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.

>BJD size EXTREMES!!!<

Nov 24, 2010

    1. Well, I have to admit I'm very picky when it comes to sizes. I have an 47cm tall girl doll and just ordered a 60cm boy.
      Since I'm of small height I'm certain the 60cm boy will already give me reactions like "OH DEAR! So huge!" So having a 90cm doll is definitely a no-no for me. It'd reach to my waist, guys. TO MY WAIST! :o

      Therefore, a 1/1 BJD would probably scare the hell out of me, since it would definitely be taller than me. It's nothing I appreciate greatly anyways. Just like someone before me said, I prefer my dolls to be dolls. :3

      And... These 5,5cm dolls... Well, I'd probably loose them. x_x
       
    2. The joined Paper Moon Dolls are comparable to the Volks Obitsu in joint style and are not really sexual ,as they dont have the correct lower anatomy they can stand up with a small stand for balance and have tuff skin .
      The none jointed Paper Moons are more like Mannequins only prettier!

      Mannequins are made to stand and be the most durable but also lack luster of sex or detail!

      As where Realdolls are not as posable and are very heavy thus cant stand on their own , great care must be taken to insure they are not injured because their soft silicone skin can rip and tear just like human skin , but they have all the bells and whistles whan it comes to being sexual.
       
    3. I would never want a full human-sized bjd, but I do love love love love big boys. I want all of them to be AT LEAST 60cm. I'm hoping all of them will be 70 cm., with maybe a few 60cms. representing younger kids/teens.

      I dont' think I'd mind a 90cm. at all! But after that that gets too big I think :/ Then it's just... i don't know, Uncanny Valley, as is a usual term around here XD
       
    4. Phew, a human-sized BJD sounds like a lot of work. I have one SD at the moment and I always whine about carrying her. She's pretty heavy! I can't imagine getting anything bigger. MSDs are more of my thing but I recently ordered my first Tiny so we'll see if I get stuck on Tinies. XD
       
    5. I worry that a legitimate large doll would be mistaken for dolls like RealDolls too much. But me owning a large doll like that is too much for me. I'd feel like I was lugging around a dead body, or something nutty. :lol:
       
    6. I did =_=
      I went from one tiny to a whole army.

      Ignoring the whole lifesize doll thing, I have an IP EID and he's honestly too big for me and I'm almost 6 ft tall. I can't do anything with him, and I don't really have any desire to. Part of it is his weight and size, the rest are the joints. I can't stand them. I never touch the poor thing, but because he's gorgeous, perfect for his character and limited I won't sell him.

      Then on the other hand my Glamor Model from Dollmore is taller than Kamau but doesn't seem as huge to me since he's much slimmer (and all leg). I can handle him so much better and he's less clunky so his size is almost unnoticeable to me.

      I have a feeling that those two will remain my biggest dolls while I'm in the hobby. I have no desire to own anything bigger at all XD

      As for Tinies, I love my Pukis and YO sized dolls but I'm not interested in anything smaller. I know they exist, but I can't imagine a smaller doll than a Puki right now XD
       
    7. As others have mentioned, neither the Paper Moon dolls nor the Realdolls are on-topic for Den of Angels (the Paper Moon dolls do not have a strung ball-and-socket structure, but rather have jointing more like 1/6 Volks Dollfie and Obitsu dolls, and the Realdolls have silicone sheathing over an armature, and are also clearly meant to serve as sex toys).

      To my knowledge, the largest ABJD to have ever been commercially available that did fit the on-topic criteria for Den of Angels was the Dollche 910, a 147cm tall, fully-strung and jointed resin ABJD that was made in 1/1 scale to a petite woman. Unfortunately, the dolls were marketed to collectors of silicone sex dolls, and of course were a huge failure (since they weren't sex dolls), and thus the line was discontinued. When they were available, they were priced at 399,000 yen.
       
    8. Ahhhcck, no, noooo, a 1/1 scale BJD would SCARE me *_* I'm an MSD-sized collector, though I plan to get dolls in the 60cm range, I don't want ANYTHING over exactly 70cm. (and even then, there are only two dolls I want that are 70cm).

      There just comes a point when there's too much doll xD;; Also, before anyone beats me to a pulp for saying this, I speak from the ignorant experiences I've... dealt with.
      Having a doll at 1/1 scale, even if it *is* a BJD, non-doll people may see a doll that size as something... sexual. Please don't burn the messenger on this one, but it's just something I've seen been mentioned when people are around my dolls. It pisses me off to think someone trying to relate an MSD to a sex doll, but they do. Because people are horrible animals who are utterly glued to their "human needs" of MUST HAVE SEX.

