What is your favorite doll size and why

Jan 14, 2010

    1. I really like 1/8-1/4 size, but no bigger.

      I just really love dolls that are small enough to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand, there's something extra special about fitting so much detail into something that itty-bitty. Plus small is just inherently cute, I think. :D
       
    2. 1/4 size for sure, SD dolls are a bit too much for me at the moment and the 1/4 scale is the perfect size to still be able to easily make clothes and custom props for them before getting too tiny with the smaller sizes <3 Also the ability to handle them and have them sit in my hand and being able to transport them easier in groups for photos outdoors ^.^ I do admire many SD sculpts tho so maybe one day they will seem less intimidating!
       
    3. MSD or smaller alll the way.
      I like being able to comfortably cary my dolls and have more than one on a display shelf. a doll too big might freak me out at night too @_@ look over and think a toddler broke into my home. (Joooke)
       
    4. I love many sizes of doll but if I had to pick a favorite for fun and comfort and sheer play enjoyability, I do keep coming back to Littlefees.
       
    5. I prefere the 25-35 range (yosd?). I don't have much Space for anything in my apartment, plus they can share clothes with my Pullip/blythe and that makes It easier to dress them.
       
    6. When I started off I had to have the big dolls. I had a Mecha angel at one point (which was amazing) but I’m finding the biggest dolls hard to dress. As time has moved on I’m slowly moving away from the big ones. I have 3 that are in the 65-70 cm range then one SD size. Now I’m finding the MSD, especially the fashion sizes MSD. I also love the tiniest tinies the 1/12 sizes-realpuki ect but not the yosd sizes. I prefer these because they don’t take up a lot of room and are lighter. I also find the big dolls to be clunky, they tend to to knocked by my husband and then a finger or worse is broken.
       
    7. I love MSD sized dolls, because I find SD dolls too heavy to carry or pose. Also, I travel a lot so MSD are the ones that are not too much for me, yet fitting the aesthetic that I want in my bjds. I have had usds, sds, and I think MSD is the right doll size for me.
       
    8. I only have one doll, so I don't have a point of comparison. But I most like 65-70 cm dolls, because in my opinion:

      1. it's easy for me to customize a bigger doll. For example, doing my doll's faceup was pretty easy because the area was pretty big. I'm not sure I'd be as good with tiny details of dolls with tiny faces, where I would have to use tiny paintbrushes. Also, I used my own earrings for his ears; if I had a really small doll, I couldn't really use human jewelry

      2. I tend to prefer the more mature-looking dolls, or at least, I wanted my first doll to be a mature-looking one over a child-looking one. And of course the bigger dolls tend to look more like adults than the small ones, which fits more for the characters I make for my dolls
       
    9. I have a MSD and SD but I prefer the size of the SD.
       
    10. I find that my tastes kind of "ebb and flow" between the various sizes. I started off with a good mix of SD and MSD, but then completely changed focus to Yo size or smaller. Then, a little later it was total love for SD and tiny size (think puki puki size) and I wasn't doing anything with my MSD or Yo dolls. However, over the past year I have found that my favorite size is now the Big Baby size! It's one of the great things about the hobby, as tastes change, there is still a gazillion types of dolls to fall in love with!
       
    11. I am in love with 42cm dolls, most of the time they look like children and I just appreciate how cute their eyes and face sculpts are!
       
    12. Weirdly enough I started the hobby wanting MSDs but then my first purchase, and consequently my second are tinies and I'm only thinking of getting an msd now. I have loads of clothes for her though, so I don't want them to go to waste haha
       
    13. Physical size doesn't matter as much to me as what I can get for them, clothing and wig wise. 70cm is too tall for me, personally. Kinda prefer the more compact size of MSD but SD tends to have more options, style wise, especially when your doll character is mature and not a kid lol.
       
    14. hey i was wondering what is everyone's favourite sized dolls? personally i love the 40cm-70cm dolls as they are large enough to make all sorts of clothes for but small enough so they arnt compleaty in the way :)
       
    15. 55 to 60cm! I love SD dolls. I'm venturing into 70cm, but I'm not sure which I'll like better. I like SD dolls because MSD feel too small to me. I just like big heads, haha.

    16. I've never actually seen an SD irl, so I can't really judge those. I like my MSD and my tiny for different reasons. Simone is easier to make clothes for and feels more substantial to cuddle. Zea is super portable, I could take her almost anywhere I wanted (that was safe for her).
       
    17. My collection is pretty diverse but Id have to say any size of SD, for me. When I look for new dolls on sites i generally look for bigger ones but when i get my smaller ones i generally look for whatever is cute and secondhand :XD:
       
    18. I've mostly bought SD sized dolls so far, but they're all bodiless at the moment so my only full doll is an MSD and he's my only doll of that size currently!
       
    19. Its
      Ive got two floating heads, too. Its hard to find a body without that beefcake aesthetic. Most of the bodies they make now are super ripped. Which i dont dont mind for my supernatural characters, buy my more feminine boys require something... different :XD:
