Do you trust your doll to stand?

I have two dolls that are solid standers, but I would never leave them standing without some sort of solid stand. You never know when something could bump your doll, or bump the surface they are on, and I couldn't take that kind of risk.

 

Totally depends on the doll, some of mine stand very solidly and others won't do it at all. But I'd never leave a doll standing out of my sight for long, lol! If they're good standers, I'll leave them up as long as I'm nearby. cx

 

My dolls are almost always in their boxes or sitting in my closet, away from my cats and dogs. I don't trust certain dolls to stand in general because I know they are not going to stay up, but I may stand another if I feel brave. I would never leave a doll standing unattended without a stand to support it though, because you never know what could happen! Any bump or movement could knock it over and BAM, face cracked! Where I live, we have earth quakes very often (so often, one may happen and my friend and I might not even pause or notice it) so I feel like I have to be especially careful!

 

Sometimes, my doll falls down due to the stand :c and there are some times my cat would jump on the table and sit in the middle of it, making my doll to fall down. unu

Now, I usually let them just sit on my table ovo since it's more convenient and safer that way!

 

My dolls are all on stands from Dollmore when they're stored in the cabinet. Many of them stand pretty well, but I wouldn't trust them for extended periods.

 

many of my dolls stand well but I always stand them with them leaning slightly back so they are touching the wall. Once that are not solid standers sit. I have never had a doll fall over with the standing leaning back a bit (knee not bent at all).

 

My doll stands great, but I wouldn't leave her standing unattended. I have cats that jump all over the place so that can be a disaster. I either have her sit, or I place her in a doll stand, which is the best thing I've ever bought, I freaking love that thing haha

 

I trust my dolls to stand, their stance is pretty solid, but I honestly don't trust myself or my boyfriend NOT to slightly bump into the dresser when getting stuff from the drawers ^^' - so all bigger dolls have stands to support them.

 

I would never leave my dolls standing unattended unless they were on a very soft surface, like my bed or a thick carpet etc. It's not because I don't trust them to stand, but because anything can happen and I'd rather not risk damage.

I definitely didn't used to have this mentality though. I used to leave them standing on my desk when I went to college or on a bench in the garden when i went in to get a drink. But then at a meet, surrounded by doll lovers who all jumped to get him, by boy who was posed just for a photo, got blown over onto concrete. Luckily the damage was minimal for the fall and surfaces but it was still enough to make me think twice about leaving unattended dolls even if they're sturdy.

 

my resin no I don't. my smart doll is the only one because she is able to stand with no problem and if she does fall she wont break. I made a bed and they all sit on it in my cabinet

 

No, I wouldn't trust them to stay standing and when I have display cases for them they'll all have stands. Some stand pretty decent, but you never know when something will shift ever so slightly and cause them to fall. I had an Optimus Prime figure standing on top of my dresser for two years when randomly one night he fell and his leg busted. He was an anniversary figure made with metal parts so he didn't land so gracefully. I would never put my BJDs in that situation after having that happen

 

No, especially not a resin one! I once left my vinyl doll standing on a table and it didn't take too long for her to fall off.. luckily no harm done.

 

No. Ever since we had a really bad thunderstorm that physically shook the house, took down a shelf of BJD in my doll room, and resulted in knocking a good amount of them over, it is imperative for my own peace of mind that they are secure either with a good doll stand or are already sitting. I have good solid standers but you can't control external forces.

 

Yes, but I'd rather have them sitting, just to be safe.

 

I absolutely trust them to stand while I take pictures, but I wouldn't put them on a shelf then leave.
sometimes they stand solidly for several minutes then suddently collapse, seemingly without reason. But we have to remember that the elastic is always pulling on them and so the joints probably continue to move a fraction of a militer every minute or so, until it's moved a bit too much to hold its pose anymore.

 

No, I would always hold his back... He has fallen down for several times and it scared me.

 

Absolutely not! The only ones who get left "standing" are the AD dragons who have basically no difference between standing and sitting, and the FL hippogriff, who is very stable... And he still sits more often than not.

 

I've left my Loongsoul girl standing unaided for months. She's a rock. I feel a little bit like I'm playing with fire there but she's the only one that I can confidanty leave standing unaided. The rest of my dolls, I do leave standing but generally close to a wall and only for photo shoots.

 

Some of my dolls are very sturdy and will stand like a rock, others take a ton of fussing and silent prayer and even then will only stand for a brief amount of time but I wouldn't leave ANY of my dolls standing unattended. There's no reason to take that kind of risk, there's no benefit in it and the doll is almost certain to fall eventually (especially if you have pets, kids, or other people in the house). There were a lot of stories back in the day of people thinking it was safe to leave their dolls standing on a table or shelf or whatever only to have the doll fall and break their fingers/nose/ears/whatever. I don't know how common that is these days but when I'm not doing anything with them, my dolls sit.
