What you look for in Male dolls

As for bodies I always look for skinny ones, I don't like super beefed up bodies. It is hard to find a doll body without abs so I don't really mind them. For the face I don't like it when they have really hard jaw lines and look really masculine or small eyes. Besides that I like a lot of faces. I also prefer male dolls for some reason. I only want one or two female dolls compared to about six different male dolls.

 

Thinking about the male dolls I've owned in the past, I definitely chose androgynous-looking or soft-looking male dolls. Larger eyes, rounder face, less muscle (but I don't like skinny dolls either). I think it is very influenced by the sorts of male anime/manga characters (and the types of anime/manga) I like, and I started the hobby with younger-looking mini sized dolls...I think I was never able to accept a transition to the more realistic/muscular/very masculine dolls.

 

I love bigger noses and lips. Smaller eyes. That basically describes the Migidoll Ell; thus why he was/is my grail boy!

 

Realistic adult masculine faces are what I look for. Strong features, especially jaws and sharp cheek bones, with eyes in correct proportion. Can you say, " Iplehouse"?

I would love to find a company that does wide shouldered but slim hipped bodies to go with my male Iplehouse heads. EID and HID bodies are way overly muscular for my taste. I also definitely prefer male dolls with light brown skin. The pale ones look so ghostly.

 

I've discovered I tend to look at the nose first, because I don't always like how the nose fits with the rest of the facial features. In general, though, I prefer the more brooding, sad, feminine facial features. I have found a few dolls with really masculine features that I'd love to have, but it isn't usually my preference. I will say that I don't usually go for overly large eyes.

For the body, I don't usually go with the most muscular option or the least, but somewhere in between. When I do find myself interested in a muscular body, it usually does have the tanned skin. However, I'm not necessarily a huge fan of tanned skin. I usually like them pale without being ghostly. Like rosalynmouse said above, sometimes the pale ones really do look ghostly, and that can be a problem for me just as easily as tanned skin.

Basically I'm picky, apparently.

 

What I look for in a male boy, is how mature his face looks in company photo's, also height, I like the boy taller then the girl ratio. maybe its just me who likes that. I must admit I love the muscular bodies, but not too buff. Thats really it.

 

I look for ones that are mostly masculine but with an air of youth/innocence to them. OR masculine/arrogant-looking ones with a touch of femininity, like a slightly narrower face and heavy eyelids. Apparently that's not a super popular combo because I only know of 2-3 male dolls I'd like to own. There is a 3D sculptor on deviantart who made the most beautiful BJD boy I've ever seen, like he's masculine enough that you can't mistake him for a girl but he still has a boyish nose and wide-open eyes. She said she was thinking of having him printed and cast and I keep checking back, but... nothing

For bodies I just like proportional bodies. Shoulders and neck broad enough to look normal with a male head, but no like, tree-trunks anything. Dollstown 18-year-old boy is probably my perfect male body.

 

For me, I'm looking for versatile sculpts I mainly have an all boys crew. It's a plus point if the doll can look cute and fierce at the same time.

 

It depends for me, aesthetically, I'm drawn to more slender boy bodies, but it depends on the character I'm shelling. Many of my boys have pretty faces so that's generally what I look for right now. Cute and soft for one may not be what I'm looking at for another.
That being said, I'm absolutely smitten with Simply Divine heads, those are some gorgeous boy faces!

 

My first doll is rather slender and his face is adrogynous pretty. He's probably around 21 years old as a human. I love him but I really like men men. My two dolls on order are beautiful but unmistakably men with athletic bodies, deep chests, and angular features. I plan to make them appear to be in their late 20s, early 30s.

 

Squidgy mouths, arrogant or tearful eyes, and really really no awful hyper musculature anywhere, oh my god. It is so hard to find a nice smooth boy these days!! And where are the fat ones? No chubby boys anywhere! Sigh.

 

I basically go for the anime or fantasy look. I only have one male MSD and three male Obitsu dolls. That's out of my collection as a whole. The rest are all girls... I'm very particular about my guys.. It tends to be really what looks "right" and if they'll fit in amongst Resinsoul/Large Obitsu/Angelregion since that's what my main three MSD's are so if they can fit in with them... Awesome.

If not I'll pass. Gladly.

 

I like different types: skinny and muscular, androgynous and masculine, stylized and realistic. It all depends on the specific concept.

 

Depends on my character. For my elven make Faelyn he needed a body that wasn't too muscular or defined. His chosen scpult is resinsoul Song. But for my dragon character Ryuuga he needs a more defined body so I'm still deciding for him but I think I have it down. I don't like my dolls to have a...*ahem* huge "package" makes it hard to find pants that hide that.

 

I love male dolls! My first bjd was male. But they run the whole gamut from cute and micro-tiny and fantasy or anthro to big and tall and masculine, and everything in-between. I have girls, too, but far fewer...

Girl or boy, it's the sculpt that appeals to me. That includes every aspect, eyes, nose, horns or not, pointy ears or not, animal or not, realistic or fantasy or anime/manga or not!

 

Honestly, while most of my dolls are boys, I'm still looking for the perfect boy. I want a really skinny, but still extremely masculine boy. Like ribs showing with broad shoulders and tiny thighs and veiny hands, what have you. Oh, and it all has to be MSD sized

 

I wish there were chubby boys too :'( the closest I've been able to find has been dollzone 1/4 bodies, but they still have ribs and hipbones, just extra hip padding

 

I think about it a lot - it can't be a dichotomy of the softness and motility of flesh versus the hardness and immobility of resin, because people make giganticly muscled bodies with no problem... and it can't therefore be an issue of material cost either. I just don't understand, on a basic level, why anyone wouldn't find fat bodies really gorgeous. This perhaps isn't the thread for this discussion, but suffice to say, I want chubby boys and damnit, I will make one if I must!

 

It honestly depends on the character that I'm trying to shell.

As weird as it sounds, a main point that I look for are sculpted tear-ducts.

 

So years ago I'd say it was the minifee a-line muscular body....

But!!!

I bought that. Fricken hated it!!! To the point of I opened him, hated him, put him in his box and sold him in disgust! Lol

I just recently figured out I actually really really like non muscular male bodies. My newest obsession is a dollzone boy body. It's so stinkin gorgeous! I like the flat chest and slender bodies. I am also loving the new moe line boy body from fairyland. I like the hip joint not being jointed.
As for heads... I like the half closed eyes "the mystic" look.
I do like a more younger looking face as well... My favorites right now are woosoo vampire... FLAM head... Modded Mio head. I also like dollzone zo head and Benjamin head!
