worst part of the sculpt?

My DOC kids have funky knees and elbows.. I don't like them at all. I'm learning to love them though!

 

my BF Niky's head. The jaw is kinda chubby and sometimes looks really odd in pictures if he doesn't have hair to cover the sides of his head.

Also, BJD arms. I don't know if it's just my doll, but his arms are so skinny and look unporportional to the rest of his body. Same goes for his skinny neck xP

 

DIM Minimee Boy body: I so totally agree with Quilibet and Aoyuki_Kitsune! My DIM Minimee boy body is so sway-backed; it's such a nuisance trying to get him to stand up straight! I also have to pop the torso forward, but it has an ugly habit of suddenly snapping back, flinging the wig, and pinching my fingers! Such a gorgeous body sculpt, but OUCH!

 

LOL this is a great topic..I learned some things I did not know about DOT bodies! I have a little DOC body and it's just a super little poser--I think Mekou strung it just right (I bought the body from her). My complaint is that it doen't really match the DollZone head that I have on it, but that isn't DOD's fault

Fantasy Doll bodies--yes, the girls sit in a most unladylike way, and the WS yellows like crazy if you don't spray it with UV cut. But I still love how smooth and heavy the resin is, and how nicely they are sanded. The arms will slap you, though, unless you loosen then a little.

And my biggest peeve? My inability to deal with the Domuya male flexi-body. I have accepted the fact that Ossian will always be a flexi-noodle, even with wire, sueding, and random bits of leather jammed into him. Of course he can do yoga poses, but standing is no good without a stand under his butt

 

I love my Lillith, I really do, but she's got some funky things going on... She's a Dollmore Suntan Asha.

Her butt is just a little big. It's cute, but a PITA to fit into clothes sometimes! And her legs have this *really* bad habit of turning themselves right around in the knee joint.

 

Same here! I only wish SoulDoll would release a 67cm+ version of their old body,
with all the joints of the new one! I love my Paris' abs, and sharp-mainly hips, but
he could use a heck of a lot more posing ability...but from their response to a
question of mine last time, I know that won't be happening. T________T;;;


- Enzyme ^.^

 

LOL I agree...my little Ani girl has "man hands" xD They are so big. In a way they are cute but also look like she's bloated or something...

On the opposite end, my girl with a tiny Fantasy Doll body...her fingers are way too long and skinny...it doesn't match the childish body at all. o.O

 

CP - I love their body-sculpts, but I hate their knees: I've got four CP boys, and only one of them can be trusted to stand up by himself. The others kick and buckle no matter how much I restring, suede or wire them... I really wish they had locking knees; it would make my life so much easier :/

DOD - This only applies to my Camine since I don't have experience of other DOTs or DOCs, but his eyewells are absolutely awful. They're unevenly sculpted, so if you put cheap non-paperweighted eyes in him he looks like a fish and even the high-quality urethane eyes I've got in him are very hard to position without making him look like this: The resin there is also very thick: if I didn't love his company faceup so much, I'd be very tempted to bevel it and try to thin it out some.

That said, I love my boys to bits ^^ They're perfect, even with all their flaws ^________^

 

My Camine's eyewells seem to be sculpted fine, but I have to agree with the eyes! For some reason, acrylic eyes just make Camines look haha.

 

DollGa girl bodies always sit extremely primly! Their knees automatically snap together when they're sitting down, haha! They're not the most athletic of posers, but it doesn't bother me much since the character is supposed to be quite quiet and gentle. And sits down a lot. (Handy!)

I do kinda wish her head wasn't quite so huge, though. Narrows down my choice of a boyfriend for her, haha! I adore the head aesthetically, but it's so large it should be commanding a couple of moons ... XD

 

Slightly OT, but you don't have to remove the faceup to bevel him. I sanded my Ducan's eyewells and the beveler never even got close to his eye makeup.

 

Reshana - Oh yes, I'm more concerned about damaging it somehow than removing it though: I'v bevelled one of my other guys' eyes before and the amount of resin-dust that came off him was amazing! I'm sure it's just me being overly-paranoid (I have a tendency to do that with my guys ^^; ) but I think I'll wait until there's no choice but to get him a new faceup and do it then. I'm glad your Ducan's faceup wasn't affected at all, though - that's something for me to think about!

 

Dollmore kids girl upper bodys. I know they are supposed to be kids but those little mosquito bites they call breasts drive me insane (she might as well be a KDM Boy). I wanted to switch hers out with a Minifee girls upper bod but my girl is so white the resin match is near impossible.

(I know this isnt an issue for most people. My problem is I love my LE KDM and just want her to grow up a little - at least Dollmore said they will consider making high heeled feet for her )

 

Please note, these are all sculpts that I generally find attractive.

