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.

Mature-looking Mini discussion

Apr 20, 2006

    1. I agree. I do love the leg options! Reminds me of the Infinity Doll SID>
       
    2. I love mature MSDs. If I had the money right now, I'd totally jump on getting one of the new DM girls! Curvy is where it's AT.

      There are a lot (relatively) of mature MSD girls, but where are all the boys? The only ones that have both mature faces and bodies that I've seen so far are minifees, of which I already own quite a few... and of course the new Chicline. But other than that, it's hard finding MSD sized boys that look proportionately adult next to my minifee boys.
       
    3. I really like mature MSDs as well- most of my characters are teenage-early 20s and I like them to look the part. :) I'm planning on buying one of the new DM Judith girls ^_^ it was instant love- she reminds me of a character from one of my all time favourite book series.

      I love SDs as well (I've got both in my collection) so I end up separating my MSDs into early teens (14-16) and my SDs into late teens/20s (16-21). It works well for me even if the sizes are a little strange sometimes.
       
    4. Bluefairy as well as Peakswood offer larger bust. Dream of doll new body for 40cm is mature looking as well.
      Zinna White here I come.
       
    5. See, as I am thinking about this, I had a bit of an epiphany. Some people say that for their size (40-45cm about) That they should be mature. YET, the world is populated by the ever so popular 30.5cm very curvaceous and disproportionate doll known as Barbie is beyond popular. Yes some people do not like equating Barbie with the BJDs but many people do see the similarities with the size. Their are now even more dolls on the market that are even closer in size to general MSD measurements and they are mature in body. So I just don't see why people feel that MSDs have to be mature. Yes I have seen people who are vehemently opposed to mature MSDs. Not because they don't fit with their other dolls but due to what I guess you could call moral objections.
       
    6. Most people are looking to expand and get away from the "Barbie" size most of us grew up with. I wanna feel like I own a actual doll not a upgraded Barbie.
       
    7. So True. So very true. :)
       
    8. immature or mature. Everyone has their preferred cake. I just hope the option of expanding a doll type from it's set standards continues. And more inviting mature MSD size dolls expands. Or busting out of VOLKS molds so to speak.
       
    9. My first MSD was Dollmore kid Pado. I discovered that not only did I think of her more like a teenager, but also I wasn't able to sew the types of outfits that I like for her because of her severe lack of curves. So I went to the other end of the spectrum and got an L-bust ChicLine gal >:D

      But honestly if Dollmore does release Judith body by itself, I may give my Pado an upgrade. The nice thing about Dollmore is that the quality is very good for the price. They're not as highly engineered as MiniFee but they are solid and affordable.

      I'm curious to see what clothes will fit the 'curvy' MSD type.
       
    10. LOL! My BFF, her first MSD is a DM Kid Pado. (Her character is Mimi's BFF!)

      I have tried making clothes for her girl and you are right, the lack of curves have limited styles.
       
    11. It depends. Some clothing is easier to sew without curves. Historical especially Elizabethan can suit lack of curves but other styles really look better on a less childlike body. I like the overall look of the the latest Dollmore girl. I'm actually tossing up whether to spend my money on her, the current twin pack of dolls at Aria or the new Curvy Aria tiny. I've got one of the Sweet 7 yr MSDs due to arrive tomorrow and I'm still waiting for Aria to post comparison pictures between the Sweet and Tiny dolls. I'm a little wary of the Tiny dolls because I'm worried they could be Aria's answer to the Chicline and I find the Chicline heads WAYYYYY too small for my tastes. I prefer pumpkin heads. Even barbie's head looks too small these days. I've started buying Bratz and Moxie girls for my kids.

      I'm fairly certain that if the Judith girls prove popular that Dollmore will release a wide range of clothing for them. A lot of their outfits are fairly stretchy anyway.
       
    12. Saddly the Limhwa ForYou is discontinued. She has such a dainty mature body, and the detail on her body is delightful. Down to the butt dimples.

      I make more mature clothing to fit my girls. Pity there is few premade clothing set for mature MSD bodies. That actually look mature as well.

      As far as historical clothing goes, French Rococo style would look lovely on a mature MSDs. With the pinch waist corsets and pushed up busts.
       
    13. I am into historical clothing. Medieval, Renaissance, Regency, Late Victorian. French Rococo is a lovely style but some times the over the top details does get to me.

      Gracefairy Patterns does have some lovely MSD styles and can be adjusted accordingly to your desire. (Including a corset top)
       
    14. I agree about the detail, but it makes it all the more worth it and that much more special. Actually the Judith dolls make for some cute Rococo Marie Antoinette girls.

      I would love a mature, large bust MSD. To have optional bust piece to make the breasts look flat on one side like when a large busted girl lays down on her tummy. :D
       
    15. I have a doll that her head accidently popped off at a meet and her name has been changed to Marie Antoinette!

      I would love to see what kind of clothes that DM comes out with for the new girl. So far I keep looking and from what I see, the iplehouse clothes would fit best. I do love IH curves as well. :P
       
    16. I make fetish style clothes for my dolls. I love elegant style fetish :)

      Also Bobobie/ ResinSoul has a option for larger bust body. And new double jointed MSD looks a little mature.
       
    17. [​IMG]
      I Don't think he looks child like but then again, he may to everyone else (he's a bobobie, wu) I heard that bobobie/resinsoul Ans look adult like
       
    18. Hi, all,

      I'm looking for a smaller, dainty MSD doll, 40cm with a mature body. I've found Bobobie's Lan, and she's a definite possibility, but are there any other dolls similar to her? Most of the MSDs I find are at least 42 cm, and I really want the smaller, slimmer size.
       
    19. Have you looked at Planetdoll? They do two dolls in a smaller more dainty msd size. There's also Qpito's HeeAh and if you want slightly smaller than msd, there is Dollmore's Narsha at 35cm and my Narae is very petite compared to some other msds.
       
    20. I have been looking at bjd for a while, and I love the more mature dolls. However, I know it'd be easier for me to have an msd sized doll, and its so hard to find one that isn't cutesy or more child-like than adult like. Do any of you guys know of more mature msd dolls, both male and female? Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
