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.
       
    3. Just arrived yesterday... there are so many fun fantasy dolls these days!

    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.
       
    6. I love them all! Human, fantasy - it's all about the look!
       
    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.
       
    12. I like both! I have humans, elves, & anthros in my storyline :)
