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. Mine are 5th Motif Venitu and JID Ryan.

      Ryan was discontinued last year, and I had the opportunity to buy one from somebody local but I kinda freaked out and ended up backing out of the layaway.

      Venitu, it's the price. I don't think I could bring myself to spend $700+ on a hunk of resin, no matter how beautifully sculpted. That, and my comfort price range is sky $350 or less. But maybe things will change once I get out of retail...
       
    2. Venitu 5Motiff. i cant afford him.
       
    3. St Mina. Her face is so striking.
       
    4. Iplehouse Luo, Ringdoll Kay, Angel Fantasy Vent. Vent and Kay I could get for like $120 a pop just as heads. They're not impossible price-wise but at this point I just really don't need them. I just kind of want them. :P Luo that's a whole other thing. Even his head is just plain out of price range for me and buying him on his own body? That's an impossible dream, that's for sure. I still covet him madly when I see one, but I just can't rationalize him. He's too much money for me.
       
    5. The entire Iplehouse SID line even I love all the sculpts. I think their body/clothing size would drive me crazy.
       
    6. For me, it's mostly due to availability and not price. I like a lot of older, harder-to-find dolls. My top five are:

      1. Dollstown Susie (the 2005 release)
      2. DollnDoll Shade
      3. Dollmore Ray
      4. CustomHouse Selene
      5. Happydoll Margo

      Price-wise, it's a mostly Iplehouse, Doll Chateau, and Volks dolls. Love 'em but can't see myself shelling out the $$$.
       
    7. Granted, I'm a newbie who only just ordered her first dolls ever. I'm sure I'm not the best at tracking down dolls. I haven't even made enough posts to gain access to DoA's marketplace.

      That said, I don't feel good about my chances for ever finding Doll Chateau's Debbie and Caroline on their conjoined twin body, since they were discontinued before I got into the hobby. They're so gorgeous and unusual, though.
       
    8. Penny, I'm there with you! I wanted these girls as well but flaked on the last day of their sale. I've never seen them come up secondhand, but we can hope!
       
    9. Volks claud the beast in shadow skin. There's one on the marketplace that i keep staring at but I can't afford the $1250 price tag...plus I should try to finish up my other dolls first.

      also the mechanism angel corvi. I had him once and could never find clothes for him or else I'd own him still. Souldoll chantel. Again I had her and she was gorgeous! But my husband soured her for me and i made a really horrible trade :/.
       
    10. I LOVE the Freakstyle Puck. Like, adore him. But I will never in all my lie be able to convince my husband to let me have him.
       
    11. I've been trying to find characters for these sculpts coz I love them so much but there's always something else that suits my characters more.

      Fifth Motifi Venitu
      DollShe David
      Be with you Wood
      Soom York
      Soom Phonolus
      Soom Shoshon
      IOS Anarmonia
      Spiritdoll Thuja
       
    12. I found another sculpt that I would probably never get, Jade from IOS
       
    13. Doll Chateau Hugh and their new SD girl :D

      Any just about any Ramcube sculpt. They're beautiful, rare, and expensive!!
       
    14. Dollzone Moment or Anson (or both!) From the moment I saw them I was in love. I was devastated to learn they weren't made anymore (this was back when I first got into the hobby, so I had no idea dolls could be limited). One day I hope I'll get lucky.
       
    15. Same with me. When I got in the hobby I didn't know that dolls could be limited ><
      I don't have problem creating characters for my dolls, but some of the sculpts I fell in love with don't exist anymore T_T but I also hope I get lucky one day.

      They're:
      1 - Migidoll - Detective Cho
      2 - Crobidoll - Yuri (I just LOVE him so much) <3
      3 - Crobidoll - White Skin Lance
      4 - RSDoll - Adonis
       
    16. I really like the look of anthros, but I'm not sure that I would like having one.

      I have some dolls that I wish i could purchase, but are no longer available (such as Or-Doll Anderl), but I guess I'm a little to optimistic, because I don't like thinking that I will "probably never get" them.
       
    17. Gentle Freezia from Iplehouse.
      If I find just her head later down the line I'd definitely reconsider it.
       
    18. Pretty much any of the Dollmore Trinity girls. They are all so gorgeous, but their price point is far beyond my reach and, of course, availability for the older ones is pretty much zero unless you're the luckiest bastard alive.
       
    19. The Doll Chateau dolls. Their joints are the bane of my life. Looking at the DOA threads, their posing never seems to improve. Then, if the body sculpt is marvellous, they match it to a head I just wouldn't buy, and, if the head is marvellous, they match it to a body that just isn't up to scratch in the whole or in details (extensions! I am looking at you!). I feel they should consider offering alternative lower legs/arms, and propose the extensions welded to them somehow. Not everyone is fond of the 'lazy vegetal look' for every sculpt.
       
    20. I love
      * the dollchateau SD & MSD girls
      * SD peakswood girls
      * SD Dollstown girls

      but they are definitivly to high for me
