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 chose mini as I have 2 in that size range with a third one on layaway, but I just recently got a large one and I'm in love with her size! I will definitely be getting more of the large dolls, I was afraid of their size before :XD:.

      I'm not a fan of tinies it seems, as I got my mimi chu but realized the size is too small for me to enjoy her, which is odd as I used to collect and still own Pullip dolls:roll:.
       
    2. I like minis as well, they are the perfect size to hold in my opinion lol Large dolls are just too big for me

    3. Well… I chose large dolls because that’s all I own! I find the large dolls perfect and satisfying to hold lol
       
    4. I really like all sizes of dolls, but I think I'll probably only ever own one or two SD sized dolls because they take up so much space. It feels like I can justify owning a lot of little dolls more :XD:
       
    5. I wasn't expecting to love my 1 / 3's as much as I do, but there's just something about them that is perfect. I like the weight, I like that I can buy realistic accessories, I like the detail.. I love everything but the price LOL, so I won't be getting too many. I do have some 1 / 6 's that I also love, but they're the same size as all my non-BJD's and just sort of... blend in and feel less special.
       
    6. I mostly own large dolls, from 54 to 72cm, with a majority of 56-62. I prefer the presence and the heaviness of large dolls.

    7. I like all sizes, but I collect more small and mini dolls as they are my favorites.

    8. My collection is half minis, half tinies. Though if I had to pick one size I would keep my minis. They are easier to sew & knit for. I might try an SD again but I'm still deciding.
       
    9. 10000% tiny for me. *_* I love BJDs, but after the couple I'm waiting on right now finally arrive, I think I'm done collecting anything larger than like a mature tiny. 1/3 was way too large for me. 1/4 is fine, but I'm dreading figuring out how I'll arrange three 1/4 dolls once I have all of mine home (a problem for future me haha). I think for future BJDs, I'll stick to 1/6 and smaller.
       
    10. my favourite BJD size is large SD or "uncle" sized 68-75cm is the perfect range for me, i own a couple of minis that i love but only plan to buy one more and i own a single 30cm who will one day have a twin but hats just cos a adore the sculps the size really isn't for me.
      i could never buy a doll under 20cm though they cost so much for being so tiny lol

    11. I have a majority of minis, but more and more I find myself drawn toward mature tinies. They're easy to carry around and make stuff for... But then there are a lot of fun sculpts in mini size, so I do love those too.

      Anythint bigger than minis isn't for me. I have exactly one SD and I love her but she's hard to play with, and so are my partner's dolls which are mostly SD. That's just too heavy for me, and you can't just drop a doll that size in your bag and go.

    12. I like large the best- I just think it’s the easiest to be creative for me :3nodding:

    13. Small dolls! The two I have are about 25 cm tall. Almost all of my dolls are in 1:6 scale which I'm most comfortable with. I had both SDs and MSDs in the past but I would struggle with their size, they would feel too bulky.

    14. My favourite size at the moment is SD10-13; 65cm and taller are too big and heavy for me, and dolls under 50cm don't give this kind of substantial feeling when you hold them. I do own a couple of MSDs though, probably more to come, and two little dragons. I'm tempted by tinies too, and, although I'm worried that I won't like playing with them that much, I'm going to buy some~

    15. I like the beeg dolls. My only bjd at the moment is a 70cm Doll Chateau boy and I love how substantial and weighty he feels to hold despite being a skinny DC boy. I feel like he has a ~presence~ my smaller off-topic dolls just can't match, no matter how much I love those too. It makes him a really fun subject to pose and photograph as well.

      I'm still fairly new to the hobby though, so I'm still looking into different doll sizes. I think I do want an MSD at some point, although right now all my dolly-buying impulses are telling me to get another beeg boi(I really want an Idealian...):whee:

      The only doll size I'm pretty sure about not wanting are the smaller tinies- I just tend to lose track of dolls/toys/figures that are too small and I don't like how overly fragile and fiddly some dolls that size can feel.

    16. I really like large dolls since I find them easier to play with and handle, I am interested in minis because of they wouldn’t take up as much space. For now I’ll stick to my large dolls!
       
    17. I like having a range of sizes but I usually gravitate towards larger dolls. I've owned YOSD sizes and smaller but they haven't stuck with me. I guess I feel like I'm getting more for my money with a larger doll. My smaller dolls don't go below 44cm at present.

    18. I like doll with yosd and msd sizes:3nodding: I started collecting 1/6 scale dolls first, mainly because they are easier to handle (lighter weight) and there are A LOT of outfit choices. but then I found out there are some great msd sized sculpts that I just can't resist. Many yosds are molded in a childlike way with chubby faces, which I still like a lot; but I do want more diversity in my crew. so I'm planning to buy some msds in the near future. I just don't click with larger dolls over 45cm at present. I love to appreciate what my friends are using to style their larger dolls, and all the pics they took...but that doesn't mean I want one for myself.
       
    19. Mini is my comfort zone-- given I've got a regular, a slim, and two fashion scale minis right now, as well as a head for a mini I'm hoping to get a body for... though I guess I have almost as many tinies as minis, and my off-topic/non resin dolls I tend to favor anthro tinies.

      I'd love one, maybe two really big dolls someday, but only when I have a space to keep/display them, and they'd definitely have to have one outfit each and not get out as much. I'm a short guy with a bad back and chronic fatigue, so no matter how my collection expands over the years, it's going to focus on the smaller sizes just because they're so much easier to wrangle.
       
    20. I prefer mini and tiny, but I've only recently bought tiny ones because that's the only size my bookcase can handle. :sweat