      But regardless of that, still, a life sized BJD would scare the living daylights out of me @__@; (And I would probably pay money just to see someone figure out how to deal with one that size xDD)
       
    9. This 5cm tall one is really cute... but i think such a small doll would be forced to sit on some kind of shelf. Way to small for me. The life sized one creeps me out too >_> when i was smaller i always wanted to have a doll as tall es me. thats weird how the taste can change ^^"
      70cm is the highest for me. maybe up to 75cm but my Dollzone boy who is 70 cm really is heavy and tall enough. he goes almost to my hip >_>
       
    10. Eeeeeeheehee! The 5cm doll is so cute! I would love to attach little oversized fairy wings to it, dress it up with a tiny masking tape dress (can't imagine sewing for it lol) and make it all adorable...

      ...and then promptly lose it. Not on purpose of course, but knowing me? It would vanish! :?

      I'd blame the plastic velociraptor sitting on my desk. It would be one bite for him.:nowords:
       
    11. That wasn't a well-thought out strategy, was it? :) But there you go. Why would the average bjd collector want to dress and maintain a true bjd that big? I have two lifesized cardboard standees and those haven't been up in my house in 10 years. I haven't had the room in my last few places. I'm not sure I could handle a 90 cm to be honest. Took me a while to get used to 63 cm. I'm waiting on a near-70 cm and that may be as big as I can take. 70-73 cm. I'm more intrigued by SoulDoll's Vito line. a mature male at 52 cm. Easier on the wallet and makes more room for more dolls.
       
    12. I think at a certain point, they become too small or too big. A life sized one would be nice though, because you can just put people clothes on it. But imagine if your doll is bigger than you lol It would be so difficult to carry. And the super tiny ones sound like they might get lost easily, even though they are cute sounding =]
       
    13. Much bigger than your "standard" SD would be too hard to take places. Any smaller than about 11cm and I'd worry about losing it. To each his (or her) own, though.
       
    14. I got a sex-doll comment just carrying my Soom Heliot (70cm) around in public; I don't think I could handle all the crap I'd get for owning a lifesize doll. Also, I couldn't afford one. But if I could and saw one I really really loved, I'd probably get one. A pretty boy to sit in the house with me and scare my family. <3 The size doesn't bother me, nor do large dolls creep me out in any way. It's the price that would deter me, and that I've never seen a doll over 80cm that appeals to me atheistically. Maybe I'm just dreaming of persocoms from Chobits...haha

      On the other end, I don't think I could go smaller than a Puki. xD I couldn't justify the price tag for something so small, and I'd lose it. It would fall behind a shelf or a desk and never be seen again. ;o; Little dolls are really cute though, just not for me. ^^;
       
    15. I'd love a life-size BJD!!! Then she could wear my clothes, it would be fun ^-^ I'm actually looking into the Paper Moon dolls right now (I know, they are not considered on topic here, so I'll say no more), the jointed ones, they are so cute! So far the biggest doll I have is a Feeple. I love the big sizes!

    16. Interesting topic... I thought it would be hard to have any doll bigger than an MSD! I can't imagine what life would be like with a life-sized doll "roommate". As for the little ones, they are adorable, but just too expensive for me, considering they would be harder to customize and handle in general. I had no idea bjds came in such a size range... you learn something new every day. ;)
       
    17. nu123- Ah... Well, I see that you've seen his actual BJD drying in the trees, but who you linked isn't a BJD! She's is his homeless lady project, who's made of Styrofoam and such, and she doesn't move... his BJD is a 'little match girl' and she looks quite sad...
      http://shotakotake.deviantart.com/gallery/24600843?offset=0#/d2olqeb there's the I think best shot of size comparison for her... though you can't see her much.
      But yes, I instantly thought of his works, as well Cx
       
    18. i like my dolls to look like they belong together, so if i had a huge doll it'd look like a scary giant next to my other dolls. this is why i wouldn't get something like lusion dahlia where it'd be like HUGE LITTLE GIRL COMING TO TERRORISE TINY 64CM BOYS. also why i wouldn't get a 5cm doll where it'd have to be a character like thumbelina or something. O_o i'm happy with my dolls looking like realistic children/adults in comparison to each other.
      of course if i had bought a huge or tiny doll first then i wouldn't want to buy "normal" size dolls because they wouldn't fit in with the doll i had. so then i'd have to keep buying huge/tiny dolls.
       
    19. I would feel really weird sharing clothes with a doll. *_*

      And, not wanting to sound offensive, but I can't think of someone sharing a room with a life-sized realistic doll without remembering of those "real dolls".
