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.

    1. I've been loving MaskcatDoll lately. I have 2 of her tiny girls, and I have my eye on a couple of her bigger girls, too. <3

    3. cherry castle -- I wish I went for that adolescent tiny, pointed chin look. I would buy Stika. Be Yours -- I really like Be Yours Kikyou, Olive and Cathaya. The face-up artist have done stunning work on them.

      I think they're both on SWDoll too. It seems like Legend Doll has dolls from Be Yours that SWDoll doesn't have and vice versa.

    4. I definitely have to second MaskcatDoll and Be With You/Dollsbe. They are two of my favorite companies. The sculpts are just wonderful and they are so nice too. ^__^

    5. Winterrain Studio?

      I just preordered their Cheong and Jin heads a few days ago, prior to which I tried to look for owner photos of their dolls but couldn't find anything or any discussion about their dolls... which is such a shame. Their boys look really cute~

    6. Domadoll, for sure, is not well known. She makes some very interesting dolls. Like her Okja sculpt- a mature, chubby tiny. Her backstory is she's a super hero that makes skinny models gain weight. Very cute!

    7. I have to add AdaDan's (or L'amoire de Dandan) she only has two sculpts right now but she is very talented! Nightingale is an awesome sculpt, very cute and different, I love it!

    9. Yas! I love Winterrrain Studio´s sculpts <3

      For me, I think Huajing doll and SC-doll are fairly unknown :3

    11. VaniDoll! I stumbled upon them last year and I still haven't seen a single owner picture, even though I know some people have bought their heads since then.

    12. I fell in love with Nightingale when I saw Ada Dan's notice here on DoA and ordered her immediately. It's almost time for the heads to be completed. I can't wait!

    13. I love Leledoll!! I can't even remember how I found the site but they are really cute. I've never seen anyone who actually has one though!

      I would also like to mention 2D dolls! They are anime style and NO ONE has them!! Or only a few people do! They are really cute though! http://www.acbjd.com/2d-doll-c-394.html?zenid=b8a985399b49c7dbf407d4db2fbff817

    14. Oh yes! MaskcatDoll have beautiful sculpts!

    15. So, the larger companies definitely have a huge following, but what about those lesser-known companies that just have the perfect face, body, or service?

      This can be a thread to celebrate the smaller and lesser known companies.

      What are your favorite small companies? On a similar vein, what are your favorite unpopular or underused sculpts?

    17. I really like MaskcatDoll, they're not such a big company, since it only has one sculptor, but still produce high-quality, beautiful sculpts with fantastic customer service.

      If you want to find more lesser known companies though, there is also this thread:https://denofangels.com/threads/unpopular-unknown-bjd-doll-company.612680/

      Theres a few pages of smaller/unknown companies there ^__^

    19. My favorite "unkown" BJD companies are two that I discovered towards the late months of last year. The main reason I fell in love with the two studios (in both cases I believe they are both a one man studio) are some face-ups that made me really love their sculpt and got interested in their other dolls. Now I am going to keep an eye on both of these studios for any future releases!
