Favorite/Least favorite doll you own?

It's hard to pick a favorite, I have a small army and have been in the hobby forever....
However my top picks though are:
Thaddeus my 2nd ever male doll, he is the limited 50 version of the Elf Doll Rainy Aden. His reasons for making the "favorites list", he was my 2nd male BJD and 4th ever BJD. For having the most basic double jointed elbows and only single jointed style knees he pose pretty damn good. He's face up has lasted since I got him Halloween of 2008, and he has barely yellowed in that time. (he has yellowed but it has been very mild and very even.) Also his character means a lot to me, so he will always be a favorite.

Also a forever favorite is Kyle, both versions of him. Short version of an overly complex story, Kyle is a "shelled" O.C./RP character and has two different dolls as the character has two forms. Both versions have the same head which is an Iplehouse vampire Chris. The main diff is body and resin color, one is a gray skinned Iplehouse YID, and his other is a normal skinned SID Iplehouse. Also face ups the gray one has a company face up from when I got him, and the other has a custom face up done by one of my best friends. Both are fav dolls and I love how the Chris mold looks as a vampire. As for the differences in the dolls I love those too. I love YID bodies even if they are fiddley to pose, and on the flip side I also love how nice and easy SID model bodies pose. I love how both look. (even if I have plans to mod the SID version of Kyle slightly in the future.)

Lastly not so much a this one doll is a favorite, but more of these few dolls are favorites and why. I love the new Fairyland Feepole 60 male body, I can't say enough good things about how they pose and look. The one down side is hard to find clothing for them, but some Smart Doll stuff fits these guys so there is that. Also I love how any f60 doll can be male or female or non-binary based on how Fairyland does their doll heads and necks.

On the Flip side, I sold my first least favorite doll a long time ago. I wont call out company or doll mold, but it didn't pose well and the company sales photos were touched up to hide a glaring flaw of the doll, that in person said flaw was too much for me to overlook. It was a lovely doll, but not for me. I've sold a few dolls that I have fallen out of love with, or that were things like event gifts/event heads. If I can't bond or fall out of love with it, I've learned it's better to let dolls go. in most cases as I do still have one doll I can actually call my least fav. However vs selling that doll as it was from a cheaper company, I feel it will be of better use as a tool to learn how to do extreme mods on.

 

It's hard to pick a least favourite for me ;w;
basically i luv them all, so i keep them with me.

My all time favourite should be my SWITCH RYUZO twins, they were my OCs which i created when i was small. I spent lots of time to make a BJD version of them, selecting the models, the body types, finding a suitable face up artist for them etc...

 

My favorite doll right now would be Peakswoods Gumiho Miro. I don't have a favorite male doll yet. My least favorite is Doll Chateau Kyra because she cost a lot for her size and I don't have anything in her size. She is a pretty doll, but I'm not sure I want to put effort into this doll.

I always regret my Idealian dolls because right after I finish paying off the doll a new more handsome Idealian doll is for sale. With idealian I can never decide which face sculpt I like best and if I should wait for the next doll for sale. That's why I think I would consider my Idealian as my least favorite male dolls because I keep wanting their new dolls right after I finished paying off the previous one which makes me regret the previous doll. It's an endless cycle of buying then regretting then wanting the next doll of theirs that look so handsome. I don't want to part with any of my idealians, but maybe once I find the one I like best I will sell some.

 

My favorite dolls are Doll Chateau Gladys and now my Fairyland Luha on a Doll Leaves body. I love them for their overall look and their face-ups are so very beautiful. I think some times I may have a least favorite but then I pick them up and I change my mind.

 

Elfie (RML R20J/Volks Swarrico hybrid) is my favourite. She was one of my first few BJD and has never been ousted from the favourite place.

Least favourite... is a hard one. The ones I don't mesh with tend to get moved on.
Mal (44cm Limho Mono)... gets the least attention/play, I suppose. But it's more becuase he's, by character, quiet and shy and blends into the background, not really because he isn't a favourite.
Winnie (DollsTown Aline 5Year)... it's more that I don't like the only name that worked for her.

So I don't really have a reply forleast-favourite

My favorite doll is my dear Emmeline! I bought her from a friend and love her to bits.

I've sold my least favorite dolls by now. (They were mostly off-topic.) I'd have to say that I was most disappointed with my Bobobie Elfkin, Johnny. He was super cute but had a terrible time posing! More recent bodies by that company have been much better though.

 

Favorite: Pukifee Ante
Least favorite: Lati White Hana, I like the sculpt, resin, and faceup but she’s just too tiny so I can’t find a variety of clothes and shoes. She is cute as a doll for the yosds but she would be the first to go if I sold any.

 

I would have to say that my absolute favorite (although I absolutely love and am bonded to each and every one of them) is Bohemia Rose, my Dollzone Anson (see avatar.) I’d been contentedly collecting for about 4 years, and I was looking for a sculpt I could really turn into a grand art statement. When Dollzone released their flower dolls, I was completely mesmerized! Nothing short of the devil walking through the front door would have kept me from getting this doll! Once she arrived, I spent an entire month’s worth of 8 hour days completing her artwork. When she was done, with an equally huge and definitive character attached, she simply eclipsed every other doll I owned and they became redundant. So I sold all the others, and began my collection anew, focussed around her. It was the best decision I ever made, and I’ve been happily building my collection ever since.

For my least favorite, Although I truly do love him to bits and would never, ever let him go, it’s my little Realpuki, Casper (Fairyland Obi.) I mean, really? That’s a face only a mother could love. But it’s absolutely perfect for his goofy, ghostly little character. So he’ll never be going anywhere.

