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 many extra parts do you have for a doll?

Sep 4, 2023

    1. As the title says - how many extra parts have you gotten your dolls (or how many did they come with)? What do you usually get? Heeled feet, extra heads, horns? Who in your collection has the most bits and how often do you swap them out?

    2. Usually, none. :sweat I have one doll in my whole collection with high heel feet, and one pair of geta feet for another doll. I'm not into swapping parts and realistically just won't do it.
       
    3. Some of my dolls have 2 sets of hands or feets. My one Latidoll has an extra head even. But I don't tend to do extra parts unless I know I will use them.
       
    4. Hands.

      I have. So. Many. Hands.

      Mostly Volks, because I go nuts whenever there's order periods for them; you can't just buy them whenever you want to. However, I'm so lazy about changing them out. Still, I have them if I want them...:sweat:XD:

    5. Usually, I have hands, but not many, perhaps an extra set of fists.
      I also have three Unoa faceplates (missing the winking face one) and I would love to get some extra hands for her too.
       
    6. My favorite extra parts are my alternate heads, for at least six of my existing character dolls. I love changing their expressions. Three are sleep heads, one is a "romantic" head, one has "laughing" closed eyes, one has alternate kabuki makeup, and one is a grumpy face. I wish I had more of them!

    7. I love optional parts, but I only own one BJD with them. My FL Chic Line Rou was available with an optional sleeping face plate and a second set of hands. So, I got those for him. I have been a 1:6 scale action figure collector for a long time, probably way before I even discovered these dolls existed (back in the dark ages). So, I always wanted to own many optional parts for all my dolls. I probably rarely do much with 1:6 hands, because they are mostly a pain in the gut to switch out, but the FL CL ones are magnetic so they are easy to switch for photos. They are about the size of 1:6 hands so the magnets are not strong enough to have the doll holding much, unlike action figures. I still like having options, even if I don't do anything with them. I particularly love the optional sleeping plate and I always loved CP's hands, even got some pairs for my DZ mini years before I even contemplated owning a Fairyland doll.

      I wish they had made more opional parts for their CL, but sadly that will probably never be. At least more hand options would have been nice. I would have liked horns, wings, masks, a lot of random things I could hoard and do nothing with (because I am nuts!).(:

    8. I will sometimes get extra hands or heel feet.
       
    9. I tend to buy extra hands but then rarely, if ever use, them.
      BUT YOU NEVER KNOW!!!:eek:

    10. I have 2 pairs extra hands for all my dolls, heel feet for my girls, and a second (sleeping) head for all my human dolls! So like...a lot, I have them in a drawer in my doll space haha, except for the heads which I keep on headstands (whichever is not on the doll at the moment). I use them frequently. I'm trying to get into photography and it gives more options to have different heads/hands/feet.
       
    11. I have an extra pair of feet for three of my dolls because I swapped all of them for heel feet. Also have an extra pair of hands for one of them. When I was new I thought I had to get jointed hands for all of them, but it turns out they are kind of a hassle so I'm glad I only got one pair.
      The extra parts are all sitting in their respective boxes, I don't use them. I got one of my dolls an extra pair of eyes, but I have yet to use them haha. I would also like to get some horns someday.
       
    12. My Spirit Doll girls all have extra high-heeled lower legs with solid rather than jointed ankles. A couple of my Volks SD16 girls have those, too. Oscar has them along with several different pairs of extra hands.

      Some of my Soom guys have both hooved legs and normal ones, plus horns or masks. The Spirit Doll guys have... magnetic bits. Several of them each.

      My LatiDoll Largo probably wins the prize for having the most extra parts, though. He came with a spare head and hands, wings, a pretty wicked warhammer and a resin helmet/headdress... plus his outfit and jewelry, since he was a full-set.

    13. My MSD girl has high-heel feet in her current body and my Yo-SD girl came with several pairs of hands and a pair of resin sneakers that I love to pieces. I always find it tiring having to swap those parts, so I don't usually use them much if the situation doesn't specifically require it (when seasons change, for example).
       
    14. With my last arrival, I ordered all the extras which included three additional heads and an extra pair of hands! I intend to get even more parts for him, mainly dragon themed fantasy parts :chibi I already got some gorgeous horns, and have some ear parts on the way. I'd like to get him some jointed hands as well for general customization.

    15. Right now all I have is one set of 4 pairs of hands in tea & cinnamon for my Smart Dolls to share. If you had asked me this question say 4 years ago, my Bishonen House Steve had around 20 face plates and 3 pairs of hands I could change finger positions on due to soft plastic when put in boiling water, then cold. My other two BH guys had around 6 each in face plates and 2 pairs of hands.
       
    16. The most I have is for my Pukifee Ena full set, she has a sleeping faceplate, antlers, resin shoes, and extra hands. I usually only get one pair of extra hands, the extra hands that come with certain company dolls, or a sleeping faceplate but I found Ena second hand and was happy to have so many extra parts that I wouldn’t normally buy.
       
    17. Ahhh I don't but I would LOVE to have extra hands for my Soony. That could be so cute to play around with.

    18. Hm, my first doll with extra parts was Maskcat Doll Lisette. She came with a pair of loose fist-like hands and hee feet. I also ordered her extra ballet feet. I change her hands maybe a couple of times a year, but she always has a mix of the two sets of hands. So I use them both equally. I also love her heel feet and ballet feet. She hardly ever uses flat feet, maybe because I still haven't bought her proper flat shoes to wear. Before her, I was sure I didn't need any extra parts, but fists and heels are now must for my girls.
       
    19. I get heeled feet when the option is there so i can buy heels. I buy extra hands too, but i don't know why i bother. I'm too lazy to change them. :lol:
       
    20. If the default hands aren't good enough, I get a pair or two, usually in a holding gesture or more relaxed hands. I try to get every available part of the doll, although it gets expensive fast. If there's two horn types being offered with the doll, I want to get both and etc. I don't think I would ever get heeled feet for dolls though.
