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 veeeery picky about lips. I like my dolls to have unique full lips, I'm not a fan of thin ones.
       
    2. Poor posing and unnatural looking breasts. I feel like a good majority of people on this thread feel that way. I wish doll makers would take note.

    3. Puckered lips and pear shaped bodies.

      Neither do it for me.
       
    4. Super skinny bodies with no curves. I have a couple of dolls like this, but I went with the head sculpt and didn't even look at the bodies till they came in.
       
    5. Super mature faces/bodies. I mean they look perfectly fine, but I don't really like the idea of owning any. When they look little and young they just seem like cute little characters, I can largely ignore that they are anatomically correct. I know that's why I a lot of people like them, but I personally prefer to ignore that side. That being said I can't handle that babyish look either. Again, fine, but not for my own dolls. So I guess anything that seems overly human?

      I like dolls that have a slight anime look without looking like anime, sort of like a lot of semi-realistic art. (Maybe I'm drawn to that because I paint in that style? xD)
       
    6. Too human-like dolls. A bit scary. Iplehouse is still fine, though. :lol:
       
    7. Boob cleavage for sure. If the doll is gonna have a larger chest size please for the love of god find references boobs don't work that they without a bra. I also don't like muscular male dolls. They scare me for some reason (I dunno maybe because I'm a skinny guy). I love muscular girls though, I've only seen one and that was on tumblr no idea where the person got her from.

    8. I love the Loongsoul Agustus doll.. everything but the forehead wrinkles.
       
    9. I think part of the reason for boobs being the way they are is because they assume the doll will be dressed, and theoretically wearing a bra, but being made of rigid resin a normal bra won't work so they just sculpt the breasts as if it did. Would be interesting to see some different options for dolls intended to be braless/nude from the start though.
       
    10. I look at the face ups and a well proportioned body. I don't really like animal dolls, or animal sculpts. I do admit some of them are cool looking. I do have a soft spot for vampires. Love them!
       
    11. Bobobie/Resinsoul Ming would be perfect for me (a male satyr in the same scale as my other boys? Yes please!) except for the fact that his horns are smooth. I don't like it for some reason. I wish he came with the same ram horns that his female cousin Yao comes with. Probably won't stop me from owning one (or both) in the future though.
       
    12. I hate dolls with unrealistic body proportions. example is a doll with a really long neck or really long arms
       
    13. Long and skinny dolls turn me off. I think I prefer realistic bodies.:?
       
    14. I really dislike unrealistic eyes in otherwise realistic faces. Too big eyes, wonky eyes, anime-eyes...

      I also don't like thin, long noses. I think they look rather funny. :lol:
       
    15. -Tiny breasts on an adult doll
      -Too long and skinny bodies
      -Too big of a nose
       
    16. It's interesting seeing the things other people dislike! For me, there are a few:
      • Extremely thin, frail bodies
      • Giant, overly round breasts. I love big breasts! But, for example, the big minifee breasts look totally absurd.
      • Tiny lips with otherwise semi-realistic faces. Tiny lips are for anime dolls, not realism. D:
      Interestingly, I love tiny breasts on large dolls, but I feel like if a company is going to offer small breasts, they should offer large breasts as well. There's room for both in my life!
       
    17. -Dark resin tones that look unnatural/orange.

      -White skins that aren't stark white.

      -Single jointed arms.

      -Odd proportions.
      I'm referring to dolls that don't look right due to poor sculpting choices,not dolls that are meant to look unnatural such as Doll Chateau and the like.

      -Undetailed hands.

      -Badly done blood/gore themes.

      -Poorly sculpted expressions/open mouths.

      -Unsightly joints.

      -When the bottom and top lips look like they belong on two different mouths.
      In most cases the bottom lip is very plump,I've been seeing more of this lately.

      -Unnaturally straight legs.
       
    18. I'll bite, I'm in a vaguely whiny mood, haha.

      Things that have stopped me from going "ooh, want"...
      - Undefined hands
      - Tube limbs (much less common lately!)
      - Childlike head proportions on "mature" minis
      - Childlike dolls with thin arms and breasts being sold as "mature" in general
      - Very boyish heads on grown man bodies
      - ^ especially in MSD size OTL

      - Noses that look nice from the side but too narrow from the front
      - Eyes that sprawl out too close to the outer edges of the face (I like wide-set eyes, as long as they aren't wide-set AND wide/large.)
      - Face too large on the head

      The primary one:
      - I love it, but it's too freakin' big

    19. You could totally order him with her horns instead. RS will mix and match pretty much anything.
       
    20. Doll Chateau! wth?!
