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. Mine's a limited Soom Marl. She's so cute and I have just the character in mind for her. I found one of her on the MP once but I wasn't able to do the layaway and missed out on her. I'm not sure I'll ever get one. :(
       
    2. If she's a Soom, they often do Free choice events so you can catch limited you didn't get earlier. They have a Little Gem one starting this month.
       
    3. I have three grail dolls haha. One is on layaway, and the other two I will have to search for.
      1st, Zombie Sol from Ringdoll will be on his way home when I make my last payment on layaway.
      2nd, Dollzone Violetta (sp?) Hallowmas edition from a few years ago.
      3rd, Dollshe Saint: one of the first ones, since the newer ones I have seen just don't look the same as the first few I saw :(
       
    4. I have had two grails dolls before. I got them both.
      ~ Volks Tsukasa
      ~ Luts Dreaming Vampire Elf EL.

      I consider a doll a grail doll when it's a) a Limited, b) HTF on the secondhand market and C) I've fallen in love with it.

      I paied so much for them both and I'm very sure that my next grail doll will be as hard to find....

      My next grail is Volks Genji....Head only. Ahhh~ I know that I'm going to be paying alot for this guy, but like my other grails before him, he will be worth every penny.
       
    5. My grails are Volks Lieselotte, Lorina and Williams... And Soom Beryl <3!!!!

      I have three out of four now... Heee! Just gotta find that elusive Williams... <3
       
    6. My grail doll is an Unoa L-bi. i just love his cute face!:D i hope i will get one in the future.
       
    7. Mine is Saber Lily Dollfie Dream by Volks.

      I already have Saber Extra (And Alter 2nd version on Layaway) but even so I still find myself dreaming about one day getting a Saber Lily.... and with how expensive she is I doubt I'll ever be able to afford her. >.>
       
    8. My grail doll was Iplehouse Carina. I purchased her already so I have my grail doll and yes she was expensive.
       
    9. Hmm, can't even narrow that down to one. So many dolls, so little everything else !!
       
    10. soom phonolus tawny human and beast version
      oasis doll jaidette
      and soom york

      i hope soom opens another FC event so i can get york. i don't know about phonolus. last one they did they didn't offer the human head T_T....and jaidette...oh well, she is a girl i'll have to hunt down in the second hand market.
       
    11. It's still a Dollshe Bermann for me. I'd especially love him in tan, but this is probably the one doll I will never own, as I will not pay that much for one doll. Luckily there's lots of lovely pictures of him, and my own collection to keep me distracted!
       
    12. Mine is an IoS Chaos... managed to miss him twice when he was released...
      The other is a Switch Seoha which I'm currently on the hunt for.

      My third grail was a Crobidoll DD Lance V.2 but I've already got my lovely Yui home~
       
    13. CP Delf Lishe all the way!!! I fell in love with her face/sculpt when I was introduce to BJD world but can't afford her and I'd moved on.
      Times passes, many others inexpensive BJDs she was soon forgette until I rediscover her again, felling in love with her all over again.
      This time around, paid too much for second hand but I've to have her!!! She is perfect with the face up I really really love. I love her
      more and more each day, I even fall in love with her Beauty white skin which has yellow slightly to creamy color, she is just drop dead gorgeous!!
      She looks beautiful in everything no matter what I've put on her.
       
    14. My grail dolls are: Soom Beryl, Ai/Afi, Amber, Sard, Luts Breakaway 2005 and El. Hmm or all my dolls? ^^
       
    15. Definitely Soom Idrial... her wings are gorgeous. ;; Sadly I think she'd probably be relatively hard to find.
       
    16. Volks Genji (Will never own due to cost.) I posted a want to buy for my Soom Covell and managed to get him! He was a grail. My first doll was an El, and he was a grail as I never thought I'd get enough cash to own a BJD! My Soom Skoll was a grail too, as I had him once after he was released then sold him. I missed his cute face and knew I was stupid to have sold him. (But he went to a friend so I could see him some.) But Soom did the event and I was able to order him again!
       
    17. I guess my grail doll right now is the Ringdoll Frankenstein. I doubt I'll ever be able to get him, though, so I'm kinda trying to get over him. Soooooooo pretty!
       
    18. My 1st grail was Unoa Marion sleeping and luckily I found her unmodded sleeping faceplate on the MP ^-^~

      The 2nd is DD Melty...we'll see how that hunt goes ;v;
       
    19. 1) Volks SD SWD Nana
      2)Volks SD Liz Boy
      3)Volks SD Miruku//Kurumi
       
    20. I'm using the term "grail" to mean either expensive or hard to find.

      Volks Reisner Desire for Revenge: I might could find him, but the price is so high that I think I'd be too worried about damaging him to enjoy him.
      Crobidoll Heart Queen Lance: It's a LE of 2, so I doubt I'll ever find him. I might could afford him.
      Rosenlied "The Ones": Too many to list! I probably could afford some of them, but the chances of finding them are terrible.
