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.

    2. Well , I love alot of companies , but here are my faves :

      Crobidoll - They are my absolute favourite ! I can`t help but adore all their sculpts . I just think they are just so beautiful , expresive and alive . Also , the quality of their resin and engeneering is also amazing ( to me ) . Aaaand I think they do gorgeus faceups . Crobidoll has it all for me to be honest : the beauty and character of the sculpts , the high quality oh the resin, lovely face ups and awesome bodies.Plus I think they are at a decent price. ( I have Nia and soon Lance )

      Dollmore- Just love the sheer emotion their dolls are abel to show, and how unique their dolls are . They just have so much personality to them and I think they`re very versatile in terms of portraying a character . I wish for many of their sculpts , but for now I only own their lovely Zaoll Muse.

      Luts- I really love almost all their delfs , and a lot of their other sculpts. I just think they are pure awesome . Ofcourse , for me , their body doesn`t seem as great as crobi`s , but I still really like the quality of their resin , face up and other things they sell ( really nice wigs in my opinion ) .And I also think that they are a reliable company . I wish I had more delfs from them . Right now I only have Soony .


      I like a lot of other companies to , but I can`t really say I love them if I don`t own any of their dolls or at least seen them in person . I really like volks to for their sculpts , but I don`t own one , so I don`t whant to rant about a company I dont truly know / have experienced firsthand .

    3. Crobidoll. I LOVE their sculpts and their default faceups are sooooooooo amazing. Sadly the prices are a bit to high for my wallet >_< But I will always love them from afar.

    4. I love many company but if I have to choose~~>3<

      .Volks// I am completely in love with Reisner, William, Ryoya Konoe etc. When I see the official photo I always say 'ugh so ugly' but this is not true! The beautiful sculpts customized are the real power of volks!

      .CROBI// I don't have words for explain it! I want all CB dolls of any size, they are so beautiful, I love the Cookie Cream Skin and the Soft White Skin so much, and the mold of CB are one of the most beautiful that I have never see in my life!!

      Sora*Iro// BF is very good for sweetness, our doll are so cute a soft, I prefer big boy but if I want to buy a girl I run on BF list! The make-up are simple, but I love the outfits and sculpts!

      Iplehouse// One of my first love! I love the mold so much, they are expressive, real, beautiful, also the faceups are so amazing!

      Soom: I love their molds, and fantasy parts.
      Iplehouse: Wonderfull dolls, and great customer service.
      Fairyland: I love the posability

    6. I love Iplehouse, most of my human characters are going to be from there (including my first girl who I'm currently saving for), I like the realism and detail of their dolls (though I also like less realistic dolls) and they seem such great quality.

      I also have a lot of Fairyland on my wish list since I like their sculpts and everything I've heard about their quality and poseability.

      And I love the amount of variety that Dollmore has.

    7. Iplehouse - I love the face molds and I must say the body is really good and nice to work with! I love Fairyland also but have no experience at all, since I didn'T buy any doll from them YET! Just admire from far...hope to have one soon :D

    8. this is what I said before:

      I just got my doll from Iplehouse and I would like to add them as one of my favorite companies too :) they have amazing customer service, always responding to question and request with care, however, I also requested something after waiting for some time and they didn't do it :[ maybe the doll was ready already (I wanted pierced ears).


      Luts is still my #1 company. :aheartbea

    9. Volks, hands down, and I've owned dolls from so many companies... They've ruined me for other dolls with the quality, spectacular sculpting (especially Akihiro Enku's work), and the culture built up around the dolls. Owning Volks is like belonging to a fantastic, and very talented, community unto itself, and the dolls really do stick with you. I frequently wax and wane in my interest and investment in the hobby, but my Volks girls manage to keep me going.

      Switch make the most stunning boys, and the fact that they've taken over aria's body sculpts is just the cherry on top.

      I also adore bluefairy for their classic and refined aesthetic, superb quality, and unbelievable customer service.

      Naraes and Unoas will also always hold a place in my heart for their simple but solid posing and gorgeous sculpts; I'm just not into minis.

    10. I'm in love with the defunct Aria Doll: though I didn't want to own them all, I loved the quirkiness of their head sculpts and the poseability and aesthetics of all their bodies. I loved the tooth on their resin and the heaviness of their dolls. I loved the simplicity of their presentation and just the whole atmosphere when I visited their website.

      It makes me sad that I'm rhapsing poetic about a company that no longer exists, but it really is the only company that I've been so passionate about (Usually, I'm in love with the doll, not the company).

    11. I'm absolutely and totally in love with Doll Chateau! Their bodies remind me so much of Tim Burton's stuff for some reason and I'm totally in love with my Bella's face :3 Also, at the risk of sounding awkward, I adore their girl bodies small busts :3
       
      #131 Tokishone, Sep 13, 2012
    12. I like Doll Chateau too! I love all weird stuff and theyr bodies are just amazing.
      I also like Crobidoll because even though I usually don't like boy dolls, there's no doll I wouldn't like to have. xD

    13. Fairyland is my favorite doll company. I am really in love with their minifees and I now have a Feeple. I just love their cute knees and elbows, their cutie legs, hips and I love their joints :) They pose so very well, also!!!!
       
      #133 leishaj777, Sep 19, 2012
    14. Soom is my favorite company, as my grail and the majority of my dolls are by Soom. I just love the aesthetic look of their dolls, and their fantasy parts are so beautiful! I also love Migidoll's sculpts, I can't get over how cute their boys are <3
       
      #134 AmberLeigh, Sep 20, 2012
    15. soom: the yumiest male sculps ever!!!
      iplehouse: same reason as above, but adding the gorgeous girls as well that are perfect for my couple construction needs XD

    16. Volks makes some lovely dolls, w/consistently excellent quality, but their marketing insanity just leaves me w/a bitter taste.

      IH :D Love so many of their sculpts :D & easy to deal with.

      Soom I love for not only making gorgeous dolls but also for being very responsive to their customers.

      Dikadoll, LoongSoul, Angell Studio & DollZone are all companies that I've gotten fabulous dolls from w/no drama :D

    17. Blue Fairy. Special May was the doll that made me realize what a great hobby this is. (Even though I'll prolly never own one OTL)
       
      #137 HollowDestruction, Oct 4, 2012
    18. Dollzone, because I like most of their sculpts and their aesthetic style agrees with my brain. Some of their newer works are a bit different and less my cup-of-tea (yet I still like a few of the new ones), but I'm glad to see them push the envelope anyways because variety is the spice of life. Their faceups are high quality even if sometimes they're a bit simple, and the dolls never have seams, even the freebie event dolls. Their heads come with eyes every time (even event freebies!).

      The company isn't perfect, and has been known to forget bits of orders or send a doll in the wrong resin color or without a faceup, but they are quick to fix things. They did drop the ball at the end of the Moment/Anson backlog by saying they would not cover damage to the dolls in the last leg of the journey (distributor to owner)... I lost a bit of respect for them over that, even though my Moment arrived in perfect condition, but they're still my favorite company. Their pros far outweigh their cons, and I look forward to new sculpts and all the critters on my wishlist that will come from DZ. :3

    19. Resinsoul - i love their resin colors and also sculpts are awesome. Another plus is that they arrive always nicely sanded :)

    20. I swear I answered this question already, so if I did, sorry. I'm a bit senile at times.

      For me---it's Iplehouse. I love the quality of the dolls, the poseability, and how truly human the dolls look. I haven't found any other company that ignites such a passion in me about their dolls.
