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. I guess my definition of a grail doll is a bit different than that of the OP - it's more the nearly unreachable goal or unfindable find, rather than just a doll that I want really badly. So in that sense, I don't have a grail doll - eventually I suppose I can save and buy any of the wishes on my current wishlist. I don't pine after anything that is LE, discontinued or rare. But...I would love to own a Dollmore Trinity doll, just for she sheer massive resiny goodness of her. I mean, how awesome would it be to have a bjd in the large economy size?? But I can't quite justify the cost against the fact that I'd probably just stick her in a toddler chair, admire her and never touch her again. So as a wish that will probably never come true, I suppose she's sort of a grail of mine.

    4. Hmmm, I would have to say a Soom Epidos w/ original default face up. I have seen his head floating around the MP from time to time, but never with that factory face up I'm after. Oh well, LOL

    6. My grail doll is Iplehouse Benny, in ebony skin. I love her so much that I'm scared to even think of buying her. The idea that she turn up at my house and I somehow not completely adore her is terrifying!

    7. I'm not 100% sure since I don't know many companies and sculpts, but so far, I'd say it's Dollmores Ballet Kid Dolls. I badly want one of their ballet bodies, but with a different head... Still not 100% sure which one I want the most tho, haha.

    8. Soom Beryl and Vesuvia. Complete with all the fantasy parts available. All blank. To show up at my house on the same day so they can wreck havoc together in my sewing room. (That's where all my dolls live).

    9. My grail doll is a Volks Charlotte. I would love her in one of her fullsets but just her would be amazing.

    10. Doll Love Kaja. I havent bought him yet, but I picked out clothes and eyes and a wig for him (all in my bookmark toolbar) and when he's on Event Sale, the overall price is something like 230$, and regular price is 290$ (for the doll and the clothes eye and wig.) And of course Ringdoll Frankenstien, who is beautiful, but I didnt really fall for him as much as I did Kaja

    11. I've been in the hobby for a year and of course there's so many different dolls my grail doll list gets longer and longer and varies every month. I've discovered the Volks Kun a few weeks ago then to my dismay found out Volks discontinued her. Not to mention the price! I started off with Lati's so the price difference made me cringe. But alas I found one on Flickr second hand with a perfect faceup so I have her on layaway. She is definitely my grail doll.

    12. I had my grail doll as my first doll (Doll Chateau Stacy)
      However at the moment It would be Immortality of soul Hiro and Sweet Gale Cyril, in both cases I will need to hunt them down second hand which is fine...as long as someone will be willing to sell them to me xD

    13. For me a grail doll is one that I love but have to try really hard to get, but if I have it already it kind of ceases to be a grail doll. Except for Lieselotte perhaps, because I never fathomed that I could own her and luck tipped in my favor.

      I have two grail dolls at this point. The first is a green skin Soom Nodia, whom I have been searching for ever since she started shipping out. I have never seen a single one for sale. I know I will probably be able to get her in some other skin tone in a future free choice event, but I REALLY want the green one :/

      The other is the shadow skin Volks Shirou Tachibana, who released on the day of my wedding and therefore I couldn't try for him. Priorities and all that :D But honestly it would be a miracle if I ever got him--he was so super limited and goes for a fortune on Y!J. Maybe someday though!

    16. my grail doll is still the same, from the very begining - and i'm in the hobby for years - it's volks kurumi. i don't think i will ever get her, but i also don't think she will stop be my grail:)

    17. Currently my grail doll is a Volks SD Lorina, complete with outfit and wig *sighs*.

    18. Geez hmm, well, grail is some big word for me, which usually stays in my wish list. However, I will slowly try to slash out all the list one by one.

      Hmm safe to say, I wanted Volks DD Mito Mashiro.

      The price is crazy for awhile.

    19. Volks Full Choice System MSD F-13... with the dolphin ears :D

      After my first doll, she's next! Eeeeeeeee!

    20. I have few grail dolls though xP in yosd size they are Soom tan AI and Bygg/Beyla with fantasy parts. Girls in msd size, both in tan, belong to FairyLand Celine and Bluefairy Kyle. I know that my list is not so unattainable like others, but still it's a 'little' bit too expensive. Paying for a doll 400$ (or more), plus shipping costs (which are enormous to Poland) and excise, it can give 500-600$ in total.
