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. My grail is Sionna Fomhar currently. I have always been obsessed with foxes and at the time she was released I had an interest in pagan symbols. She also looks a lot like my daughter in the face and has red hair like my daughter too.
       
    2. I started with aan idea to buy what i like, but after a short while and when your knowledge
      Gets better, your taste changes...
      At first i never wanted a minifee..but that changed, i got a flam head, so beautifull...
      And then on pics i have seen it, a momonita....small, perfect...
      I am waiting for her now...
       
    3. I should have ordered them when I had the chance. I would love to find a Fairyland Toki and Titi in their steampunk fullsets. Those are my grails....
       
    4. After finally getting my one off SD, Im looking at the miku from volks
       
    5. Def 5th Motif Venitu :) which i thought id never have a chance to get :D but they re-released him again and im just so happy and thankful that i did not need to spend more that 1.5k for him. Cuz 2nd hand ones are out of my budget before :(
       
    6. My grail doll is Iplehouse Grace elf. Just perfect to shell my character but discovered her a month after she was done. Would do anything to get her but few on the market.
       
    7. My feeple60 Rin has the same name as me. Rin has been my nickname since I was a kid! I couldn't resist when I found her!
       
    8. there's a lot of grail i want. one of them is soom hyperon which i managed to get it
       
    9. My grail doll is the Narae N412 sculpt I have been mooning over that sculpt for years now. I just think her face is so lively yet versatile so--- magical! :love

      Hope I get her soon though :atremblin
       
    10. My grail is Merrydollround Merry she’s my grail because she’s harder to get out of all my all time favourite sculpts
       
    11. I'm like 90% sure you can order her through Doll Choice during the first half of each month. I don't look at the big girls often, but I'm pretty sure Grace Elf is available. The catch is that Doll Choice doesn't have a Layaway option. :(

    12. @AndromedaDevil and I have the same grail :chibi

      But I'm not interested in the body, I really really want the soom cheshire surprised ver head to make a fox goddess with <3 that cheeky expression and the little tooth just melt me every time I see it <3 So much more expressive than any other dolls I have that have that typical neutral/cute expression, the surprised ver just screams its up to no good :love
       
    13. My grail doll that I thought I'd never have a CHANCE of ever getting was Doll Chateau Carol... I've loved her since before I even really knew what bjds were. She's just so strange, with sort of an adorable but haunting face that's unlike any other doll I've ever seen. Astoundingly, though, I recently bought her and now it's just a waiting game until she's in my hands.

      I only have one doll left on my wishlist for now, DC Jodie, so I guess he's next? I love his strange anatomy. He's actually one of the cheapest and most easily available dolls I've had on my wishlist, but I decided to wait on buying him just to pace myself. So I don't really feel like he's a "grail" in the classic sense...
       
    14. I own my grail dolls now (ok, except Leonard - if Iplehouse just sold heads I'd have him too). They were my grails because they were hard to get.
      My 72 Idealian, Hyperion, had been a limited doll & I missed ordering him. Love him cause Vampire Hunter D :d I managed to get him during a Soom special event, got him in Bronze skin which is AWESOME :D
      My Volks Ryoma Sakamoto - I wanted a Volks SD17 boy for a while (thought Hijikata would be the one) but then Ryoma came out. I tried that stupid lottery thing, didn't get it, but then somebody immediately (like within a month) offered him for sale in toto, for about the same price. I even got to do a layaway! I love his little smirky face, and I do like the weight & quality of Volks resin. They pose so well, I think.
      IH Leonard (whom I don't have) - he's basically a mini-me of Aiden Turner. What can I say? Gorgeous. But I've 2 EID boys already (one model, one superhero) & don't want another. Maybe, just maybe, I'll spring for an HID w/a Leonard head. But probably not. So he's just not a practical choice for me. However, I still haunt the MP LOL Silly me.
       
    15. My Grail is Switch Ajeong. I just fell in love with his really unique and delicate features. Unfortunately it's not a sculpt that I've seen a lot of, so I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to find it.
       
    16. I don’t have grails per say as I find my tastes change so sometimes I’m like GRAIL and then after awhile I don’t see it as a grail anymore.

      HOWEVER one tiny I’ve always wanted but the cost of her always got me and now she’s not made anymore :( a DD Anne lotus near.
       
    17. I think I own almost all of my grails (a Souloid, a seahorse/mermaid, a four-armed girl), all I need is that Iplehouse Cordelia. *panic*

      The rest is just FINISHING my grails. So I guess my grails aren’t almost obtained... still need an Aehael head for the Souloid, Minifee wings for another...

      This comment went downhill as I was typing it. :sweat
       
    18. My grail is DoD Petsha full set, I was really obsesed with her when I was younger, I still have a lot of pictures saved in my computer from 2006/7 or so. But my ex HATED bjd so much I couldn't even talk about them.

      I'm planning on getting one (Petsha) after I buy a new computer :eusa_pray
       
    19. My grail is the Dream of Doll Elf Ducan, I just love his ears and the shape of his face.. it is so soft and elegant!
       
    20. My grail doll is my grail because the second I saw the Merrydollround Merry sculpt I fell head over heels never thought I get one after I found out she was limited and discontinued never thought I’d own 2 I also got my best friend obsessed with the sculpt too leading to the long hunt and managing to hunt out 2 more I am a merry magnet lol
