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.

Sculpts you love (but will probably never get)

Oct 3, 2009

    1. A lot of the things from Soom. I really like the strange monthlies, but I could never buy one. They are defiantly not my style, but they are pretty dang pretty.
       
    2. I don't know about loving a sculpt I'll never buy, but I was really fond of Volks Kanata for a while. I tried telling myself that he was too short for my collection and would not fit in, but I wanted him. Then I went to the Volks store and saw him irl. I was totally put off. I thought seeing him first hand would set in my mind that he was too small for me, but it did more. He looked really different in person, in a way that erased everything I thought I liked about his sculpt online. His face was too narrow, his nose too sloped and pointy, and he was over all unsettling when compared to what I previously thought he looked like. Thanks, Volks, for putting him on display and saving me $636! ;D

      I'm going be a bit envious of anyone who buys the Iplehouse Benny doll. That is a gorgeous girl!
       
    3. That'd be: Aoi-Tuki Tukihime. *sigh* Adore her soooo much.
       
    4. For me, there are a few out of the way because of the cost factor, at least for a long while. Everytime I look at photos from a Volks meet or photo booth I ask about a certain gorgeous boy I see, and it's always a Williams! >.< I just can't justify the price of usually over $1000 for just a head, when that's nearly the price of half my doll collection. -_- I still want an Okita, Hijikata and an F-38, but I will have to save and avoid all other purchases. ^^

      I also think getting a Chrom has become more difficult for me, there usued to be tons on the mp, but now it's hard to find one still decently priced. There are many sculpts I like that I don't have a character for and until I can find a character I have that fits I have to ignore them mostly. They're not necessarily 'never' dolls, just not for a looong while.
       
    5. Unidoll Ark. I absolutely LOVE him, his face is so unique, but I doubt I'll ever actually own him. :...( It's a shame he isn't available on the website anymore, though my bank account can certainly breathe a sigh of relief for that. rofl.
       
    6. I fell in love with LUTS Spica....and she's limited so I'll probably never find her now. *sob*
       
    7. I so far have two...
      Soom's Cuprit

      and
      Iplehouse's Real Skin Luna
       
    8. I don't need my dolls to fit particular characters. But I really just can't get EVERY sculpt I adore, even though that would be nice. I don't have the money, the time or the space! I do buy plenty of dolls--way too many for the aforementioned money-time-space limitations--already. Something has to give... Sadly...

      Here's my list of dolls I like to look at and admire, but probably will never purchase (unless I win millions in the lottery and buy a big house or something like that).

      Soom Chalco (Tan)
      Soom Heliot (Romantic) -- Edited: I broke down and got him in the marketplace in Nov. '10.
      Soom Glot & Bygg, etc.
      Soom Beryl
      Soom Epidos
      Iplehouse Kamau
      Iplehouse Akando -- Instead-- got a male EID-- NC Tedros in June '10.
      Dollshe Saint
      CP/Luts Soo
      Pipos Baha
      Pipos Curo -- won a bunny--Pink CocoTribe Jerry-- at CCBJDCon in Jan '10.
       
    9. I like all the really big SOOM monthly dolls. But I will probably never get any of them. For two reasons. One, because they're huge! (I like the big ones) and would probably never fit in, poor dears. And because I can't really afford them either. My birthday's in july, and the july monthly doll is already gone, but next year, if it's a small one, I want to get my birthday monthly doll. That'd be cool. But yeah, I really love the big ones too, but no, that will just never happen I don't think.
       
    10. Luts Senior Delf Azure...
      Expensive, and since he's a limited and isn't sold anymore there's just no hope unless I find someone selling him D:
       
    11. Soom Amber
      and Soom Dia (male)
      They are just too big compared to my other dolls...and Amber is limited. I love looking at them though.
       
    12. I have a feeling a lot of my wishlist on my profile will end up ones I probably will never get, due to the fact I'm not working and am young... :/ Maybe if I get a job? o.o;;

      My main sculpt right now I absolutely adore is the new Idealian, Gluino. He's the perfect Lestat in my eyes. But... he's limited and I have no way of getting him in the current order period, and I have a feeling he'll be a pain to find later on the second-hand market. Plus he's a bit too tall for my liking, and his body's pretty built and muscular and I prefer a slimmer body aesthetically. And the inside of the head is just... odd, to me. But, I still love him to pieces.
       
    13. Tanned Elf Ducan. Hands down. And I will probably, more than likely, never, ever get him. Dx
       
    14. I want a Unoa. BAD. But I will never be able to afford one. Nor would my husband allow me to get one unless I sold my firstborn. XD
       
    15. Many mature Iplehouse dolls have siren-called me over the months... the recent Tokyo Story's Asa and Tedros were so close to dooming me to months of no phone, no electricity, no food... *sigh* But of course, they'd never fit in with my current family... and it would be beyond silly for me to buy dolls which I would never play with - these would just sit somewhere in my room slowly yellowing, me being too intimidated by their finicky limited clothing to ever move them.
       
    16. Mm, I really love the 4-armed Souldoll Shiva... but she's very expensive. And she's an SD. My MSD is more than big enough for me.
       
    17. Volks Yo-Tenshi Hinata! I really adore this tiny, but I'll never pay for a Yo-SD what I usually pay for a limited SD. Before I'll ever do that, I'll make my dream come true and get a Volks SD17 Williams, another doll I love so much but will probably never get unless I stop calculating and thinking what else I could get for so much money. It's always a fight between heart and logic...
       
    18. Elf Ducan. I fell in love with him so much and the ears worked perfectly with his face. I didn't really care whether I got the outfit or the faceup or the wig with him. I just loved his sculpt so much. But sadly he's limited and I don't know when he'll be next available. So in the mean time I'm saving up money for him but I'm hoping that I might maybe find him second hand if need be. But it's just so hard to tell if I can get him or not, or when he'll be available next. T^T
       
    19. Elfdoll's Oasisdoll Natalie...

      Although I can afford it, I know I won't be able to play with her much. :s It'll end up being a shelf doll and I really don't want to end up doing that.
