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. Guess which artist currently has my heart? (it rhymes with Rittle Lebel)

      (though Villitunes and La Compagnie de Radis are both cute critter dolls I'd like to get more of)

    2. I really like Merry Doll Round. The sculpts are unique and distinctive, and I have a Fang with a Komorebi body.
      I also like Simply Divine. I have the Harlequin head which is one the most beautiful sculpts I own, in my opinion. It is huge, though,,,
      Twigling makes interesting and beautiful dolls. I have a Pieta v2 head, used to have an Ingenue head, and would like to eventually get a full Twigling doll.

      It can be hard to find dolls with older features or non model or idol features, so I also appreciate Les Enfants Terribles (I have a LET Bryan head) and X-ann Dolls (I just ordered a Mari head).

    3. I like how odd and unique Cirque de Phantomes's dolls are. I received the Nekomata I ordered from them yesterday, and I absolutely adore him.

    4. I'm very picky re: dolls I actually want to own, but I admire plenty of artists whose dolls I don't want for myself. Do Dolls Dream comes to mind, as well as The Curvy Alien, Depths Dolls, and Maskcat. My only current BJD is by Lillycat, and I adore her. Mature 1/6 dolls are my thing, and those seem to be easier to find from small companies than the larger, more established dollmakers.

      Also Marina Bychkova/Enchanted Doll. I do very much want one of her dolls for my collection, but like...good luck.

    6. Alchemic Labo (Gentaro Araki and a helper) and Kinoko Juice (2 people)
      Gentaro Araki is one of my favorite sculptors of all time and Kinoko Juice just does the most adorable work ever. Both of them are very well known though. Really almost all BJD companies are very small companies even if the language barrier stops most of us from seeing what's going on behind the scenes.

    8. I absolutely LOVE FaeWoodsDolls. Her work is incredibly unique and cute! I currently own 4 of her dolls, and hopefully to be 6 within this year! :D

    9. I have a lot of favorite artists, but one I don't see talked about much is Kaniboom! They make furry/anime style dolls, and they stylize their bodies in a really cute and cartoony way. Their dolls are also quite nicely engineered for their unique body shapes, too.

      I also love Gokidoll and Ybeedoll! :3nodding: And though it's more widely known I also really adore Miracle Doll, it always seems like they're doing something new and unique.

    10. Oh this is an awesome thread; the Cirque de Phantomes dolls look amazing @Leo Pheonix - how are you finding your Nekomata?

      I really love Magic Mirror dolls (I have four - 2X Olwen, a Keira and an Erin) and hope to get one day soon-ish:
      1) a Momoni (thinking Somni) and
      2) Spirit Imprint She is a Dragon

      I am a little scared to buy any artist Head only options; hybriding is not my favuorite think to do

    12. My first BJD is a clockwork faery Moriko, so I'm a bit biased. I really like the cute little unicorn sculpt that was recently released too!

    13. @ajmailey I love handling my Nekomata, though he can't stand unaided. He's also a little rough, so I'm going to sand him once the weather gets better. I don't mind since working on him will be bonding time.
