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.

Not Wanting The Beautiful's

Sep 20, 2008

    1. For me, it's the SOOM monthly dolls that I'll never have. I mean, they're beautiful sculpts, but I could never own one. For me personally, they look like a handful. Not to mention I can't see myself owning one because of the pricetag. ^^;
       
    2. Yeah, I feel the same about the Soom sculpts and some of the Dream of Doll sculpts. I love Camine and Homme Ducan, but for some reason, they're just too skinny for me. xD
       
    3. Soom Monthly dolls. They are all so BEAUTIFUL. I love looking at them on the Soom website and the ones owned by folks on here, but I would never buy one. I think I would find it kinda strange to have a half human half animal doll living in my house :)
       
    4. As an owner of now two Soom MAs, I must agree with everyone who complains about them being to big: they ARE too big and somewhat unwieldy. But I am stuck with my two godzillas because of the characters they perfectly embody. As a result, I can only drool over all the other dolls I absolutely love and will never have, such as a number of sculpts in the 40-60 cm range. Same goes for realistic vs stylized. I absolutely adore the highly stylized anime sculpts, but will never have one now, since I've gone with the realistic look for my dolls.

      Thankfully, there are meetups where I can admire other people's dolls!
       
    5. Yes!
      Dollmore's Black Pabianne Hwi Ki - LE.
      I love this doll so much... I love everything about her.

      but, I'd never own her: she's too big, and I am a "MSD person". And also, I'd never change a thing about her (but her clothes), and for me, part of the fun when having a BJD is wanting to change it.

      So I'm happy with just admiring pictures of her.
       
    6. Bobobie's Apollo. I see him and can't but go *.* But, he's too SD for me. There's just something about the size of SDs that too big for me.
       
    7. Well, I would say the Soom Monthies because of their size. But I have my Heliot on an SD body so he fits in perfectly.( A mini-Heliot):)
      I have however just ordered a DM Lusion...so the size thing has just gone out the window...
      Luckily I don't have a particular 'family' of dolls so they don't all have to match up in my eyes.
       
    8. Sure! There is a lot of dolls that I think are gorgeous, but that I would never want for myself. This goes especially for SD-sized dollies though. That size is just not for me, although of all dolls I find the SD-sized to be most beautiful <3
       
    9. all BJDs are made to be beautiful. I mean, there isn't one who is "ugly", not even slightly. So it is impossible to answer your question to me.
       
    10. There is a lots of those. LUTS dolls do that to me a lot. They are so beautiful, but there is something about them that makes me not consider getting one, except fot maybe the breakaway el you mentioned. The main problem with me is, that I have certain look in my head for my character and even though I fell in love with numerous molds up untill now, I am not gonna get them, if the do not fit the image I have in my mind.
      And also Soom MDs. I love them...I might end up getting one in the end...but that would be long time from now, because they just wouldn´t fit with my dolls.
       
    11. 60cm dolls. I keep telling myself they're too big and I wouldn't know what to do with one ... yes. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :(
       
    12. I've seen a lot of beautiful female dolls with a lolita-ish look, but I'd never buy one. They're just too perfect and "doll-like", if you know what I mean? I don't think I'd be able to bond with them properly.
      And at the end of the day it's more about whether the doll speaks to me than if it's beautiful or not. I could never buy a doll solely based on looks. There has to be something else... Some sort of connection.

      I also like male dolls better and I have absolutely no intention of buying a girl at the moment. But if I ever end up falling for one she'd most likely have a more "rough" look.
       
    13. The tiny cutesy ones.... :sweat Don't get me wrong, I do think they're cute... they just generally aren't my type of cute.
       
    14. Yes, this has happened to me many times. :) There are a lot of very, very beautiful dolls out there, but some of them are just not for me. I am particularly fond of the Bambicrony tinies in peppermint, but even though I owned one for a while, she just didn't fit with my collection and ended up getting ignored, so I sold her.
       
    15. Iplehouse EID males do that for me. I never see one, but it makes me sigh. My mantra-"I will not spend a monthly house note on a doll the will require me to wear wrist braces to pick up." :...(:...(:...(

      But, the 5 year old inside still says I want-even though somedays my MSD boy is as much as my wrists can handle.:(
       
    16. Oh, I have definitely felt this way! The SOOM monthly dolls, so many Volks, Fairyland (especially their LittleFee)... I think I feel like 70% of the time when I see a new doll. "Wow, he/she/it is gorgeous! ...I don't need one." I can appreciate it without wanting to own it. n_n
       
    17. Custom House Petite Ai... I was looking at them last night almost shedding tears over how utterly adorable they are... but I don't really know what I would *do* with one, I don't really think they would fit in with the look of my Honey Delf or Leeke D. With dolls other than tinies its generally the size the puts me off, just because I have nowhere to put them *sigh*
       
    18. 2008 Soom monthly dolls have this touch, specially Topaz, but I didn't even try to buy it. First, now it's nearly impossible, at least for me, and second I really really love them, but they're just not my type. I suppose I was made for more traditional dolls, not fantasy, but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

      Also I love Akanado and those big men, but I'd rather see and not touch them, I find more practical smaller dolls.
       
    19. Certainly! I can appreciate all types of beauty, but when it comes to MY dolls I go for my own unique tastes. :) Although my friends Delf has TOTALLY made me want a delf, which I plan on getting as my next doll. :)
       
    20. Yeah this happens to me a lot XD Especially with dolls like Iplehouse Jessica -she's soooo gorgeous, but she doesn't really fit my ideas- and the Mecha Angels -too gangly- and others... like DollMore Models. I love them all but they just don't suit me so much :(
