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.

Reptiles?

Mar 24, 2008

    1. So we have cats, dogs, mice, bunnies, even tigers...

      So when will there be a reptile ball-joint doll???

      (I'd love to own a baby turtle :D)

      If there already are, could someone tell me where to find them??
       
    2. I want an alligator BJD ;_;
       
    3. The closest I've seen is the Volks SDC Kurt, which is a frog boy. When I found out he was a frog boy I had to get him, as I adore frogs.

    4. Awww he's cute!! Thanks for the comment! :D
       
    5. ...BALL JOINTED PYTHON?

      *is shot*
       
    6. =) Dragon. They've got to know that would be marketable.
       
    7. =] I second turtle!!!
      a friendly little gila monster would be fun too XP
       
    8. I was thinking just the other day how a little gecko or some sort of lizard would be a cool anthro bjd in the Baha size range. But with the amount of stuff I am taking on at the moment I don't know when I will get the chance to sit down and work on sculpting something like that.. I really want to though!!
       
    9. I'm working on drawing up plans for a BJD tarantula. It wouldn't be on topic for this forum though, because it's kind of hard to make a spider "anthro." However, I would love to make one with ball joints and still have it as anatomically correct as possible. Even the little spinnerets would have joints. It is a massive project, and I've barely got sketches mapped out that show how the stringing would work. Imagine trying to joint 8 legs, 2 pedipalps, fangs, and the body. Of course all the parts would have to have multiple joints.

      I definitely think reptiles are more within the possible scope of actual creation. Imagine a working/snapping alligator head on a pipos style body. A turtle like in Over the Hedge... Or maybe the Sobe dancing lizards from the Superbowl 2008 commercial.

      An in scale dragon for 1/3 dolls would be so massive... Imagine having to create let alone string and wire the wings on the beast. It would be more of a working model or giant prop for a doll than an anthro doll.

      A scaled or feathered human body would be very cool though! I love how Soom has pushed the limits between human and fantasy with their new finny merman. MMMMmmmm...
       
    10. dragons would be cool and something i would probably feel a strong need to get! although not a reptile i would love a bat bjd.
       
    11. I'M FOR THE GILA MONSTERS TOO!
      :D
       
    12. I would SO get a Gecko. And then I would make him re-enact my favorite Geico commercials.

      *fails*

      But seriously, the whole cute kitty/bunny thing never really caught on to me. I would LOVE some scaly critters thrown in there. :'D
       
    13. Dude!!! I am so gonna make a gila monster 8D
       
    14. reptiles suck. they eat my rodents ;P lol a turtle bjd would be so charming, id love to see someone do that! maybe it could be marketed/sold as a doll accessory :D
       

    15. lmao! That's hilarious!!
       
    16. go gecko! go! :D :D
      ....man.
      i WANT.

      and, he'd be so frickin CUTE! :D

      I don't think these are allowed on DoA accept as accessories, but Ozarucozaru did make a strung resin BJD turtle. You can see the orange Halloween ones here:

      Her dolls are almost never in stock though.
       
    18. That turtle is so cute! :D

      I gave up on waiting to buy an alligator BJD - I'm making my own! :D For reals.
      I drew some sketches, did some research, and played around with some sculpy to see if I was any good. I did a really rough head, 20 minutes, but the shape and anatomy of it, I'm pretty happy with :3 I'll spend hours and hours on the real thing, of course.
      He'll have a moving jaw, and a big head (~3" long), and a long tail, but will have a short body (doll total ~14cm, 5-6")
      Of course I'll post pics here when I'm done!
       
    19. OMG, I'm like so new, excuse me, but that turtle is SO awesome!
       
    20. I would like to see an alligator one. there is that cute plastic frog doll, a frog will probably be the first made I think.
