That one turn-off

Nostrils that are just like two holes without any shaping...
Large neck...
No small chest option...

 

I am turned off by yosd's in general they are just too childlike for me. My biggest turn off is msd boys who look just way too feminine, sd boys look more masculine so I wish more msd's were like that.

But smaller...

 

Flat profiles. I've sold a doll that I otherwise liked (but didn't really love), mostly because it's profile was just too flat and I couldn't stand it! I'm a little picky about eyes being too far apart, but I can deal with that if the rest of the sculpt is nice.

The other thing I really don't like, and I realize this is a stylistic preference, is lack of detail. I ended up selling my Volks MSD, because there was no definition around the nose, no edge to the lips, no tear ducts... even my Resinsouls have tear ducts! I was really disappointed in how generic and non-detailed his face was, and he just didn't fit in with the rest of my crew, cute as he ended up being. He was a fun challenge to paint because I had to add those details in myself, though. Also his chubby baby hands made me angry.

 

- Overly large breasts.

- Massive lips.

- Warped faces/bodies. (You know, faces that look alien or like they're melting, bodies with unnaturally short or long spider-like arms...)

- Dolls that are so scrawny, you can play the washboard on their rib cage.

- Really awkward profiles. (Forehead curves too far inward; nose too far outward. Massive cheeks also tend to be breeding grounds for awkward side views.)

- Knock knees or just any knees that bend unnaturally inward.

- Anime eyes.

- Perpetually miserable or angry facial expressions. Also, perpetually bored and duck-facing expressions. Yeesh!

- Pristinely sculpted genitals. I know they're supposed to be artist dolls and not Barbies, but I just don't like it in general, so I intend to neuter any male dolls I get with this. (MY BOYS SHALL ALL BE EUNICHS! MWAHAHAHA!)

There are probably more, but that's a good start, I think.

 

Non-jointed torsos get me every time. There have been dolls that were otherwise perfect, but if their torso is all one piece I will not buy them. I've never been able to find a single piece torso that poses to my liking, and I think that's my biggest turn off. Other things are little: like barely-there-belly buttons, or, on males, poorly sculpted penises, but both of those are fixable with only a little bit of modding... I would have the guts to cut a doll in half!

 

I'm turned off by huge boobs, those ones that looks unrealistic as if they had done plastic surgery, but also MSD dolls with too childish bodies. I want my MSDs to look like they're 15, 16 years old, but some companies have bodies looking like they were 12. And last but not least if the nose is too...straight. You know, as if the doll - again - has done plastic surgery. The most companies sell their dolls with these noses and it kind of annoys me because I think it looks so fake. I want my dolls to look quite realistic, and those noses screw that up.

 

Unrealistic standards of beauty. I know that doesn't count for much since these are dolls, but I'm always irked by huge breasts and duckfaces. I mean come on. Humans don't have lips that plump without at least $1K worth of botox (if you want a really crap job) OR they're Angelina Jolie*. And don't get me started on teenage bodies with F-cup breasts. That isn't to say that that's not a thing- coming from an all-girls high school, there were a very small handful of well-endowed girls. But in a school of 1700+ they were few and far between.

*That said, I'd really like an Angeline Jolie sculpt. That would be fantastic.

 

I want dolls whose expression is one I can live with -- neutral to pleasant. I want nothing that is either manically smiling nor sour and angry.
Then there are the unnatural boobs, the kind that don't happen without serious surgery.

 

Large breasted dolls. 90% of the time, it looks absolutely fake.

Surprisingly enough, teeth don't really bother me that much, since most sculpts I like seem to do it well. Fangs, and especially tongues, though, are huge turn-offs. (Sorry, Infernale)

Giant heads on pencil-thin necks.

 

-If the head proportion is way off what it should be to fit the body.

-Male bodies that are super ripped and covered in bulging veins.

-Extremely pear-shaped female bodies.

-Heads where the eyes are somehow sculpted wonkily, so the face always looks a bit 'off'.

 

There are a few things that are a turn off for me when I'm choosing a doll especially since I have just ordered my first one

- Size, I dislike tiny dolls they just creep me out MSD would probably be the smallest I go
- Asleep/Semi closed eyes dolls
- Bulging veins some veins look nice but I hate over excessive ones
- Open mouths with or without teeth I don't mind fangs that show on the lips as long as the mouth is closed and I don't mind slightly parted lips
- miserable angry facial expressions, perpetually bored and duck-facing expressions. I like a more calm neutral expression with a hint of a smile

 

Sculpt-wise:
Environmental resin. Sorry, I just can't stand how it feels.

Doll-wise:
Eyebrows. I'm a huge stickler for eyebrows. Been known to cut a wig to make it have 'bangs' to cover up mediocre eyebrows on an otherwise beautiful face-up. Peculiar, I know.

 

Turn Off's

- Huge lips.
-Dolfie Dream style eyes.
-Eyes too far apart or too close together.
-"Blank stare" dolls - emotionless.
-Overly emotional faces, huge smiles or noticeable frowns.
-Too realistic Dolls.
-Sculpts that don't look "detailed" Long flat boring faces.
-Flat profiles
-Sausage fingers on girl sculpts
-Weird knee joints
-Too pink skin
-dispraportionate head to body (head either looks too large or too small)
-Shapeless legs (stick legs)

 

Biggest turn off for me - too thin noses.
I like variation in noses, big, small, curved, upturned, button cute.... but too thin is a definite deal breaker.

 

For me, it's...hands. Strange, yes, but I can't stand it when a doll is sculpted with so much detail, and the hands look like they came off Barbie. :/

 

Pointy nipples, man. I know most dolls have this, but there are some dolls I won't even look at if I notice their nipples are too long or pronounced. Like, I love Dollshe Ausley, she's gorgeous, but those nipples bother me so much, gah!

 

Heads that are too big for bodies, weirdly pushed together breasts, open mouths that show teeth, and I've come across a few dolls with extra joints in weird places that just really sort of threw me off??

Also, I agree on that nipple thing. Having them isn't a problem so much as like, if they're still obviously pointy even through a couple layers of clothing. It's distracting. XD

 

White dolls without blush/makeup. ;;
