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 prefer closed mouth or opened mouth?

Feb 25, 2018

    1. I get freaked out by teeth on some dolls. It used to be a huge no no for me but there are a couple of exceptions now... still more of a fan of closed mouth girls though.
       
    2. Honestly I really like both, teeth on some dolls are freaking adorable, gives them more character. And closed mouth faces are basically just natural expressions ^^
       
    3. I prefer closed mouths for sure. I'm not sure why, but I don't find seeing a doll's teeth as attractive on them?
      To each their own though, I suppose.
       
    4. I prefer closed mouth sculpts but I recently was able to adopt an Atelier Momoni Momoni (the MSD version) and was pleasantly surprised to see her with a toothy grin. I didn't mind and I find it endearing.

      Depends on the sculpt, I guess!
       
    5. I prefer closed mouth dolls, but it depends on how they look.
       
    6. I usually prefer closed mouths but there are really cute sculpts in open
       
    7. I really like slightly open mouths, I think it can give the doll a really unique, even dramatic expression. For male dolls, however, I’d prefer a closed mouth because I like them looking more serious and composed. :)
       
    8. For me, I tend to prefer closed mouth dolls aesthetically. But I can imagine myself getting an opened mouth doll if it fits the personality I come up with for a character. I do like some slightly opened mouth sculpts. However, I feel like a lot of larger opened mouth sculpts (like big grins or smiles) are “misses” for me and kind of go more towards uncanny valley which creeps me out.
       
    9. I like both! I do find the sculpts that look like they're screaming a bit much though.
       
    10. Both, I like having options. The more expression possibilities the better.
       
    11. I guess for me I like both, but I have yet to see one with a big grin I like. I think a little bit of open mouth is cute:3nodding:
       
    12. I really like the open mouth ones that have teeth and tongue parts, but I’m not a fan of the sculpts that just sort of have their lips parted for no particular reason. Still cute, but not my favorite.
       
    13. I prefer dolls with closed mouths, but I have two with an open mouth. I generally find dolls with teeth off-putting, since they tend to look unnatural and kind of creep me out.
       
    14. I think after months of looking at potential doll options, I've found that I prefer closed mouth more often than not, and that if it is open mouth, that it is very subtle. There is just something off about a wide open mouth remaining in a static position I suppose in my eyes.
       
    15. Personally I prefer closed mouth dolls unless it’s subtle. Idk why. I feel like if I had one with an open mouth I would constantly put my finger in there.

    16. I like closed or partially parted mouths with full lips. I love the lips on meadowdolls Elleki.
       
    17. generally i´d say i prefer closed mouths... but as always - it totally depends on the doll
       
    18. Opened mouth definitely! So much more expressive and interesting to look at ;)
       
    19. Open mouth!! I love little dollie teefs !! :aheartbea
       
    20. I think I prefer closed mouth BUT I have some exceptions. For example Volks Michele with open mouth and teeth... So gorgeous, I could have 10 like this.
