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 have 75 dolls currently and they're all male. To be fair, 2 have "angel bodies" (OT 28cm Obitsu male & RS Pixiu) and one is a female doll I had modded to male (Soom Vesuvia) but they are all male characters. I don't see myself adding any females to my collection as they hold zero interest for me and I've been collecting for 14 years. The only one I might bend that stance on is for an Elf Doll Catsy (I'd style has as Bast) but even then I'd have to think about it hard as female dolls are just not my thing at all.

    2. As long as the sculpt is neither too realistic nor too anime like, I don’t really care.
      I am drawn to edgy, balancing between pretty or elvish features - gender or its lack is a secondary factor to me.

      Bodies - not to pronounced in terms of gender features, boyish, skinny and weird are way to go for me!

      My first dolls are boys more on a cute side and now I am looking for the accompanying girl to join them.

      It’s much more about general aesthetic vibes I get from a doll and OC/idea I have for them. Saying all of the above, it is easier to find male rather than female dolls I find aesthetically pleasing.
       
    3. I personally enjoy females more. I always have thought of the female form to be more beautiful and elegant. The human body in general is interesting and a marvelous spectacle. The things it's capable of and how it works. That being said, I much prefer the female form over the male form personally.
       
    4. Surprisingly for me, I prefer female sculpts over males. I think I may just be more discerning with male sculpts, however - I prefer more realistic proportions and faces; I find my tastes have changed as I've gotten older. But with female sculpts I enjoy the whole gamut of shapes and sizes. While I still prefer realistic proportions on that end too, I find female YoSD or fantasy bjds so cute!
