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.

Severe ongoing issues and concerns with Dollshe Dollshe Ban

Do you only like 'anime' style BJDS or more real-life human styled BJDs?

    1. I myself prefer realistic sculpts... such as elfdoll's vivien.. =P luv her so much... but I also would like to have a doll with stylized face... but on the other hand, I think different face ups can give the doll completely different appearance ^^

    2. As much as I love anime I don't like more anime styled dolls, if I wanted something anime like I would collect anime figures. Sounds weird I guess but that is how it works in my head

    4. Theres a limit to how 'cartoony' I like a doll, if its anime cartoony.
      I don't want a doll that looks super anime, because translating an anime style into 3d looks very strange to me.

    5. I gear more towards the anime version dolls. I think its because I associate with bigger eyes with cute and innocent. and (no offense) but the realist ones kind of scare me.

    6. I like both styles. But, on the anime side, I definitely prefer the DDs that have more defined features. Rise is a perfect example of this.

    7. in between i think... i don't like dolls that look totally like anime (the reason why i don't like DDs) but i don't like dolls that look too realistic either...

      i like them to have some detailed features, but not too much like real people.

    8. I think I like the human like the most, because I'm already collecting anime figures, so I like that my bjds are different than my anime figures in more ways than just that they are more poseable :P
      But I'm waiting for two dolls I'm going to turn into anime characters, just with a more realistic look, like how they would look if they were human. ^^
      And I'm having a third doll I'm going to make into a dreamworks character (Baby Tooth from ROTG), but I like my dolls to be more human like, because I find them more beautiful ^^

    9. Personally I love human-styled BJDs. Well, they are unique and lifelike, I would feel the bonding better ;)

    10. I dislike the dolls that look exactly like real people, because that takes away a certain aspect of the doll for me. Most of my pleasure comes from looking at my dolls, if they were life-like I would just look at pictures of pretty people.
      I'm more interested in the beautiful, mature ones. However, I want exaggerated features, such as a small nose, perky lips, and larger eyes.
      In the future, I would like to have one or two anime-style dolls, but I'm actually not incredibly fond of "cute" dolls.

    11. there are some dolls that I like that are anime-styled and some that I like that are realistic
      but I prefer a combination of both features on dolls

    12. I like both for variety is the spice of life right? :kitty2

    13. I am a newer collector and find myself drawn to the more real-life human style bjd.
       
      #413 Sueblue, Jan 27, 2013
    14. I like both. I like the anime style because I'm highly into anime and I love that kind of style. I like the more realistic side to them because that kind of style can make them more unique and different. Anime style I tend to see repetition in faces while the more realistic looking dolls have more of a difference in thier faces.:)

    15. I like inbetween up to realistic. I don't like DDs, but I like more stylized dolls than the super realistic ones, though, I wouldn't say no to a realistic doll...

    16. i knew about bjd from watching an anime when i was young and i loved how they mixed dolls and anime together to create this interesting theme. so i would say i love dolls that has a slight anime feature to them :)

    17. I love Anime-styled bjds :) with a mature looking face (but not realistic)
       
      #417 Ammoona, Jan 28, 2013
    18. i like the realistic sculpts way better. i love anime and i still watch it to this very day, but i like my dolls to look more like a real person than an anime character. honestly i find the anime looking bjds creepy, and this is coming from someone that also collects anime figures.

    19. Seemingly I like the anime-styled dolls better (sculpt wise). And maybe it's because I don't want my dolls to look like real life mini humans. Don't get me wrong, there are very lovely human like dolls! But I'm somewhere in between. I do like that fact that my dolls have semi realistic face ups. Soms of them are actually based on humans. But I also do like fact that I can pick out every type of hairstyle for them ;) And that I don't have to worry about soming not being human-like.

    20. I personally prefer my dolls to have more realistic features, but there are a lot of anime-styled dolls which I really admire too ^_^
