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 grail doll, and why is it your grail?

Feb 3, 2015

    1. Volks Lorina u .u;;
      The shape of her eyes are specifically in my liking, big and sharp at the same time ugh! Her small and intricate nose and pouty-cat mouth! She looks like me when I was a kid and I want to cherish that! ugh -cries- I need her so bad
       
    2. I am in the very happy state of owning both of my grails. I like Iplehouse dolls best, and I have obtained both my LT Kamau and my peach gold Carina. They are just PRECISELY what I wanted. I was unemployed when I first fell in love with them, it took moving, finding a new job and saving money for several years before I obtained them. They do not make the original sculpt of Kamau any more, they reissued one they gave the same name, but it looks considerably softer, less masculine, less appealing to my eyes. So I am ECSTATIC that I got mine when I did.
       
    3. My grail is a Delf Angel Elf Soo. I have one floating head, and one complete doll on layaway. She's my grail because she's so ethereal and sweet. I love her default photo on the Luts site, and my goal is to recreate that photo before I de-yellow my floating head and get her a new face up. I love her default face up so much, that I'm going to get her new face up to be a modern trendy take on the original! (That's her in my avatar). No other doll calls to me the way she does. I cried when I opened her box. My second grail was a Delf Miyu, and I got one at the very beginning of 2015. She tugs on my heart strings too. I'm a big Delf enthusiast! All of my favorite sculpts are the big-eyed, older dolls like the CP Delfs and the early DollGa/Leeke sculpts.

    4. For me, My grail is a Resinsoul Feng. I fell in love with a similar sculpt that my friend had gotten (Long), and decided that Feng would be perfect for one of my favorite Original characters, Danny. I've wanted him for a good 5 years now at least, and have had several people promise to buy him for me, but never do. I can never seem to get up the funds to buy him, but at this rate I'd be willing to sell my 30+ monster high dolls and Bobobie Pandora just to have him. *Whines*
       
    5. My grail is Demiurge Dolls Hummer. Sid Vicious, that says it all.
       
    6. I say my grail is Dollfie Dream Mariko, but to be honest she basically stands for ALL THE DD's. As I still don't really know which one I want as they're soooooooo expensive and I know I will probably never get one. To be honest, my grail should be Akira as she was the one who I saw first and who made me fall for DD's (and she has such a cute face) but idk.......
       
    7. My grail is a Dearmine Loc ~Laberinth~. I discovered him quite recently but automatically fell in love. It's so sad I didn't discovered him when he was for sale, and he is so rarely seen second-hand...
       
    8. My grail is the vampire edition chloe by fairyland.
      Why? Because i love her better as a vampire and she would fit for a character i want to make.
       
    9. DollShe Saint is mine. I probably will never get him seeing as DollShe discontinued him (At least I think they did.) I just love the face and how grumpy he looks. He'd be perfect for a character of mine.
       
    10. A no longer available but oh if she was Dollzone Morphea
       
    11. My grail doll is Soom Phonolus with Soom Hyperon head. I love the Soom Phonolus body because I have a special place in my heart for wolves. I know his sculpt is supposed to be a tiger, but to me he would be my lovely wolf boy. However, I don't really like his face. But with Soom Hyperon, his face is incredibly handsome and embodies my male OC perfectly. Someday I hope to own him! :love
       
    12. Souldoll Iraki is my Grail Doll currently because his mechanical lower body is beautifully sculpted and unlike any other doll I've seen. He's not steampunk or just painted. He's a kinda futuristic cyborg, which is part of one of my stories (which he may or may not be apart of, idk). And even though I've really been wanting an SD, I keep ending up getting MSDs XD
       
    13. My grail is a Dolfie Dreams Mai Shiranui....I've always been fascinated with how over the top ridiculous she is as a video game character.
       
    14. My grail doll is a kaye wiggs hope and she is my grail because she looks a lot like my younger sister and I think she's super cute. Her sculpt is also pretty unique. Its hard to come by dolls with pudgy noses and big lips.

    15. My grail Doll is a Migidoll Jina.
      But Since i like msd dolls more it is just a Migidoll msd
      Because evertime i see a Jina or a mir or just a Migidoll
      I fall in love! They are for me true love
       
    16. My grails are Volks Shiratori and Kana Doll Adrian :D I love Shiratori because of her cute smile and big eyes, and Adrian for his mysterious look, and the shape of his lips and eyes. Another reason is that both of them are somewhat exclusive/hard to find, but not impossible by any means. So I can feel like I accomplished something if I get one, but I also have a fair chance of finding them xD
       
    17. I have two grails. Switch's Soseo in Mocha Brown and Soom's R.Amber.

      It was love at first sight with these boys. Not to mention that i already have characters based off on them...basically have everything for them.

      I just don't have them.

      I foolishily allowed their ordering periods to pass by instead of ordering them. It was either because money was tight or I simply convinced mtself with, "I'll get them next time they are released."

      Thing is, I'm really doubting their rerelease. Maybe in a few years, maybe.
       
    18. My grail is Dream of Doll's Rain. I love pretty much all of their dolls but Rain is my favorite because his face is so perfect and has such range. He has that slight smile that is kind of mischievous like he is up to something. He is trying to be polite when meeting someone but is really very awkward. I love that doll so much, and really like topics about grail dolls so I can talk about him more.
       
    19. My grail doll is Rosenlied's Holiday Child Mignon, it was love at first sight and I realised that every time I see a doll that I love on Instagram, it always turn out to be her in her various face-up styles. She reminds me of porcelain dolls and I love that her body is childlike. What is stopping me from getting her is her size, she is much bigger than I would like as I only collect up to 1/6 scale, plus I'm not sure how often they release her.
       
    20. I would have to say Dollshe Aramis and Ausley. I no longer collect SD sized dolls (I feel they are a little too big) but I would absolutely buy these two. Some day... :)
