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 have a favorite BJD size?

Aug 27, 2021

    1. I have BJD’s in all sizes, but I really love 1/3 the best. I think it is because the fashions and boots are so much more realistic and detailed.

    2. I have many sizes from 1/8 scale up. But my favorite will always be the 1/3 70cm+ boys

    3. 1/4 is a perfect size for me, but i notice that clothes for 1/6 are so cute and easier to find. I might start looking at dolls in that size.
       
    4. I love the 30-40 cm size, especially with an adorably large head! The "too tall to be 1/6 but too short to be 1/4" just works the best for me, because it's still large and hefty like a resin doll, but portable enough that it's easy to store and transport. Large heads leave lots of room for fancy eyes, hair and face-ups like a bigger doll too.

    5. I own two dolls in 1/4 and 1/6.
      My favourite size is 1/4 though: not too big, not too small. Would love to purchase 1/3 one day, but I feel slightly intimidated by this size :XD:
      Also noticed that I start to gravitate towards 1/6 from time to time after not interacting with 1/4 for a while. (Although I have some other 1/6 dolls which are not BJDs, so that might be affecting the preference as well)
       
    6. Larger dolls feel more "alive" to me and interact better with human-sized objects (even if they're still relatively small..). I'll always prefer SD sized dolls for that reason.

    7. Seeing a lot of people say 1/4 which I have to agree with. It's the perfect middle ground between large and small for me. I get scared thinking about getting dolls that are even bigger!! I just wish it was easier to find more mature 1/4 sculpts.. They always look a touch too youthful for a lot of my characters.
       
    8. I have multiple sizes, but I think my go to now is 1/3! I think that size is really the perfect one for me.:aangel:

    9. I love the little ones, MSD is about as big as I would go!
       
    10. 1/4 definitely. Best size for handling and displaying, imo!
       
    11. I love 75cm+.. you get so much more detail and they just have a bigger presence with a more mature look. I also love the heavier weight. What I hate about big dolls though is finding a good stand :roll:

    12. I have 1/4 dolls but I'm waiting on a 1/6 one now, and can't wait to play around with different props at that size. I've always been a fan of miniatures and Rement stuff so the 1/6 size really appeals to me. Plus they're so darn cute!
       
    13. 1/4 is a sure favorite, although my favorite doll is a 1/6. I was initially on the 1/6 and 1/12 sizes only, but as I got my first 1/4 doll, I realized I like this size a lot more as well as being enamored by other dolls of 1/4 size. It's a pretty versatile size since it's big enough to feel a strong character for me but also small enough for outings. I do have a 1/3 head meant for 65 cm+ bodies, but I would rather use it for something else other than as a doll since I think a 1/3 doll is too large, especially when they go beyond 60 cm, as well as being too unwieldy. But watch me go back on this since this was my initial reaction to 1/4 dolls. :XD:
       
    14. I have dolls of all sizes; big 70+cm SSDs, down to 3-4 cm micros. My favorite size though I think are Pukipuki size.
       
    15. I started with 1/3, simply because I fell in love with a particular doll. Now with more doll options on the market, and better understanding on what's available and after trying out 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6, I'm only keeping 1/6 with more or less grown up body proportions. Big dolls didn't really work for me, I'm only comfortable handling small dolls and it is easier to craft for them too.
       
    16. My collection spans the size spectrum, from tinies to 70+ cm. I am partial to dolls of 1/3 scale and up in size, and MSDs are a close second favorite. I think I am happy with the selection of tinies I have now and doubt I will be looking to get any more.
       
    17. SD and MSD♡
       
    18. My favorite size is the classic 1/3 size such as volks SD10-13 (the most concise example) but as a very close follower I really like dolls slightly smaller, such as Obitsu 48/50 and SQ lab which has a body the same size (listed as sg53) as well as classic MSD. The 50cm size is mostly just longer in the legs. I like these all very much and the ones in between them. Bigger and smaller I like way less.
       
    19. 1/3 and up. Because I love more mature faces. Drawback is they are sooo heavy and occupies a lot of spaces.
       
    20. The more I spend with my big babies, the more I like them. They're so cute and pudgy. <3
