Big, big dollies. Would you buy a 1/2 (one-half) scale doll?

yes! since I want a boyfriend for my model doll that's taller than her. I intend to make him myself, and he's going to be huge. And buff.

 

I was thinking about this today!
Lifesize dolls would really freak me out, I don't want them. 1/2 size is ok. The Rozen Maiden are really big by the way (like a kid), but I would love them.
On the other hand they would be very heavy to carry around. I travel alot with the train and I want my dolls to be with me, so 1/2 size is not an option. 60 cm is enough for me.

 

well.. the 70cm dolls are almost 1/2 of my size, (ok, not really, but if you add 10cm..) so a bigger doll than that.. no. I think the 60cm dolls are perfect size ^^

 

I was going to make a 3.5ft(106cm) scale BJD doll for my Art teacher out of her left over mountain of clay. >_> It'd be heavy sure, but it would be fun to dress something up like that. ^_^ Since, I'd be doing a Toshio(sp?) boy from the movie Ju-On. ._. it would be rather scary haven't something like that in your room at night though O_O I don't think the size would matter to me. I just worry about the weight.

Heh, I remember that Chi doll. It was 5'1(155cm) XD Sold for like $4,000.

 

yeah...with very high ceilings and lots of extra space for storage in the garage.....and probably Killos of pastels or so for make up..... lol

I totally would!
freaky but kinda interesting idea....


I would be scared coz of it looking at me at night. Like a human- as big, and not moving..and staring...and smiling.

No I am not afraid of clowns (coz its a joke) and I got totally carried away.

 

I love the 90cm art dolls that were posted up. They are beautiful, and kinda creepily realistic.

I would love to own one, but they are way too expensive. So, while I am kinda so-so at sculpture, I am very interested in trying to make one, one day.

When I first heard about BJDs, I only found Mini owners, and so was quiet put off even 60cm BJDs. But a year on DoA has made me change my mind a bit >_>

I love the taller dolls, I would love a dollshe (if they could fix their posing problems, meow), and a 90cm doll would be lovely. I could only see me owning one though. I would see it as more of a sculpture, than a doll. That what I see the art dolls as being though, posable sculptures.

Life scale though, that's a bit.... off putting.

 

Forget 1/2, I want 1/1 scale dolls.

Hahaha, can you imagine a life-sized Isao?

...Ok, maybe I don't want to think about that. *looks at pair of Isaos on desk*

 

Hm, I don't know, I'm thinking of making a 80/90 cm doll, but that is very large already. I think they would creep me out of they were half my size. I'm pretty tall myself so..

 

I think it would be interesting to see... Though I'm not sure if I would want one. For me, I think something Hound-size is already big enough... Especially considering that I'm not very tall myself. And that I wouldn't be able to carry it around... To have something that's the size of a little kid sitting around, but is only a doll... I think it might be kinda creepy sometimes... XD;; I dunno. I guess in the end though, it would all have to depend on how it looked like though.

 

it would probably be a bit too freaky for my family but they would have to look a certain way and I wouldn't take them out anywhere

 

Heck. No. Nice idea, yeah, but being a small person, I can only imagine the hassle it'd be to transport the doll and keep it clean/clothed/presentable.

 

I like the idea of such a big doll but in real life it would probably be too much. Too big too play with and take around and also a bit creepy, almost like lugging a dead kid around.... *shudders*

 

No. My Hound is the tallest doll I will ever have, I prefer my dolls to be MSD and SD sized.

 

I think that if it was A) Way cute. 2) i dunno, made of a really light resin? I think it'd hafta be prettty light.

I saw a life-sized Chii, i'm not sure if she was a bjd or not, but her hands and arms had joints. o.o;; it was pretty cute. I think I probebly would like one, if they wern't like 1o,000 and crazy heavy=. I think i'd be fun. ^_^ She'd have her own room and clothes and makeup and . and. and! =DD Oh, i also think she'd have to be able to close her eyes....i don't know why, but that would be a must. o_x;;;


EDIT. : After reading though this thread, i want one more and more!! I want manequines!! >.< I'm already picturing what s/he'd look like. :0 omgar. I totally want one now...I remember dancing with my friend's Life Sized Barbie...xD; I think doing their faceups would be sooo fun! =DD In malls, i always yern to photograph the pretty frozen ladies [that's what i call them. XD] sitting in the stores, but the one time i actually had a camera and a gorgeous model, it died. Dx I try taking to them, and i ask permission before i take pictures. xD [yes. to the maniquines. o_o;] If i get too close i freak out, they're like real people to me. I'm totally convinced that they have spirits...

 

I personally couldn't afford one, and don't have the room.
Though, I'm sure if someone made a gorgeous 1:2 doll, it'd be the perfect one for somebody ^^

 

I think I probably won't. The ones that already are 60cm seem too big to me, and with a few ** lot ** of them at home, I'm almost sure I won't buy any doll that's bigger than this.

 

1/2.... hmmm...
yes, but....
i'll go bankrupt

 

I think if there was a life-sized Isao I would probably die.

 

Maybe. If it was an anime chara I liked or something, then yes! I'd never be able to afford it, though.
