Dolls you want.... that don't exist!

Jul 25, 2018

    1. Maybe Lillycat SD Ellana would be somewhat up what you're looking for? She's slimmer than most dolls I've seen but does have pronounced hips, though she has a pronounced thigh gap in return (the thighs are still slim).

    2. @dancingkitsune Funny I was just thinking about this the other day. We ended up choosing a slightly different look for the doll that needed this body and made her taller so we're sorted. Now that we changed plans, a body I really like for that style was released, the Fan Studio girl.

    3. I would love to see more head sculpts with optional ear/horm parts, like LT Craft but with options like different kinds of ears, antlers, etc. Also I would love more sculpts that are in between ages, like older than most YoSD are depicted but younger than tween/teen looking MSD

    4. Mature 1/6 dolls with fantasy parts (like soom or FL).. I would rebuy my whole collection tiny if I could. Oh and more mature boy faces in tiny and Minifee sizes..

    5. 56cm girl muscular girl body.

    6. A SD size chicken.

    7. I never thought of that now i want an SD size owl, dog, cat, and panda.

      I think a doll I want that doesn't exist would be an SD size doll that resembles a teddy bear. I think that would be cute. I want it to be able to open its belly, so I can stuff it with tiny bjds inside it like it ate them up.

    8. Lol, I think my problem I tend to run into is wanting certain body types at certain heights. XD Like for example, I think one of Telethesia & Dragon's 75cm boys is rather fetching, but I would want him in 57-63cm (preferably 59). I don't want a 75cm doll. XD I also keep spotting heads that I initially think would be perfect for a YoSD I have in mind, but then they turn out to be for the "chubby" or "big baby" style MSD dolls instead. >:x

      If you have access to a 3d printer, there's some cat and dog BJD models out there that you could enlarge. I've gotten myself 1/6 scale cats, rabbits, and foxes this way. I haven't noticed any models for panda, owl, or chicken bjds though, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there. (Although I think there's a chocobo...? I dunno; I don't follow FF.)

    9. I would love to see more truly Asian sculpts in all different scales, preferably inspired by actors and singers. The doll I want the most right now is Souldoll Ricia because she's one of the only MSD sculpts that is completely Asian and is also affordable. If only Distant Memory sculpts were easier to find... XD

    10. I love distant memory. I have some in my collection. You can occasionally find second hand on instagram for a good price.

      I love Asian looking sculpts too, but that is a broad term. Do you mean like East Asian, Southeast Asian, etc? I buy mainly from Korean companies or independent artists from Korea, so I feel like my dolls have a look that fits a more East Asian standard. However, it really depends on the company or artist. I tend to gravitate towards sharp eyes and high cheekbones look. I don't like overly big Disney sized eyes. Recently, I've been trying to diversify my collections of face sculpts. I've been really into larger lips these days and a broader nose because it's not in my collection yet. I've been having a hard time finding many sculpts like this. I found one from milkweed and honey bjds. It's the coda sculpt. I love the look and resin of that sculpt. It's perfect for a biracial character in my head i've been wanting to make into a doll. I want to create a half-asian half-African character.

    11. I'm always super interested when I see them come up for sale. It's just so rare, especially these days. :(

    12. A doll that looks exactly like my FFXIV character, haha.
      Or at least 1/3 dolls with dragon features (horns, tails).

    13. Then I must have been lucky maybe a month or two ago I would see distant memory heads posted for resell often. I should have bought it then. I have I think maybe two bts sculpts not sure. They were a good price from what I recalled.

    14. Specifically I'm looking for iconic Korean features, but honestly, I'd be happy with any Asian influence. I like the double eyelid or almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones, triangle nose. When I see a lot of the popular bjds (i.e. Iplehouse, Souldoll, Loongsoul, even Fairyland), a high percentage seem to look more Caucasian to me (especially Iplehouse). Now, I know all of these companies do have Asian sculpts, but often there will only be one in each line / size. Fairyland might be the main one that has more than one in each.

      I'm not loving overly stylized features these days either. I think a lot of Minifees, for instance, are super cute, but there's sooo many of them that have similar facial proportions (I was super excited that they started branching out some in the last couple years with their new sculpts). But one of the most iconically Korean MSDs I've found is Souldoll Ricia, and one of the reasons I love her so much is because she has smaller features than most Minifees.

      Also, Coda is stunninggg. I think Blasian features are such a cool cross between two iconic people groups, and I would love to see more of that diversity in this hobby. :3nodding:

