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 are: 1 Volks Lucas (have!) 2 Luts Soony 3 Dollshe Saint 4 Dollmore Lusion Dahlia (whom I'm sure I'll never have)


      Update: 6/20/2014 I now have Soony too!
       
    2. My grail doll is actually a basic doll that I'll be getting hopefully in a few months. An Iplehouse Rexy. c:
       
    3. I don't have a particular grail, more like I have an OC I need to find a doll to fill. For now I chose DC Ingemar and I currently have him on layaway ;v; <3
       
    4. I know I replied before, but I think I want to change my answer after reading all these replies that others have posted. Even if I do obtain my grail doll(s), I would not stop buying sculpts, for me, any sculpt that I fall in love with would be a grail since I'm a finicky person. Also now that I thought of it, SWITCH Hahwa isn't my only grail doll, there is also SWITCH Soseo, IOS Blood(Possibly, it might be a passing fancy), Crobidoll Working boss Laen, Luts Anette, Iplehouse Bianca, and gods know how many more. In a sense, nothing for me would permanently be a grail(Besides SWITCH Hahwa, and Esthy Peroth, goodness, how I love those two sculpts).
       
    5. I like this point of view. Answering this topic was really hard for me because like you said, any sculpt you love is like a grail. And if you love more than one sculpt why can't they all be your grail dolls?

      This is great input!
       
    6. I have two. One is a long-since-discontinued limited; one is a long-since-discontinued standard, so both of them will require some work to track down. The limited is Volks Shirou Tachibana. He's been my grail for YEARS, practically since I started this hobby. The other is a Dollshe Afghan. She's the one where it's gonna be a flippin' miracle if I can find one.
       
    7. The dll I always wanted to have and missed my chance on getting is souldoll chiron centaur. I so wanted to have him since I found him on the website and was happy he was not limited. So I started so safe money...and when I was almost finished...souldoll was not selling him anymore.
      It really got me sad and since then I am stalking the marketplace like a ghost...
      Guess I will never get my hand on one....
       
    8. My sister's grail doll is Luts Mia, but I have yet to find mine.
       
    9. Migidoll Miho and Iplehouse Boris are dolls I've been looking at since I heard of BJDs, although I doubt I'll ever be able to justify spending that much even if they are really stunning sculpts. Hopefully I'll be lucky and find a second hand one of those sculpts or something one day ^_^
       
    10. My grails are Migidoll Miho and Ryu, as they're the dolls that got me into the hobby in the first place. I've got the sleeping miho head, and I just need the open eyed head in order to completely have one of my grails. = v = Another grail is a Littlefee Bisou boy and Littlefee Leah, as both of them look exactly like my baby cousins.
       
    11. My grail doll was a Chicline Rou. I saw him a long time ago on Etsy and fell in love with him....only to discover he was discontinued. T_T This brought me great sadness, but it did not deter me. I kept a sharp eye on the marketplace, though he would always slip through my fingers.....However, finally as Lady Luck would have it, Fairyland did that brief sale back in September. So I took advantage of that and through much string pulling(and hair pulling) I managed to scrape the funds to get him. And now he sits arrogant and beautiful in my room. Though I admit, I don't play with him as much as my other boy...he's still very precious to me and I just love looking at him.
       
    12. I have a few grail dolls. The ones that I would classify as hard-to-find grails are Volks Lieselotte, Volks Lady Sylvie, Volks Victorique de Blos, and Volks Chii. (wow, and this is coming from a person who never really cared for Volks when I first saw them! :sweat)

      The dolls that I classify as grails because I just love their sculpts so much are Fairyland Feeple 60 Lishe, Volks SD Nana, Iplehouse YID Asa, and Pipos Cheshire. Actually, most of the dolls I want I classify as grails because I just love them so much and if I only had to choose a select amount, any one of those would make me really happy. Especially if I could get my hands on a Lishe or a Nana and a Pipos Cheshire.

      Grail clothes on the other hand are too many to list! Mostly the VolksxBaby collaboration sets though.
       
    13. I obtained my grail (delf If!), and I don't really have anything I'm completely lusting over right now. I'm sure that will change :)
       
    14. Soom Dia :'( one day, Soom, one day.

      Or any of the Switch dolls! I wish I had seen them last month or two months ago! I keep seeing they have a Taeheo head, don't do it! Hahwa is cool looking.. *drool*
       
    15. Oh my gosh. Mine is Soom Dia as well!!!

      Except I want a Dia Boy... something just so beautiful about Dia as a boy *shakes head*
       
    16. hmmmm
      i dont have a grail doll yet! I have a lot of dolls that i like the look of but nothing i'd call a "grail doll"
       
    17. I've always loved the Elf-El model. It feels very different from the regular El. Somehow more magical.
       
    18. Volks Dollfie Dream Saber Alter. She is gorgeous girl who looks great no matter which wig or clothes she's wearing.
       
    19. I have two grail dolls Souldoll Souloid Rachel and Sleeping Rachel. I guess they're kinda expensive but when you put them together you quickly find out that they are.... Sadly since I already ordered a different expensive doll there's no way I can afford one of them right now.... But I still don't regret ordering my Isaac! :kitty2
       
    20. Dollzone Hid. It's no surprise therefor that it was my first doll too. I'm glad my favorite wasn't a limited.
