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.

Kuklakit Dolls

Jun 10, 2021

    1. So, these are probably my favorite dolls available now. Sorry if this thread is not allowed!

      Kuklakit is a Russian artist who makes 35 cm mature tinies that cost between $80 USD at the lowest and $190 USD at the highest. There's 9 different dolls available now, 2 men and 7 women. There's even a plus-sized female option! The dolls are designed with 3D sculpting software and 3D printed into prototypes before being home cast in resin. So far, there is only white or pink resin available, but on Kuklakit's Instagram, brown resin is being experimented with! 44 cm prototypes are also being developed, but for now only tinies are available.

      Below are links to all of the dolls:
      - Artur
      - Moana
      - Aisha
      - Adel
      - Hilda
      - Eseniy
      - Bishop
      - Varvara
      - Anabel

      Each doll has a different facial sculpt AND body sculpt. Every purchase comes with one solid-eyed head and one open-eyed head, extra hands, and extra feet. There have been some minor complaints about the quality of the dolls, but for the price, and when you consider they are home-cast by a single artist, the quality is incredible.

      It is good to note the dolls look wildly different without face-ups. Here is Aisha, a doll I did not like the face of before I saw her made up:

      and this is her with a face-up:

      Not only does each dolls' body have a different shape, each one has a different level of sculpted detail and articulation. In my opinion, Moana, the newest doll, has the best articulated body of all of them:

      Anyway! I hope some of you enjoy these dolls as much as I do, they are stunningly beautiful, sturdy, and affordable. They're perfect for hobby beginners. I'd love to see more owner photos of them!!

    2. Hilda certainly looks like the perfect granny sculpt. Are the Aishas your's?

    4. It would be great if you could write a review once you've received yours. They look promising, but the pictures on Etsy are not really that great.

    5. This thread is locked as the moderators discuss topicality.

    6. --Mod note--

      Apologies for the delay~

      The mod team has unfortunately decided that Kuklakit dolls are off topic for DoA.

      This is for a number of reasons, some of the dolls are lacking in at least one area (some more than one);
      -Most of them are sold with painted eyes, and painted eyes do not fit our topicality criteria.
      -The sculpting, finishing, and casting quality is not quite up to a professional level.
      -Some of the dolls do not have a fully rendered body suitable to display nude.

      If this dollmaker makes other dolls in the future that do fit all of DoA's criteria, we will happily review them further~

      If anyone has any questions regarding the decision, please feel free to post a thread in Ask the Moderators.
