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. I think that Musedoll's Muses are really beautiful, and they were some of the first BJDs I saw (In Haute Doll Magazine) but when I look really close at their faces I don't know... I even saw some for sale recently but couldn't bring myself to buy them. I feel that if I am going to buy a doll this much money it has to be a breathtaking work of art, so I do have a few Soom MDs.
       
    2. Yes...
      For me, it's Little Monica Yuria.
      She's so beautiful!
      But I don't think I'll ever buy her...
       
    3. Tinies - they're cute but are not for me.

      As for the Mecha Angels being 80cm, now that is something I am going to have to look into and work out how much one is gonna cost me... :D

      http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php?it_id=1255516342 - Meisa - currently sold out and I hope they do another run. She is definitely the doll for me once I have a spare $800...

    4. The classic beauties don't speak loud enough to me, I love the expressions of DT, they tend to pull the feelings out of me!

    5. Having only recently discovered bjds, I've spent the last few months looking looking looking at these remarkable dolls. Many that I think are unbelievably beautiful. The ones I want, though, speak to me in some very personal way and are not necessarily beauties. They mirror something in me or seem to embody some quality I wish I had.
       
    6. Any female doll.
      Seriously most of them are over the top beautiful and in some pictures take my breath away, but I doubt I will ever own one. It's just not my style to have a female doll...

      With males though, as long as they make my heart skip a beat in any picture at all, they would be collection worthy! =O
      Boys boys boys! they are beautiful and fun :3 Tall or short, cute or serious, realistic or anime/fantasy like- luv them all XD;
       
    7. I guess for me it's the littlefees. They're sculpted so gorgeously but they're sooo cutesy. D:
       
    8. I tend to have a love for close-eyed, sleepy- or dreaming-eyed, or other molds with strange eyes, like a DS Orijean. But if I fall for a certain mold, regardless of the eyes, I fall for it. I'm not saying that having reasons for not wanting certain molds aren't legitimate or logical, not at all. I don't see the need for me, personally, to not put a doll on my wishlist because it doesn't fit with what I want out of my doll collection or family. Of course, I don't have a set idea of what I want from my doll collection or family, so that's probably why I don't restrict myself.
       
    9. I am on the rocks about wanting a Delf Chiwoo. It's such a wonderful sculpt, but... expensive, and I have no idea what I'd do with him. Although I think he's a precious sculpt, I don't think he fits my personal collection's aesthetic. Those eyes, those eyes, they're huge!

      The same does with Musedoll Re-Che. So wonderful in photos, I'd love to work with one, but I don't think I could handle that pointy-looking nose. The nose, the nose! I am so anal about my dolls' noses.
       
    10. Same here, I love these molds too...yet the one dreaming doll I bought I ended up opening the eyes on in the end, heh. But I so love their look in photos and such.
       
    11. Most of the more mature models fit into this category for me. I find some of them (like DoD's DoI collection, for instance) to be stunningly gorgeous, and they look fantastic in photos, but for some reason I always fall for younger faces. The round cheeks, bigger eyes, pouty lips... so cute~~
       
    12. For me it's Supiadoll Rosy.....gosh she's pretty, but I adore dolls with younger looking faces...plus, she's so skinny! I love the chunky dollies :D
       
    13. One of my first dolls that I bought as an adult was very beautiful, but I just couldn't bond with her, because all I could see was that beautiful face. I sold her pretty quickly, and now I go for the quirky and young look. They seem to be the easiest to find personalities for.
       
    14. For me it's the Iplehouse EID dolls. They are all stunningly beautiful and very realistic, but I don't think I'll ever get one. I wouldn't know what to do with them really :sweat
      Same goes for most Soom Monthly dolls, though I admire their looks, I wouldn't know what to do with them. I admire them but they don't inspire me (with a few exceptions, like last months Afi whom I'm currently waiting for :) )
       
    15. There are a lot of dolls I find amazing looking, but I would never buy because they just don't fit the type of character I want...
      Another annoying thing is that I can't bring myself to buy a sleepy eyed doll, as I feel like I wouldn't be able to photograph them looking anything but sleepy.
      I'm not sure. I probably would, but there's just something about them that isn't for me, which is a pity 'cause there are so many gorgeous ones. D:
       
    16. uhm... I actually LOVE Supia roda...she's the first bjd i've ever seen, and my first love :D
      but she's just too...special...and too real-looking but...yeah :)
       
    17. I get this so much! I keep seeing dolls that I'd love to own, but since all my future dolls are going to be based on my OCs they just wouldn't work out – it’s mostly size (too tall or not tall enough), or they just don't look like a character from my group!
      If I had the money, I’d buy all the dolls I love, whether they fit my plans of not. But sadly, until I win the lottery, that's not gonna happen. Still, they're purty to look at on screen ^^
       
    18. Definitely the Mecha Angels from Soom, awesome dolls, but a bit too tall for my liking, same goes with Dollmore 'Lusion' girls, very very beautiful, but again, too big, I guess 70cm is my limit.
      Then there's Soom's MD, I just love the sets they come in but its not something I want to splurge my money on in one go, so I rather admire them from afar.
       
    19. I love Soom's monthly dolls, but I know I'll never get a single of them. Yrie is just amazingly cute, but there's no way I'll get her either. :sweat
       

    20. I thought this exact same thing...and now we have one. ^_^; I'm in love with the way their bodies work.

      There have been several sculpts that I've loved, but will probably never own because I don't have a character for them. But there are others, like the SOOM limiteds, that I would never own simply because I would be constantly worried about damaging them somehow.
