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.

Muscular female dolls- who wants one?

Jul 27, 2015

    1. @chalyss , thanks for pointing the price out! Weirdly, I hadn't noticed it. It is indeed slightly cheaper than a Basic Fairyland Minifee. :aeyepop:
      It is a pity, if only they put the work in and offered this body with better joints (+ better looking hands/wrists + Measurements table), they would be onto a winner.

      EDIT: I've just found Rosslyn's project journal 'Warrior maiden- Journey of a Nobility 60cm Muscle Body'. I am rather dismayed by the work involved in making this Muscular body work. :ablink: And a lot of knowledge is required. :doh. It looks like the whole body needs to be rethought with posability in mind, not only the joints.

    2. Yes! I have heard and read horror stories! Nobility Doll, it seems, didn't apply their knowledge to the design. People spent small fortunes getting their dolls corrected and then sold them for a pittance. It's so sad because the design/concept is lovely indeed! I love the muscles! But I am very scared to buy one that hasn't already been corrected. I'm not even close to as good at modding as Rosslyn is, so that is a very daunting task to me! I prefer a body mostly ready to go, needing only minor mods if any at all.
       
    3. The Nobility body doesn't look re-engineered to me either. :( Maybe I'll wait for the Miro body. It's good to know the companies are listening, though.
       
    4. Yeah, I don't remember which announcement it was stated in but I thought they were going to fix those godawful joints before rerelease @-@ I would love this body for a head of mine that's floating right now but, personally, it's up to Nobility to convince us they fixed the thing before they see a cent.

    5. #3 - I love the look of a powerful and muscular woman! If I found a sculpt that spoke to me, then yes I would most certainly buy her, I just haven't seen many options for muscular female dolls.
       
    6. 4- I don't personally like muscular bodies on a girl, however people should be able to have what they want, so the option should be available.
       
    7. I'd give an arm and a leg for a muscular girl. I'd like her to have a stronger face too though, so I'd probably have to hybrid her with a boy head. :sweat
       
    8. Hm, I would definitely consider it! I mostly go for boys but maybe a muscular girl would change my mind? She'd have to be at least SD sized though and with a mature head (maybe something like Soom Dia). It would be super weird for me if it was like a mature and muscular body with a little girl head on it.
       
    9. Thing is, the original muck-up appeared as if it would work, in the company pics... I don't trust Nobility. They sent me a mess, refused to partly refund a very un-functioning doll, and then claimed that it was okay for it to be mucked up because it was a custom job. Just nope.
       
    10. I dont know if I'd buy one myself - not so much due to personal reference but personal funds/space, but I'd love to see one, and to see what people would do with the sculpt of one.
       
    11. I think it would be great if companies expanded on different body types for their dolls. A more muscular girl would be great and probably challenged some sculptors. I plan on making a girl who would be more muscular than the average girl, but I'm going to try to use an OT doll line like Obitsu.
       
    12. 1 - YES! Please! Gimme a muscular lady. In the last few months I've taken quite a liking to physicaly strong female characters. I even have a planned female bjd character that would be like that but since there is no fitting body, I have to stick to her child form. :atremblin
       
    13. I absolutely want one. I eventually wish to get a male/female SD pair, but the female character really needs some sort of muscle. I understand if companies don't want to make a super buff body, but even some slight definition in the arms and chest would be nice. Optional parts maybe? That way the company would only have to mod and cast a few parts, yet it can completely change the look of a body. (Has anybody suggested that yet?) Some heads with a more chiseled look would be great too. There are so many "feminine" boys out there, let's have some more "masculine" girls.
       
    14. I would love swappable legs- like longer ones and shorter ones, a range of 60cm-68cm (and bust options, of course). That'd be nice. Keep giving your opinions! This thread IS getting notice. YAY!!
       
    15. I would like to get 1-2 she-warriors. And i am keen on Nobility bodies
       
    16. Probably a 3 for me based on that scale, though it depends on level of musculature; I'm definitely a fan of toned and athletic (the original 57cm Limhwa body comes close enough for me -- those legs!) but anything more is unattractive imo, irregardless of gender.
       
    17. Please, seriously we need one. Desperately. We've got so many male options-- skinny, soft, toned, beefcake, it's insane. But when you look at female bodies, it's always hourglass and barely any definition at all. We need not just toned girls, but girls with defined muscles and thick, strong bodies. Half my female characters are soldiers or fighters and delicate bodies just don't cut it. They also always have slender hands and it's just so infuriating. Don't get me wrong, I love slender pretty girls. But I'd love to have a girl with a feminine version of something like Spiritdoll's Herculean body or Dollshe David Kuncci's body.
      Girls built like tanks. We just need more variety when it comes to female dolls.
      Not to mention we also need more gender ambiguous bodies-- but that's a different conversation.
       
    18. I have a character named Beshemoth from my days on City of Heroes- basically a She-Hulk rip off, I'll be honest- she was supposed to be... and I wanna shell her something fierce but there are no bodies to work for her. A tank, yes! And my girl Power Curve... Six and half feet of sexy TANK. Yes yes yes, I need big beautiful women! Uh, for my dolls.
       
    19. 3. Not right now, but maybe some day.
      Lately I have been fantasizing about a girl which is on various universes (like she reincarnates on the same person of different universes each day) and one day she is a jedi, next a bounty hunter, then a pirate, maybe an assassin... so she should have a muscular body if I ever find the perfect head sculpt for her.
      Sadly I feel this kind of body will only be available in SD size so I am not likely to get one.
       
    20. I personally don't have any plans for this kind of body but I'd love to see what others would do with it.