 

Ok so I would love to contribute, though it's harder to say favorite and least favorite exactly. It's easier to say dolls who do not make me crazy vs dolls who make me crazy I'm also no stranger to selling off dolls I really don't like so there have been many who did not make the cut up to the current day.

Current day:
Mirodoll 60cm boy body is the uncontested worst body I own and probably could own. But it isn't bothering me because I feel with this specific body it has enough pros at the price point to be worth being a bit stupid. The head I use on it I don't like proportionally on any other body I ever tried.
Loongsoul ChenXing will always be the champion of dolls I find difficult. She has gigantic boobs, very long, thin legs, and a tiny wasp waist. Which i mean... Is why I bought her but sewing is not so fun as an added bonus she was an early doll of mine and I don't really like the face style either. It's beautiful just not the round face shape I ended up preferring. But I've decided that even though I have all these troubles with her I think I will keep her forever because I do love her regardless.
Bobobie Pandora is really annoying to pose in my opinion and like ChenXing has the longer or heart face shape that I really don't love but once again I don't think I'll get rid of her anytime soon. I guess I just love punishment but I do need to remember never to buy that face shape again.
Eh this has been an example more than anything of how the hobby impairs your judgement I guess

I don't know how to say favorite, I love them all so much lol. And my mood changes a bit on them.

 

Thank you! She's a cutie. And apparently quite rare. I've never seen another!

 

My favorite is definitely my Dream Valley Chaos - literally everything I like in a doll both sculptwise and themewise rolled up into one extremely unwieldy four-legged package. The body surely has its quirks but I'm familiar with them at this point and they don't bother me much. My wife thinks it's funny I tried to act like I didn't want him based on how much I baby him now haha.

Least favorite... I don't dislike any of my dolls, but if I had to call one out it's probably my tan MDD. Inexplicably the frame has been 100x fussier and prone to disassembly than my other two DDs ever since he came home from Dream Choice. I've done a lot of maintenance on it but all the tightening in the world and he still doesn't want to keep one of his arms up Sometimes I just want to shake him, not that it would help.

I'm writing this with him directly next to me though, so he's not exactly unloved - both dolls are actually different versions of the same OC, in fact. Funny how that works out.

 

I have not regretted getting non-standard body dolls. Back when I started the hobby what qualified as easy to dress seemed very limited anyway (basically Volks standard sizes) but the girl I was complaining about is another level over most. But she was the one I can thank the most for teaching me sewing so I have no serious complaints. there is a lot to be said for how you look at things, it's ok if problems are discouraging but I think some people don't mind persistent challenges a lot.

 

It's hard to pick because I have a hard time separating doll from character. Like Bren (Migidoll Siho on MYOU body) and Cooper (Migidoll Cynical Yujin soon to be on Luts Muse body) are my favorite characters and I do love their sculpts, but I think going strictly by full doll only, Opaline (ResinSoul Mi) or Elsa (Zaoll Luv) might be my favorites. I love that they're not hybrids, and both are so pretty from head to toe!

My least favorite is this old Migidoll body I have. It looks fine, but the posing is pretty bad and I don't know how to make it better. Restringing didn't help. Sueding didn't help. I don't like wired dolls.

EDIT: Getting Cooper on that Luts Muse body has definitely made him one of the favorotes now! It's one of the prettiest make bodies I've seen and poses so well! And now he also has 4 heads he alternates between...so...yeah. He's the fave. But I also got Monroe (Dollmore Kara Klum) since I posted this, and I adore that guy too! So...probably between those two and Opaline.

 

My favorite is my Iplehouse Mari. If I had to give up every doll but one - she would be the one I would keep. She was my first BJD love, and that old charm is still there. I smile every time I see her. Love her so much.

My least favorite? Even though it is an absolutely beautiful, gorgeous doll, my Dolfie Dream, and for one very simple reason: the staining. It's dreadful. A wig briefly (like, an hour, tops) touched a DD hand, and now the hand is stained. Stuff that doesn't stain my BJDs or playline/off-topic dolls stains the vinyl. Even after I soak all clothing, it stains the vinyl. I love the doll. Do not love how high-maintenance it is. And the vinyl feels so fragile in comparison to resin.

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion, lol.

 

My least favorite doll is my DIM girl. I bought her secondhand through a WTB and the prev owner I think modified the hooks in her hands and feet, so the caps over her wrists get stuck all the time and she's impossible to pose. She's also incredibly difficult to shop for, and that's one of the biggest reasons why I wound up getting rid of all my MSDs over 45cm tall. Still, I'm not getting rid of her because I love her face and proportions too much.

 

I have a very difficult time separating doll from character, and because of that picking a favorite isn't that easy. But, I would have to say my favorite characters are Cory (DZ Shengxi/AoD 1st gen), Bella (DZ Orlando/AoD), and Willow (Obitsu Laura/50cm). Those three are my favorite characters, but I also love their sculpts (Cory so much that he's one of triplets because I have 3 of that head). If I had to go strictly off the doll itself with no knowledge of their character, I'd likely still pick Cory, or my Mirodoll Mika or 5Star Michelle.
Least favorite, again, comes down to character, since it would be my BBB Charisma boy. Great sculpt and decent body, but the character has been difficult for me to bond with so it's just... meh.

 

My #1 favorite of my squad is my Dream Valley Bless, Ghost. The next runner-up is Webb, my Dream Valley Rah. Cross, my Dream Valley Chaos, is also amongst my favorites. Those are the ones that I handle most often.

Least favorites are probably my Resinsoul Mei, Resinsoul Nian, and Dollzone yosd Little Rain. It's no surprise that they were all impulse purchases that I ind of regret now.
