Favorite/Least favorite doll you own?

Oct 11, 2022

    1. I think it would be kind of mean to pick one to be my least favorite. I bought them all and keep them with me, they wouldn't be home by now if I secretly considered any of them my 'least favorite'.
      My favourite is Lianda, of course, the lovely smile of the Narae 412 brightens my day everyday. Her body (LegendDoll 42cm), on the other side, may be my least favourite part of any of my dolls because the back bends weird all the time and it's really hard for her to stand and even harder to pose... She's in desperate need of a hot glue and maybe wiring and I cross my fingers for this to solve it.

    2. I currently have 5 dolls and one head. The one that just arrived still has no faceup but I have solid plans for it and if they work out, she's gonna be so loveable <3 So it's hord to tell now.

      However, I jurdge my favouring in the following manner:
      If I were to keep only one, I'd keep my sleeping Supia Lina, but not sure if on the boy's body still (he's a boy now).
      If I were to keep only two, I'd keep my Supia Lina boy and my BC Kaorin girl. They're a couple.
      If I were to keep only three, I'd keep the said couple and my Volks Nana. She's been with me the longest and I love her.
      If I were to keep only four (so gie away one full doll and one head), I'd probably keep the three mentioned above and my Supia Rosy but see if it fits the Zaoll body.

      So... turns out, the Supia Body and the Zaoll Luv face are what I like the least... The supia body is just too booby (however beautifully sculpted) and the Zaoll head... it'd need a different faceup, but I'm just being stingy :P

      I am, however, emotionally attached only to the three dolls I love best: Supia Lina, BC Kaorin and VS Nana. Supia Rosy and Zaoll Luv are lovely but I don't feel connected to them. They lack "personality"... Maybe it's because I didn't paint them myself and did no modifications on them at all?

    3. I love my dolls, but I do have favorites and a least favorite. My most favorite dolls are my Harucasting Morae and my Souldoll Vito Liam. My least favorite doll is my Feeple60 Momo, she is cute, but I am not sure what to do with her.

    4. My favorite doll usually goes between Erina (Minifee Alicia), Londyn (Harucasting Ippo), and Kellan (Harucasting Its), I call them my "comfort dolls." I love all of my dolls but those three are the ones I've bonded with the most. I have the hardest time bonding with my Si Cang Ahe and Minifee Chloe. I think with Ahe it's because he's a WS doll and even though I LOVE his character and his look, I'm just not a fan of WS. I have no idea why I'm struggling bonding with Chloe, I adore her faceup. I ordered her a new custom wig to see if that helps

    5. My favorite is Hina, my Lieselotte. She is the cutest and I never expected to be able to get one. I'll never let her go now!!

      My least favorite is my fullset Littlefee Leah. She's cute but fullsets aren't really my thing and neither are tinies. I could just dress her in something else but getting myself to sew that small is like pulling teeth.

    6. When it comes to favorites, it can be hard to sometimes separate the bjd from the character they're shelled as. If I were to go by bjd aesthetics alone, my favorites would be amongst these three: Mundei (Dollshe King Corey, he's my one true grail in the bjd hobby), Nira (Imp|doll Azalea, for her custom resin color and her poseability), and Tahno (Dikadoll/Popodoll hybrid—the one in my avatar, and...just because :XD:). Tahmos (Fantasia doll Isaac/Ringdoll RGM-3 hybrid, for the lovely body sculpting) and Aqqen (Fantasia doll Jin/Arkdoll hybrid, he's a great sloucher and I love his facial features) would be close followups.

      Least favorites...that’s a tough one. Least faves usually get rehomed, and it's hard to say which of my current crew would be a default least favorite. The ones from my rehomed list (most are bodies over full dolls): Classy doll 66cm boy body (it had the most awkward body proportions, and the knees were known to be especially fragile), Mirodoll 65cm male body (the posing was atrocious, but the real clincher was the wonky single-jointed knees), and B&G Triya (she was my first bjd, and I wasn't able to bond with her long-term due to change in aesthetics tastes—and her generic, child-like appearance).