DS Hound: I hate thier butts. I lovelovelove the sculpt, but they have the weirdest butts.

IH Girl Bodies: Thier collarbone/necks. They looks so tense. I love the IH bodies, but the girls necks make them look either really angry, or anorexic.

IH Soo Ri: Not so much the doll I dislike, as the fact that the Limited and gentle molds are similar, but the standard is basically a completely different doll! Wtf??

The new DOT Girl Body: The torso is freakishly long. If her bust was bigger, it might look propotionate, but it just seems off. Of course, the body looks like it'd pose like a dream.

SoulDoll Soo-hyun: Looks great looking down, but not so much in straight on pics. Of course, that could very well be the default face-up.

Delf El - His nose gets on my nerves at certain angles, namely straight on views. It's really, really petite.

Elfdoll June - Her lips are massive. I love them and all, but unless the faceup is good, they look botoxed as botox gets...Like my old Bio teacher.

Migidoll Miho - Didn't know until I got one, but they have the most annoying head caps. They are impossible to sand down for a smoother fit. >.< Why are they different from the Ryu's??

Fairyland FeePle Riff - Wish his lower lip was a bit thicker. Just the tiniest bit.

Angell-Studio Gavin - His eyes are really deep-set. Though, again, this could just be from the default face-up's shading. Also, the fangs. I hate doll fangs in general though. Most of my chars are vampires but thier fangs stay in thier mouth. (No offense meant to anyone who likes the fangs. Just my preference.)

Soom Mecha Angels - Proportions. I suck at them but if they're wrong, it annoys the heck out of me.

IH Barron - Something with the lips. I can't place it...

Leeke Boys - Loooooooonnnnnngggggg mouth.

Well, if it isn't obvious, I'm a bit OCD. But those are the things I dislike most.

 

I love Tender Shall's sculpt but for some reason her shoulder joints bugs me.....they remind me of Barbie shoulders
but if I ever get her she will wear tops/dresses that cover those joints until I can figure out a way to make them more to my liking

 

I hate hate haaaaate HATE with a passion the look of dual elbow joints.

GROWWWWL!

And hot dog fingers. You know, when you get a new body or all new doll. It's beautifully sculpted all over. And then it happens. You see! the long, lack of joint definition, hot dog fingers.



UGH!!!!

 

i've heard people say they dislike Ducan's big nose, but i personally ADORE big noses on men. i just love a big nose. it's like what they say about men with big feet. LOL

one thing i really dislike (and people will probably think i'm horrible for saying this) are Luts dolls. i really cannot see what people find attractive about them, especially chiwoo...or was is shiwoo? i have no idea. they look exactly the same to me. and i dislike their gargantuan eyes (i love that word lol) they remind me of fish. or something. i don't know.

i also dislike most volks sculpts. they just seem...tacky to me. and their website is impossible; it stresses me out if i try to browse on it.

i'm not saying this to be mean (and i know there are hell of a lot of volks and luts owners on this site) don't hit me! *sheilds self*

 

Delf EL - The body as a whole. It can't hold too many poses, and is difficult to make it stand. Besides, it is inapropiate for the character (but that's only personal taste).

Delf HARANG LE - Again, the body is a problem because of posability. I think it is even worse than my EL, who is a Type 1 (HARANG is a type 2). In this case, the sculpt is nice for the character.

SD13 Cristal LE - Probably the hands. They are pretty, but other brands have better looking hands. Maybe they are a little too chubby/childish for the type of body.

Unoa Qluts Boy L-Bi - Not a big trouble, but the fact that the limbs have to be glued on. I am a big fan of the Unoa sculpt, and besides this I see no flaws.

I am only poiting out things about the dolls I own, because I handle them every day and I think my opinion is not biased. I don't think I could throw a temper tantrum at something I do not own, only because I can't say I love/hate a part of the sculpt from the website or having seen it once.

 

I hate the fact that most of my dolls don't have the extra knee joints, so if I want a cutsey pose all the strings show through the knees. I am a little dismayed at the fact all of them (apart from my DS Saint) can't put their hands to their face (well, not close enough to actually touch anyway).

As the poster above said, I'm also not that into Volks BJD's- they're a little too doll like for me and also anthro's tend to make me feel a bit weird. I don't really like humanising 9is that a word? lol) and animal, giving it a human body and an animal head makes me feel strange inside; violated!!! I can't get my head around sexualising an animal.

But; these are all just my personal tastes.

 

I love my Unoa girls but I absolutely hate their elbows, inside and outside. I hate how they look, and I hate how they function! But other than that they're perfect!
