What unique features of a doll do you adore?

i love monster like dolls that still retain a human look to them, things like multiple eyes,double or back to back heads,claws,fangs,tails,funky ears with intricate monster like detailed paint, dolls with well sculpted replaceable mouth pieces are nice too and not scene often

 

I like fantasy. Such as elven ears, animal legs, etc. They will have a different kind of beauty. Now, more and more types are coming.

 

LOVE a good strong nose. I really wish I could find a fashion-scale aquiline nose on a female sculpt, though-- liking prominent noses while collecting smaller dolls is not an easy niche, and Iple's FID line has spoiled me for the guys, but while I appreciate that the girls have some variety as well, I have such an ideal in mind for one character...

 

In sci-fi characters I need sci-fi elements. Like Caleb's cyborg arm and it's port on his chest. Or Ada's robot lines on her head and limbs.
I love elf ears, mermaid tails, fox ears, centaur bodies, vampire teeth (SO hard to find a good elegant vampire), clawed hands, and other fantasy elements.
For non-specialized characters, I needs PWETTY. Defined jaws, elegant noses, lidded eyes, etc.

 

I love it when dolls have more unique features like a wide nose, tooth gaps, big ears, and almond-shaped eyes. I'm usually not a huge fan of look a bit more like anime characters (they look really pretty they just aren't my thing) and I prefer more realistic sculpts. And all the tiny imperfections really add that extra bit of personality and realism to the sculpt.

 

For whatever reason, a wide nasal bridge. It makes them look a touch fae and cat-like. In general I prefer dolls not to look too much human.

 

I really love sleeping heads and partially closed eyelid heads. Pictures can only do so much justice but after seeing my Miwa's sleeping face in real life, I'm blown away by how different a sleeping head makes a doll look and how it adds a peaceful and yet graceful quality to the doll.

 

I love when child dolls have expressive faces.

 

Cute lips that is slightly ajar, cute pointy nose, those tiny teeth showing. Ughhh theyre so adorable. Having pouts too

 

I really love fantasy elements in my dolls. So while I love the big extravagant elements like wings or animal legs and tails, centaurs, etc, I REALLY love when a sculpt has pointed ears. Especially if they aren't just standard smooth elf ears.

 

Lately I seem to be drawn to wings. Particularly feathered wings, but also leathery, bat-like wings, which make me want to put together a Geryon (ala Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red) doll. What can I say, I love beautiful, vulnerable monsters.

 

Fantasy feet - especially hooves. Vampire teeth. Elf ears, especially if they're more elaborate than just 'pointy'.
I like optional magnetic ears where you have a choice between human and fantasy. I do like the look of wings, but many wings are problematic - they fall of, break, get lost, don't fit trough clothing, etc.

I think if I had to chose only one, though, I'd go for hooves or claws. Just to save me the annoyance of having to buy shoes that fit.

 

I just got a Resinsoul Xun secondhand a few weeks ago, and she came with these transparent forearms that I absolutely adore. It’s made me develop a love for dolls with transparent parts!

Unfortunately, I heard that they don’t sell Xun with her transparent arms anymore, which is too bad But it’s also possible that it’s just a rumor — I can’t say for sure!

 

I love my dolly's boney tones and fingers lol.

 

Elf ears, slightly fuller lips are PLUSES for me!

 

I've noticed I much prefer dolls with graceful hands and slim wrists & ankles. Lately I've been loving dolls with very rounded facial features.

 

As a default, pointy ears and teeth! I adore vampire dolls with subtle teeth, I'm not too fond of the larger teeth; but the small ones are so adorable! Elf ears are also one of my favorites, any type of those will do but something about the big droopy ears just makes me melt.

As a lesser common thing, I do really like clawed hands (monster claws), and unicorn horns. I'm not all that into centaurs, mermaids and the more fantastical creatures though. I love when companies can come out with really off the wall ideas and make it their own!

 

I like dolls with long-ish noses that don't show too much nostril, and short-ish philtrums (the space between the nose and upper lip). Not all of my dolls have those features, but they definitely draw me more to a sculpt.

 

Eye and nose shapes. The nose, in particular, can be such a unique form on the doll's face.

Or pronounced cheekbones. Because a lot of the dolls are more rounded and immature, defined facial structures just don't seem that beloved by sculptors or hobbyists alike. They do seem to be coming into the hobby more now, but back in my early days they were few and far between.

 

I like cute, rounded button noses, chubby cheeks, and little bitty mouths on my YOSD and under dolls. Something I always am interested in are happy looking or smiling dolls!