      If I were to pick a least favorite from my current bunch…it would probably be Kismet (Fairyland minifee Mika/Mir). I don't dislike her by any margin, she is just the farthest from my preferred aesthetic amongst my crew.

    7. My favorite is all 3 of my Bambicrony Emilys! And my least favorite...is all of the ones I've sold over the years lol. I am very happy with my current collection of 6.

    8. I think it's really funny the reactions that it's too mean to pick a least favorite because I saw the thread title and was like "aw, nooo the poor dolls" :XD:
      To be extremely honest, I am so obsessively emotionally invested in my dolls that I have a predictable cycle of idealization and devaluation which is exhausting and I don't recommend it. It's most realistic for me to look at my collection as: dolls I feel positive about most of the time, dolls I love but also get easily frustrated with, and dolls that so far frustrate me more often than not. I also have a sad army of ones I'm currently trying to guilt myself into loving more but realistically am just a bit apathetic about. It's all very stupid :XD:

      The matrix of what creates the different feelings is a bit complicated but it's mostly summed up by, my favorites are ones that are photogenic enough that I don't disappoint myself, are easy enough to do with whatever I'm wanting to do and I know and feel excited or happy or comfortable about whatever their visual and character concept is.
      The least favorites are just ones that are more work than fun at the time.

    9. My favorite is probably tied between Louise, my Telesthesia and Dragon DiFei, and Liam, my Immortality of Soul Valentine. Louise was my very first doll and I am super attached to her. Liam...He is just my baby. I have only had him finished about 6 months but I just adore him. He is already my second most spoiled doll behind Louise.
      Least favorite is probably my Resinsoul Twilight. I just can't bond with her. She has completely rejected every wig, every pair of eyes, every outfit and every character I have tried to give her. I just don't know what to do with her. I don't dislike her, I'm just tired of her being unfinished.

    10. least faves feels mean but I have several dolls who have quirks that drive me INSANE.

      My mirodoll 1/4 girl has the worst engineered body i've ever seen. The hands have oval shaped wrists which then are trying to ram into a round hole and obviously it doesn't work. The arms can barely bend... it's just all around terrible. But it was cheap and the colour I needed for a hybrid. But i'd never buy another.

      My spirtdoll girl has HUGE boobs which I find really offputting. She was secondhand so had I had the option i'd have never gotten her with that bust size. She's gorgeous otherwise but those boobs... yikes. I've considered in the past sanding the damn things.

      speaking of sanding giant titties, my bobobie ariel got this done. She was another secondhand doll and bobobie's larger bust is really big but also not very well sculpted imo. I hated how her giant nipples poked through everything and how her bust looked like a big shelf so I took a dremel to her. She still has quite a bust but it's more acceptable to my eye and she lost her nipnops hahaha.
      MUCH better.

      The double jointed resinsoul boy and girl bodies drive me nuts too. I HATE those elbow caps they use. They spin and interfere with the arm rotation and arghhhh. The boy one seems worse and it drives me mad. My resinsoul Ming also has really annoying legs that refuse to stay in the hip.
      But I love my resinsoul dolls for their colours and their face sculpts. I just really dislike the engineering on a lot of the bodies. It's super frustrating. It's why most of my later resinsoul purchases have been their newer body types because they have proper peanut joints.

      ALL my dollchateau yosd dolls can't stand. Not one of them. The tension of the elastic through those absolutely tiny channels results in a doll with uneven tension and floppy bits and no amount of restringing or trying to tighten things up seems to help. I just cannot get them to stand and it's upsetting because I LOVE their sculpting but they fall on their face constantly. ARGH.

      Faves? I have to admit, my medieval fantasy crew have a special place in my heart. They were my first bjd group and all of them have a whole backstory and stuff. They were a PAIN to get clothes for, but I love how much personality they seem to have even just standing on my shelf.
      All of them are resinsoul dolls now. I recently reshelled one of them from a hujoo body which drove me mad to a newer resinsoul which is such a huge improvement omg.
      He needs restringing because he's super floppy right now, but I love his face so much.

