That one turn-off

Fangs that are just painted on the lips... That's just not how fangs work!

 

As much as i love yosd sculpts i wish they had a "slimmer" option, not saying the are too big, just i prefer a little slimmer, a little less chibi.
Same with the yosd hand, i wish they had more realistic hands instead of the chubby chibi looking hands ><

 

It's usually the nose... I will come to love everything about a sculpt but dislike something about the nose. I know you can sand these things down but I have never really tried modding and I would be quite scared to go straight for the nose! I have seen someone do a nose mod by boiling the resin and just pushing the nose a bit! It was genius! And if you got it wrong you can boil it again and it goes back to the original shape

Also I really hate boy bodies that are really muscled inappropriately, they are usually really skinny but have jagged neck veins that look rather strange!

 

Big eyes. I used to sort of like them, but anymore it's just not my thing. I like the more realistic, smaller eyes these days...

 

~~ This! a hundred times, this! it just drives me NUTS when I see a vampire doll fanged this way. It doesn't make any sense!

 

There's probably going to be a lot of things that I won't like but for right now, it has to be the nose. If the doll is perfect but I don't like the nose, I probably won't buy it. I'm too scared and lazy to mod dolls right now.

 

I have a few things that will turn me off a doll.

Toothy dolls. I can deal with just a hint of teeth showing, but a lot of teeth, not fangs but teeth, drives me nuts.

Mouths that are far too small for that face.

Eyes that are set too far apart. Also ones that are overly and unnaturally large, or really oddly shaped.

 

This is such a good question. Automatic turnoffs:
-eyes too close together
-too much space between the nose and mouth
-yellow skin
-"flat" faces, as can be seen in resinsoul and bobobie

 

Breasts are a pet peeve on bjd dolls. (Awkward to type that) Anyway I dislike it when it looks like someone just stuck on a round ball to the chest, or if they are ultra tiny and perfectly round on an adult doll.

Fangs have to be just right and natural looking not just stuck onto the doll or painted there. I truly prefer them to be inside the mouth for the most part anyway.

Un-natural looking chin to neck ratio. Not quit sure to describe this better... it might be something in my head.

Ultra generic face that correlates to anime, don't get me wrong I see people with anime type dolls and they are fine but for me I prefer facial quirks or unusual to make the doll seem interesting. I get bored with the big eye, little nose, little mouth look very fast.

 

- I'm not a fan of childish msd and sd heads - those with big eyes and no expresion, like porcelain dolls (volks dolls are good example in my pinion).
- I'm really annoyed with a dolls with short dewlap like bobobies dolls. From the profile without the wig It looks awful
- Single joints -I love it when the doll poses like a dream and not just looks, and setting it takes forever.
- Fingers with no structure.
- MSD and SD Dolls should looks like a human,not as bland bonded mass, so dolls from dollhouse and iplehouse I consider brilliant.

 

Well, I'm pretty hard to please when it comes to finding the perfect 'full picture' in a doll, but some things that bug me:

- Big, boxy, square doll bodies where the doll looks too short compared to their cm height.
- Single jointed arms (unless the range of movement is still high)
- Dolls without torso joints
- Generally poor-posing dolls
- Dolls that are too big, just not the right size

I actually love dolls with teeth BTW ;-).

 

I have a few too.
Female bodies for instance. I think I only saw one female doll I liked ever, bodywise.
Pouty lips and chummy faces, and oversized hips. It's just a no go for me.
I allways thought white skin, but I'm in the proces of getting a white skined doll. won't stay that way, but still white to start with^^.
and the biggest peeve of all, the ones that look anorecsic to me. I can understand that people see them as artistic, but me sorry, I do not like them at all.

 

I feel like I'm going to buck the trend here but...

Male bodies - can't stand them, in the hobby or out of the hobby, particularly muscular ones. I feel sorry for my hubby but it's true.

Childish faces on adult bodies - Rin and Ante in MNF size are my two bugbears right now

Teeth, my Elysia has had hers removed

Female sculpts on male bodies - it's just trippy for me, fair enough if other people like it

Out of proportion anything whether it's the body or the facial features. For me, everything needs to be in proper proportions including the bust. No flat or crazy oversized silicon boobs for me

I feel really picky right now >.< lol

 

Un-realistic fangs on vampire dolls just irk me...