    15. Ohhh dang, I missed it. :pout:

    16. Triangle nose? What's a triangle nose? What is considered Korean features? I'm actually Korean, but I still get confused what would be considered Korean features. :lol: But my sister and I get mistaken for a lot of different races. She has big eyes and round eyes while i have natural double eyelids and almond shaped eyes. My mom said our grandpa was born with double eyelids. Some koreans I think I heard have natural double eyelids. We have high cheek bones and are told we look very young. Oddly we have a higher nose bridge than normal. My aunt that I first met in korea kept asking if I got surgery because my eyelids and nose but no i was just born that way. I wish i was taller though. I was shocked at tall my cousins were in korea. I was really confused because it was my first time meeting her. She kept saying we were pretty which was weird because growing up in a pre-dominately white town we were told we were ugly on a regular basis which was confusing because people would say how beautiful our mom is. My mom has like I think 6 or 7 sisters and she looked for most different from them. Well one sister missing and one passed away, so I have no idea how they look. Anyway I would really like to know what a triangle nose is. Do most dolls have this nose? Yeah I noticed a lot of Korean dolls lean more looking caucasian mixed with what people consider Asian features. I've recently been wanting to get more dolls with concepts outside of East Asia. Most my dolls center around east Asian characters. I'm Korean-American (we are full korean. Some strange people think will ask if we have white parent because they say our features aren't "Asian" features.) by the way. I only Met my grandpa maybe once. He has big eyes and double eyelids. While my grandma I've never met was the opposite. Sadly I couldn't communicate well. I'm terrible at languages maybe it's my autism or the fact we weren't allowed to speak it at school and my parents were never around.

      Edit: another weird fact is our hair is unusually light it's like a brown red black color. I didn't notice my hair color but some people have pointed out our hair and asked why we curled our hair and dyed our hair. They assumed all koreans had the same hair. It's really weird, but if I put oil on my hair it looks black. I wish i had straight jet black hair, but no we have wavy hair that isn't a dark black. :atremblin hmm maybe I will make a doll that looks similar to me one day. That's what I want I think I want a doll that looks like my sister and me. People like playing guessing games with my looks it ranges from mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Philippine, Korean, mixed, etc. I even saw a korean show forgot title where a korean was born with natural afro hair. It was very interesting. I only watched a little before I exited and forgot to save it. From what little I recall of my biological dad before divorce he has wavy hair and big eyes. He was actually our mom's stalker and he married her because she was so pretty. My mom has big round double eyelids eyes. My older brother completely takes after out grandma. He has smaller monlidded almond eyes, thick lips, high cheek bones, and a bigger flatter nose while my sister and I seem to take after our grandpa we have thinner higher nose and sharper.

      Sorry this is so long winded I can't focus because of my dogs. My point is a doll can be probably any race you want it to be because it's a blank slate. Not everyone from same race probably will have similar features just look at BTS V. Pretty much if the doll looks "caucasian" I still make it an Asian character. I haven't branched out to other races for my dolls because i can't find the right look i want for my dolls I've imagined and i don't want to accidentally offennd anyone somehow. If the doll has tan or pale or dark skin I might make it into an African American doll who knows i just need to find the right doll. None of them felt like the character besides Coda. I need to buy him. I love his sculpt and resin so much. Now to find more sculpts that feel like my doll characters. It's been hard to find.

      Ah I mixed it. I havent seen mu grandaprnets photo in years. My grandma has small almond monklidded eyes, thick lips, high cheekbones, and thin sharp nose. My grandpa has double lidded big round eyes, bigger flat short nose, and medium sized lips. My grandma had thin bone build and my grandpa had a thicker build. She had a delicate Petite look.

    17. I love all Korean features, I think you guys are so beautiful regardless of what features you have. XD Here's a photo I made to show the triangle nose, featuring Souldoll Ricia which is one of the few bjds I've ever found that has it.
      [​IMG]
      So the two photos on the left kind of show what I'm talking about. It's actually a little more like a pyramid, with a triangle footprint on the face, and then also the triangle when viewed from the side. It's a trait I've noticed in some Koreans, not very many, but that I find attractive.

      Anyway, I digress from the topic. I would just love to see more bjds with more diversity because they're so hard to find. XD

    18. Interesting. I never noticed much about noses. I just usually get sharp noses because most of my dolls are males. Well that odd my sister, grandma, and my nose is like that. I thought that was just a normal nose. I actually don't like my nose though. I never looked that closely at my nose because I don't like it. I avoid looking at my face. I find myself very ugly. It could be from childhood the feeling of ugliness so that's why one reason I love dolls they are so beautiful. I had to look at a photo of myself (yuck) to see how my nose looked. I avoid looking at myself as much as possible unlike dolls I look at often admiring their beauty.

      Edit: oops i got off topic again. I forgot what the thread was about. I slipped and banged my head into the wall again. I'm always falling luckily we don't have stairs in our new place. I fell once because I somehow slipped on a piece of paper on the floor. I have no idea how I did that. I can fall up or down the stairs. I can even fall while walking slowly because my brain feels like it's hipccuping and my feet get confused and get somehow tangled.

    19. I want a draft horse centaur! They’re beautiful. And more centaurs in general, especially with wings.

      @Forever We Are Young Please don’t take this the wrong way, but maybe you should see a doctor if you’re able. If I understand your post correctly, you’re forgetting after hitting your head? Forgetting and balance/coordination issues can be a sign of a concussion. Even if it’s not from that, balance problems can be a sign of ear issues. Physical therapy can help fix current issues and prevent future ones. Sorry if I’m overstepping. (Disclaimer- I’m not a doctor)

    20. D.Lace dolls that were never produced because preorders failed. The artist is amazing and niche with a focus on scifi fantastical, leonardo da vinci art looks, and religious based dolls. But, they're relatively unknown with looong production times.
