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 is your favorite doll size and why

Jan 14, 2010

    1. Definitely SDs, specifically 60cm ones. :D They are big enough that making them clothes isn't usually too finicky for machine sewing, yet they are small enough to not require insane amounts of fabric for the clothes. Also, to me they just feel the nicest to handle in general, I guess it's the "cuddliness" that MSDs and smaller seem to lack. The only downside of this size I can think of is that it's much more effort to take them outside to take pictures of them, especially if I don't have anyone with me to make sure the doll doesn't fall or something.

    2. SD's are my favourite. I think it's the right size for me...not too big unlike the 70cm dolls and not too small unlike the MSDs.
       
    3. SD's are my favorite right now, but I'd love to check out a Trinity. (about 105 cm or so)

    4. SDs, I think it's so cool when people hold their dolls by their torso and kinda struggle with the weight of Sd dolls. I also like the amount of detailing artists can make on them

    5. I only really own 1/4 now MSD size and I love this size. Maybe in the future I get a tinier doll or larger , but for now I love this size :D
       
    6. Msds are my favorite. I play with them and they are easy to dress. However, I also like sd10.
       
    7. I love SDs because they're so dramatic and detailed, but am quickly discovering that they're a struggle for storage. MSDs are a good compromise, I'm finding. They still have some presence, but they'll actually fit on a shelf.
       
    8. ~70cm+? Find myself more attracted to sculpts in that size range and appreciate the substance ahaゞ

    9. 1/3 scale dolls / SD are so easy to make clothes for and also have more realistic Sculpts, but 1/4 scale dolls / MSD are so convenient with their cheaper prices and that they take up less room. But I definitely like dolls that are in that scale the most. Smaller dolls are just too hard to work with, but I'd like to challenge myself by making stuff for them in the future.

    10. Obviously, tinies 15-16 cm :whee: They're cute, easy to carry around and you can get them all kinds of lovely Re-ments items.
      My daughter's got YOSD size, they're fine but for me it is really the tallest I could go for. I don't feel comfortable around tall dolls, though I find them beautifull.

    11. When I go through my dolls and count how much I have from any size, than I have to tell MSD. But I intend to bring smaller dolls with me when I travel.
       
    12. 1/3 and 70cm are my favorite size to sew for. And since sewing and crafting are my main loves, it is why my crew is mostly big. I also like the presence of a super big doll.

      I think 1/4 is the best size for playing because it is way easier to get 1/4 props and they are a little easier to stand in difficult positions since they are lighter. Also more companies have realistic and mature 1/4 dolls now. I think if I joined the hobby later, I would have more 1/4 dolls like Dollshe fashion and Iplehouse fashion. Or maybe I will start a realistic 1/4 crew when I have a different batch of characters to shell. Lol nothing stopping me but my wallet :chomp:

    13. Can I have two? I like my people dolls to be MSD, SD is too big to be practical for me and I don't like kid dolls which is what most tinies seem to be. But I adore tiny anthros, like pets and stuff. Perfect for a purse pocket!
       
    14. I like both SD and MSD. SD is my favorite to play with, but MSD is better for riding in my bag. I guess my favorite would then change on the situation.

    15. I can't talk about the physical aspect of it ((ugh I just want my first doll to arrive so bad send help)) but I tend to like YoSD sculpts more than SD/MSD ones.
       
    16. Xyzzy - Hope your doll comes soon!

    17. I prefer SD sized dolls because they are a breeze to sew for :XD: but I'm currently obsessing on my tiny AE doll (1/12th) as of the moment so maybe the balance is shifting a little :lol:

    18. SD and MSD, but when I have the chance, I pick SD for sure.

    19. I like tiny bjds (16 cm) I think they're easy to carry. :whee:
       
    20. I love my tiny, I really do, she's wonderful and can steal Barbie clothes. I can stick her in my school bag or jacket pocket and she barely gets a second glance. She poses spectacularly. She's easy to sew for. BUT!

      I prefer the size of my MSD girls. They're a little trickier to sew for because they do need stuff fitted specifically to them, one of them is a posing nightmare, and while I have a tote bag they can ride in, it's always something of an Event to take them out and about. But they just seem the perfect size! They're big enough I can appreciate the fine details (eyelashes, gorgeous sparkly eyes, wigs, etc) without being too big. I've seen a few SDs in person and while I love the look of some SD sized dolls, I don't think I'd want to own one. They seem massive after the dolls I've been around my whole life. Plus I do a lot of hand sewing so it seems like making anything for one of the big dolls would take me weeks!
