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.

Favorite company?

May 26, 2014

    1. My favourite companies has to be volks and dream of doll. Pretty sculpts and amazing fullsets. Wish dod was still in business.
       
    2. it is definitely difficult to choose a favorite brand, i have had different types of bjds in different sizes and brands, among my favorites are luts, fairyland, akagidoll and doll in mind.}

      each one has something special for me, for example in luts I love the bodies and the type of resin, it feels super soft and of good quality, they are the ones that change the least over time, the resin is very resistant.

      as for fairyland i love the faces of the dolls, the size of the little hands of the pukifees and how tender and poseable they are.

      I love that the SD's are so big and the bodies are very cute, the only bad thing I see is that the faces are too similar to each other.

      of DIM I love their faces, they are very delicate and super expressive, they make me think they are real people, they are really beautiful, the resin is perfect and I have not noticed color changes over time, there are bodies that I do not like the joints but I think that would be the only flaw that I find them

      then I think without fear of being wrong that my favorite house is DIM, a pity that already closed.

    3. Dolllzone has the most stunning dolls hands down :abow:
       
    4. If you like Iplehouse because they're not thin, you should check out SartoriaJ. Their dolls are very curvy.

      Well for heads - I'm going with Dragonshell Dolls and Marina is a doll.

      For whole dolls - I guess SartoriaJ because I've got two by them.

    5. Dust of dolls.. Although i have never ordered from them I adore all their sculpts.
       
    6. I've been fascinated with iMdas for many many years now. I bought one a few years ago but just recently felt well enough to go and do something with her, and I can't stop staring at the iMda website, wondering if I want to buy her a sister (or two). I love the bobble-headed proportions. I basically love like half of that sculptor's dolls, which is completely unusual for me.
       
    7. Dollstown is right up there. I like Souldoll, Supia and Soom too. I used to like Unidoll when they were around. My favorites tend to be in flux.
       
    8. My top 3 would be Asleep Eidolon, Soom and Fairyland. I love fantasy dolls and I think AE and Soom are great to provide this kind of characters, and I have always been inspired by Fairyland dolls. I love seing other people's dolls and they are a great source of inspiration to me (I also found out about BJDs with a MiniFee Chloe so I have a certain attachment to the company for that reason).

    9. I've been obsessed with Korean doll companies lately, my recent favourites are Lemoon, Kanadoll and Prime Frame!
      Many years ago I started off really loving Switch, Fairyland and Dollzone.
       
    10. I love Iplehouse for their realism, their beautiful sculpting (especially hands and feet), the weight of the dolls, and the ability to order extra parts! On their website! With no begging! Well, except for heads, of course. Can't buy those heads separately.

      However, I am still in search of that holy grail - a fashion-type doll with gorgeous and realistic sculpting, amazing posing, and beautiful articulation, without veering into the almost grotesque. Some dolls have more joints than the weight of the bodies can handle (in my humble opinion), and they always look hunched (shoulders up to ears, torso bent over from 4-5 joints). Some people take the realistic genitalia idea and just run for the hills with it. When I can see internal body parts in a picture on my cellphone - it feels like you've gone too far.

      I'm eyeing Tender Creations for that reason. It appears to tick all of the boxes. But - those dolls are really pricey, and they sell out quickly, so it's going to be a while before I can find out.

    11. Okay so my favourites....
      - Doll Leaves for MSDs
      - Mystic Kids for MSDs
      - Charm Doll for SDs (and loongsoul by extension since it's CD's sister company)
      - Doll Chateau for bodies
      - Switch for heads
      - Soom The Gem for all sizes
      - Dream Valley for pets

    12. I also love Dream Valley - I have one SD body, and it's just gorgeous. They are also my favorite company for stringing, because the person who does it is terrifyingly strong.

    13. I love Fairyland dolls, maybe because I don't have many others yet, but especially their face sculpts with the vampire/elf aesthetics is exactly what I'm into lol
      Right now I have a Minifee and a Littlefee, I'm planning for one more Minifee, another Littlefee and a Pukipuki too :eusa_sile
       
    14. I really am starting to become obsessed with volks, but I also love crobidoll! dollstown, too :D
       
    15. There are a lot of companies that I've never owned a doll from that I have a fondness for. Resinsoul, dollzone/doll chateau, and dearmine just to name a few. I hope to get something from each of them someday!
       
    16. I only own dolls from Souldoll and Fairyland so I know I like them. I have my eyes set on many other companies as well such as Supia, Sartoriaj, Doll Leaves, Dollzone and Twigling.

    17. I've always loved Soom's head sculpts, and the boy I have is hands down my favorite doll even though he's at least 10 years old. I can't say I love their bodies because the one I have is just as old and I don't like it, but I'm sure the current one is great. I always find myself browsing for fairyland girls as well so they're definitely one of my favorites to look at, though I don't have one yet. Doll Chateau is also up there because I love their creative designs.
       
    18. I'm a dollfie and loongsoul fan.
      with dollfie, it's cuteness and versatility.
      at loongsoul the details of the full sets and the faces
       
    19. My top three are Soom, fairyland, and volks. I love the concepts of Soom’s and fairyland’s dolls: horse, mermaid, Alice in wonderland, etc. Volks’ dolls are simply beautiful! I can appreciate them all day, and the quality is also excellent.
       
    20. I am in love with fairyland . Already have minifees , pukifee and feeple60 . I do not think that I will try for now another brand .
