Do you trust your doll to stand?

I feel insecure about letting them standing, so I keep them sit. When I got a glass cabinet, I used to imagine how cute they would look standing inside, but I don't trust them at all.
I used to let then sitting in my selves too, because my previous cat was very trustable, but the new one has a lot of energy, so I keep them safe and sit inside the cabinet.

 

not in the slightest, maybe its because we have kids and cats, but i know the MOMENT i remove their stand theyre going to bash their faces into the floor when im not home and ill come home to a doll on the floor that the cat ate half of ;_;

 

Depends on what kind of shoes they’re wearing. Otherwise I don’t really trust them to stand and stay up

 

No LOL but that's on me, everyone needs restringing...except for my Feeple girl, she just needs her foot magnet re-glued.

 

No never. At least not for more than a few minutes (under my supervision).

 

It’s not that I don’t trust it… It’s just that while I am using one, I also have “safety ropes” all across my shelf just in case…

 

For a few minutes under heavy supervision. Just to check if the doll is well-strung and is able to stand by itself. Then I simply get anxious and it goes back to sitting on the shelf lmao

 

He's not even here and I already don't trust him to not fall over.
It's just that trucks love to thunder down the road and create freaking earthquakes whenever they pass my home. I'm terrified he's gonna faceplant to the floor and break his face/fingers/whatever is fragile
So I already bought a stand for him, just to be certain.

 

As long as it's under my close supervision, yeah. But only for a few mins until fear takes over and either I sit them down, or secure them with a doll stand.

 

Absolutely not unless the doll is leaning against a wall or similar hard surface. Maybe I'll let a doll be freestanding for the amount of time it takes to snap a photo or go "Look! She's standing!", and even then, I'm at the ready to swoop in with a catch.

 

My MiniFee can stand for a few seconds if she's leaning on something, but definitely not while on her own.

 

No, but that doesn’t stop me from posing her walking down a log in the forest… that’s stretching a yard off the ground (in my defense there was like 3” of leaves and another 3” of moss so I was pretty confident nothing was getting broken if she did tumble).

It’s mostly because the elastic in these dolls is susceptible to outside influences (let’s just say) and therefore it’s pretty expected for it to snap and reposition even the most well-strung doll. And there’s usually a lot of weight in the head - eyes, putty, wigs + thick resin, so that just creates opportunities for falls. Don’t think I’d ever display them without a very sturdy stand.

 

I've been astounded with how well my Atelier Momoni Momonita stands. But I wouldn't keep her that way just to be safe.

 

Yes, but only ones that have sufficient tension and they're all still slightly leaned back against the wall. I'm more comfortable with letting 1/6 dolls stand on their own but 1/4 dolls need to be backed against something even if they're fine standing on their own.

 

My dolls are well strung, and they will stand without issues most of the time… but I would never leave them that way unless I was sitting right by them. It doesn’t take much to knock them over, and I would be gutted if they were to fall off a table/shelf/whatever and end up with damage. They cost far too much not to err on the side of caution.

 

Depends on the doll! My Minisup Hannah? Absolutely not. She is a great sitter but it's terrible trying to get her to stand properly without being propped on something. My Withdoll boy stands great, as does my Raccoon Doll/Doll Leaves hybrid, especially if they have shoes on. My minifees are decent stander's as well.

 

I'm too afraid to let my dolls stand for a lengthy period of time Aside from letting them stand for a few minutes in a photoshoot, I usually have them sitting on a chair or being propped up by a stand.

 

No. My doll can stand sold on their own very well, until I accidently knock him over and scare the hack out of me! He's fine but it did scuff his face up a bit and never again. My babies is either sitting or on a stand.

 

I do not trust my dolls to stand for long periods of time. I don't trust my DC Y-body 04 to stand at all I do trust my others to be able to stand for a picture, but I do not store them standing.

 

NOPE, I'm clumsy enough and we have two cats so everybody who isn't sitting is on a stand.
