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.

That one turn-off

Aug 2, 2012

    1. I'm not very fond of dolls that show teeth (I'm fine with vampire teeth). I'm not quite sure why, though. I also don't like bodies with really huge breasts or those really big breasts that look like two randomly placed half circles on their chest. It's also looks like it would be a hassle to find clothes for,too, in my opinion.
       
    2. I'm not a huge fan of vampire teeth, or, at least, I haven't seen many I really like. Teeth in general, for me, depends on the sculpt and all. The Only-Doll girl I'm getting has teeth, but they're cute with her mouth as well, so I don't mind them.
      I'm also not a big fan of overly pointy nipples, or too huge breasts. I've seen some that just don't look like they fit right on the body, cause they're too big, just too awkward looking.
       
    3. I really dislike dolls with overdone expressions. I feel like it really limits the doll's personality. The one that completely bothers me is the Crying Mona from Ringdoll. I shudder when I see that face! :o
       
    4. I really hate poorly designed double joints that gap when the arm or leg is bent! So annoying! I prefer single joints or well designed double joints that look more natural. I also hate bodies that have tube arms & legs with no muscle definition at all. Wrists that have very limited movement bug me too. Basically if a doll has a poorly executed body I'll pass on it, or try to hybrid.
       
    5. When the eyes are wayyyy tooo big (in fact when any body part is noticeably out of proportion). I like the dolls to look realistic.

    6. I think the biggest one is long, sharp, super pointy, or slender noses which it seems a ton of bjds have... So that helps narrow down some for me when I look. Sometimes dolls can look fantastic from the front & then the side profile will look like a random pinch of resin poking out from the rest of the face. Cartoony looking dolls with big heads aren't my thing much either, unless they look other worldly or somewhat alien. I can see the appeal for others, but otherwise I tend to lean towards more realistic features? Also there is certain breasts, though breast sizes don't bother me. Sometimes there will be child size chests with full sculpted nipples which, to me, looks off. That, or large boobs that look like half a circle or resembles half a doll eye molded to the body. XD.
      Cant get over the fake double joints. The joints with a nub attached to the elbow looking like a double jointed nub, when its actually molded to part of the knee or elbow. This makes a bothersome gap with posing. Now that I think about it I try to look for dolls with less shown joints. A smooth torso, smooth knees and such... This gives the appeal that I can show off their doll body comfortably in clothing where the belly or knees would show.
      ... Hmm... Guess I'm a bit fussy... Heh. ^^;

    7. My biggest turn-off number one would be melon boobs. You know, when you cut the fruit in half and glue it to the chest of the doll. Number two is the overdone expressions on some dolls. A bit of emotion is okay, but the ones like the girl from Ringdoll... just no. Third would be very anime-like dolls. It's just not the style I like.

    8. I know it may sound weird but I'm not too fund of open eyed dolls. I always fall in love with half closed or droopy eyed dolls. I don't think open eyed dolls are ugly or anything ( I love tons of owner pictures with open eyed dolls ) but they're not something I would buy.
      For example, the Soom Dia after school edition; I love the romantic head, but as soon as I saw the open eyed version, I immediately lost interest.
       
    9. I really dislike sad or angry expressions. I want a doll to make me feel happy when I look at it, and smiles or even a neutral expression does that for me. Crying dolls make me want to cry too. :(

      Melon boobs and pointy nipples are another turn-off. I want the shape to be realistic but I don't let my nipples show through my clothes and my doll's shouldn't either.
       
    10. I got my first doll not that long ago. Her boobs are huge, I've seen much bigger than hers but they are just so big! She doesn't have any tops yet so they are just so in-your-face. And going off the fat thighs comment, I've only seen fantasy themed dolls with large thighs and it works on them but I bet it looks pretty weird on non fantasy dolls.
       
    11. I usually don't like dolls with teeth. Poor face-up is a problem too.
       
    12. For me it would be:
      - Big breasts. Like a lot of people have already said. Just way too big in proportion with the rest of the body or big and squashed that they only look "natural" if the doll is wearing a corset. I dislike this that much that I prefer dolls that are the opposite and more flat chested.
      - Fantasy skin colors. I see dolls people have that have nice rare colors, but I couldn't have one myself.
      - White skin color. Not always, it depends a lot on the tone, but sometimes it's just way too white for my like.
      - 1/6 dolls with a childish expression/face on a mature looking body (with breasts or things like that).
      - Dolls with marked ribs.
      - Male dolls that are basically all muscle. It depends on the sculpt but sometimes I think it's a bit like the breasts, too much.
      - Male dolls with a bump instead of a penis, just weird.

      Probably I'm missing some, but these are the first ones that have come to mind.
       
    13. Painted on fangs. I also don't like sculpted fangs on mouths that are completely closed.
       
    14. So far, the only thing that I've found I didn't like is the squished breasts that some dolls have. It just doesn't look right!
       
    15. All companies follow the torso-to-arm rule, and will make the bend in the elbow halfway down the torso like it normally is on a human body. But for whatever reason, some bodies look like the arm doesn't go far enough down the leg, to where it's at crotch level, and so even though they got a technical aspect correct, overall it's just off. I hate that so much. If the arms look too short compared to the legs, I will not buy the doll.

      I also don't like really realistic face sculpts on bodies with a tiny neck. It's so offputting to me. Or if the feet and hands are vastly different sizes? (5 Star Doll comes to mind...)
       
    16. For me it dolls with giant breast that is squeezed together. And dolls with anime faces. I can appreciate them and look at them. But never imagine me owning one.

    17. Giant hands! Anything that reminds me of the yaoi hands meme is a no for me.
       
    18. For me it's similar to what most of you said:
      -I don't like the joints gaping or not meeting in simple poses (I like smooth lines specially the legs better in stockings)
      -I don't like giant boobs it's just too much, but i don't like flat chest either on mature/adult styled doll bodies
      -Super expressive not super angry or sad or happy. If it was an inter-changable option that might be ok for some photos
      -pure white resin it's just lifeless to me unless on a vampire doll
      -Teeth >.< I hate teeth dont like em vampire doll or not. Could be i just saw none I like (I do like Supiadoll Haeun only allowance)
      -Open mouths is just weird (I do want Sq-labs Navi it's slightly open i guess)
      -Super mature child dolls never seen a 6 year old with a b-c cup
      -last but not least large noses, eyes, foreheads, hands,eh i usually ignore once i see those ^^;

      Now that I look at it all I seem picky ._. lol
       
    19. Oh man oh man oh man.

      - Too big boobs. This is the main reason I prefer boy dolls, not saying there aren't small chested girls, but the majority...seriously.
      - Skinny noses. I like wide set noses and jawlines.
      - Tiny muscles. Either give me a man or a young boy. The MSD with too detailed baby muscles freak me out.
       
    20. One of my turn-offs is definitely the same as yours, TS.
      I also don't like child-like faces on adult-like bodies. ;x