 

I have some turn-offs, but they may change over time, since I'm still new to the hobby >.<

I don't really like too childish bodies (unless they are for a childish character or a kid)
Too small eyes... >.<
Some facial expressions, I like smiles and pouty lips and all, but not too much, and I'm not very fond of frowns etc.
Way too much curves, (for example very thin waist but big thighs)
Too big head
Unnatural colours like green, purple, red, blue etc., it can look awesome but I'm not sure I want one

 

For me it's all in the face/head. They can't look like a kid traced a face (I've seen some of those like that, where they look just...off) and I have to be able to see a gender in the face. If it looks too nuetral it drives me bonkers.

 

Anime faces actually, Id never get one of those, also enormous boobs squeezed together, no torso joint, eyes to close together or to far apart, really muscular guys and single jointed are my personal dislikes

 

It always bothers me when doll have what I call "stump neck." It's when the head doesn't seem to fit on the body quite right and you can see the rounded end of neck bulging out underneath the head. I'm also not a fan of macaroni noodle knees where there's this big elbow macaroni noodle looking joint piece in between the thigh piece and the calf where the knee cap should go. That and unnecessary parts (Doll Chateau's Adult bodies are big offenders on this) such as weird joints that don't seem to serve a purpose.

Despite my mini rant, I don't necessarily hate these things, I just wouldn't buy a doll with them since they aren't to my personal tastes.

 

Not counting size (all the lovely dolls I've seen that are the wrong scale entirely, sigh), I think the main thing for me that makes me decide against it is either useless torso joints (ones that I can't see doing anything), or no torso jointing at all. I like my dolls to be able to slump and shift, not to sit and stand perfectly upright like they're trapped in a corset, and when there's no torso joint, or the joint doesn't benefit posing at all, it's a huge turnoff for me. I've got a headless body sitting cast aside on a shelf, in fact, that I rejected in part because the only body joint has a huge resin peg in the middle of it that stops it from moving at all, making it useless and driving me crazy.

 

Hmm.. You know, I've grown quite a lot in this hobby. Things I used to downright hate I now like. But there are certain things I don't see myself ever enjoying...

- Wide-set eyes. I see this in Bobobie/Resinsoul, and Dollzone sculpts like Mo and Fairyland MNF Ryeon.
- Smooth/plasticy resin. I 100% prefer when you can feel tooth on a doll. Obviously I deal with it though because I love my MNF's. But if I feel a doll and there's tooth, it's just great.
- Dolls under about 15cm. I've tried to own and love them, but they are just too small. When a doll is so small, I just feel like I'd lose it. Feels more like a kelly doll or something than a BJD. I wish I could own then because they are so cute, but they just are not for me.
-Smiley dolls. Some of them I can handle and love, but for the most part, I really don't like dolls that smile. I much prefer the pouty, neutral, sad, or angry expressions. Smiley dolls just often don't do it for me.
-Really really big lips. (For EX: DC Agatha/DIM Laia) I just.. it's not for me.
-Orange-tan. I haven't seen one doll in an orangy-tan resin color that I've liked. It's just not for me. Neither is "Normal skin yellow" I just don't like it. I like pretty much every other skintone though.
-Huge noses
-Jointed hands. I've tried to like them, but on almost every doll I see them on, they don't look normal.
-Anthros with non-magnetic ears. This really irritates me. I will not let myself have a Pipos doll because I can't stand the thought of having a perpetually bald doll. I wish pipos would just attach their ears with magnets so I could put a wig on them :c
-French resin. I'm not really sure why this is even a thing when it ages so terribly.
-DC extra joints. I don't understand them, and I don't like the look (Especially the neck one)
-Headcaps where you have to attach the string to the headback. My Bluefairy doll is an offender on this one.
-Male dolls with unrealistically large hands
-Pointy nipples. This just annoys me. It makes the doll look constantly cold or something.. I just don't like them.

Huh. That was a way bigger list than I thought I'd produce. I guess I'm more picky than I thought. :P But there are about 1,000 things I love, so it's ok
