Dolls You Love But Will Never Own

The Soom Monthly dolls specifically Beryl and Heliot. I love them but I don’t know if I’d ever own them. I’ll continue to admire from afar.

 

Lilycat dolls. I've had one and she was GORGEOUS, but the posing wasn't great. Maybe if I wanted to put more effort into sueding and/or restringing a few times to get it just right, but at present the desire for a doll and the willingness to work for her to pose well haven't aligned.

 

Volks PS bisque dolls, they are gorgeous, but I don't want to buy one with someone else's name. Getting them under volks's strict rules seems even more impossible

ps. Getting a yo-tenshi version seems tempting

 

Volks Shinsia - the doll who launched me in to this hobby but now seems lost to time. No one seems to be selling her or posting about her anymore.
My other dream doll I love with all my soul is D.Lace Ex Machina male. I love cyborg/android dolls but the sculpting and presentation of this one matches everything I've seen in my dreams. Truly this is a work of art the artist is allowing you to own. He looks very much like he is worth every cent.
But I could never justify the cost compared to other expenses in my life. I saved pictures of him to my computer. Absolutely gorgeous doll.

 

Unoss, Volks Michele Dormitory, Volks Belldandy, Volks Chii, The GITS bjd doll... the list is long and painful.

 

Iplehouse Chase, Dream of Doll Delphine and Kalix (grey skin specifically). Those are my "I will never be able to afford them, but gods above I would give a working organ to have". Especially since DoD is defunct now ;~;

 

I'd say any of the huge dolls like Trinity or Conarium. I've considered getting one as my last for a time. The presence must be incredible but they're something you just sit around and display and I like dolls that are posable. I think uncle/70 is the upper limit of dolls you can still play with.

 

Loong Soul fullsets, love the traditional Chinese aesthetic but I want to customize so I think full sets would just feel more like a display figure than a doll to me. My ultimate grail doll is Doll Chateau Xanthe but that one was discontinued in 2017

 

Every dolls with big hips, they are gorgeous but it's impossible to find clothes for them, and you need special clothes that you can't put on reagular dolls

 

The Huajing dolls are gorgeous, but I'd have no space for that many sculpts.

 

I saw someone else mention the merman version of Moonlit Wonder’s Akheilos and that’s my answer too. 138cm of merman is a bit extreme for me but he’s so beautiful so I’ll settle and just buy his head with the alpha body that was released a few months ago.

 

For me it's merfolk dolls, I see so many gorgeous ones and I like mermaids so I dont know what it is but I just don't click with them enough to ever add to my own collection.
