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/Least favorite doll you own?

Oct 11, 2022

    1. My Mayfair Sweet is the pride and joy of my small collection. She is currently the only artist doll I own, but I love her because she is super unique and I am pretty sure they aren't made anymore.

    2. I dont really like my doll leaves Matthew, he looked nice in the photos but when I got him I wasn't so thrilled..I mean he is nice I guess but meh. so now he just sits in the corner of a display case.

      I can't really explain why I don't like him, maybe because it's a small doll ? I don't know. My absolute favourite though is my dollmore lusion (I'm saving up for another one I think haha)

      It made me realise that I do prefer the bigger dolls.
       
    3. My current favorite is between volks Cain and kurumi ... :D
       
    4. Ooh this one's tough. I can pick out things i love and don't love about all my dolls, i think, but i'm not sure i have a "least favourite" necessarily. (At least, not in the crew i'm keeping!)

      i think my favourite overall has to be the girl in my profile image, Aurélie (Souldoll Kuu vampire). She's one of two dolls i bought before developing a character and i absolutely love her. My only critiques are the well-known mobility issues with the SoulKid bodies (hers is the "NL big breast" version) and its weird wrists especially.
      Briar (a Unoa Chibi Lilin) is a close second, and the other doll i bought before having a character! i love her so much i want to hybrid her to be closer to a 1/4 scale, then reuse the body (because i looooove Unoa bodies!)
      Another might get added to the "favourites" list when my Withdoll Rachel vampire's body arrives, she'll be a DFH hybrid.

      i guess if i were really pressed i'd say my least favourite might be my Pukifee Luna. i'm not a big Fairyland fan usually, and i think i got the worse end of the trade i got her in, including a few pieces of undisclosed minor damage. But she's perfect for the character i made for her, and she's utterly adorable, and i'm definitely not getting rid of her.

      i've sold on most of the dolls i would actually call my "least favourite". For example, i currently have a doll and a floating head that i got that i really hoped to bond with, but they aren't a scale i can work with, so they're up for sale. i've sold more dolls than i've kept at this point, but now i've got a much better idea of what i want for my crew and which dolls i'll bond with.

    5. It's hard to pick just a favorite, but I think out of my completed dolls that my Peaks Woods Vampire Fairy Mona. My favorite sculpt overall is my Peaks Woods Hunky Dory, even though she's just a head right now.

      My least favorite is my Doll Leaves Betty. It's not like she's a bad doll or anything, she's just not my aesthetic and doesn't really fit in with my other dolls.

    6. favorite dolls: eslyndoll, popovy sisters, chimeradoll. Unloved dolls do not live with me. If I don’t like the doll, then she leaves to live in another house.

    7. Yeah... I'm thinking it's time to rehome somebody.

    8. I don't have a favourite or least favourite doll, I love all of them.

      Objectively, I do not like tiny dolls, but even the one tiny doll I have is not my least favourite. She was my one and only grail tiny and I feel her place is perfect in my group, being the littlest one.

      I think if I could envision a doll being a least favourite, it probably means that it doesn't belong in my collection.

    9. My favorite doll changes depending on who I'm handling at the time, tbh. All of my doll exist in a nebulous space where I love them all and feel nothing for them all at the same time, and whenever I focus on one, my feelings come back. Then there are those where the love no longer exists. Those least favorites tend to be ones I'm ready to sell, and like others have said, least favorites don't stay in my collection for long.

    10. Favorite resin BJD is probably Maryse, because of her convenient size, poseability, and sentimental value- but I have only two (soon to be three), so I don't really have a least favorite. As other people have said, if I don't like a doll, I don't hang onto her for very long.

    11. I tend to cycle through who gets the most attention at different times but my consistent faves are Michi (DZ shoyo hybrid) and Nuoyi (Doll Legend Nuoyi hybrid). I feel like Vickie and Nonoo get the least attention, although I do love their lil faces a lot so I would't quite call them "least favourite", they just get their turn less often. I also tend to prefer my dolls for different reasons, so it's not always comparable.

      Like for many others, the least favourites just get sold after a while. I try to keep my collection small in numbers, which means lining them up and downsizing every now and then, but preferences change and I'd rather not have "filler" I'm unable to enjoy as much.

    12. My most favored doll in my collection is definitely Aiyu, thanks to her status as my grail and being the original roots that later grew into the tree of my dolls' "story." While she's not always the doll I reach for or think about (everyone gets their turn!), she gets more than her fair share of time in the spotlight.

      I wouldn't say I have a least favorite in my resin collection. If pressed, I may say Marcie, as she is the farthest from being "complete" out of my existing crew, or Phoebe, as she strays the farthest from my typical scaling preferences, or any of my floaters by virtue of being floaters, but I wouldn't say I'm lukewarm on any of them, let alone actively dislike them. As with others, dolls I'm neutral-to-negative about don't stick around for very long, not when the money gained from selling them can be used to fund something I like better.
       
    13. Whoever I'm handling at the moment is my favorite, lol. Though I think Minka (Miyadoll Vivienne), Saga (DF-H Xiao Chan) and Aino (Dollmore Illua Lillia) get the most attention. Minka and Saga I'm the most emotionally attached to, and Aino's face fixes all my problems in 0.5 seconds.

      Least favorite at the moment is probably Pihla (Monday/Qianhe Zhizhi) but that's only because of my internal struggle of wanting to mod her face some more but really not wanting to redo her faceup...
      (Truthfully, my newest addition, a Huajing and Fatemoons hybrid is the least loved in my collection, but that's only because I haven't had the time to give her a face up or make a wig or clothes. Who knows how obsessed I'll become when I get to paint her)
