Elf or Human Ears? Doll Preferences & Choices

To be completely honest, I'm not too worried about the ears! As someone has already said, they're mostly covered by wigs anyway. Although in saying that, if given the choice I would pick human ears every time (since my crew is not fantasy based).

 

love elf ears on dolls i think my fav must be the ones on the sugerble genie but none of my future crew will have elf ears they are all human

 

I guess it depends how strongly you feel of what type of doll you want them to be living in. Would it be a realistic doll living in our real world or a fantasy doll living in a fantasy-like setting. This also goes with costume and lighting and storytelling of the doll would be involved in, but personally elf ears are adorable in any setting. ^_^

 

I honestly love elf ears so much, like i want everything and everyone to have elf ears. but usually the sculpts that have elf ears dont fit my tastes face wise. im planning on just modding elf ears on the next doll i get so i can be completely happy with her face as well.

 

I prefer elf ears on smaller sculpts and human ears on larger ones, just because I feel like those pointy ears are way cute and they suit the smaller sculpts very well, but it could look a little out of place for larger sculpts.

 

I like the way elf ears look when they poke out from beneath the wig!

However, presence or lack of elf ears isn't normally a deal breaker for me, though in cases like Soom dolls, if I like the elf ears I will get the fantasy head when given a choice. But I don't look at them and go oh I love those ears I must buy this, I look at the face and go I like this face, oh hey it comes with elf ears... I want this.

 

I personally adore elf ears, but that's just because I love elves and Fantasy creatures.

 

Ëlf I like fantasy doll !

 

I really like elf ears! I’d love to get a doll with some in the future. I think the shorter kind are very cute but like a lot of people said tthey probably wouldn’t show up under the wig. Any fantasy ears are really cute to me! Most human shaped ears don’t really register to me so realistic or cartoony both are acceptable.

 

Elf ears are cool, but I usually prefer more human-like dolls. And, as many have stated here, the wigs usually cover them, so I would only get one of these if my wig had a haircut/hairstyle that would somehow let the ears be more well exposed.

 

I love fantasy dolls so elf ears all the way.

 

I used to prefer human ears but I think I’m deep into some kind of elf phase right now because the majority of my recently purchased dolls do indeed have elf ears. And I prefer the ears to be long enough that they can be seen when the doll is wearing a wig.

 

I actually like both. It really depends on the character/concept for a doll.

Though if I had to choose I think i would go for elf ears. (Which I had some in real life,too... so bored of my human ears)

 

Elf ears are nice, but I am a bit particular about the shape. I usually prefer realistic human ears, but I do plan on having a male doll with slight elf ears for his character. My female doll also has interchangeable elf and human ears so I rotate between the two just for some variety.

 

Elf ears are super cute. Especially droopy ones like Soom Amber. To be fair, though, the worst fear I had was when the Soom Amber head I bought was shipped - I was so paranoid it was going to break! Thankfully it didn't - the seller had one of the best packaged shipping containers I have ever seen in my life. The second Soom Amber head I purchased was within a day's drive so that's what we did, mother and daughter day trip!

I have some elf-themed characters, most notably from the Dragon Age series I wish to shell, so it seems modding will be in my future to add those ears. Granted, I am one person who bought one doll simply to add elf ears since the facial sculpt and body type was so perfect to what I had in mind. Although making sure her ears will poke out of her wig a little bit once everything is said and done is another story...

 

THEELFLING‍♂️ASYLUM ✩ on Instagram: “I finally sculpted some big elf ears (they’re not finished at all) so I can attach them to all my dolls or maybe just Comet XD also if…”

i am really into these elf-ears at the moment. i kinda love that they dare to look ugly and not like the typical doll/anime idea of an elf-ear.

 

Almost all my dolls have elf ears in some form or another. I really love the long kind, but my big issue with them is that I always have to remove the doll's head to change their shirt. My Dika Doll Rena's ears are wider than her shoulders are broad, so changing her is always a hassle.

 

I love elf ears! I will gravitate to a sculpt with elf ears over human ears.

 

It really depends on the character for me, or the aesthetic I'm going for with the doll. I do like elf ears though! They can be very pretty with the right sculpt.

 

the eyes are what sell me on it the most. they draw my attention first, followed with the mouth and overall shape of the face. the ears are usually a detail i more often overlook...
