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 unique features of a doll do you adore?

Sep 2, 2021

    1. Stylized body sculpts. Not too cartoony and not too realistic. The dolls I like in this style are still out of my budget but I love seeing pics from different owners.

    2. I really love broad noses. You don’t see them super often in the slim-mini size I collect, but when I do, it’s :D:D

    3. Cute dogpaws as hands. Like soom Feny and Necy. They are soooooo cute. Especially if they add the little 'beans' on the fingers and toes. Love it.

      I also have a doll body (Illusion Spirit 70cm) that is very detailled. And I mean very, very detailed. Muscles, veins, indents on the ribs, calves with veins, hand and feet with lots of details, ... I hate the body because it's big, heavy, hard to pose and I barely can make clothing fit him. But oh my, the realistic details are stunning!!! You don't see them much on dolls.

    4. I adore elf ears. It gives any sculpt a really sweet expression.
      I would also say bigger noses in dolls. It makes them look more natural and gives them personality. :)

    5. Bishounen. I love the pretty boys. Fantasy traits are also awesome. I just received my Loong Soul Black Dragon. He has wings, horns, tail, claws, the whole deal.

    6. I love big ears, especially fantasy ones but I wouldn't turn down some larger realistic ears either. This is especially true for younger looking dolls.
      I also love when a dolls bone structure is visible in a sculpt, spine, shoulder blades, hip bones, ribs, count me in please.

    7. Something I’ve noticed in my own collection is that I absolutely adore any odd fantasy bits added to otherwise normal dolls…horns, antlers, animal ears, wings, flower parts, twigs, leaves. It’s obviously all about the fairytale elements for me, and ordinary reality doesn’t stand a chance around here!;)

    8. I love fantasy dolls, the more unique the better. I'm pining for a centaur/unicorn, but it just hasn't happened yet. I'm waiting on my Miracle Doll Maoyou and I'm so excited for her. She's got such a unique face and I love how they sculpted her body!

    9. Open mouths with sharp teeth! I love smirks too, especially on boys! I also love any long ears that resemble a cow's ears, which is somewhat rare, lol :love

    10. open mouth with sharp teeth is EXACTLY what inspired the doll I'm sculpting. It's just so cute! I saw one doll with it and I just had to make my own
       
    11. Dolls that look grumpy or like they are pouting

    12. I'm especially drawn to natural smiles with teeth showing. I have a few of these. I also love my Angel of Dream Hui Xiang for her smile, but also her cute pregnant belly. I like anthros with magnetic critter ears, so they can point in different directions. On the other hand, sulky expressions can be fun too.

    13. I love things like siren ears and wing headparts! I'm still searching for some original wing headparts for my doll, but I think they look gorgeous. I was never so much a fan of horns but other kind of fantasy hear or ear parts are a really nice touch for me.

    14. I love super long, graceful fingers! Especially ones with sharp, sculpted nails on the ends. It's sad, because most of the ones I see are too stumpy/sausage-y for my liking. I have a thing for hands that look like they would shred somebody. My current favorites are the Souldoll Zenith girl hands

    15. I do actually love dolls with two pairs of eyes! Unfortunately, I haven't seen many human sculpts with this feature - only a few spider-like sculpts here and there :sweat

    16. Perhaps more specific than you were asking....but I have a doll that has the last vertebrae at the base of his neck sculpted. Just that little bump before his shoulders. Not to say that no other dolls have this, but I just find his particularly beautiful. It's honestly one of my favorite things about the doll. It has so much grace and character in that one little detail? A slender figure, his head slightly bowed. I adore it. :chocoheart

    17. I love thin and wide eyes for dolls. I like fantasy concepts such as wings, mermaids, dragons, or something antique. I especially like dolls with fangs and always make their concepts into dragons. Using multiple colours for their makeup or eyes is my best favour. :love

    18. I love....
      • Prominent cheekbones. A good, strong face with such features is highly enhanced by them. I especially love a good female sculpt with chiseled facial features in that aspect.
      • Longer faces with unique/prominent features. A nose with character, furrow to the brow, a strong or pointed chin—a good face has a personality to it.
      • Narrow eyes. Slanted, puckered in cheer, slyly attached to a smirk—the most attractive eyes are the ones that aren't large, doe-eyed and naive. Eyes with intelligence flickering within, a sense of experience—that's an attractive feature to me.
      • Faces with maturity. It ties in with a lot of the other aforementioned features. I'm not interested in naive, doe-eyed waifs—I much prefer some good, strong mature features that speak to living experience, a sense of confidence and power, or sassy seduction.
      • Elf ears. I'm a sucker for them. One portion of my crew is devoted to a particular story-line in a universe with humanoids with elfish ears. Even outside that though, I just love the whimsical, almost otherworldly effect of elvish ears in the variety that exist in the hobby.
      • Realistic bjd cats with extreme poseabilty. Points if they come with raven-eque wings. Bat wings are okay, but I'm enamored with the more delicate appeal of slender bird wings sprouting from the back of a feline form. Some day I hope to get my hands on just such a winged cat. :kitty2

    19. For me, it's something in the eyes that I would not know how to describe. I don't like them too big, but they just have a "feeling" to them, IDK.

      I also like good cheekbones!

    20. When it comes to what I really love in a doll,,, Teeth! Out of all the dolls I've seen, the ones that have teeth just have a special place in my heart.Vampire teeth especially !
