Sculpts you love (but will probably never get)

This could be said of any BJDS a few years ago but I broke down when I saw my David Knucci from Dollshe... I had to have it right then & there!! I saved & bought him and have never looked back

 

Ring Doll Norman Dark 2.0

I'D TRADE SOULS (but not my doll's souls) just to get my hands on him. :'( too bad he's sold out.

 

I try not to get unreasonable 'grails,' if only for the sake of my mental health. These dolls are how I give myself goals and having a 'unreachable' goal would negate their purpose.
... that being said, I'll probably never get Volk's Rei Ayanami Maid Version, due to how expensive it is and how awful I am with saving up that much money. My cap is 500USD, apparently.

 

Dollzons Sawarieda sculpt ^^ i just cant justify spending that much on a doll that and although i love the way she looks and i adore the jointing and how fragile yet strong she looks she seems like shed be to big for me ^^; i'm only 5ft tall myself so a doll thats over 3 ft is pushing it for me ^^ even just my 50 cm boy is taking some getting used to so doubling that might be way to much ^^ granted someday i might get to the point where i think i can handle a doll that large however today is not that day lol

 

Souldolls Azrael..I've only just found out about BJD's and that was a limited doll T_T

 

GongGong, that huge 80+ cm naga from Loongsoul. He's amazing, and his price sure shows for it too. I can deal going into the $500 + range, but once you get to those four-digit numbers? Nope. I do like him, but not quite enough to justify such an investment. I don't think even my grail lives up to those kinds of numbers yet, honestly.

 

And what's about a second hand market? You can find him their

 

I always wanted a Switch Soseo in Mocha brown skin but I know that will forever be a dream. I can always appreciate others owners though. When I get my finances together so many things are gonna change regarding this hobby lol

 

Do you have any molds you just like looking at? For example, I love looking at owner pics of Hounds and Saints, but feel no desire to get one.

 

Fairylands, most of them. I first fell in love with Moonlight and Roke Dragon Lord but they were sold out when I got into the hobby. When I got a minifee, I learned I didn't like fairyland in general (sold the minifee fast) but they're pretty to look at. No desire at all to get one ever.

 

Dollfie Dreams. They're too expensive and hard to take good care of... but still pretty!

 

When I like the look of the face, but have nothing to do for them in my crew. Of course this is dangerous, becaus if I find a position for them, I have to get them. This is like that e.g. with Iplehouse Claude, IOS Bel Canto or Dollits Oscar (all of them young, smiling boys - why is it like that? Is there any kind of pattern? Quite strange).

 

Ummm...about half of the dolls out there?

No but seriously, I love the Iplehouse EIDs, Soom Mega Gems and Idealians, Impldoll Idols, Dollshe 18M boys. But they're all too big for me personally. Also lots of the weirder Doll Chateau sculpts and many little creature/animal dolls. So many of them are beautiful or really cute, but I usually only bond with human dolls. Aimerai's Enfield Horror is one of my favorites that I'll probably never own just because I wouldn't know what to do with it if I did. I also like a lot of mature tinies--the ones 25cm and smaller but with adult proportions. They're so cute and would be great in a dollhouse, but I don't think I would enjoy owning one that small.

 

Yup, a lot of them, because I don't get a doll unless I have a specific character in mind.

The way I feel about it is, why should I get a doll, go through all the effort to make it look nice, when I can go on the internet and see someone's amazing work with that doll?

 

I think that Soom Dias and Dollshe Saints are absolutely gorgeous in photos. But they are two dolls that I have spent time with in real life and felt no attraction to in person. Which is a relief. They are two that would otherwise be on my list, and now I know I don't "have to" buy them.

 

Centaurs.

 

Anything over 70cm. I love the look of the large dolls but I don't have the space or money to have one. Also Doll Zone, love the moulds but would never own one.

 

Probably Soom or Iplehouse dolls. Only reason being is that I have other dolls that sort of fit that aesthetic. Mind you, I am constantly stalking both websites and drooling over the dolls and owner pics. To be honest I wish I bought a doll from these companies when I owned fewer dolls. Now my collection is moving in a different direction. So as much as I love them, I'll probably admire them from afar...but then again...lol

 

Seconding on Fairyland dolls. They all look so nice, I love seeing people's photos, I lurk on the threads for the smaller dolls sometimes, the few I've seen in person were wonderful, I browse the official site occasionally, but there's maybe one or two of their dolls I'd actually want to own ever, and that's only if I had all the rest of my wishlist magically taken care of first, haha.

 

Mostly the big, muscular dolls. I second most of the replies, its Iplehouse and Soom for me too. I love how realistic and beautiful all the sculpts are and its not that I don't want them, I can't have them lol
