Are "Fantasy" dolls more attractive to you?

Deers and Cats are wonderful *3*

 

as a lifelong fantasy reader and collector, I am automatically drawn to anything "otherworldly". The fantasy BJDs I have seen are no different. The human dolls I want, I would get with elf ears were it possible. Anything fanged, pointy eared or hoofed or clawed will win me

 

I'm more drawn to 'fantasy' and animal/anthro dolls I think because of the whole...uncanny valley thing? The closer a doll looks to human, the more noticeable the ways it doesn't look human are, and sometimes that overall effect weirds me out a little, no matter how gorgeous the dolls are. It's easier not to be distracted by that when the doll obviously diverges from trying to be "human" in some way to start with.

 

for me
normal human type will be best
i alway choose soom human face and human body
XD。。。

 

I'm really on the fence about this. I am attracted to fantasy dolls, yet I'm not going to buy a fantasy doll for the sake of having it if I don't find the sculpt itself appealing. Also, the fact that there are enough people making fantasy parts for "human" dolls means that I could create a fantasy character if I really wanted to. Seriousnesly.

(And FWIW, "unnatural" hair color to me has nothing to do with fantasy, since my own right now is magenta with royal blue streaks, and I was 100% Grade A human last I checked.)

*EDIT*

This too!

 

The first BJD I ever saw was a Bambicrony Elf and I immediately fell in love. And now that you mention it, I suppose that I've mostly been liking "fantasy" or "mythical" looking dolls more than anything else. I really like the dolls with the elf ears and faun legs. So I'd say that yes, I do like "fantasy" dolls better because I'd like having to come up with intricate characters for them. =]

 

i'm actually not a big fan of the fantasy bjds but this is presumable more due to the fact that most of my characters that I intend for doll use are more humanoid, occasionally with elf ears (which are cute)! I personally wouldn't pay more for a bjd with the strange leg mods just because I kinda don't think they are that great :/ but I guess it depends! You can fall in love at first sight XD

 

Well, me being a die hard fantasy fan, i got a say those bjds are the best

 

I love looking at the fantasy dolls, I can't say whether or not I'd really want to own them at all. I get to see them a lot as is within my city's doll group because there's a lot who have fantasy dolls and some who only collect fantasy dolls. Other than elves and vampires.. (even the one 'vampire' I have is a regular human sculpt with no fangs.. as part of his character of disliking being a vampire) I don't think I'd be much attracted to getting one. I'm much more drawn to the human sculpts.

I think the only one I may be really tempted to if I had the money and was really wanting would be the centaur from Souldoll; Chiron I believe.. don't shoot me if I got that incorrect!! -hides- I only looked at him once or twice so far.. but I think I'd like a centaur, if only because I love horses and the mix could be good! Heh. He's not high up on my wish list yet though.. I will get the chance to see him in person though, so that may be enough for me - or it may just push him higher up on the wish list.. who knows.

 

To be honest I strongly prefer dolls that look like normal people. I am not a fan of fantasy and anime characters. But I would love to have at least one doll looking like an alien a bit. (Unfortunately it's just a dream, because I wouldn't be able to create such face-up and body blushing. )

 

I can not say fo sure that fantasy dolls are more atractive for my. But it's true that they look more interesting.
I have mo fantasy dolls and have no plans to buy one, so may be it's just not for me. I like watching their pictures very much, but nothing more.

 

I love fantasy style characters and such, but for some reason, when it comes to dolls, the expression/face sculpt matters the most; if I immediately fall in love with the face sculpt (eyes etc) then elf ears, angelic wings, demon horns won't have much to do with it.

But looking at my own statistics so far, all the dolls I'm interested in are more human looking than otherworldly beings. That would imply that I'm more interested in humans :3

 

I've noticed a pattern in my life. I hate elves. Just elves in general I have yet to meet a elf character (except for drow cause they are just as twisted as me) that lets me like them. In the stuff I write they are the first to die or get hurt. So when picking out my first doll I toyed with the idea of buying a Resinsoul Mei, but the thing that made me unhappy with her was that she had elf ears. and the character that would go with it 'likes' elves, but not enough to have to use their ears. In the end I chose a more human looking character. for me if they need the fantasy parts I'll make them. But I don't fine them more beautiful.

 

Nope, the exact opposite. I prefer human-esque dolls. My Juri '05's elf ears are explained off as her just having huge ears, even. ​

 

I'm planning on making elf ears and optional horns for my Unoa. I have hooves about 70% done. I think fantasy dolls are more fun than regular ones.

 

I prefer human dollies, but every once in a while there is a SOOM doll that pulls on my hear strings. LOL

 

It's half and half for me. Though it is hard for me to find fantasy dolls that I can get, as some of the ones I do like end up being limited (like DOD Elf ducan and some of Soom's dolls). I absolutely love dolls with the elf ears I've noticed. And those that come in both forms, I end up liking the elf form more then anything. But I also like a lot of the regular dolls just as much so it's like a mix. But a big bonus if they have elf ears. ^^

 

I prefer the humans, I mean human body and head but I love so much elven pointy ears, fairies, vampire fangs, fantasy gothic characters... this is all very attractive to me... I'm just NOT attracted to centaures and others half human half animal.

 

I think some fantasy are beautiful! Though, I can't see myself every owning one. I really like to admire them. ^_^

Personally I would like to own normal or human BJDs. They are just more beautiful to me to own.

I'm not ruling out the possibility of one day getting one, if I really fall in love.

 

Fantasies are really special but so pricey! I like a huge range so its really characters that determine what doll to buy etc cause i know loads of dolls are characters people have made up etc.
