Dolls You Love But Will Never Own

1/3 size and up, i come from fashion dolls and anime figures and anything above 1/4 scale is just too big for my preferences (and space)! love the look of the big dolls, but thinking about where to put one or moving it is like ????

 

Totally get it! I'm working on a diorama for them and it will take up practically half of my room. About how is to move a big doll, It's almost like holding a toddler in my arms xD
But they are really gorgeous and it's hard to give them up once you had one.

 

That big bara tiddies doll from T&D, Spy Ah Fu.
I can never figure out how to style male dolls and I think my husband might find him disturbing. It took him long enough to warm up to the girls... I can't imagine he'd react well to the big big chungus staring him down in our bedroom, especially if I can't come up with any way to dress him

 

For me, that would probably be 1/6 and below? Those tiny dolls just give me the impression of being children's toys? Not that they are, but hey just give me the vibe that they are. On top of that, most of the dolls in this size are either girls or very young boys and while I can appreciate the craftsmanship it's not something for me. Also their clothing options look like they're more for fashion dolls which is just not my thing. So I have a tendency to avoid looking at these sizes.

 

Sounds like fun! I will need to work out more on the gym to walking with one of my dolls in each arm

 

The Loongsoul fantasy dolls. They're too expensive for me and too big to put anywhere, but so gorgeous, so I just dream about owning them.

 

I didnt even know this boi existed! Hes so AMAZING, i would LOVE to get him but omg i looked at the 72cm (i love huge dolls) and hes 2k+ TToTT!! Definitely a "if i win the lottery what doll would i get with my sack of nickles" doll!

 

I feel kind of the same way. I've always admired SOOM's Idealean boys (75cm and 72cm sized), but even though I love their sculpts and their bodies, I know I won't be able to get used to their sizes. I already think regular SD sized dolls are big, I'm not sure I would be able to handle even bigger dolls. Thats why I love mature MSDs like Iplehouse F.I.D, Raccoon Doll or SartoriaJ dolls.

I also know I will definitly never be able to own my two favourite fullsets from Volks (Creamy Mami and Suigintô), but that's more of a money related matter

 

This is how I decided to get my first SD- I was visiting a friend and she gave me her SD to hold. It felt so good. I carried it around while we made coffee and chatted. I decided in that moment I needed one!

 

Sio2 Ragdoll, her line has been discontinued but I’ve always thought she was very beautiful and I regret missing out.

 

Lillycat. I LOVE their sculpting, but hate their bodies and limited mobility.

 

I’m in love with some of the 1/3 sculpts but will probably never buy any 1/3 dolls. Simply don’t have enough space in the apartment to store or display 1/3 dolls properly

 

Most of the Soom dolls.
I keep going back to their website to drool at all the pretty pictures and dream of a life with all the money and all the space XD
They don't give me the same feeling as the dolls I own and the dolls on my wishlist though, so I'm gonna save my money and just stick to looking.

 

Soul Zenith Shiva! Looks amazing and I love the arms, but way out of my price range!

 

I had a Saint hybrid and regret his loss a lot but will probably never own another. Ditto my Ringdoll Frankenstein's Monster and Ringdoll Edward who were also hybrids. Iplehouse Luo, also a grail doll but way above my budget for a doll. I have a couple of minis and I'm working on a LLT Roderich head lay-a-way which was pure serendipity me finding him cheap as I could have never afforded him otherwise.

I'm just not in a position to afford very many dolls these days, particularly SD sized dolls, even hybrids. I plan on hybriding two, a boy and a girl eventually but that will be it. I can't afford to do more. Just buying Roderich's head and finding him a cheap body will likely take me a few months. Ditto the girl when her time comes. But these days Roderich is my holy grail doll. I just loved him on sight and I will eventually have him together one way or the other even if it means eating a lot of Ramen. :P

 

I felt in love at first sight when I saw Idelian Hyperon, and he ended up being my first doll.
So I'm kind the opposite of you... I ended up not getting used to smaller dolls

 

Honestly for me it has to be any centaur doll. I just don’t think I have what it takes for it like how would I even dress and style them. I honestly find myself liking the concept and pictures of em more than anything but never really thought of owning one.

 

Anything larger than 1/4 scale dolls or statues. Great to look at and maybe a little envious for those that do, but I have no space for it and I like to display my collectibles uncluttered, like how a museum displays a collection. This also helps me spend less and/or lets me buy something more expensive.

 

I remember the old Soom Monthly Limited dolls that were so beautiful (first releases of Sard, Beryl, Onyx, etc), but will just stick to longingly staring at them because 1. They were so expensive back then and 2. Limited edition, and were already long gone.
