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.

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

Jul 25, 2018

    1. I so badly want a sphinx bjd! I know dream valley did a sort of "sphinx" centaur 1/6 but I mean full-size 1/4-1/3 Egyptian or Greek sphinx. I know the logistics of molding the body would be hard but it's just such a great mythical creature. Or even an SD doll inspired by the sphinx-like features or hybrid body style. :kitty1 I want her so bad!

    2. @BarefootWarrior Someone in a FB group I belong to is doing a passion project to make a sphinx doll. They're only doing this for themselves and not finished yet but so far it looks pretty cool. I believe it's about large MSD in size and the lion body has short fur on it (I think... or maybe they've done it like flocking?).

    3. I'd kill for a medium-sized mature naga/snake doll with accurate anatomy. I'm... way too picky about snake anatomy with naga dolls, so despite the ones already existing out there, none fit my taste. Also extremely specific enough that it'll probably never get made, but a snow leopard sphynx/centaur style doll. I just love how fluffy they are.

    4. I would love a SD10 Elf boy that is slim like my girl who is an Dollstown Elf body Luna. Has to be like 60 CM tall and be slender with some muscle tone and have a 8 inch head. Oh and nice big eyes like 14mm.

    5. Kind of a niche thing, but—I'd love an Andalite bjd. A blue, centaur-like alien species/race from the Animorphs book series—body a hybrid of horse and deer, a long, flexible tail with a scythe-like blade at it's tip, a mouthless face with almond-shaped eyes, nasal slits and stalk-like protrusions off the top of the head with extra eyes perched at their ends, and a delicate, humanoid upper-body with six flexible digits (fingers). I've been a fan of the books since I was a kid, and have yearned to have some sort of figure based on an Andalite pretty much since then.

      for a less-niche thing—an SD-scale winged cat with intricately posing bird-like wings. It would be especially fascinating if these winged kitties came in a variety of breeds and body/hair types—from your basic domestic shorthair to longhaired Ragdolls, Persians, and Maine Coons:kitty2.

    6. Volks has been making Disney princess dolls, but I want the villains!
      Specifically, I want Maleficent (probably obvious), and I want Ursula! Curvy, plus-sized octopus body! Dream Valley or Resinsoul purple and black resin.

    7. Have you seen Dream Valley Moon? I don’t think they’re exactly what you’re after, but they might be close enough. Moon was limited but Denver Doll has a few in stock still.

    8. I dream of a doll made of pink and blue resin looking like vitiligo in SD size, but with with wide hips and waist and very small breasts. I have the impression that very often dolls with big hips have very small waists or very big breasts. :wiggle

    9. I actually have DV Moon :kitty2:XD:
      [​IMG]

      I am thinking of something that's different: wings with higher poseability, body plan similar to the Iplehouse cats (or the OT EveStudio cats), and maybe twice the size of DV Moon—or even larger:kitty1

    10. @jade-eyed-cat - ah, I think I have an idea of what you're looking for. I can tell you from 3D-printing experience that printing resin wings is difficult. Really freaking difficult. I tried the thin, delicate look - and the feathers snapped off when I touched them. I thickened the wings, and they were too heavy for the doll.
      I own Dream Valley Cecilia Elf doll. She has articulated, solid resin wings. The wings are so heavy that the only way to get the doll to stand on her own is to have her hunched over - and even then, I can get her to stand for maybe 5-10 seconds before she topples. Also - stringing them was a nightmare and a half.
      That is definitely an engineering puzzle someone much smarter than me is gonna have to figure out. I'm going to stick with gluing feathers onto cardboard, lol.
      Did you see that Dollmore sells kinetic wings and a kinetic wing base?
       
    11. Dolls that I want that don't exist.... Almost every single one of my OCs, my favorite characters from movies and video games, the list goes on. I have no chill and have gigantic expectations that will probably never be met in my lifetime. Even dolls aren't safe from that, lol.

    12. I would love a 1/4 scale muscular dwarf, muscular orc, and tiefling with a tail and hooves on digitigrade legs, with interchangeable horns. Fingers crossed for someone else making it, but I want them enough that I would try to learn 3D modeling to make them myself (I say confidently, with no experience, lol).

    13. Omg, I had a dream a few days back about owning dolls that were old men with big round bellies and huge muscles, mini height. and I am still wishing they were real, my little buff Santas were so stinking cute :( They were vinyl dolls in the dream, but resin bjds would be even better. I am debating to make them, but I'd prefer it if they just manifested for me :eusa_pray

    14. Huli did some muscular Dwarf dolls not that long ago and I think they're in the 45-50cm range. Bonelace did a female Orc but I think she was SD in size. JJ Doll Lab also did an Orc girl and I think she was MSD size but I think there were also some issues with dolls not being delivered? ResinSoul does a hooved body in MSD size (male and female) that has digitgrade legs and their red resin is beautiful (I have a red Pixiu from RS). I have the male version (Ming) and it's very nice. A tail is easy enough to make, too.

    15. I would definitely like to at some point own any bodybuilder/superhero male dolls. I think I remember at some point someone had begun the sculpting and creation of a muscular doll with hulk-like proportions and I wish I could find that artist again.

      To be fair with my limited knowledge of EVERY doll that exists maybe these do exist out there and if so I'd like to put them on my radar for the future.

    16. Oooh, this is awesome info, thank you for sharing!! I do love seeing orc girls, but I would want a beefy man orc to shell my husband's hunky D&D character :blush

    17. @FiresChoirs I believe that Granado has a body builder/superhero sculpt which I think is still available and he's a HUGE hunk of resin.

      To the best of my knowledge, Dollshe did a superhero sculpt but I don't think many were actually made/purchased. I remember seeing owner shots of one but I can't remember if it was here or on a FB group I belong to. And with the current Dollshe situation and subsequent banning, I highly doubt it would be an option for you.

    18. Yeah Dollshe unfortunately won't be an option unless someone somehow got a hold of the superhero body and is willing to part ways with it.

      Granado is interesting though because I actually didn't think they made resin dolls because I only heard of the vindoll line, but it makes sense they would also have resin dolls too. I actually really like the bodies I see available. The Titan although a bit slimmer than I was imagining would make for a very interesting shell.

      Thanks for letting me know!

    19. @FiresChoirs I tend to notice the unusual dolls because that is my jam, lol. I have 2 Granado boys (resin) and they area bit off the typical resin path in that one is a 53Lucifer (53cm) in syringa from when they did a crowdfund for that size and the other is a 15Lucent (15cm) in WS from the first release.

    20. Just going to drop this out into the universe, because you never know.... lol

      A doll I want that doesn't exist would be Fairyland's discontinued Eliya sculpt... but in F60 size. Elf ears and all. The 'buy' button wouldn't know what hit it. :sweat
