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.

Elf or Human Ears? Doll Preferences & Choices

Apr 9, 2016

    1. Ears won't make or break a doll for me but I love elf ears and I'd rather have them then not. I've actually had ears modded onto one of my dolls!

    2. I'm not a huge fan of extreme elf ears (EEE?) on most dolls. It's adorable on some, though! For whatever reason, I'm more inclined to admire dolls with horns than elf ears.

    3. I like either, as long as the "elf" ear isn't extremely elongated. Although, when I think of elf ears, I think of Link from Legend of Zelda :lol:
       
    4. I think elf ears are super cute! I still tend to lean towards regular ears, though, just from my own preferences.
       
    5. I'm generally not a huge fan of fantasy characters, so I prefer regular ears, though I do admit elf ears can look pretty cute in some cases.
       
    6. I’m definitely a fan of elf ears, mainly because most of the characters I created are elves. That said, I did buy a doll from Onlu Doll last year that didn’t have elf ears because she looked so much like a character of mine. Planning to modify her ears once I figure out how to.
       
    7. I really want to get a doll with elf ears, especially if they're very long, but I'd have to be super careful because I know they'd probably break. I have a character from an MMO that I would love to shell into a doll and he is an elf.
       
    8. Always elf ears, the bigger the better!
       
    9. I like Elf ears as I love pixies and fairies. I also like the cat ears but got to fit nicely with the doll
       
    10. I don't really pay attention to ears, so I think both normal and elf ears are fine with me. I think if I had a doll with elf ears, then I would add piercings or something special to them because if they stand out, they would look great with some additional accessories in my opinion!
       
    11. Oh definitely, ears are certainly a factor for me. My Soom Wolf the Knight has the most beautiful ears I've ever seen - that's part of the reason why I chose him! And "surprise second" stole my heart with their little cat/fox ears (Soom Ace & Grey). It's one of the factors that make dolls truly special to me. I guess I'm just drawn to the fantasy element.
       
    12. I don't have a *general* preference of human ears over elf ears, or vice versa - but, I do wish more companies offered dolls with detachable ears, or the option to choose either human or elf ears.

      When it comes to variations in human ears, I say embrace the unusual in every form, even if every form isn't always seen as conventionally attractive...so many sculpts look almost exactly the same, and I appreciate that some companies want to try new things...my only real pet peeve is when a realistic sculpt has ears that lack the same attention to detail that the artist put in the face and body.

    13. Human, all my dolls are human, I think it's fun owning little people. Humans are adorable.

    14. It really depends on what I want their character to be. I love cute elf ears, short and long, but I don't want to base a purchase off of that alone. As far as human ears go, more cartoony ones don't bother me unless its for a character where the ears might show.
       
    15. I like elf ears. Or any kind of 'fantasy' ears, really.
       
    16. i love both but personally i think little elf ears are the cutest!

    17. I didn't start collecting thinking that I would like elf ears, but now I am utterly charmed by them. I just got Nolan from DreamHigh Studios because he has HUGE ears that do not hide behind hair. He's a fun one.
       
    18. It depends on the character, but both are cute! Though I only own dolls with human ears atm, I hope I can get some with elf ears soon!
       
    19. I love elf ears so much! I think they're so great.
      If a sculpt is nice enough, I can live without them, though.
       
    20. After having a doll with elf ears........
      human ALLLLLL the way. Elf ears feel so fragile to me and I felt like wigs didn’t sit right. And most importantly cute hats that make a wig sit so nicely we’re not possible *_*
