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. My dolls all play a storyline in an elf world. But i don't mind if they have elf ears or not. I look for the dolls which are affordable and come the closest to the character i am looking for. The rest i mod myself, elf ears included. Actually, only 2 of my dolls, Ciske and Tesla are natural born elves.
       
    2. I care more about face or design, but I love elf ears so I wouldn't care if the doll had them as long as I liked it in general.
       
    3. I love the look of elf ears, but as Iโ€™m a newbie, I wonder if they make wigs difficult to stay on well? I saw some minifee with elf ears, and the wigs seemed almost falling off. If this a common problem?
       
    4. Humans ears for sure and always. That s the first factor I consider before buy a doll
       
    5. Hmm, I don't pay too much attention to the shape of the ears but unless I'm designing a fantasy doll that is an Elf, I would not go for pointed ears. I'd stick to something more realistic.
      I focus more on the face and if the face looks nice and the ears seem to match, I'm fine with it.
       
    6. I LOVE elf ears! I adore it when they stick out of the wig just a little, I think it's so cute!
       
    7. Ears are like the last thing I notice or care about when it comes to a face 90% of the time, lol

      I tend to pick sculpts that appeal to me in the facial proportions and expression and whether it has elf or human ears is of absolutely no consequence to me. Having said that, I've ended up with a lot of fantasy-eared dolls? I don't know if it's a complete coincidence or just the cool face sculpts are more likely to have fantasy ears...
       
    8. I love elf ears until I want to put historical clothing on them and then I get frustrated :doh
       
    9. Get a Supia, then you can have both. ;)
       
    10. EEEELVEEESSS. Elf ears are the best!
       
    11. I absolutely love elf ears. When I first started the hobby I didn't think I would. But then I received my first elf eared boy, and now I want all of my dolls to have them XD
       
    12. I like all ears. Human/elf are 50/50 in my collection. The weirder shape, the better.
      (What bugs me though are antromorphic characters with two human and two animal ears. D:)
       
    13. I'm a sucker for elf ears in general (but also I'm specifically shelling an elf character at the moment).
       
    14. I love elf ears so much, and elf ears are more easily modded into human ears I think! It really depends on the character I guess but I do love elf ears
       
    15. If choose between long or kotorkimi pointed ears, I would choose nice little ears, long ones too are not bad, but I tend to shorten. But whether human or not - it already depends on the image of the doll.
       
    16. I LOVE ELF EARS!!!
      If the doll company have both human and elf ears doll, I always choose elf ears first Lol
       
    17. If their faces are pretty and the type I like, then ears are not important to me, and I like both elvish and human ears.
       
    18. I am a big fan of elf ears, they are just super cute in my opinion. But for certain characters it just doesn't work.
       
    19. I am in love with elf ears, to me they just make any doll 10 times cuter haha. If I only had elves in my doll crew I wouldn't mind! The only annoying thing is that I have to remove the head most of the time to put on clothes because I'm so scared of damnaging the ears ><
       
    20. I love elf ears! I wish they were an option on all dolls~ (I know that would be impossible!)
