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.

Non Fantasy Dolls vs Fantasy Dolls

Nov 13, 2017

    1. I strongly prefer fantasy dolls for my own collection! So far I've got two fully assembled elves and one fully assembled goblin, plus another elf head awaiting a body. I have some planned dolls who aren't fantasy sculpts, but they'll be fantasy characters, so

    2. I prefer non-fantasy sculpts, though I might consider a vampire or elf, if the sculpt looked very human-like. Some vampire fangs are small and elf ears can be covered by a long wig. Centaurs, mermaids and anthropomorphic animal dolls don't really interest me.

    4. I love fantasy sculpts! I've only got 3 human sculpts on my wishlist (one of which is ordered and shipping soon). All the others are fantasy in some way or another, from elf ears to vampire or werewolf fangs to being anthropomorphic in some way! I've always loved fantasy characters and settings and so it doesn't surprise me that my collection will be mostly fantasy sculpts

    5. I like human sculpts with fantasy elements. Doll Chateau is a really good blend of this, human features that are a little too delicate or elongated and lend well to fairy style builds. The Doll Zone Tarot II series is something I’m salivating over, as well — I want to make a psychopomp.

      I like little sprite BJDs as well, and the Elizabeth spider BJD. I put in an order with doll chateau and they’re sending me a free Clemens for a promotion so I guess I will own more fantasy dolls than human ones, soon.

      So logically I think “human!” but by the facts I guess I’m a fantasy collector.

    7. I prefer to own human/non-fantasy dolls myself, but I love seeing fantasy dolls other people own.

    8. Hmmm that's a tough choice :huh?: for right now I guess sculpt wise I prefer "human" but their characters come from a fantasy world so the real answer is both? :sweat I dunno sounds about right haha

    9. Hello !
      I think it depend on what character you want to shell in a doll.
      For my first doll, I didn't know what to choose between fantasy or human doll so when I found an event of an elf doll with a human head as a gift I was super happy !
      Right now fantasy or human I don't care as long as I fall for them ! :XD:

    10. I like both human and fantasy dolls. I like to see different concepts of fantasy parts other than centaurs, deers, mermaids/seahorse, and vampires though. They're way too mainstream IMO

    11. I love fantasy dolls conceptually, but I can never seem to bond with them. I have sold my centaur dragon, and vampire. I have all humans and one tiny elf.

    14. I used to like both but not anymore , I strongly prefer non fantasy ones cause they are far more versatile some fantasy colors or elf ears I still like but fantasy parts and stuff are not for me anymore it limits the fashions my dolls wear and are pretty in so I prefer human dolls cause I have much more freedom in how I can dress them and still feel it fits them nicely

    15. All my dolls are regular human sculpts bar one – Dollzone's jellyfish (once AusPost decide to finally get him across the country...).
      I tend to prefer the versatility of human sculpts, but I enjoy seeing what people do with their fantasy dolls

    16. I have a fairly good-sized collection, and I’d have to say my crew is a delightful mix of both (and I love it that way!) I created my dolliverse to be something akin to a Tim Burton’s Alice world, where all sizes and forms of creatures could coexist and commingle. This freed me up to collect whatever caught my eye as long as I could come up with a character for them, because diversity was key from the very beginning. I have human sculpts and fantasy ones, anthros and planthros too! And I love fantasy colored resin.:)

    17. Probably a third of my collection is fantasy coloured resin. Maybe a quarter, I haven’t done the actual math. A majority of my dolls are getting wings, while those that aren’t are likely getting horns and tails. For actual fantasy sculpts, I have one on the way (soom breccia), one with a scorpion tail, two with skull heads, one with a birdcage in her chest, one with a mechanical mermaid tail, and I have spare feline looking feet that are gonna go on someone eventually, so solidly a fantasy doll collector here!

    18. I have exactly 1 regular human doll (my first), and he's surrounded by a plethora of fantasy dolls in all shapes and sizes lol. These range from a (incoming) tiny elf to a SD sized weasel anthro, and I love them all! The more fantasy the better!

    19. I think fantasy dolls look cool, but I wouldn't want to own one. I definitely prefer human or at least human-like such as an elf.

    20. I like both fantasy and human dolls. I prefer fantasy dolls a bit more, but I have more human dolls at the moment.
