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.

Grail Companies/Artists?

Feb 1, 2016

    1. Alrighty so I'll start with the mandatory "I searched for this and didn't see any threads but have mercy if there actually was one I missed." Anyway!
      I was wondering if anyone else is like me in that they have companies or artists who they really want to own a doll from someday or whose dolls just strike a chord with them. *Not* a particular sculpt from the company but that company's aesthetic/style/etc. My biggest ones are Angel Philia, Switch, Soom, Peaks Woods (but mostly their ltd fantasy color FOCs) and Volks. Since most of these are companies with weird ordering times/processes that could be part of what draws me to them. But basically my point is that almost every time I see a doll from these companies, I fall in love. I want to own at least one of each of their dolls someday :whee:
      Do you guys have companies or artists like this, that you would pretty much want almost any sculpt from?
       
    2. Luts and Fairyland. For artist dolls, Atelier Momoni.
       
    3. Mostly Volks for me, though I do really like Pipos and wouldn't mind getting my hands on several of their sculpts.
       
    4. I'd say Migidoll for me! I love their sculpts, despite not...owning one myself....lol >_>
       
    5. For me, its art-bimong, twigling, merry doll round, and magic mirror. I would own several of their sculpts, plus duplicates of the same sculpt and i'd still want more!
       
    6. Soom and Immortality of Soul. I love Soom's fantasy aesthetic and own my favorites. For a long time I sought after many of their sculpts . Immortality of Soul is another company I've admired for years, and I placed an order for a recent release that I fell in love with. I find their face sculpts to be really intriguing, and love the look of their bodies. I can't wait to have one of their dolls in my collection!
       
    7. Kaye Wiggs is my grail artist. Her head sculpts are so beautiful and unique. I would love to own any one of her dolls, though I doubt I'll ever be able to. I also really love the aesthetic of Soom's dolls.
       
    8. I think Crobidoll's are my favorites but I also really like Ringdoll and Doll Chateau.
       
    9. Lillycat!! Love her...
       
    10. Definitely DollZone and Doll Chateau~ <3
      I like how they have many options for bodies and faces that look obviously different from one another, but still match each other.

      I also recently started having a crush on FairyLand dolls because of their new FairyLine. They made it so easy to switch out parts on that doll, and I think it's really smart/neat.
       
    11. Loongsoul, definitely. I love the aesthetic of their largest dolls, but the price is too much for me right now, and the wait time is daunting as well. Still, I hope I'll be able to get a couple some time in the future.
       
    12. I'm such a Doll Chateau fiend, so I would have to say DC for me. Their elongated bodies were the first things I was really drawn to when I started researching BJDs. I honestly want almost all of their sculpts :love I also pine over (this may sound weird) Ringdoll heads and male bodies only. Recently I've been drooling over Souldoll!
       
    13. The grail of grails for me would be the one I know I CAN'T get. An Enaibi. Any one, really. But they are hard to get and SO expensive and I cannot justify it.
      Lumedoll has my number, I have 3 and want to save for a 4th. Twigling's dolls are stunning, I want at least one lol. Same for Lilycat. And like half the rest of the hobby, I am madly in love with Iplehouse and Fairyland/CP dolls. :p
       
    14. Enaibi, definitely. Any of them. I wish we could order from her but... ;_; After Enaibi, Magic Mirror. :3 I already own my grail from Soom!
       
    15. WinterRain Studio always makes beautiful sculpts. I just can't get over the fact that they only have male bodies for their wonderful heads and I am only interested in girl dolls for now. If they did make a girl body and started offering face-ups for all their sculpts (I don't like the hassle of resin matching for hybrids), my path is surely to go downhill really fast (I mean that by jumping off a cliff).
       
    16. Doll Chateau and Dollzone for me... ^ ^; I don't know what it is about their sculpts but I just love them...
       
    17. Immortality of Soul, Crobidoll, Napidoll, RSDoll. I like LUTS and Souldoll. Doll Chateau too XD
       
    18. Fairyland, fairyland and let me think.... fairyland!! I love their dolls so much, I already own a couple of minifees, but I want one of every size eventually.
       
    19. Nefer Kane, Lillycat and Twigling. Completely obsessed. I will end up in big trouble from them.
       
    20. My grail companies are: La legende de temps, Latidoll (yellow line), Immortality of Soul and Granado.

      Every time I check their websites, the dolls I want are sold out. :(
