worst part of the sculpt?

Aug 22, 2008

    1. prettyhatemachine - For luts, I used to agree with you. That was until I saw owner pics. The site pictures are hideous! :barf
      And I don't see the attraction to most Volks dolls. I love the Volks LE's and the molds with no actual name (like F-30), but the other Volks doll all look like frogs to me. I saw Volks' frog boy and thought it amusing that if not for the green in his facup or the webbing on his body, he'd look like all the others. :sweat

      No offense meant to anyone. And I will admit Volks does some of the best eyes around. ;)
       
    2. My Louise (Iplehouse Tania) just will not sit up straight! It's so annoying. I could put up with any other shortfall but not being able to sit upright is a no no.
       
    3. i love reading everyones comments, thank you for keeping such a nice discussion :D

      but i will ask everyone to please only post about dolls they own/owned/are about to own ( ;)), i am fine with everyones opinions, but i don't want feelings hurt, thank you for understanding :abow:

      i finally got my mill :kitty2, the U elbows aren't as bad in person, but the joint keeps on locking the way it's not supposed to, the resin is so thin on the double joint i'm worried i might brake it *_*
       
    4. For people who think Hound butt is weird, try Soom Super Gem....

      My Dislikes:

      CP Soony: I've had my big girl for three years and I love her body. She is good at posing but, I hate her 20mm eyes. On the site she looks pretty but it is hard to position these huge eyes so they look good. If you are even a weeny bit off, they look BAD. I also think her eyewells are different shapes, one eye is always easier to get positioned nicely than the other.

      DOT: My Elf Ducan fits my Soony's Iplehouse skinny jeans (and didn't even stretch them out). He fits girl clothes better than man clothes. I didn't learn this until now, so shopping for him has been painful.
      Other than that, the DOT kankles many others have mentioned. DoT's could have more detail to their hands as well, I think. And maybe less splayed out fingers.

      BambiCrony Kumi: Is hard to get standing, her limbs just don't lend themselves to it.

      Limhwa Mano: I don't really dislike anything about him, but he has some amusing points. Like, big thighs and a big butt. It's hard to find pants that I can get over his thighs and then over his butt. He also does "raptor arms" and it can be tricky to make his arms look casually relaxed. His hands are in 'closed' positions, so he can't be easily posed to look like he's holding anything.

      Soom Super Gem Spinel: This is the sculpt I am most disenchanted with. While he has gorgeous details, he has some flaws. I can't get his arms to pose nicely, even with restringing (and his arm vein is a bit creepy). He isn't a great stander either. I hate his upper torso joint as it costantly pops, making him slouch too much and therefore unable to stand.
      On the sculpt itself: He has NO BUTT. I kid you not, Super Gem's have even weirder butts than Hounds! It is so flat and non-existant he has to wear a belt all the time!

      Hound: My Hound was generally tricky to get standing. I also hated his hip joint with a burning passion, even after hot glue sueding him it would occasionally pop. His double joints weren't too pretty either.

      I had a Luts-era MNF Shiwoo and still have the MNF Lishe but I play/ed with them so rarely that I haven't developed any dislikes about them.
       
    5. Oh My Gosh, I can complain so much about My Large Busted Elfdoll.

      Firstly, She's large busted. Nothing fits normally around this girls huge breasts! At times I really wish that my mom had ordered her from the company so she could have a small breast verses these unrealistically huge ones!

      Secondly, my Mom had bought her from a friend. While she was with the friend, the screw in her foot stripped the resin. So, we had to reattach the foot in a different way....so now my girl stands lopsided and falls flat on her face every time I pose her.

      And lastly,
      My girl stands so awkwardly (when I can get her to stand), because her bust has to be pushed way up high so she can keep her balance....but when I do that, he rear end sticks out!

      It doesn't end! XD
       
    6. Oh gosh. How do I put this without offending people?
      Well, first off, I can't STAND Notdoll's molds. Any of them. *Shudder* Personal opinion.
      A lot of dolls are very beautiful, but I tend to not like the lips on many of them. One of the things I don't like about my CP Miyu is that her bottom lip is like, five times larger than the top one. I also don't like dolls with their mouths too open in an "o" form.
      I really, REALLY dislike Obitsu's bodies. Sorry, everyone who likes them. They're too ball-looking for my tastes, but I understand that makes them very poseable.
      Oh- and I seriously don't like that the default hands for Miyu are a pointing finger and outstretched hand. WTF? Photostories were incredibly hard to do until I got her normal hands.
      Also, I don't like the display pictures of Volks. I never liked Volks dolls until I saw owner pictures, and I realized that with a plain-looking doll, beautiful things can be done. I guess I just lack that creativity. ;_;
      Like I said, I don't mean to offend anyone, so if you disagree with me, you can just ignore what I said. :sweat
       
    7. I don't want to offend anyone with what i say.
      So, I'm going to pick out my doll. I personally don't like arm molds. They don't pose very well. Mind you, I just restrung the poor headless boy (his head is away for a faceup*_*) and his arms pose alot better, but still alot worse then the rest of his body. Also, the shape of the joints kinda...Its not like i dont like them but im not too fond of them. He's definitly suits his character though XD ....oh, and his body in general kinda lacks sanding on the inside joint.:sweat
       
    8. MY Amafael's nose is big, and it doesn't always look too good. Dx
       
    9. hmmm...
      ...
      Luts: I have to agree with Mayu...that darn pointing finger of Miyu's!

