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.

Mobility vs. Aesthetics

May 30, 2017

    1. Since I own mostly dolls with terrible mobility (can't even sit properly), I would say aesthetics, but I am not sure. Since not many dolls went through my hands I do not have the necessary knowleadge of what to look for to get the mobility. Either way, I do not mind visible joints at all.
      I do not have any favourites.

    2. Mobility for sure! I like to keep my dolls clothed anyway, so it doesn't matter to me if their joints (especially in the torso) look a bit wonky.
       
    3. It’s not really a hard question since I have multiple dolls, so...some of each? I really like the look of single piece torso dolls but I appreciate the mobility of more joints. I tend to like my dolls to be able to touch their faces but I don’t mind single joint knees with a prettier leg line. Sometimes the slots and peanut joints look mis-shapen to me but when covered, I love the more natural poses. Just a good excuse to have several types of dolls, I think!
       
    4. I’d have to say purely 50/50. Possibility is so important to me because I love to get creative with posing... but it’s all a waste if they look awkward when doing it :)
