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'm getting back into the hobby after a long time away, and I've found in the intermeaning years my tastes in bjd's have changed. I've become overwhelmingly partial to the more unique and varied types of faces you get with individual artists or smaller doll companies. I'd love to see some rec's and photos of dolls that you're partial to from these sort of sculptors, or ones that you have yourself!

    2. I like DollPamm, I think they’re a pretty small operation? K-Doll has some neat heads too

    3. oh I love following small artists. My current favorites are Rugged Realism, Maddybear Dolls, Bonelace, and I've been really excited to see more of Meeksdoll new line that they're working on. I basically follow almost every doll artist I can since i love seeing what people are working on.

    4. I love ize_stage and angeloguedoll, both on Instagram. More specifically, angeloguedoll, the artist is the original sculpture for SOOM. It was a dream come true that I have found the artist for my favorite doll company.

    8. Another fan of MaskcatDoll here. My main doll focus has never been really on BJDs but on other dolls, and the main reason for that was that SD was a size simply too big for me, and I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for in MSD or tiny size. I always kept drooling over the amazing sculpt variety in SD realm though.

      That changed when I discovered Maskcat. They even have the most amazing 1/6 girls. And if I ever get a “big girl” one day, I think she would be a Maskcat too. Sorry for the long reply, I just can’t stop praising them.

      Here is my tiny beloved Lottie:

    10. They've been mentioned, but I definitely second Nakana BJD, simplydivine and meeksdoll! All of them have distinct styles and are beautiful.

    11. Atelier Momoni is a favorite of mine. I don't own any of their dolls yet, but I love seeing pictures of them and have Kitty M on my wish list. I really love the aesthetic of the dolls made by Batchix, too.

    13. Goki doll has some very cute faces! I have a mini-Kai which i love, and if i weren't trying to limit my doll buying, I'd probably get another of their sculpts too

    14. Twigling!! Though based on her website, she might look like a larger company, Reese is a single artist who does all the sculpting, and has made my favourite body in the hobby--seriously, best articulation of all the dolls I own.

      Other than her, I know BlackCherry is 2 people, and I love their sculpts--Ichigo is my fave.

    20. Gotta chime in here with Dust of Dolls being one of my favorites!! Their dolls are just so cute and round :D

      Also seconding that Little Rebel has really amazing sculpts, but I admire them from afar as they're mostly 1/3 scale.
