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?

Feb 13, 2013

    1. My grail doll is Soom Sabik or male Dia...I have Soom Metato which is a smaller version of Soom Sabik/Dia and I love this sculpt so much!
       
    2. Currently my grail dolls are Soom Absynthe and Soom Haidi. I fell in love with both of them long after they were sold out from Soom. Hopefully someday I'll find them at a reasonable price somewhere...
       
    3. Hmmm. I don't know if I have a grail doll necessarily, but there are some that I know are probably way too expensive for me to ever have. Switch Milhwa and Volks Michele come to mind.
       
    4. My grail doll is a SOOM Nephelin. I don't know why but she's the only doll from SOOM I would ever consider buying as a full set, to me, she is still on of the most perfect dolls.
       
    5. I've had a couple grail dolls over the years and I've obtained all of them in some capacity. Mine was originally a Luts Delf Breakaway. the original 2005 release. I got him pretty early on. Then it was the Vampire Elf El which I got. and then the Soom Afi/Ai was my grail doll.... I have three of them now lol. And finally my latest grail doll was a Luts Delf Soony... I got her too lol. None of my grail dolls have been overly hard to obtain, just gotten VERY lucky with them all.
       
    6. When I got into the hobby, and found out about Minifees, Seorin became my first grail doll. I managed to acquire him back in 2009 and has been one of my biggest dolly loves <3

      Since then, I've also managed to add 'Volks Suiseiseki' to my list at my ultimate #1 grail doll, as well as Volks SD13 F-01, which I am actually buying via layaway at the moment ^o^ She'll be mine at the start of July~
      Then I've also recently fallen head-over-heels for Unoss, and as much as I try to deny it to myself, I am also madly in love with SDGR Lorina, which I would buy in a heart-beat if I had the money.

      Then of course, as of recently, Fairyland (one of my utmost favorite companies) has announced Tan, which is something I've been wanting for a long time, so even if they weren't a long-term grail doll, I find that I *must* get a tan Minifee Rheia, as well as a tan pukifee Ante. I would also love quite a few more tan fairyland dolls, but I don't want to break the bank. I am of course hoping they will frequently rerelease the tan skin, because I'd also love to have a tan Karsh minifee as well as a few others. Not to mention a few littlefees I've been pining over.
       
    7. My grail doll has always been Crobidoll Nao B Type. It was like love at first sight, seriously! He was the first doll I looked at and said 'I MUST HAVE HIM NO MATTER WHAT'. That was four years ago and I still don't have him but I'm hoping this September will be the time I've been waiting for for so long. :D Either him or another Crobidoll, I just love all of their dolls I want them all!
       
    8. EID Luo, but I threw him over for Rex.
       
    9. Supiadoll haeun and volks lieselotte in normal skin &#9829;
       
    10. Interpreting "grail doll" to mean the one I want most but don't have, it would have to be Volks Kurumi for me. She's on such a pedestal that I don't even know what I'd do if I did get her! Otherwise, I have two grail dolls (one that I mentioned earlier in this thread, at least) snuggled up next to me right now, my Volks Kurenai and Suzuna. Having grail dolls makes this hobby so engaging, but at the same time very frustrating.
       
    11. My grail doll was the Unoa Lusis, and she is my first and only doll right now. ^^ I got her as a hybrid, and I'd like to get her a different body someday (probably a MNF A-Line body). I haven't seen a bjd that I've loved as much as I love her. I am so happy to own her. :) I'm lucky, I've never really fallen for LE dolls (except for DC Ada, I want her so much :P). I really like SWITCH heads, but even they don't come close to my Unoa Lusis. I have many dolls on my wishlist, but Unoa Lusis is my favorite sculpt out of the ones I've seen so far. Maybe someday someone will replace her, but for now, she is my favorite. ^^ So I don't really have a grail doll that I'm searching for right now.
       
    12. My grail doll is Crobidoll Yeon-ho. He's the doll i've always admired. I've liked him for years and still don't have him. But I don't think he's too expensive. He's affordable if you save. I am hopefully getting him at the end of this year! :D
       
    13. My "grail" doll was always Shinydoll Feefee and I'm very lucky to have her by my side right now. :D She was one of the first BJDs I fell for immediately and she is one of my absolute favourites. I have so many other dolls on my wishlist right now so I'm not sure which one of these I would like to get the most, but I think it is a Volks Victorique. She is just so cute and perfect, I can't stand it! :lol::aheartbea
       
    14. My grail doll was pretty much my first doll. I waited five years for my DZ Yue, when I could justify the price AND actually have the money for him. As of now, though, my grail doll is probably the Iplehouse Felix that I'm hoping to save up for but won't be able to potentially purchase for quite a while. And sure, amazing LE's are always fun, but they tend to be passing whims for me (except for those different Egyptian theme dolls, I covet those in a 'I'm never going to get them way')
       
    15. My grail doll is Onyx. I'm saving up for her at the moment ^_^
       
    16. I did have my grail doll and some others from my TOP 10 favorite list.

      1. NS Vampire Gluino. (2013, Soon) &#8211; Yeah! I got it. :thumbup

      2. Huika (HZ) &#8211; The cute guy. :blush

      3. Infernale (IOS). &#8211; I lost it because of two miserable days waiting for the new credit card. Oh pain&#8230; MIMIMI. Bleeerg :...(
      [Edit: Infernale head found and bought. Dana just healed 50% of my sadness]

      4. Kagel (Soul Doll) &#8211; My love. :aheartbea

      5. Dark (5 Star) &#8211; The mage. :mwahaha

      6. Akasha (Impldoll). &#8211; The luck lady among handsome guys. *_*

      7. Kassia (D.I.M.) &#8211; The next item inside my card. :drool
      8. Amelia Leec. (Dollmore) &#8211; The future new woman in town. :hamster:

      9. Kyle (Soul Doll) &#8211; Lost forever. :...(

      10. Azera. (D.O.D.) &#8211; The easy pretty guy I still hope to buy in the end... :love
       
    17. I was lucky enough to get my grail girl, a luts delf soony. Since then i've fallen in love with Supia Lina and have started saving for her
       
    18. I have longed for a KID Lonnie from Iplehouse but now I want badly a boy doll either Eric or Felix from Iplehouse as well!!! and I dont know which other doll might want in the next minute!!!! I am so into Bjd dolls right now!!! I hope I can get them soon!!!
       
    19. I have 2 right now (I got my main Grail - Idealian 71 Hyperon!!!!)
      One is even on the MP but I have NOOOO funds for him - Souldoll Star Lee Jun Ki ~sigh~ He's too small (Jun Ki's 5'11" which in my dollie world translates to around 68 cm) but man! Looks JUST like him!

      The other is the new Volks Sakamoto Ryoma. ~sigh~ I'd also love Hijikata...

      My grail dolls are such because they are both somewhat hard to get and because they are expensive. So even when they do show up I often can't afford them.

      Thank the deities that Soom has layaway & reissued Hyperon cause he was the MAIN grail - Vampire Hunter D Yayyy!
       
    20. I have had two grail dolls since I started this hobby many years ago.

      Musedoll Ciel and Delf Soony.

      It's funny since my grail dolls are SD's and I'm a MSD type of gal. But they are the exception to everything. :)
