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 favorite is Supia. I love all their sculpts. I always tell my meetup friends "Bring your Supias!" because I'm still saving up.
       
    2. My favourite would have to be Fairyland. :3 Their wait times suck but I love the sculpts and range of pose-ability. ^.^
       
    3. Little monica and volks would have to be my favourite. I love their sculpts. :)
       
    4. Granado, Dollmore and Dollzone.

      When you buy expensive items online, you want to be able to trust the seller, don't you. My favourites are my favourites because I find them very reliable and it's nice shopping with them. This is why I haven't added LLT to my list, despite the fact that I own no less than five of their heads and keep a close eye on any new ones they bring out: whereas I love their work and they have never yet let me down, the fact that they don't communicate very well adds just a little bit of stress to every transaction. "Favourite company" is about more than the sculpts for me; it's about the entire experience.

      I have only one Granado doll, but I really love the company for their approach to doll making, their dedication and their excellent service/communication. They are a small company and very approachable. I actually wanted to buy "a" Granado doll long before I fell in love with one particular sculpt, just because I liked the company so much and wanted to support them!

      Dollmore is much larger and so not really comparable, but I love them too. Again, great communication and excellent (not to mention super-swift) service. I also adore Dollmore's resin, and they happen to sell my favourite Gu Mi-jeong sculpts. And don't ask me why, but I seem to enjoy their little intro for each doll.

      Dollzone is a company with which I am always in touch through a dealer, so I'm not entirely sure what their communication is like, but it seems okay because when I ask the dealer a question, she seems to get replies from Dollzone quite quickly. I like that they are a fairly adventurous company - you never know what sort of magnificent little creature they are going to bring out next - but you can always rely on them to send you a well-engineered body and their quality is consistent.
       
    5. I love Doll Chateau's unique aesthetics and lanky bodies so much and I plan to buy at least 3 of their dolls (more if I can come up with more characters to shell, I want all of the dolls!), and I also love Dollzone too, which happens to be where my first doll will be coming from (a DZ Ro, so excited!!) :)
       
    6. I'm in love with dollpamm and dollzone. : )
       
    7. Several answers for me xD
      I think my favourite company of all is Dollzone. They make original sculpts with a looot of potential and I really like what they do. Even if the delays are really long, I don't complain, because they really make amazing molds !
      I also love Doll Chateau, their incredible bodies and head, they fascinate me !
      Otherwise, I specially like "artist doll", like Cerisedoll, Little Rebel (Svein, Seven and Hachi <3 one day, I'll definitely get one of these dolls !), Once upon a doll...
       
    8. I definitely don't think it matters what price a doll is. On the other hand, my personal tastes do tend towards a more expensive company - my favourite company is definitely Soom. All my dolls are either from Soom's The Gem line (Super Gems, Teenie Gems or Mini Gem fairies) or their sister line, Rosette School of Dolls. There are lots of things I love about Soom - their overall sculpting aesthetic, their resin quality, their face-ups, their long layaways, being able to combine orders (even when they are layaways that end at different times), and all their different themes and collections. I love that their fantasy parts are often interchangeable, and that I can mix and match them to make my own unique fantasy dolls. I love their different skin tones. I love their Free Choice Events (especially their more recent ones, with extra skin tone choices).
       
    9. My favorite is definitely Migidoll~ I love the doll's faces and if I have the money I would get Jina, Ryeong, Ryu and variations of Miho. I'm actually on the hunt for the discontinued Miu..
       
    10. For me, I think my favorites are Granado and Doll Chateau
      while there are other companies I like part of, those two I love the whole product! There's some special spark to them
       
    11. My first BJD was from Dollstown in 2008. I think as someone brand new to bjd' i picked a good company to start with. I still love her quality and pretty face and the company was good to deal with.
      I just ordered a Doll Chateau Bella from DC and found the ordering experience to be a good one as King was very responsive to my questions. I've never seen a DC in person but I love the liberties they take with their sculpts and find them to be delicately beautiful. Plus I love the clothes and body paint like on Stacy. Just so cool! They kind of remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas and Tim Burton's imagination.
       
    12. Volks is my fav. The quality is good and has their own creativity and originality:)
       
    13. My favorite is Dollshe!) I'm in love with their dolls
      clothing like in soul doll
       
    14. I have quite a few favorite companies but most of my dolls come from Luts. My other favorite companies are Iplehouse, Dream of Doll, Fairyland and Little Monica.
       
    15. Fairyland is my favorite :love their faces, bodies and even fullsets are perfect to me , and I've fallen in love with so many of their sculpts in all sizes !!
       
    16. Migidoll!! Im in love with all their boy sculpts <3
       
    17. I browsed resinsoul and though I didn't particularly care for their sculpts, the dolls themselves didn't seem to be poor in composition. My favourite company (although it's one of the most expensive DX) has to be Iplehouse. I love their beautifully realistic dolls <3

    18. My favorite company at the moment is LUTS. Everything I've seen from them I've fallen in love with(not exactly buy worthy but I still love looking at them) and they're super friendly. Plus they're pretty inexpensive for what you're looking for.

      I've always liked Peakswoods but I've never had anything from them. I've only seen them in pictures, and I do like Iplehouse. Fairyland is cool as well, I just need them to get their stuff together before I ever get anything else from them. First hand or second hand.
       
    19. Well , Crobidoll must be my number one since I allready have 2 of their boys and plan on getting more some day . I love their bodies because they pose great in my opinion and are also very sturdy . Their sculpts are charming and the face-ups are stunning . At least in my opinion .
      I also love Planetdoll , my Riz poses great and to me she is a very unique sculpt ,Dollmore has some amazing sculpts (I would like to own all the Zaoll girls xD), and Luts dolls are also very beautiful with good quality resin and nice face-ups .
       
    20. Honestly, I just adore Fairyland's sculpts. I don't own any Fairyland dolls yet, but I hope to in the future!
