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.

Your choice of skin color?

Jun 28, 2012

    1. My first doll was Limhwa To You Sara in White skin . Because she is so tiny , White skin made her as a fairy or elf .
      My second child has Normal skin . Because he is a man , and I want him to be strong , mature .
       
    2. I like and pink toned normal skin resin, as it yellows the best from what I've heard, and I just really like it! <3
       
    3. I normally just go with whatever the "normal" option is. I hope soon to have a tan doll and perhaps a white skin doll, but white seems so hard to make them seem alive.
       
    4. I like all skin tones! But personally, I usually get them in NS... unless I have a specific character in mind. I love tanned dolls though, and I have a few WS in the mix. I think though that if I could, I would have most of my dolls in that wonderful peach gold colour from iplehouse :)
       
    5. I think it depends on dolls, but I like normal skin the best since it makes the dolls look so real! :lol:
       
    6. I think I lean towards WS, but I do adore all skin tones. The fantasy ones can be so gorgeous too. But lately I find myself leaning towards normal skin or tan. :)
       
    7. For me, it really depends on the doll, but I do tend to prefer white skin over any other color. I have two dolls currently and two I'm waiting on. One is normal skinned and the rest are white (albeit one yellowed because of age, but still).
       
    8. I adore the light brown/tan skin tones and IH's real skin tone. I would lean towards a white skin tone if I select and Asain themed doll
       
    9. I like the very pale peach pink color-I do have a white elfkin though and the color fits her well. I think pure white freaks me out when it comes to bigger dolls.
       
    10. Right now I only have one doll and he's white skinned. But I have a puki fee Luna on layaway that's normal skinned. I like a wide range of skin types except for maybe the grey... Not too fond of the grey. :| :kitty2
       
    11. I like to have a mix, my first was tan but I really loved Luts/Soom NS 'til I got Iplehouse Peach gold, now I wish everything was in that tone! :)
       
    12. I think I like to mold characters in my mind first before buying dolls, so usually I would pick a skin colour suitable for the character in mind. In all honesty, I do love normal and tan skin.
       
    13. I really like real skin and like Luts tan, but nine times out of ten, I'll settle for normal skin, and just have my dolls sit out to yellow. Right now I own 3 white skinned dolls, a bunch in normal skin, 3 real skin/tan, and one that is like terra cotta red. One day I'd like try getting a doll in a fantasy color like green or blue.
       
    14. I must admit I like the rose greys, and lilacs. Such as Iplehouse's Tamer Luna. For more normal colours, I prefer very, very pale, so probably close to white.
       
    15. I can not decide if iplehouse real skin or the peach gold skin is better! They are both so beautiful! If price wasn't an issue, I would for sure choose any tan skin!
       
    16. For me I like mostly normal and white and sometimes tan (no odd/fantasy skin colors) but when deciding the skin for a doll I'm buying it deffer from each doll company, Like I don't buy white skin dolls from a certain company since I feel their ws is kinda weird white color for me and doesn't fit the head mold at all ^^;; while another company I love all their skin options and sometimes I find it hard to choose which skin color to get :)
       
    17. Generally, I choose for NS if it's a human character, and white if it's a fantasy character. Tan for either human or fantasy. I don't have a tan doll at this time, though I hope to have several in the future.
       
    18. The darker the better! I'm a little irritated that I bought my IH Eva before CDS came out. She was initially a boy that I already had a body for so I was matching resins rather than trying to make a whole new doll. I would have loved my girl darker, but now I know! I'm a character doll person so the resin color is a little dependent on the character the doll is for, but in IH terms I want to keep every future doll between Peach Gold and Ebony.

      Right now all of my boyfriend's and my dolls are fairly light, but our next doll purchase will be a double from IH with a Light Tan and a Real Skin. If we had the money (and the time!) we'd order our Ebony girl, too.
       
    19. I like white, normal & tan and have all of them. My favorite though would have to be Ringdolls tan skin as it's just beautiful and I love the translucent resin.
       
    20. I generally go for natural skin colors, like normal skin and tanned, but I do have a lot of white skin dolls too. They work as my magical beings, where as the normal skin and tanned dolls are humans.
      I don't think I have a preference, when it comes to skin color, I just want it to fit the character.
