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. Buggy eyes, or eyes that look wayyy too big to fit proportionally on a face.
      Also, short legs, and skinny arms on a muscular body is a turn off too. :/
       
    2. -Small hands with fat fingers
      -Large noses that take up most of the face
       
    3. Pale resin dolls. Bought one and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. He looked flat and featureless.
       
    4. Big noses. This is my greatest problem with Bobobie--not the loose stringing, but the ginormous conks.
       
    5. Short stumpy limbs.
       
    6. My biggest turn off is really big breasts on dolls. Especially the ones on Iplehouse EID and SID. I'm sorry if this is hurtful to anyone, but to me they look disgusting. Really thin upper bodies in combination with "silicone breasts" turns me off the most! It just looks so fake.

      Round faces with chubby cheeks i also dislike, even though I got a doll that looks like that, so guess there are exceptions!
       
    7. Too much space between nose and mouth

      Noses that don't fit with sculpts (in my opinion)
       
    8. this is probably gonna annoy some people but... i really hate tinies. i just cant stand them. they all have weird expressions like that one ive seen a lot of with the huge open-mouthed smile. theyre way too small to dress to and that bugs me coz i love making outfits. i also dislike extremely realistic models. oh and most fur wigs ive seen around. i have yet to see one that doesnt just look like a puff ball on top of the head

    9. Round facial features. I like my doll's faces to be sharp and striking. I have a huge thing for pointy chins and facial contour, I'm not really sure why. It applies to the human world too.

      I don't really like the idea of me owning a 60cm doll, but that's more because if I'm going to go big I want to go to the extreme side of the spectrum (70cms). Otherwise I'm content with my MSDs.
       
    10. I can think of a few.. HUGE BREASTS.. I have large breasts, they aren't fun. My back hurts because of them. There's a point where it's just TOO BIG.
      There's a doll out there.. dunno the model.. but the tongue sticks out and licks the top lip... I.. no.
      Chubby child hands on mature faced/bodied dolls.
       
    11. -Unnatural breasts. They aren't an oval cut in half and lopped on your chest. Honestly, I love the Doll Chateau body for that. When the body is that thin, that's what the breasts look like, a lot of the time.

      -Huge eyes. I'm not talking big eyes, but those things that make the doll look like a Sugar Glider.

      -Unnatural expressions. They can be really cute for pictures, but I feel bad the doll is holding a huge pout or winking all the time. Must get tiring.

      -Snappy arms. Two of my tinies have snappy arms and legs and they drive me up the wall. They're either flared out or snapped in an L.

      Ah, I know I could go on and on.

      On the subject of child faces with 6 packs: My little brother and I did gymnastics when we were little, like, 5 and 7 years old little, and obviously we had little kid bodies but both of us had 6 packs. My older brother thought it looked ridiculous, but it's not as strange as you'd think.
      That being said, the mini fee body is a bit intense.
       
    12. Certain male legs. *cough* Granado *cough* There lower legs look so thick and disproportionate. The rest of the sculpt is great...
      And as much as I love jointed hands they just seem odd looking to me.

    13. I can't put my finger on why I'm turned off of most of the sculpts that I don't like. I probably scroll past too fast to really think about it. Except for a couple deal breakers.

      I've learned looking through many pictures of different dolls that I really prefer light or white resin colors. I usually skip right over tan dolls when browsing dolls in the online shops.
      Also, I've seen a few dolls with eyes that are too far apart. Some really attractive sculpts too, except I couldn't get past those dang eyes.

      Aside from that, it's a mixed bag that I can't figure out. Makes it hard to narrow down the ones I DO like & what types I should look for actually. I just "know" when I like one.

      Oh, and a huge chest isn't my cuppa tea... I would much prefer a doll with small breasts over one with very big ones.
      Most dolls are right in the middle though, and that's okay.
      That's about it!
       
    14. Dolls that have a big smile and show their teeth.
      Its not only a turn off, I just cant look at them and sometimes even think they're reeeally scary >_>
      New Supia Head for example...
       
    15. For some reason, I actually like the long legs xD One of my big turn offs, though, (Mind you, I'm still a newbie who's searching for info about these dolls, but I've already come to hate some aspects of dolls by looking at their pictures) One of my big turn-offs from dolls are the "squished boob-a-palooza" looking dolls. I know that dolls will be in clothes, but it just bothers me knowing that under her shirt she has these HUGE boobs that are squished together.
       
    16. Big noses, especially in profile view. I am a nose freak and have had cosmetic work done on mine, and I could never have a doll that didn't have that perfect ski slope nose, it would bother me to no end..
       
    17. I can't stand body-sculpts that are too thin. Especially female body-sculpts that are too thin. Really slender legs (with a mile of daylight between the thighs) and torsos sculpted with ribs showing just do not suite my tastes. I've seen a lot of love for Doll Chateau on forums, so I know many of you will disagree, but I just plain do not like their bodies. They look...starved to me. I don't like the aesthetic. This goes for any doll-body that's--in my eyes--too slender/thin. Doll Chateau was just the first example that came to mind for me.
       
    18. Overly defined ribs and muscles and/or breasts.
      Generally anything which doesn't seem properly proportioned, such as massive noses or much too large eyes.
      Also how the elbow and knee (and various other body joints) work, if they seem to bend the joints in a weird way so that it looks unnatural when your doll is sitting on the floor for example, or just that the joints themselves look odd.
       
    19. Hoo boy - like many others here, I really don't like oversized breasts; cartoony proportions are a definite turn-off. I don't like super stylized faces with severe angles - but at the same time I don't like faces on the roly-poly side of the spectrum either. Exaggerated anime-style eyes don't do it for me either (yeah, I know that just about all ABJDs have exaggerated eyes, but there's some like Dolfie Dreams and certain DC sculpts that turn me off). Super muscly male torsos are also very much not my thing. Total turn off.

      Though I'm loosening up about it, I *really* prefer three-part torsos rather than two-part ones and even then there's a particular kind of three-party torso that I like. I've come across so many dolls that I'm like "Yes! YES!" but then discover that the torso is totally not what I want; that's enough to strike a doll from my list.
       
    20. My number one biggest pet peeve is when the eyes are to close together it Really bugs me I just can't get over that
      And my number two is baby cheeks/chubby cheeks I'm not a fan of them at all but if I like the eye shape enough I might be able to get past it.
