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.

Creating a doll based off a video game character?

Dec 17, 2015

    1. Wow!! There seems to be a lot of posts! And all the dolls on here look amazing!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas, everyone!! :D
       
    2. I have plans to make the lovely spidery miss Muffet from Undertale~ >w> I've posted about it on my tumblr before but basically I'm seeking to mod Doll Chateau's newest kid girl body to accommodate for her six arms and a minifee vampire Woosoo head to have five eyes! xD I am also trying to put together a Frisk cosplay (also from Undertale) for my Harucasting Adori.

      And then there's Selene who's basically turning into Monoyoshi Sadamune from Touken Ranbu the longer I play with him... xP;;;
       
    3. Oooh I can't wait for your Muffet doll @Soenatte! She is going to be so cute! <3
      Well hang in there @Rhys, hopefully he will come across your path!
      @Osaka If you do get to make a Bayonetta doll, are you going to do both/multiple outfits, or just one version?

    4. I posted here earlier but I forgot about the Hazama from Blazblue doll I'm working on. So far I have the head and wig. I should make a project journal to inspire me to finish him.
       
    5. Like VV, I also made resin versions of several of my City of Heroes MMO characters... my favorite tank (Palrah) and the pair in my avatar picture (Kestrel and Cardinal). They're IpleHouse EIDs... an Akando, a Bibiane and a Tedros.

      I also ended up with LittleFee kid/chibi versions of them, along with a favorite NPC from the game (That would be Im, my half-pint version of Scirocco-), and two of their friends (Shade in Shadow and Mist in Moonlight, my darkest stalker and brightest peacebringer-).

      It was fun putting all of them together, especially the chibis. My next project will be turning a Volk Kiriko into still another of the gang... My Appalachian "gentleman monster", Shonokin.
       
    6. @Soenatte yes! All of my favourite Undertale characters will be made into dolls, I can't wait for the pics of Muffet and Frisk that are soon to come :thumbup
       
    7. @Soenatte I can't wait to see your Muffet. She is one of my favorite character designs of all time.

      Other dolls I would love to see would be Commander Shepard and any Silent Hill monsters. I think their creepy designs would translate well to the BJD world.
       
    8. It would definitely have to be Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara. I wouldn't know what head mold to choose, maybe Switch and on the 65 cm body. His accessories would be a pain to make and acquire though.
       

    9. I also don't have any dolls yet, and I honestly don't have OC's that I'd like to shell, either. But, I am thinking that one of my dolls will be a mish-mash of some of my favorite characters from various medias. The other will just be his own thing, but I'm trying my best to characterize him because that'll make it easier to pick out clothes.
       
    10. This Aoba is beyond beautiful! You did an amazing job!
       
    11. I'd want a Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening myself :) I've actually started collecting bits and things (like trim and clasps) to make a Chrom costume with in the future. I'm not really experienced with making BJD clothes but I figured this could be a fun project/learning experience!
       
    12. @Nyxy -- Oh, she would have so many clothes. I don't have any va-va-voom ladies to sew for, so any and all outfits would be up for contention.

    13. My girl Lilith is loosely based off of Lilith from The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth. She's a gothy demon girl and she has red hair and I'm going to be making her horns to match the character soon! :)
       
    14. @glowdeer, you got me there! Red with her transistor and a little sister?! These would be amazing! And a Big Daddy for the sister would be even more fantastic, not sure one would need a real BJD for him though ;)

      Bioschock Infinite characters have always been sources of inspiration for me, too! I'd love to have an Elizabeth, with all her outfits from different decades... And wouldn't Luteces be adorable, too! A brother and sister from the same sculpt ;) The clothes and accessories would be a real challenge though...
       
    15. Oooh I would vote all the outfits and both wigs @Osaka ! The glasses might be tricky and all the charms though. I really want to see it now! XD
      I would love to see a little sister doll especially out of all the BioShock characters <3 Gotta love cute AND creepy!
       
    16. I would really love Yuna, Rikku, and Paine from FFX-2. I am not a skilled seamstress, though, so it seems like a really unlikely dream. I'd love to have Kairi and Namine from Kingdom Hearts, too.
       
    17. I am definitely going to be making whatever male I end up getting a Link cosplay because the Legend of Zelda game series is one of my absolute favorites!
