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.

Will you choose Chinese BJD company?

Jun 23, 2010

    1. How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company? My first doll was from a Chinese BJD company Asleep Eidolon, I love her, she is a fabulous doll and their sculpts are beautiful. My second doll was from Dollzone, he is also a awesome doll.
      Which Chinese BJD company you love most? I can't decide, both Dollzone and AE are really good companies, and tempt me to buy dolls all the time.
      When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most? Aesthetics, I look at the face sculpt and the body. If I like how they look I will consider buying the doll.
       
    2. My first chineese doll is a Resinsoul Mei. :D I am thinking of ordering from fantasydoll next if i can save the money!
      China is close but not close to Australia and thats one reason why i like dolls around the asia area than somewhere like the US or further away. (I have ordered dolls from the US before).
       
    3. When I read this question my first thought went to the question of human rights. But that is so complex and would be a hugely controversial topic. I have bought from many Chinese doll companies and I am very pleased with all my dolls. I correspond with people in China because of the dolls and to me that is fascinating. That I get to buy dolls from all over the world, including second-hand, is part of the adventure and fun for me. I love the personal contact. I know I have things made in China probably all over my house. But with dolls I feel much more connection to the individuals and I love that national boundaries can become very secondary.
       
    4. I would love to have a Resinsoul's Mei and I like some from 5Stardoll and Dollzone too, for example. And now I'm saving for a Dollzone 1/3 girl body.
       
    5. My first Chinese doll was from Resinsoul and although she isn't with me anymore her quality was very good for the price. The company is always a joy to work with.
      I believe Angel of Dream is also Chinese and I also have a doll from them. His posing is incredible!
       
    6. I just got a Resinsoul Body this week and I was very surprised about the good quality and the extra bag for this price ^_^
      The Body had not one Parting line on the whole body o.o . The only Downer is that the Body can't stand alone -_-
      So I think my Mind about Chinese company's had changed a lot since this week :)
       
    7. All of my dolls are from Chinese companies, I just realized - a Resinsoul Yao, a Doll-Love Alina and a Dollzone Tulip. I love them all for several reasons. All are fully sanded, beautifully sculpted and I've had no problems with them whatsoever. I hope to own several more lovely dolls from Dollzone and Resinsoul in the future. <3
       
    8. I own a Dollzone girl right now and am considering buying from more companies. I admit the prices are better but I feel like the sculpts are more interesting too. I am considering buying an Dragondoll Guan Yu and a Resinsoul Chun this year.
      I don't feel like the quality is up to Volks (especially with the full sets) but I feel like the quality is as high as the Korean companies. I also like how most of the dolls come sanded.
       
    9. Oh yes western countries can make bootlegs too. Not far from where i live there is a city famous for clothes bootlegs. So Bootlegs are made in all countries really.

      How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company?

      I love my Chinese dolls my first 3 are Chinese. If Resinsoul bring out the MSD dragon stuff i will also be buying a 4th Chinese doll this year too. I love my dolls as much as my Korean dolls too. And if i had to pick a fave it would be one of my Chinese doll. ^^;

      Which Chinese BJD company you love most?

      It's an easy choice for my because they are my all round fave company, but i love Resinsoul the most. I like fantasy dolls a lot and i love all the fantasy parts RS have to offer. And the resin colour options are amazing. I think the try really hard to improve all the time as well. Just before i bought my the company was told that people prefer dolls with S-hooks in the hands and feet. So they sorted it. Then people wanted a double jointed body, so they made one. They found out that body had a posing problem with the hip, so they fixed it. As well as all the choice the company has to offer they really care what the customers think and listen to the feedback a lot.

      It was also Resinsoul that got me into the hobby, because i saw their Mei and went "OMG that is my Drisimi!" who is a drow D&D character of mine. So she also needed the fantasy coloured skin which they offered.

      When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most?

      For me its the face that matters first, it has to really catch my eye. I want to limit the total dolls i get so the dolls i do get i have to love. Then the body if the body looks ugly then i don't tend to go for it. I don't like the idea of hybridizing because of resin differences so the body has to be good too.

      I would be too scared to buy a doll from a company that didn't have a good reputation either. And customer service and how much the company cares about the customers is important too.
       
    10. I have an AoD and soon betting a DZ, and both are very cute
      I dont think there have been any problems with them, as long as the face is cute and the resin is nice I would happily buy from any country :)
       
    11. I am planning to order from Dollstown.
       
    12. I don't own any BJDs from Chinese companies, but I'm planning on buying a Ringdoll (one of the male teens) somtime this year hopefully. I look for interesting facial features that make the doll stand out, and I think RD has pleanty of dolls that fall under that category.
       
    13. I have Ring Doll's Frankenstein on law-a way. i don't thing country matters, it's costumer service, and ease of transaction that gets my attention.
       
    14. My Doll, Arietta, came from Impldoll which is a Chinese Company. I absolutely love her, and I love them. They're very polite and quick to help and answer any questions that you have!
       
    15. -How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company?
      I would love to order from a Chinese BJD company. From all the dolls I've seen, they look to have good quality and the faces are beautiful.

      -Which Chinese BJD company you love most?
      From months of research, my favourite Chinese BJDs are from Doll-Zone and Dikadoll. They have dolls that are beautifully dress and the sculpts are interesting and different.

      -When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most?
      Most of the time I choose the face and if I don't like the body that the company offers, I'll look around for one I like better.
       
    16. My first BJD was Chinese - Sissy from Impldoll and I'm very happy with her. I bought her because I liked her face - which is also the answer to the third question: when I decide to buy a doll, first of all I have to like her sculpt (and also face up because I am terribly unskillful at painting the dolls' faces and prefer buying the dolls with face up). Another reason why I bought Sissy about 2 years ago was her price, she was cheap so I decided to "try" her and I don't regret. In fact, recently I ordered another doll from Impldoll (Aigne, I love her sad face). I also like dolls from Dollzone and Resinsoul but don't own any.
       
    17. -How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company?
      I would buy from a chinese company. I have dolls from both Dollzone and Bobobie and I like them very much

      -Which Chinese BJD company you love most?
      Resinsoul because of their choice in skincolors and their fantasy molds

      -When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most?
      The face and the shape of the body matter most to me when deciding to buy a doll.
       
    18. How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company?
      -I have a head of mr. Wolf from Another Secret company.
      Which Chinese BJD company you love most?
      - I don't know. I have only one "bjd" from China. But I like this one.
      When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most?
      -Of course face. I should feel that this face sould be touching for me.
       
    19. I love Angell Studio dolls, in fact, my first doll was an Angell Studio Leira. They were very kind and keep me informed of everything!!
      I have a specific character for anyone of my dolls, so I look for a sculp that looks like that character (sorry, bad english >x<)
       
    20. How many of you will take dolls from Chinese BJD company?
      2 of my 4 dolls are from Chinese BJD companies.
      Which Chinese BJD company you love most?
      I am pretty impressed with my Angell-Studio doll and I would consider buying from them again if they came out with another sculpt I like
      When you decide to take a doll, what's the point you care most?
      The face and body shape has to appeal to me.