    11. OMG I had one of those Mirodoll bodies. Drove me NUTS. 100% a square peg in a round hole situation.
      I don't know if you're interested in rebodying, but the newer Resinsoul bodies have much smaller busts (especially the new Shi body).
      I use plastic-coated wire to keep the legs from twisting, TBH.

    12. Yah she's a specific colour so it works okay. I ended up sticking some resinsoul hands on which fit soooo much better omg.

    13. If I had to choose just one, my Latidoll M would be my favorite, as he was my first doll. Joining him in the "you're stuck with me forever" crew are my Crobidoll Heena & my Luts Winter 2014 SDF. All three of them are so expressive and I adore their faces!

      My least favorite is actually the body of my Crobidoll Heena. I love her so, so much, but I despise the body she's on and want to replace it. It's beautiful, but even with recent sueding and restringing it does not pose well at all, and it's so heavy that it's much harder to compensate for that than you can with 1/4 scale and smaller. It's also very unstable in basically any position. As such, I don't do much with her and that makes me very sad since she's so gorgeous.

    14. My favorite doll is probably my moss fairy, Amethyst; I love her customizations! She's so fabric, literally!

      My least favorite, I'm not sure. Maybe the smaller two, Sno and Pavasaris, which I'm giving soon!

    15. It's a tie between my SDM Oliver and YoTenshi Yuki!
      Yuki was a restoration project I've grown attached to, but Oliver is so beautiful I'm in awe still.

    16. My least favorite doll is also my most spoiled one? In my attempt to bond with her, she has more clothes and props than any other doll in my collection. Combined. She's easy to shop for at least, being a 1/6 size and a child. Sooo..... Lots of miniature toys and plush toys lol.

    17. My favorite doll is my girl, Nola. She's an Aimerai Scraps head on a DC Y-body-04. She is just so beautiful to me and I love sewing for her. I just bought a new doll, but Nola will always be my girl. I tend to sell dolls that I am not absolutely in love with. I have a DC Ada and a Dividing Line doll from the blind boxes, and I enjoy them and don't have plans to sell them, but if I had to sell a doll for any reason, it would be one of them before Nola. I hope that I create the same bond with the doll I just bought. I am in love with her head, but I am not 100% sure about her body, and bodies are a big part of dolls for me.

    18. Tied in between my Simply Divine Thomas and my Soom Sard. My mom always tells me her favorite is Thomas :XD: I love my others just as much but those two seem to get my most attention. I had a few dolls I didn’t love as much as I thought I would when they arrived, my Iplehouse Ron comes to mind but over the years I have felt a stronger connection to him and some of those others.

      In terms of least favorite I have a few project dolls here including a MYOU doll that I ended up not liking the headsculpt very much.

    19. I always joke that if I had to keep just one doll, "it'd be Stella and I'd hide Pip in my pocket". Stella is my OOAK hybrid Fairlyand Littlefee Pipi with Soom Ai hooves and a lot of modwork I did all myself. She's a singularly individual dolly and I could never replace her. I just adore her.

    20. As far as the actual doll goes and not the character, my angelphilia Sizuka (Amry) is my treasure :love She has such a cute little face and her lips are so sweet; I had planned on customizing her faceup when I got her but the one she came with has such pretty painting on the lips I can't find it in me to wipe it. And the body is so nice, I'm a sucker for soft skin vinyl and there's an attention to detail that I really like. She is difficult to find clothes for though. I'm not a huge fan of some of angelphilias more... Extreme features, but I did end up getting a slightly bigger bust for her which is difficult to accommodate with MSD sizes. :sweat

      I think ATM my least favorite is my BBB Sui. I like the face well enough, even though his head is a bit small so it looks kind of off next to my other dolls. I HATE the body though. I was super excited about the dragon body but it's super clunky and you can really tell it wasn't meant for posing. On the plus side with the tail he stands really well lol... He'll be getting a new body soon so hopefully that'll help.
