Things that are hard to find that you would like to see more of

Hazel eyes that are actually hazel and not just a shade of brown (they should have both green and brown in them but the ones I find only ever seem to be a solid shade). And sandals! It's almost impossible to find sandals for male dolls, and all the ones I've found for girls are for heeled feet. Where are the dolly birkenstocks xD

 

Omg exactly!! High quality sandals for males and also, in 70+ cm size please ;_;

 

More diverse short wigs. It was said here previously there are just too many wigs with the bangs, but if you shop for short hair it is mostly variations of one style(with the bangs yes). I feel like if you wanna something else like pulled back hair you have to look for a custom made.

 

More 1/6 size wigs
Plain old fashion resting hands without jointed fingers 1/3
Actual physical bjd stores like in Japan.
Cheaper prices & larger selection for bjd hobby

It’s not fun to wait 4 months for 2 1/3 hands to be delivered when your doll rn has broken finger & there nowhere to go to get it ASAP

 

I’d love to see more face sculpts with kitsuneme (fox eyes)!
I’ve only found two so far. The rest of the closed eye sculpts that I’ve found are sleeping ones that don’t have the upturned eyes, or ones with only one eye closed.

 

Ah I remember a maker I've seen who made a fantastic sculpt with that sort of eyes but I cannot find the instagram page! Chances are it's one of the couple sculpts you know about, it's true that they're super rare.

 

Smirking, cocky and confident older women. I want a woman sculpt in her thirties/forties with a smug smirk, crow's feet and smile lines.
*Sigh*, that would be the dream...

 

As someone approaching 40... Yes! I'd love to see a doll with those features!

And more variety in male dolls as well - I'm happy to see curvier bodies out there for women, but unless they're chibi style, all the male bodies seem to be skinny, lean and muscular.

 

FURNITURE! I have a hard time finding cute and pretty seats, I haven't had much luck beyond the Volks ones.

 

There is a Mel Odom doll violin that comes with an outfit called Crescendo that is to scale. It's nicely made too.

Missy's Imaginings has a lot of nice free patterns for several sizes of dolls, basic stuff.

 

Dragons. But not cartoony or anthro dragons, stuff like Cuartosdolls dragon dragons. Animalistic, fantasy but not over-the-top, classic 4 or 2 limbed dragon with realistic body proportions and a somewhat plain, highly customizable silhouette.

 

Probably a silly question but have you seen the Dream Valley dragons they did recently? Four legged fantasy dragons with wings. DollZone also had a shockingly large two-legged dragon. Both are/were limited to very limited runs but Dream Valley usually do a round two of their sculpts and the dragons seem to have been very successful while DollZone's limited two-legged Shadow is still available for another couple of weeks.

 

Yesss I did see those! Unfortunately I’m very picky when it comes to my dragons and had some gripes with both of them, but they’re also both so cool!

 

Fair enough, I assumed if you liked dragons you probably had. I also very much support the desire for more dragons. Out of curiosity, what were the gripes you had about each of them?

To add to this thread more generally, I think my thing would be sculpts similar to Iplehouse, SartoriaJ or RaccoonDoll but where I can just buy the head.

 

Casual separates made with the same quality and attention to detail as elaborate full sets. Maybe I've just been out of the game for too long but it seems so hard to find well made casual pieces. I don't want a t-shirt or hoodie that looks like it came out of a barbie set to put on a thousand dollar doll.

 

Gripes with the Dream Valley was the lack of muscle sculpture and face sculpture, wasn’t fond of the face shape, and the sculpted on armor.
I actually really like the DollZone guy, he’s just not exactly my vibe and I don’t have any money

 

Haha, I dwell in Harajuku fashion, cosplay for dolls etc. (beginner, though) and I can tell you - finding clothes that would be casual but nicely done and fashionable - it's a pain in the neck. Finding wig in cybergothic style? Doll goggles? Yeah, not happening.

And props. Seriously, 1:3 scale si so much easier to make, we have 3D printers, where are all the props for 1/3? I have Amber from Island Doll and in promo photos she is with violin.I would love that violin, even if I would have to pay for it separately. :/ Nope! Not a chance. :/

And bags - such a common stuff and not many are offered. Guess I will have to learn how to sew them myself :/

 

I remember having a pair of Another Space black leather goggles for my MSD Hewitt once upon a time. I do look back at that BJD era fondly!

 

- see my pain? I probably will end up doing them in clay and covering them with waterproof glue XD

 

I just remembered an obvious thing - dogs for BJDs. I want a rottie for my 1/3 girl, doesn't have to be jointed. I bought a 20 cm toy Maltese that will be her companion, but as a big dogs lover I really feel the lack of dogs for bjds. I know there are a couple of small ones but I wish I could have that beautiful greyhound or proud rottie or alert GSD for my girl. :/ I can only dream. :/
