What is your favorite doll size and why - Part 2

Msd are my favorite it use to be sd but I have very limited space in my room and they take up a lot of room. It’s also just easier to handle and take them out

 

SD10/SD13 is definitely my favourite, specifically more immature 1/3 scale dolls. In general I prefer 1/3 size. I also like SDM size and chubby MSD.

 

1/3. Not too heavy or small for me

 

I prefer the MSD size because it is more convenient and easier to handle. Although my favorite dolls are SD (AIL alice, chloe and dollmore mio)

 

I only got 75boys and 68boys, I love 75 but I prefer 68 more than 75. Cause it’s lighter than 75 and got more choices for clothes. Yeah, and better mobility.

 

I wrote an answer back in the original thread! (now archived)

I much prefer 1/3s in the 58-65cm range. I love their weight, presence and their age aesthetic, but they aren't unwieldy (and heavy) like the 70+cm ones. There is something to be said about the lightness and compactness of minis, but I started the hobby buying 60cm dolls and had already gotten used to that size, so the minis were just too small for me.

10 years later I still feel the same - 58-65cm is such a sweet spot, although I'm open to taller dolls up to 70cm. I guess I've settled in the hobby and am reluctant to embrace change now.

 

I tend to prefer 1/4th dolls especially slim minis! I'm disabled and can't handle bigger dolls

 

MSD, not too big, not too small.

 

My favorite dolls are all in the 58 to 63cm range. The original SD sizes. I own one girl who is 65cm and she just seems too big for me. I often fall in love with the face sculpt of a doll and then find out they are 70cm and taller, which spoils it for me, because I would never buy a doll that big.

My original crew were SDs and a couple of YOSDs which I considered the children of my SDs. But then in 2019 I got my first MSD, a Minifee Karsh, and during the pandemic lockdown I went a little crazy from boredom and bought several more minifees and other MSDs. I do love those dolls, but I can't fit them into the same stories as my SDs, so they occupy a universe all their own.

 

My favorite are MSD’s! I agree with many above who have mentioned that size feeling like a “sweet spot”. I’m in a small shared apartment so having larger dolls and not having anywhere to either store or display them would be difficult. MSD’s can easily live on a shelf without it feeling like too much.

 

I really like the 40-49 cm dolls because my first bjd falls in this category and her size feels perfect to me.

 

1/3, 60 to 72cm range, because of all the detail that can go into their clothing. I had to buy Japanese doll clothing books to learn how to make the 1/6 and 1/12 size range clothing. It's a whole different process. To my thinking, 1/3 is capable of carrying the weight of more fabric types.

 

1/6 the 26ish to 30ish cm range. I like them because they don't take up too much space but big enough to not be too hard to restring, dress, or change the eyes. Additionally I gravitate toward cute/unrealistic styles which seems to mesh well.

 

I like big girls! Currently, my largest is a 65 cm Impldoll, but I want bigger! Yes, a Dollmore Trinity is on the wish list..
I will say that 1/4 scale is easier to pose, but I just like the presence of big dolls, the space they take up, and their weight. Sure they're harder to carry around, but I still love them.
I envy all the boy doll collectors, with their 70-80 cm bodies. Where's my 75 cm girl?
Then again, my ultimate goal is to get a 1:1 scale doll, leave it in the living room, and let it scare the guests...

 

I like 75cm the most! Since i bought lots of clothes with this size
!

 

I like 1/6 size, within about 30ish cm range. I have very, VERY limited space so I just can't collect big dolls. I also collect fashion dolls so they just fit in better with my other dolls. I also only collect mature dolls so dressing them can be a bit of a challenge since most 1/6 clothes are for more child-like dolls

 

i love the weird in-between sizes of 53ish cm like Zaoll, Bimong Dandelion etc. i just wish it weren’t so hard to find clothes and accessories for them!

 

1/3. I like the mature look.

 

75cm males because uhmm... manly?
And girls in MSD because they i think they look cute at this size

 

Most of my dolls now are 70cm+ I used to have some smaller 60cm dolls when I was first in the hobby but I found I really like the 70 - 75cm size these days~
