Dolls You Love But Will Never Own

I've seen plenty of 1/3 dolls that I think look beautiful but I know it wouldn't work out if I bought them. Every now and then I look at Ringdolls Comic version Hua Cheng but I can't see myself paying the price tag. I'm pretty content with looking from a far. Outside of that, I also really liked Dream of Doll Sha, but its really unlikely I'll be able to get him even second hand.

 

I would have to say any of the Heaven officials blessing Ringdolls. I'd love to own the pair. But way out of my budget.

 

Most dolls smaller than an SD. I think a lot of them are incredibly cute...and sometimes I've even considered it but usually end up talking myself out of it haha.
Also a lot of Angell Studio fullsets...man they're beautiful but out of my budget. I'd need to fall head over heels in order to justify it to myself.

 

I love Dollzone X-NANA and all the ExMachina dolls by Dlace, but I think that's too elaborate for me... I would end up standing those dolls somewhere in the fullset and not doing much at all. I love deertaurs, half-spiders, pet dolls, but what I want to buy in the end is standard humans.
Also lots of 1/4 dolls... So many times I wish I could have a 1/4 sculpt in 1/3 size.

 

Pretty much every Dream of Doll sculpt. I was obsessed with them in middle school, when I first discovered BJDs, but my taste has changed so much now. I still love seeing photos of them, especially owner photos, but I know that's absolutely not what I'm interested in anymore.

 

Literally any Dollshe… maybe second hand one day but I sorta lost hope. Especially with all the current events.

 

Seconding the love for ExMachina DLace. I *drooled* over the guy in the worst way. Then I went: Nope. Nope. and NOPE. I would break his parts in two seconds.

 

SD sized dolls! I really love some of the SD sculpts of Peaks Woods and Fairy Land, I adore the more mature facial details. But I owned a couple of SD sized dolls when I first started in the hobby and quickly learned that even though I love the aesthetic, the SD size just doesn’t work for me.

 

There are several full sets from Souldoll, Soom, etc. that are no longer sold that I would very much like to own. I can only dream though.

 

I try to avoid buying dolls that are just the "regular pretty girl/boy". There are so many of them I love, but for me to TRULY buy them, they need to have something extra (non-human parts, fantasy skin, or even just very stylized features). I just know I won't vibe with them that much if I get them.

 

Dream Valley’s recent nagas, and doll chateau Elizabeth, and Dollzone’s tarot dolls, all for the same reasons: they’re 1/4. I would kill for a spider-taur in 1/3, and a girl with a snake tail in 1/3, and I love the look of the hanged man’s wings, but they’re all waaaaay too small to look right with my collection at all.

 

This may have been asked before, but is there a doll you have your eye on but feel like you’ll never own? Either for money, or no access or maybe the size of the doll is a problem? Those the Voice dolls are really growing on me!! But they are really big fellows. I like the look of a big doll but sometimes you hold them and go, this is a bit much resin but I have been admiring them from a distance. Is there something that catches your eye but you think you’ll never have one for some reason? Please share ❤️!

 

oh yes it's asked there is this thread https://denofangels.com/threads/dolls-you-love-but-will-never-own.866448/ , you'll see all the wonderful intresting responces I posted there too for me is the huge dolls like lushion and spiritdoll pure and dolce that I love and love the size but the weight of resin in that size would made them hard to handle and the bane of my waist/back issues

 

Mods can delete this one if they like. I thought that could be a fun topic. Thank you!

 

Nice

 

There are a few humanoid dolls I’ve liked quite a bit, but have managed to stand strong in only collecting quadruped dolls

 

Years ago, Doll Chateau released limited edition conjoined twins. Part of me wanted to buy them, but I decided against it, and I have no plans on trying to get them secondhand. DC did have gorgeous promotional photos of the pair, so I enjoy remembering them from time to time.

 

Anything that has a very long waiting time - I don't think I would be able to enjoy the doll proportionally to a 6+ month production time and would be worried sick the whole time. I love looking at many dolls from companies that take super long but I'm very bad at patience and not trusting enough to go over PayPal protection period.

Any fullset doll - I love looking at the gorgeous company photos but I find more joy in customisation and would probably be too scared to handle the doll otherwise or dress them into anything else. I love Volks' Junichi Nakahara ribbon one piece SWD Lorina, I sigh every time I see the Mandarake listing, but even if I could afford her, I'd feel so awkward having her.

 

I really love Dollmore Trinity and Lusion dolls because they’re just gorgeous and huge but exactly that is the problem. I just have no space for such a big doll + they’re really expensive but my worst fear are the custom fees
maybe one day :,)
