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.

Buying a Doll Because of Fetish

May 12, 2010

    1. Well, this is embarrassing, lol, but actually I bought a doll to work with because he strongly reminds me of a guy, an actor, I have a huge crush on and who's work I like. I'm definitely not going all erotomania about it, but still I really like this guy's looks and I am definitely using him as a model for this doll. It's no worse than buying a celebrity Minimee head I guess, but I never really planned to have a doll that looks like a real person. In this case I am actually modeling the doll on him playing a particular historical character so it's not entirely him but I admit if I ever did meet the guy and he saw it? I'd have to blush and fess up to using him as the model because there would be no way to deny it... ;) He'd know right off that I have a huge crush on him and likely I'd just about sink into the floor with embarrassment.
       
    2. I have a "fetish" with realistic doll bodies. I'm buying a spiritdoll smart Snowdrop because of this. I would really love if I could get a more realistic face, but her face works perfectly with the character i'm thinking of. I hate the barbie-doll like unrealistic bodies I've seen out there for a lot of dolls. I love the spiritdoll bodies. I love detail, so I guess that would be my fetish.
       
    3. My fetisch are definitively horn parts on dolls, demon parts and elf ears. And what a also like are half open eyes. I love headmolds which are looking kind of bored.
       
    4. Very masculine looking sculpts draw my eye very quickly. Strong jawlines, some on females and definitely on males just are so appealing to me in a huge sea of anime esc dollies that I cant help but want them! I also really love thicker body types for girl dolls.
       
    5. HOOVES!!!
      Any doll with hooves is an instant attraction for me.
      They just look so cute!!!! Also wings are a pretty good deal breaker~
       
    6. I have a fetish with expressions, big hands and realistic dolls ;D
       
    7. I love dolls with nice hands ^^ I also find doll feet really adorable for some reason...
       
    8. I'm not sure if it's really a fetish but I like skinny dolls, with stylised proportions. Like DC kids, for example. Also, I agree, that hands are important. And joints. I like nice joints. If joints are not nice I can refuse buying a doll.
       
    9. Girly-boy dolls. Oh my gosh, I am in love with boy dolls who wear dresses and skirts and look cute and feminine while still being boys! Case in point: Army-of-me's Dollspirit Hoya is a boy who always wears cute little girl clothes! I just love androgyny :XD:
       
    10. I'm going to get Venitu simply because I'm in love with his hands. I don't care about the face, I don't have a character for him either. I guess I'll just sit there with him in my little zen zone and stare at those fingers. Yep.
