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.

How loyal are you to specific doll makers?

Nov 19, 2020

    1. My collection consists of Soom almost exclusively. I just love their aesthetic; their faces are just really interesting and ethereal in my opinion. Their customer service has always been great. The resin, faceup/blush, and clothing has been of nice and consistent quality from what I've purchased. I'm not a fan of every single sculpt they've released, therefore I wouldn't buy just because it's Soom, but I'm continually drawn to their new creations when I've had such a wonderful experience and enjoy their dolls so much. I also adore my Immortality of Soul Kuroshitsuji Cast Dolls, they are gorgeous and truly works of art. If they released other characters that I liked, I would purchase them in a heartbeat.

    2. I don't wanna say I'm really dedicated to any brand, but right now, I'm on a Volks train.

    3. If money were no object I would have ALL of Lillycat's dolls and a TON of Dust of Dolls. But I tend to buy from everywhere. I would also own a lot more Volks if they weren't so hard to buy and- again- if money was no object. Early on when Soom started making fantasy dolls I went on a huge Soom kick. Discovered I didn't like their large dolls, but then they made TINIES and I bought SO MANY of their Teeny Gems. But I ended up pairing down in the last few years and my tastes changed again.

      NOW, if money were no object I would have a ton of 2D Dolls. I like the anime heads a lot now and I like a lot of company's anime heads. I LOVED Doll Chateau but never invested in them.

    4. 3 out of 4 of my dolls are Doll Chateau, but I think that's coincidence more than loyalty. Especially now that I have a doll from another company (finally), I'm definitely more excited to go after others!

    5. I'm considering purchasing a Soom Teeny Gem. Do you think they are worth it?
       
    6. I like the Soom teeny gems! they are super cute. I don't love their elbow joints but other than that they are very nice.

    7. I had a fondness for Soom and Dollshe dolls when I started in the hobby. Soom after Volks was the company that got me into BJDs. But then I discovered Iplehouse and their sculpts fit the image that I wanted for my dolls perhaps the most. But I don’t really know if I am loyal to any one company.
