller. Doll noize is an independent artist who also exclusively sells dolls in that 50cm range. And finally even IOS doll opened up their unitot line this past year which sells their 70cm dolls in 40-50 cm form.

    7. Hi Beldam,
      I hope you are fine and safe.
      Maybe you could search the following doll makers. The scale is 1/4 and they look adult enough.
      Joydolls by Julia Joy
      Chimera dolls by Nina Chimera
      Pasha Pasha mini by Pasha Setrova
      Popovy by Popovy Sisters
      Kind regards,

    8. Hi Beldam,
      I would propose you to check Chimera doll and joydolls. The size is 1/4 (43cm more or less, it depends on the feet).
      They are mature dolls very well sculpted with realistic features.
      Kind regards,
      Ioannis

    10. I wish there was a 1/4 doll that looked more mature in the face but also could fit slim msd clothes? I used to have a fashion size Arsene that KIND OF fit my minifee's clothing but there were some awkward spots like the shoulders and hips.

    11. I'm not sure how mature you are looking for, but MYou dolls have lovely 1/4 sized. I had been looking for a lower priced adult looking doll and they had a lot to choose from in my opinion. I hope you can find a doll you like <3

    12. Dream Valley and Dollzone make more mature 1/4. They have a larger head size than Iplehouse FID or Racoon doll, but slimmer bodies.

    13. Souldoll has a line of mature 1/4, they're a tad taller, in the 50cm range: Souldoll Vito
      Withdoll has mature 1/4s as well, in various heights and maturity types.

    14. I also prefer more adult looking 1/4s and tend to gravitate towards Dream Valley personally (I also really like their fantasy sculpts so it works out great). I also like Gem of Doll but I think you might Iplehouse better for what you're looking for. They have an FID line with more mature sculpts and you can actually get a more muscular body if you want. Iplehouse also has decent skin tones to pick from for their FIDs.
