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.

    1. I prefer mature tinies for sure.
       
    2. I have both, and love both. They don't enter into the same stories, however....
       
    3. I adore children and babies:aheartbea I have a great many baby dolls and all the bjds I have and hope to have fall in that childlike category:D I have a very strong motherly instinct and I just want to surround myself with innocence. When it comes to more mature dolls, I look mostly for rounded faces reminiscent of that innocent childlike look.. Thats just where my heart is:)
       
    4. I said childlike, but I do have some more mature tinies in my collection. I love the kiddies though.
       
    5. Childlike for me !
       
    6. My first Bjd love was Min del re so that would suggest but I adore my childlike tinies like lati and puki to name but two. So I guess I am firmly on my fence.
       
    7. I prefer mature tinies. I love my child-like ones, like Hana Angel, but I do prefer the mature ones.
       
    8. I absolutely prefer childlike tinies.
       
    9. Both :) But I can't afford more dolls only felix baby is enough
       
    10. I like them all. As long as they pose well, they can be cute little babies (or chubby children) or curvy adults (though I would like to have some mature men to).
       
    11. I do not know much adult tinies! The only one I know is Limhwa for you..Or is it to you :S
       
    12. I second one of the earlier posts; I believe the childlike appearance looks more natural on tinies (especially the smaller ones) and puts them in better proportion with larger dolls. It seems more convenient to those, myself included, who view their dolls as a family of various ages.
       
    13. I voted for childlike, and I have no reasonable answer why! LOL! I just love the little ones for some reason, although I don't mind mature looking tinies either. I seem to prefer a childlike look.
       
    14. perhaps it's just me...but i think being tinies, they should be child-like...or else there is just something...inconsistent - their bodies and their faces...
       
    15. I prefer childlike, to me seeing a mature tiny is kind of odd, expecially if it is put up to a 70cm super dollfie. Plus tinies seem more like babies or toddlers to me...just adorable!
       
    16. I prefer mature-ish tiny dolls - I generally like mine in teenage to early adult. I prefer a more "fashion-doll" look. My favorite right now is Aren from Soom!

      I admit, I have a very hard time finding these, though. Most of the tinies seem to be more on the child-like side. (Happily, my daughter likes the child-like ones, lol!)
       
    17. I prefer Childlike with tiny body. ^^
       
    18. I voted: I don't really prefer one over the other. Depends of the character I buy one or another. For a mature character I'll put a tiny with a mature look or vice-versa.
       
    19. I prefer childlike tinies.. I have a mature tiny and she looks a little strange next to my MSD, who is less developed.. ^_^;
       
    20. I'm more of a childlike tiny fan, for a few reasons. One, mature tinies remind me too much of Barbies. Not that Barbies are bad, it's just that the resemblance makes the BJD-ness less special. Plus, the scale in proportion to bigger mature dolls is interesting. Perhaps for fantasy (fairies, imps, the like) a mature tiny is the best bet!
      Also, mature tinies just seem more frail to me, because of their long, thin limbs. It's alright on a larger doll because the sheer heft of the resin is stronger than the thin proportions needed for a tiny. Most of the childlike tinies I've seen are more squat and solidly built, so I'm far less frightened that I might damage them on accident.
      My two cents!
