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. A lot of the slim MSD dolls tend to have a more mature look.

      You might want to start by looking at Souldoll Soulkids, Luts Model Delfs, Withdoll, and Fairyland Minifees. These companies tend to have the mature slim MSD body and a range of heads to choose from, from childlike to very mature and womanly.

      I'm sure others can add to the list as well.

      I know that Sadol also has a beautiful and mature MSD body, but I am not sure if the heads are what you'd prefer.
       
    2. You should check out Racoon Doll and Iplehouse, they have realistic and mature msd sculpts.

    3. @Musume has some really wonderful lists for people who want less childish minis. HERE is their list of Mature Minis who have smaller heads than normal msds but are not super realistic and HERE is their list of Realistic Minis.

      I myself have some Luts Model Delfs and some Withdolls and I absolutely adore them <3 <3 <3

    4. I've been collecting 1/4 size BJDs for a few year now and my
      intent is to have them be Late teen through young adult.
      Women are easy! :) One of my favorites is Angel of Dream "Lan"
      but as has been noted, some of the Iplehouse JIDs are satisfactory.

      There are several "BJD"s that are best classified as Fashion Dolls
      rather than classic BJDs in that they have much smaller heads than
      classic ABJDs. My boys take 7/8 or 6/7 wigs. The fashion dolls such
      as Iplehouse FIDs (Fashion Iplehouse Dolls) take 5/6. They are
      arguably more realistic than the typical BJD so it's a matter of taste.
      If you want maturity and the smaller head doesn't bother you then
      you might want to look at the resin fashBut such as Jamieshow.men.

      But I digress. Mature 1/4 size men. There are a few options. Some
      of the Iplehouse JID boys make reasonable men, especially if you
      have a custom face up with a bit of facial hair. Makes an unelievable
      difference and that comment holds for all of these dolls. Look at
      Luts Model Doll. Wonderful masculine bodies and though the sculpts
      seem a bit boyish they work. Souldoll offers a couple of choices.
      A few of the Soulkid sculpts have some maturity but do look beyond
      the atrociously feminine attire that Souldoll poses them in. I have
      a Soulkid boy Jonny that makes a great young man. Souldoll also
      makes the Vito boy line. Very mature but at 50cm he'll sort of tower
      over a minifee girl. Finally I'll mention Angel of Dream again. Their
      bodies are nice and affordable. Some of their sculpts are worth
      considering (Wang Zi?)

    5. These ideas really help, all my dolls are msd size. Not comfortable with larger size.

    6. I haven't seen truer words! Randor and Shaun would look so good if they weren't dressed in drag
