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.

Doll Recommendations?

Jan 8, 2013

    1. Edit: So I was browsing around looking at dolls last night and decided to see what Iplehouse has been up to since I left the hobby...holy crap, when did they get so awesome??? Their JIDs are amazing, and it was love at first sight when I clapped eyes on Leona! She has so much character! Better yet she's cheaper than a minifee with even more skin color options. Time to start saving up lol. Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I found my girl!

      So I've been out of the doll hobby for awhile, but I'm slowly starting to inch my way back in I think. That being said, I'm looking for a doll recommendation. I'm a huge fan of Fairyland dolls, but they're a bit pricey for my pocket at the moment, particularly since I'm not sure I'll stick with the hobby again or not.
      So, that being said, does anyone have any recs for mini sized dolls that are petite and relatively affordable (cheaper than a mnf anyways)? I am looking for something petite and sort of frail looking, like the chic-line dolls from Fairyland, ideally.
      Any suggestions? I'm open to any company so long as they have that sort of look to them.

    2. I take it that you are looking into girls then? (petite?)
      I don't know about affordable, but have you looked into the loongsoul girls? I just got one and she has really slender and elegant hands and overall is rather nice to look at.
      Or try looking into only-doll. They certainly are affordable and are really nice to look at. Or you could check if Dikadoll has anything for you.

      I'd suggest giving a bit more info for what exactly you are looking for?
      Maybe what kind of girl you are looking for or what your favourite FL mold is, or which skin color you'd like...

    3. So you're looking for a slim mini that's not as expensive as Fairyland?
