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.

    3. I don't have one absolute favorite company. I have dolls or doll parts from six different companies right now, and they're a mix of more expensive/less expensive companies. I don't care about popularity or how a company is perceived ("cheap" or "elite"). I buy what I like and am building my collection for me. I am happy to say that I honestly have had great experiences with every company I have purchased from so far, and I absolutely love every doll that I own. They're all awesome in their own way. Each company I own a doll or doll component from puts something a little different into their work/style. Having dolls from all different companies instead of multiples from any one company allows me to experience the individuality of many different dollmakers' work and, to me, makes each of my dolls feel like more of a unique individual within my collection.

    5. This is EXACTLY how I feel! Well, for the most part. I too prefer to buy my dolls from all different companies. For a long time I went without buying a second doll from a company, but it was LoongSoul that broke that rule. I've purchased three of their dolls now. So, I do have a current favorite but it's not like I love every sculpt they offer. I think their dolls are excellent quality in terms of resin and posing ability, and they have creative fantasy sculpts. Their dolls arrive with the most secure bubble-wrapping I've ever seen. And to top it off, their prices are pretty good too!

    6. DollClans coz they just put so much effort into creating their dolls. I've always had good experiences with them. Also, the fact they let us use airmail makes me like then even more so I am always more willing to buy from them. I love whoever draws all their chibi characters, makes me actually want to read every email and pages I come across

      Soom because of how easy it is to do layaway with them. Also, they give us a chance to get their old sculpts and I like their xmas kits. I also like how they cater to customer's demands.

      Though I love Iplehouse and plan to get a lot of their sculpts, I wouldnt call them my favourite company because of their business approach to some things. But I like their ability to listen to customer's requests.

    7. I have favorite companies for different reasons.
      Concept and Marketing: Granado & DollClans
      Customer Service: Granado & BlueBlood Doll
      Sculpting Detail: DollShe (Classic 28) & DollsTown
      Artist/Small Business/Customer Communication: Simply Divine & Fifth Motif

      ...these are just the companies I have personal experience with and would support again and again...

    8. As with previous commenters, there's doll companies I really like for different aspects.
      I'd second the opinion that Granado is highly satisfactory with marketing and customer service, but I'd include excellence of anatomical accuracy and also great posing. I love a lot of companies for the sculpt anatomy in their pictures--Twigling, Dollstown, Iplehouse (also amazing on the clothing and accessories), Loongsoul--but except for twigling (whose bodies are awesome, I've seen those) for the rest, I'm not clear on their posing ability. I've heard great things about other companies for posing, and I strongly wish that Fairyland was able to sell dolls in my favored SD to SD13 scale, I expect they'd be amazing. Great concept art for each sculpt is a strong point for SOOM's beautiful monsters and fantasy clothing. Folks who've been into the hobby longer than me always rave about the high quality of Volks' castings and resin and clothing, and the clothing I've handled has been very finely detailed and feels solid. Some of my friends also like certain reliable eras of LUTS dolls, plus the style of the head sculpts, also the heads from the company Switch--but I find I like more grownup styles (and no, it's not just more boobage on girls). I know I've seen intriguing things from other companies but I'm not coming up with names very well. I think we're seeing some awesome new artists and companies starting up with really great promise of things to come.

    9. Iplehouse and Soom always seem to be the ones that drive me crazy!! I love the realism! Although Loongsoul has incredible less-realistic designs too :D

    10. I love fairyland! Their bodies are so beautifully made, and their faces speak to me. Not ALL of them of course. But... still!
      In fact I would love to try a doll from another company sometimes (on my wishlist are Unoa, Bluefairy and Dollstown), but whenever I really go into the buying phase I always end up with... yep, Fairyland.

    12. My hand is gonna slip here.

      I love Luts, Ringdoll, and SoulDoll.
      Luts might have my eternal loyalty. Their sculpts are darling even if people think they're generic.

      I'm interested in branching out though! All dolls have their strong points!

      (Don't let anyone tell you that ResinSoul and Bobobie are bad because they're cheap. They have the most amazing color options I've ever seen and interesting ideas for doll legs. Just buy what makes you happy. I am really debating on getting a Bobobie Pixiu. What a little cutie!)

    14. Dollclans. I didn't think there was a company that I would like all of their sculpts but Dollclans proved me wrong. :lol:

    15. So far I have only had my eye caught by Fairyland dolls, and only a small handful of them are ones I really want to own. I've tried looking at other companies to see if I could enjoy other dolls, but every time I go to a new site I just don't feel drawn to the faces that greet me there.
      Luckily it was a Fairyland doll that introduced me to the hobby, or else I could have gone a lot longer not knowing what I was missing.

    18. I like Iplehouse. I only have one doll and she's an JID Cecile named Layla, and I just adore her. I can't say I know that much about different bjd sculpts, but out of the companies I've looked at, Iplehouse and Fairyland are definitely my favourite. I like them because I love their face and body sculpt, as apposed to just one of the two. I think I only have dolls from these two companies on my wishlist at the moment. :)
