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.

Who is your dream doll?

Dec 7, 2016

    1. D.O.D Luke Black

      He is a one off model many yearsssss ago at a Hong Kong doll event I think. There’s only one of him in this entire world and company is no longer in business so if money wasn’t an issue, I’d offer like whatever the owner is willing to sell him for lmao but the owner is probably rich and don’t need any money because this was an auction model. I can’t even remember how much the original owner bought him for, but it was probably like more than a couple thousand USD. Maybe even more than 10-20 grand USD... it was too long ago that I can’t even remember anymore
       
    2. I'm in the hobby since I was 13. I've had 7 dolls so far, but now I have only one left, my grail doll I bought back in 2014 for more than a thousand usd.
      It's just... I would love to have a lot of em, but I love my dolls fully stylized - or ready/prepared/characterized - what I should I even use?:lol: And I just can't devote enough time to perfect my dolls up. I never could. And I never became a proper faceup artist/doll photographer/community member for people in hobby to know me 'cause I, again, never could invest enough time and resources into the hobby.
      Eeek, I'm turning into a saddening bore again, sorry!
      There I have it, the doll of my dream, and that's enough for now. Alas, I continue to imagine new characters inside my head and to browse sites in order to make an other purchase... So I wouldn't be surprised if I find another Grail soon.
       
    3. Soom Idealian Gluino, white skin, vampire version. When I envision my absolute dream doll, he is the only sculpt I've seen so far that perfectly matches everything I have in mind. Of course he's sold out :'(
       
    4. For me it would be a Soom Petite Gem Julie. I missed her pre order and Soom hasn’t done a second one. The ones on the secondhand market have been well above my budget. But, if, I had unlimited funds...I could do a WTB thread and get one! My one hope is that Soom might do a re release.
       
    5. Ah, I'm really bad at picking just one...honestly, it'd be the entire set of Zuzu Delf Journey to the West-based dolls Luts put out a while ago. It's one of my favorite stories ever (I already have a few dolls based on it) and I've always regretted missing it.

      On the other hand, there's also this absolutely gorgeous Horus doll since I am also an Egyptian Mythology nerd - as much as I don't like big dolls, I might make an exception for him...

      And then again, I am also a big Disney nerd and if/when Volks ends up putting out a Jasmine or Elsa bjd it would probably change to that...there's just too many things I want *_*
       
    6. Mine is D-Lace Ex-Machina female.... :( I almost had her but my credit wouldn’t let me use foreign currency so I lost her.
       
    7. Maybe you could try buying through the Dolly Planet Taobao? It looks like they have her in stock?
       
    8. My dream doll is Alphonse from Gem of Doll..or Wei Wuxian from Ringdoll..but I guess they will never be mine :(

    9. My dream dolls are Napi Coral and Mia Soo. T_T

    11. My dream doll is a Volks Full Choice System SDM with the F-01 face mold. I've wanted that doll for 5+ years. Now I might be falling for the F-63 face too.
       
    12. Volks Okita...no idea how I'll EVER acquire him but I can dream.

      Though I suppose I should look on the positive side...my dream doll was once Soom Never Ending Dream Beryl and I was lucky to get both her full body, and another head, so dreams do come true! ;w;
       
    13. My fream doll is honey wing from dollzone
       
    14. I don't really have grail dolls per se, and I can't think of any that I don't currently have that I'm pining for. The closest I ever did have to a grail—I have him. He'd be my Dollshe King Corey, and it was love at first sight. He's amongst the top favorites in my crew.

      As for dream doll—this is going to be a very interesting answer to that question. I had a favorite OC of mine that I was having a terrible time finding the perfect shell for. I remember looking high and low, scouring every site imaginable in my search.

      Since getting back into this hobby and discovering certain companies, I knew at some point that I'd love to get a Ringdoll body and one of Granado's manly boys. In an odd twist of fate, and a bit of fortuitous trading—I managed to get my hands on both. So, in essence—my dream doll was a Granado Galileo (which I only realized once I had him in hand,; he had only been available through last year's lucky bag anniversary event at the time I got him) on a Ringdoll RGM-3 body. Best of both worlds in one bjd.

      The irony of it? It's kind of fitting the lyrics of this old Savage Garden song I adore—"I knew I loved you before I met you. I think I dreamed you into life." It's like I knew before I got him that he was going to be the perfect shell for my boy, like I'd dreamed up this combo before he even came into my life.

      Sometimes you've just gotta love irony:XD:.

    15. My grail that I feel like is obtainable is a Romantic Soom Dia. I think that the sculpt is beautiful and the sleepy eyes are just so dreamy! The grails I know will likely never be obtainable are Dream of Doll Elf Sleeping Pitts and Yen. They were the first dolls I ever saw back on a company website in 2007 when I first started to look at BJDs. I never got the chance to order them and am so sad that I never will be able to now.
       
    16. I've always had such a complicated relationship with my dream dolls, haha. From starting the hobby with my absolute dream doll and then falling so rapidly out of love with my second long-time grail I went through such a roller-coaster experience with it all I just lost motivation with the hobby entirely, until I managed to stumble across Sio2's Ragdoll, and more recently, Boudi doll through DoA! They've got such darling sculpts they managed to entirely rekindle my passion for future projects! I also really want a centaur doll, which is almost funny considering I am absolutely terrified of horses. I've learned not to get too invested in any one sculpt, though! Never know when I'll find another that suits my vision even better!
       
    17. I have quite a large list of dream dolls but I’ll just put the ones I have on my list for now

      Dollzone- honey, Mann, antu, milktea.

      Gem of doll/soom- melantha, yuka, opel, Roxen, Capricorn.

      fairland- littlefee little witch, minifee carol

      dearminedoll- Vivian, rose h

      souldoll- moa

      sio2- funan

      Dream valley- calle

      Dust of doll- coti

      Rap1993- anie
       
    18. I own her <3 she is a angell studio Hua Rong and I just go crazy for her, shes my fav. doll.
       
    19. I feel like I don't really have any dream doll. Each and every doll I have, have a special meaning to me. Maybe Dollmore Youth Eve Lilis Liv, she definitely could be close to a dream doll.
       
    20. Lisa or Lucy from DragonFly Work by Ana Salvador. They are so cute, but also kind of out of my price range. She said she might do a preorder for they in January, and I’m trying to decide if I should stretch for her or not.:eusa_pray
