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.

Are "Fantasy" dolls more attractive to you?

Jun 2, 2009

    1. I love elf ears!! But at the same time, I love human ears just as much. :) The sculpt I'm looking into buying for my first doll has human ears, and I can't seem to let her go no matter how much I want her to have elf ears. They're just so cute and pointy, look at them. :D Of course, if the character you want is a fantasy doll, then those are the more proper way to go. However, it's more of the face that's attracting me than ears or hooves (which don't really attract me at all). If there happens to be elf ears with the face I love, bonus. :)
       
    2. As long as the doll looks good.....anything's fine XD
       
    3. I have a few "normal" dolls in a few different sizes so I find my eye turning more and more to fantasy dolls.
       
    4. I really love fantasy dolls, but I can't seem to bond with any fantasy dolls (I've owned quite a few elves and while I admire the hooved or clawed dolls, when I picture buying them, I just can't figure out what I would do with them.)
       
    5. I seem to like odd looking (but in a cute way) dolls - not scary.. I like elf ears so I guess that classifies as Yes. I like fantasy dolls also.
       
    6. Because I'm an avid fan of fantasy and because most of the characters I create myself for various things fall under the fantasy umbrella, I can safely say I have a high affinity for fantasy dolls.

      ... But even more than that I really really like animal dolls. Most of the dolls on my want-list right now are various animal dolls ahahah.
       
    7. I like dolls with paws or claws. Although it mostly depends on the individual sculpt. Most of the dolls that have tempted me so far, usually are fantasy sculpts.
       
    8. I absolutely prefer fantasy dolls. In fact, I don't think I would ever own a human doll unless it was a character re-creation doll. I just love the concept of fantasy creatures and way that fantasy dolls work. They are just so beautiful to me.
       
    9. I like any doll that appeals to my eyes. But if the doll I like has vampire fangs, that's a bonus! Then again, if the doll I like don't have vampire fangs, it won't bother me at all. Though, I gotta admit, fantasy dolls are really interesting! Especially if they're meant to be a vampire doll. (I have an obsession with vampires LOL)
       
    10. I like fantasy dolls when they're not mine^^ they're beautiful and all but I prefer human dolls.
       
    11. Even though I find a lot of the "fantasy" dolls to be attractive and pretty and I kinda want them at the time, I prefer my dolls to be human and as real looking as possible, which is why I prefer my dollies to come from Iplehouse :P
       
    12. I love Fantasy anything, and that includes Fantasy dolls. :lol:

      The thrill of a Vampire or elf doll is exciting, since the artist in me makes me think of stories to be told of faraway places, where swords and citizens of different languages and looks, work together for a greater good. (o';'o)
       
    13. right now: yes, very much! I'm looking at my human dolls and they bore me and I almost want to sell them (but I won't because I know I would regret it. I love their faces and most of them are limited so I probably wouldn't be able to get them back )

      don't know why though... I just have a thing for monsters! 8D hands with long claws and bird/reptile/etc feet on a 'human' are gorgeous IMO <3
       
    14. *Looks around bedroom*
      I think it is safe to say I love Fantasy molds. All my SD sized dolls are Soom MDs. Any just human molds I have are from before I started collecting Sooms and are mini sized. That said, the minis were bought with a character in mind. Only two of my Sooms were.:sweat
       
    15. I think I am leaning more towards Fantasy myself. Both my girls have fantasy face ups. I love Fantasy a lot and I can't wait til I get a 3rd doll to do another fantasy face up. I plan on making Sylvanna fairy wings when I get the chance. Then yuki is going to be an ovate/druid so I'm thinking shes going to have lots of pets and animals.
       
    16. hoofs is a very nice excuse for me to avoid looking at shoes to get to match an outfit which means alot of money saved~
       
    17. My dolls tend to be on the human side. I do have a couple with elf ears, but no other fantasy parts. I've had other elf-eared dolls in the past, too. I always love the look of them, but I just don't do anything with them. Though even with liking human-looking dolls, I still love stylized or exaggerated features, and dolls that could be anime characters.
       
    18. I personally prefer human dolls but elf ears do intrigue me! I'm not into hooves, paws, tails, etc. though I do admire them and find them fascinating.
       
    19. Yes, and no. It really depends more on the doll mold itself than anything. I have seen some fantasy dolls that I loved, and then I've found similar ones that didn't appeal to me quite as much.

      I admit, my tastes generally lean towards more human-like dolls, but I have fallen in love with a few fantasy types. And I'm conflicted on elf ears. Some of them I like, some of them I don't, either way I'm much more afraid of them breaking, since they stick out more than human ears. :sweat
       
    20. Fantasy dolls often attracts me more than "normal" dolls :) I think it's 'couse I already have a soft spot for fantasy stuff :)