      Dollfie Dream: Mine came with the super large bust and I replaced it with the smaller one....however the small bust vinyl didnt match my dollfie dream. (Both are the newer model....not the strung one)

      Dollmore: My Miyuki is one of my favourite dolls...however I cant stand that her knees cant be in a middleground between 90 degrees and straight.

      Dollzone: My only complaint on my Yuu is that he has a huge head and huge eyes.

      Unoa 2.0: I wish she had normal feet instead of heels.

      Tanned Aren: no real complaints.
       
    10. Raptor arms! :lol: Never heard that phrase but I know what you're talking about. That is the perfect name for it!
      And I've yet to see a Super Gem butt but I'll keep an eye out. ;)

      Totally OT but that made me laugh. Mayu, Miyu! :lol:
       
    11. DoD XD
      the joints behind the knee are kind of weird XD
      also i don´t like..... penis (omg... can i write this?? XD)
      so.... unpresent.... i mean... it is here but, so smaaaalll ;__________;
      XD
       
    12. Totally agree. I was resolved to never get Volks until this past weekend in which I visited their LA store (just for fun) and I got to hold one and inspect him up close. He was beautiful!
       
    13. I agree. As much as I love Cynthia, her knees are really taking some getting used to. They're not so bad in trousers or stockings, but her bare legs look quite strange.

      Also, having only one boy and being more experienced in dressing girls, it annoys me sometimes when Zee's penis (I hate that word...) shows through his jeans or makes the zip line weird :doh I was so afraid the first time I sat him down in tight jeans, I thought the jeans were going to crush him, I don't think I could glue back a resin dingle with a straight face, or mould a new one from epoxy *_*
       
    14. My least favorite part is the breasts on some doll sculpts that look like silicone doll boobs. They are unrealistic all the way around and make the doll look unbalaced and unnatural. I have seen somethat look like two marbles were used for the sculpts and just put on their chests.

      Now I know some people like this but this is my least favorite part and I morethen likley would not get a doll that looked like that.
       
    15. Double lointed knees where the knee part bent is like a giant oval 4x the length a knee the scale should be. worse the same with extra resin on the knee that leaves a huge hollow gap when bent.

      Interchangeable ears that don't match because the default faceup is heavily blushed too close to the ears.

      large neck the head barely sits on and likes to strangely tilted to one side leaving the the neck edge jutting out.

      That tiny cap inside the Puki leg cap to make it sit swarriko, doesn't always catch the cord properly.
       
    16. It's not just the SGs, either... even the Gems & the Mecha Angels, too, all of 'em, no junk in the trunk. :sweat Poor Soom guys!! Baby got no back!!

      I also have a pet peeve about Soom's hands... little itty bitty teeny tiny mutant hands on those men. Especially Gem, who wears the same ring size as a CP girl. A Namu's hands are practically the same size as his nose. XD

      And I despair over 67cm Limho's entire body engineering-- not just the pterodactyl-arms, I mean, holding him is like trying to herd a school of fish. All his body-parts are always trying to get away from you! His sculpture is beautiful, but he's not quite constructed for good balancing & posing. (Sculpture is plenty redemption enough, though, in my book.)
       
    17. Unnatural looking boobs are a huge annoyance to me. Also I hate doll feet, any doll feet, especially the way high heel feet look. I like my dolls to wear shoes or socks a lot, because I dislike how feet look, both doll feet and real feet. I just hate feet.
       
    18. OMG That really made me laugh!! :lol:

      For the DOT' knee joints, I agree with you they can been a bit weird. But I wish my Mnf shiwoo has them too cos his always pop out easily :|
      I also don't really like my E-an DoT' ears, they are HUGE! :sweat Her arms seem to be un-natural :roll:
      The things I don't like about my Mnf are his pointy nose (so I sanded it) and his bad poseability :doh

      I still love my kids :)
       
    19. The one thing that bothers me about my bory is his bug, stick-outy ears.
       
    20. AR Cossette Girl that I have, she's so adorable with her tiny mouth and nose and puffy cheeks, but if you look at her from lower (up the nose) its liek OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE

      And my hound, His poppy belly joint, loose arms cause I'm inexperienced and can't suede/wire, lack of head movement, and his hands! They barely move at all...my cossette has a ball inbetween the hand and wrist so her hands go everywhere...but I luffs my hound, he's all tall and purdy
