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.

Do you guys know any brands that make peculiar-looking dolls?

Jul 5, 2024

    1. I am talking fantasy, or with stylized proportions. Not fantasy as in elves, vampires or cat people, but something that goes the extra mile. Some examples I know of are Coral Reef, Dream Valley and Doll Zone, they make some very peculiar dolls!
       
    2. Doll Chateau is my own favorite for that sort of look.

    3. I would say Meeksdoll but they do have some sculpts with elf ears. But their noses are pretty unique too.
       
    4. Miracledoll makes some very cool dolls and also seconding Meeksdoll <3

    5. D.Lace's creations are quite special, especially the Ex Machina dolls.

    6. I came here to say Doll Chateau as well.

    7. Birdcube, but it's the spooky kind of peculiar.

    8. Kaniboom makes some very interesting and cute fantasy anthro dolls, like a stitched-up bunny! Forest Doll also makes dolls with some wacky proportions.

    9. I second D. Lace!
      Bloodwood dolls can also be pretty interesting, too.

    10. Some EU and Russian dollmakers do weird and wonderful non-humanoid creatures. I particularly love Akhmel Dolls. There's also Solar Wind and Mewiefish.

    11. I second Mewiefish, artist behind Creatures dolls. Her dolls are super unique fantastical beings. I got a Absinthe recently and adore her. I'm also a fan of Dream Valley. They've done some creative fantasy/humans like the dragon/human dolls.

    12. Nothing Sapiens (especially the Tamikan Space and INO lines) has some great sculpts! They're all limited, so you'd need to either wait for a preorder to open or track one down secondhand, but they're gorgeous weird little dolls I've admired for years. I finally got my hands on a secondhand INO and she'll be home soon!
       
    13. Oh my gosh, yes! Anna Ergova immediately comes to mind. She makes some incredible stuff.

      Also Trey Gegenfu. His stuff is like a Silent Hill nightmare, really crazy and wonderful.
