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. With only a few made I will never have one but I love to see pictures of Nettle. I can at least look at her pictures... sigh...

    2. My ultimate grail doll is Unoa Lusis. She was the doll that drew me into the hobby. I've been eyeing her since high school (2000-2004).
       
    3. I did not think I would end up with a true grail doll... and now I have, and it is one that is going to very hard to obtain. A friend pointed out to me that the LUTS Uriel head (either one) was perfect for a character I want to shell, and of course they were limited and are going for a good chunk of change. I am going to have to pinch my pennies...
       
    4. The Volks abjds are most of the grail dolls that I have on my list. There are some Iplehouse dolls on there too. That is the thing, the list of grail dolls never seem to go away for me but gets longer instead... @~@
       
    5. OK! You got money to buy your grail doll. Just one. Which one would it be?

      Mine would be Iplehouse Audrey. I've wanted her since she first came out. Obsessed with her.
       
    6. My grail doll is SD13B Cecile from Volks. He is absolutely adorable! I love him insanely! I have seen him in person a few times but I hope one day I can bring him home as well :D
       
    7. My grails are divided into two conditions:

      Unattainable because of the price: Volks Masha
      A hard-to-get in the market: Yo-SD Ryo
       
    8. Either IOS Infernale or Iplehouse Victor (The Addiction). I've kind of got them both as "just look from afar on the internet" rather than actively on my wishlist, though. It's not a burning need for them, and I may be content to just look at their pictures. I think they're grail dolls for me only because I probably won't get them, either because I'm not going to actively seek them out secondhand or because there are other dolls I'd probably rather have in my collection for their prices. It wouldn't really be a grail doll if I could actually have it, right? o 3o
       
    9. Don't think I have a grail doll yet. So far I'm really only collecting IH EID's to represent characters in my novels and IH hasn't come out with sculpts to fit all of them yet. So maybe my grail doll is one that doesn't even exist at this time. *_*
       
    10. For now my grail doll is Bluefairy Kyle baked skin (but that might change). I recently fall in love with him but I don't even know how hard he is to get... I just think it's annoying I can't get him right now :D
       
    11. Okay, certainly cannot pick one grail doll; however, top of the list would be: Souldoll Tarot series Empress Kayla, Volks Lorina, Volks Ami Ayasi Tokyo Version to name just three. I have seen the Empress Kayla on the secondary market but she was not complete; it seems that whenever, if ever, Lorina comes up for adoption, she is gone in seconds...
       
    12. My grail dolls would be Luts unicorn bory with full outfit and Volks SD Hijikata. That face is just so amazing.
       
    13. Since I've obtained one of my grail dolls last year, I'm dreaming now to get a DD Aoko Aozaki head. Something's about her that's always pulling me back to her when I've told myself she's too expensive and I don't need her xD
       
    14. Hmm, Luts KDF Ani elf version was my grail doll that I was pining over for years, I discovered her after she's been already sold out for a while.
      Then a fabulous person here on DoA sold her to me and it's been love ever since.
      The one other "unattainable" grail doll I've been loving from afar has always been Volks Captain Cecil, black sea version...
      But 1K+ is just not an option currently. Maybe one day.
       
    15. It seems everyone's grail doll is expensive or an LE. Is yours? Is yours a more affordable doll? Do you have your grail doll, what do you think of him/her now?

      My grail doll is a Sooms Mylo. She is a LE but even on the 2nd hand market she is still affordable. The biggest challenge is finding her! hahaa.
      I am still in love with her! <3
       
    16. I'm not sure I know anymore....xD there's a number of dolls I want, although I don't think I want one more than any other.

      Although, as for hard to find sculpts, I'd have to say the most elusive doll I want is Suigintou. Nothing to do with the anime, I just really love her sculpt! It's very unique!
       
    17. My grail doll is SQ Lab Tachibana, I would love to have her as an anime-eyed super-kind dolly at home! :D
      Hopefully next year I'll be able to bring her home...
       
    18. I actually just got my grail doll, though it was a journey! I fell in love with the Doll Leaves Vanesa, but she was a little pricey for me, so I didn't get her when I started collecting...The DoA marketplace proved to be my salvation, because I bought a second-hand Vanesa head that was perfect (and I promptly sent her away to be re-faceup'ed...) and then I put a notice on the splits board for anyone who wanted just a head, and within 2 days an awesome woman contacted me and said she was just about to list her SD DS body, and would I like it? And so I got my doll for a discounted price and it was totally awesome. :-)

      Ugh, I love him.

      My Yui is, in my opinion, the perfect little girl doll for me, so it's very nice to know I already own one of my two grails. c:
