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 would you feel if there's a doll that look like you?

Jan 23, 2013

    1. that'll be kinda creepy looking at myself 24/7 xD the interesting thing about it is i can try new hairstyle and face-up on the doll and different styles. but i would not get a doll that look like me
       
    2. I would be a little creeped out, but in the end I'd get her (only with a smaller chest).
      I would dress her in all the things I wish I could wear and probably buy tons of wigs and shoes for her.
       
    3. Two words: "John Malkovich"
       
    4. Poor doll! Nobody deserves that.
       
    5. I'd buy her scale art supplies, copy a few of my favorite outfits, and tell her all my secrets. Then I'd leave her home a lot because Xavier is the one that gets out.

      Somewhere out there is an off topic Kim the artist when I gave some AA dolls to a little mommy who was so delighted she named one after me. Since I make fan dolls I wouldn't mind if someone made a doll of me.
       
    6. If a doll looked so eerily similar that it was undeniably my little twin, I would, yes, be slightly creeped out (at first) and then purchase the doll anyway. Why not? It would be interesting to experiment with different looks (such as clothing and wigs) without altering my own appearance.
       
    7. For me, I think that if a doll had my features, but does not look just like me, I would buy it. Like, for example, tan skin. I happen to like tan skin too, and I'm also tan, so I would buy a doll like that. If a doll looked just like me, I would be slightly surprised, but I bet my mom would buy that one so she could tease me all the time. >.< I wouldn't even have to think about whether I would buy it or not. HAHAHA
       
    8. I have rather large round blue eyes that are similar to a BJD doll, especially when I wear make up. Many people say my eyes are my best feature, so it's not like I am imagining my eyes looking good on a doll xD; I have already found dolls that look a bit similar to my eyes and facial structure. I even considered buying them. I don't consider having a doll that looks like me strange. I remember some doll lines as a child that would make dolls that looked just like you. So it's not really a new concept to me.
       
    9. Maybe the doll would be a more cute version of me :sweat
      I would totally buy her! :D
       
    10. My first thought was 'insulted,' because then people would just take a likeness specifically based on a part of me and do whatever they wanted with it but then I argued myself down too 'vague dislike' because it isn't the buyer's fault. Just whoever would do that.

      If it was a /likeness/ though, not based on me at all then no problem. Also if someone were to ask and pay me or something before using my face, then sure whatever still not too appealing but they asked.
       
    11. I certainly wouldn't want a doll tha looked like me - but I did buy BlueFairy Pocket Fairy MiniMay because it looked like my daughter.
       
    12. Curvy, MSD size, plumpy doll. I would like that. Of course doll wouldn´t have imperfection like I do. So yes I would be interested. I just change face. Or not. I think that could actually would be quite therapeutic. I would angst to her and I would photoshoot my thoughts. *_*
       
    13. I would wonder why anyone would make said doll lol. BUT I found a doll who looks alot like my first girlfriend and I want it so bad :( I miss her, so this halloween I'm gonna take her a hujoo doll i think and leave it on her headstone :3 she would have liked one ^^
       
    14. I would wonder why anyone would want to make that. I would only buy it if it were a much cuter version of me.
       
    15. There are a couple of dolls out there that actually do look very much like a younger me. I like them and I'm planning on getting one of them maybe. Doesn't bother me at all the idea of a minime so long as it's me in my 20's and not me as I am now. I don't look horrible now but I was definitely better looking in my 20's than I am now. Age and chronic illness have taken their toll, sigh...
       
    16. I think I would feel sorry for the poor doll because she'll look like an ugly person like me! XD
      And at the same time i think it's kinda creepy, you know, when you'll wake up in the night and she'll be there, staring to you....XD
       
    17. I'd buy it immediately. And it shall sell VERY well *demented look*

    18. I'd be like ugh wow what a hideous sculpt, why does it look so familiar...

      Basically that'd be my worst nightmare.

    19. I don't think that would happen, I'm pretty average looking. However, I do think that the souldoll apple looks a bit like me when I was a kid and find myself strangely drawn to her. I'm thinking it might be more nostalgia than anything else though.
       
    20. That poor doll. That's all I'm gonna say lol
