Do you trust your doll to stand?

I only trust them to stand if they are on a stand and event hen I know things (aka cats or earthquakes (cuz I'm california)) can happen and knock the whole thing over. Most of my YOSD's stand pretty well on their own but my MSD's and SD's don't.

EDIT: My YOSD centaur is one of the only ones I leave standing freely on my bookshelf cuz she has 4 legs to keep her upright xD

 

Nah. Even if the doll managed to stay upright on its own, eventually one of my cats would punch it over.
I’ve used stands in the past but usually prefer chairs for display.

 

I trust my dolls to stand when I'm actively supervising them. I love taking freestanding photoshoots, and I find it lots of fun to get to know each doll's body, their weak points and stable points, and figure out how to coax them to stand in interesting poses without support. And the more I keep posing my dolls, the more confident I get about what kinds of poses they're able to hold with their jointing, weak points and stable points, etc, and how long they're likely to hold that pose. So yes, I trust my own ability to get my doll balanced and stable, but I need to always keep an eye on them.

If I'm not actively supervising and can't have eyes on them, I don't take risks - they will always lean against something or sit down.

My experience too.

 

I trust my doll to stand when I'm watching them. I live in a country that got small earthquake frequently, so it's not a good idea to leave your doll standing by him/herself alone when you are not nearby.

Without outer force like earthquake and strong wind. I think I can trust my doll to stand though... They are pretty well design and good at holding their pose. But since my place do have those outer force, they are allow to stand only while I'm around.

 

I could trust my Obitsu girl to stand until the end of days but I really doubt any of my other dolls could do it long-term.

 

My dolls stand like champs usually, but I would never leave them standing long term, and even with a doll stand, I'd be hesitant to keep them like that. I have on occasion left the room to grab something with them standing for short periods of time, but more than that, no.

 

One of my biggest newbie mistakes in 2020 was thinking my dolls would be able to stand on their own. It has worked multiple times but I’m sure they’ve fallen over more than enough times that now I just always use a stand for them regardless of how sturdy I think they are

 

Trust them to stand: many of them can stand when supervised for some photos, but some of mine are too unreliable. I have a rule of never standing further away than my arm is long, and many of my dolls would have met their end if not for fast reflexes. but my dolls end up pretty loosely strung and I have lived in many slanty shanties. There are so many factors. You can feel how stable a doll really is while you handle them I think.
I don't display anyone standing and am not planning to. For a couple years I had my obitsus standing on their magnetic stands, and then their ankles started to break from the stress so I threw in the towel... Standing is not for me to do with my dolls long term

 

I left one of my boys standing with a stand while I was sewing for him. He stood for 3 days and then fell over when I wasn't looking. He's not allowed to stand unattended at all anymore, stand or not!

 

I do not now ever since my favorite boy convinced me he could stand and proceeded to fall over so hard and loud my family members thought something crashed through the ceiling.

I’ve learnt to sadly make full use of doll stands and my own legs and toes as stabilizers for holding on to multiple dolls while photographing

 

most of my dolls are large size doll and they are too high to stand steady. Therefore I only left my dolls stand by himself when the floor is covered with carpet or other soft materials.

 

I do not trust soom and ip doll only!

 

I trust my doll to stand, but.. I'd get pretty uncomfortable if I had to stand for 8 hours, so I usually just let him stay comfy in my bed or something.

 

I would usually say it depends on the stringing and the sculpt, but I've got a couple with great joints that need to be restrung that can't even sit up, but they stand like rocks, so it's sure not just the stringing. I trust them to stand, just not quite well enough to leave them alone (but that's mostly my thing, they would probably be fine). So if they're good standers, it may be because they're sculpted well!

 

100%! If they fall, it is their destiny!

 

I absolutely do not trust my dolls to stand, especially the big ones. My ringdoll especially likes to.. fall (I even had him sitting on a horse and he still decided to go ??!) Even on his stand he sways heavily in his case I thought sueding his joints would help, but no. I have joint pads on order so I'm hoping they will help with my dolls lol.

 

No, I have them all sitting in a cabinet. I ordered a doll from Alice's Collection and they had a promotion on purchasing a discounted stand. It's currently on it's way. If I like it, I'll probably order more.

 

This whole topic has me wondering. Are our dolls just sleepy toddlers or the adorkable drunk types? Not many of us trust them to stand without supervison

 

My Resinsoul Ming stands really well for a doll with hooves, but his horns are heavy and leave him a little off balance depending on how he’s positioned. Sometimes he can barely keep his head up straight under the weight of the horns, no way I trust it not to tilt and send him toppling over! I really only stand him up for photos.

 

NO. WAY.
