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 want to get an elf next year.. but the ones I have/am getting are all human.

      I don't really prefer one over the other, I look more at sculpts but pointy ears are cute! Same with vampire fangs.
       
    2. Yes, and the weirder the better! I'm completely disinterested in vampire fangs, and simple elf ears leave me cold if that's all there is, but I'm a sucker for horns/antlers--my first girl comes with enormous ram horns, and she has sheep/goat ears to match! Which is delightful.

      Next on the list (if there is a next!) is Doll Chateau Alberta, and I desperately wanted SOOM's Picro (though that doesn't appear to be in the cards for me).

      So, yes, I'm more attracted to fantasy dolls--as long as they're not just straight vampires or elves (or vampire elves =P)
       
    3. I actually really dislike them. I'm not sure why, I'm chill with slight elf ears, but beyond that I think it looks silly? I'm not big into the fantasy thing. XD Not to say some of them aren't cute, but definately would never buy them.
       
    4. I actually like elf ears, but I'm always afraid I will change my mind in the future. So my only elf boy has the magnetic ears so I can switch them out.
       
    5. I think it depends for me personally. I just put down a downpayment on an Ent Story V.4 Cutie from Leekeworld, and she's my first non-natural skin tone doll, as well as my first fantasy doll. She's also a centaur! What a leap. :|
       
    6. I have a mix: human (lots of human), little elves with big ears, big elves with little ears, and a variety of ears inbetween), to more 'extreme' fantasy like Soom's Scorpion Vesuvia and that cute little dragon boy, Pixiu. I love 'em all!
       
    7. For sure they attract me more!
       
    8. I would have to say yes. I currently have one human doll, one elf, and two hooved satyr-type dolls. And even still, the human one has white skin, which IMO makes her look more like a fantasy-type character anyway. I am planning on getting more human-type dolls in the future, but they're going to be vampires so I don't know if that counts or not. :lol:
       
    9. It all depends on what type of story im wanting. I like the normal type, but as far as fantasy goes i like the elf
       
    10. I like the dolls that have the hooves for feet and horns, but the elf ears are so cute too. So yes I :aheartbea the fantasy style dolls.
       
    11. definitely. i love dolls with hooves especially. i guess that comes from my many sessions of dnd?
       
    12. I definitely love the elf ears.I seem to navigate to those whenever I am googling pictures. They draw me in. I am not too found of the fangs and not really sure about the hooves. But if I get a male doll it will definitely have horns and elf ears. I really don't know if I would ever get a normal human doll. I may just have to get a collection of fantasy style dolls.
       
    13. Love the Antlers/Horns and elf ears, some of the other fantasy body parts seem like they would be limiting as far as dressing your doll, but I love their look. Am a huuuuge Fantasy fan, so I especially am drawn to the elves though I don't own any yet.:( I am really into the fantasy outfits though!!!! Or Victorian styled, not necessarily steampunk. I feel like it lets me dress vicariously through my doll. I would totally wear a victorian taffeta gown with bustle if I wouldn't look like a complete loon out in public!! :D
       
    14. I prefer human dolls but I love my elves as well. A fantasy doll has to have the right look for me to want it.
       
    15. yeah i like the horns and ears. dont mind the tails but i feel it would interfere with my outfits. i also dont mind those quadrupeds ive seen around. im rather curious about them. i dislike full body odd colouring with them though. i prefer to see ones with white or normal skin and some light odd colour highlights here and there
       
    16. I prefer human dolls because they're so life like, but I really admire a lot of the fantasy dolls and a lot of my wirtten characters aren't human.
       
    17. I agree, I love the fantasy look, but not a big fan of vampire fangs. I really like the Doll Chateau centaurs/deer looking dolls :D I wouldn't seek them out specifically though, I like normal human, too.
       
    18. I honestly don't really like fantasy dolls. I have tried to get into them but Personally all my characters are humans. I am a very consertive doll owner. A doll I am waiting on comes with angel wings but they are very tiny and I doubt I will end using them. XD I have noticed the fantasy trend but I just cant jump on that band wagon. I have just started collecting BJDS.
       
    19. When I first joined the hobby, I wasn't all that interested in fantasy dolls. I thought they were cool, but didn't think they were for me personally. However, as I've spent a little time collecting, I've found myself more and more drawn to the fantasy type dolls. I'd really like a doll with little hooves and horns someday!!! <3 But I still love more "realistic" human dolls. ^^
       
    20. Absolutely. Although I may own human-looking dolls in the future I prefer fantasy dolls and dolls with stange proportions like Doll Chateau's ^^
