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.

What attracts you to a doll?

    1. I look at alot of things but thats after the face. If the face doesn't speak to me I wont show farther interest and would continue my search. I like big eyes but can fall for smaller ones. Once i love a face I look at the body sculpt pose-ability is a big factor and weather it's realistic (i dont like skeletal dolls for my collection) mecha and fantasy are ok if it's for my character. Personality in a doll can win me over too. I have 2 on my future doll list who got me that way XD.

    2. For me a big deciding factor has been how the eyes are shaped, and their expressions. Something about them has to jump out at me before I fall in love with it. I adore the way most dolls look, but there has to be something special to me. Also interesting facial details for face ups, I love freckles and beauty/birth marks in general.

    3. What attracts me to a doll is a pretty but interesting face. If a certain doll has a pretty face which also has a sense of character about it or expression which I really like (a hint of a smile, slight sadness or a sweet expression) then I'm mostly sold.

    4. Its about the face /sculpt first if they "move" me I do prefer slim msd but I will buy a normal msd if I love her face.

    5. It's all about the harmony between the eyes and the shape and the mouth. It has to have something particular.
      I prefer "innocent" looking sculpts to very dark one, I prefer big eyes to small ones and I like "kiss-lips" better than thin one.
      Then comes the body, I look at the hands a lot! I would never ever but a doll that does not have pretty, well proportioned, expressive hands. Boobs are very important too :3.

    6. Face, face, face. I like large eyes and delicate features and a closed mouth (those teeth sort of creep me out). Size is secondary.

    9. The face goes first. I like smiling eye shape with a hint of smirky lips. Also had a penchant for unique fantasy doll bodies such as unicorn and mermaid :D

    10. Wide-set eyes, they can be small or large, as long as the space between them is at least another eye-length wide :D A friendly mouth.

      If the head comes on a body that is not poseable or playable, it will hopefully one day get a better body and becomes a hybrid. A good poser is a MUST!
      Oh, and a small chest :)

    11. I'm very particular with the nose shape. Not that I look for a specific shape but I find that several sculpts have noses that just look off for me.

    12. It depends on if the sculpt would fit a character of mine or not :)
      Though I'm usually a sucker for lovely large eyes for female dolls and angled, strong features for male dolls haha ^^
