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. I'm a normal skintone kind of collector, but mostly because I started in the hobby when tan skin didn't exist XD
      I have a few white but most are normal skin and I like that each company have its own normal skintone. My Dollstol almost look tan in RL but he usually photographs quite pale.
      Recently I've started thinking of maybe getting a tan doll but I don't really know which one...
       
    2. I tend to go for the Normal skin. My first doll was a White skin cos that was what was in the company photo and I didn't know much about bjd's back then. I really like white skin, but also have that fear that too many white skin will make the group look less special or else they are become like a ghost family. :XD: I am getting more interested in Iplehouse's real skin though...maybe someday...
       
    3. I like normal skin and tan skin but white skin not too
       
    4. I like white and normal.
       
    5. I getting my Ringdoll Lucifer in white (already ordered his head), Iplehouse Eric special real, Iplehouse Shane normal. I guess, or thus far, I don't have "usually". It's just whatever I think fits the doll.
       
    6. I like white and tan.
      I like collecting fantasy type sculpts and for some reason those skin types seem to fit the best in my mind.
       
    7. For me, it completely depends on the sculpt and character of the doll. I must admit, though, Iplehouse's peach gold really gets me. <3

      Honestly, though, I think I'd prefer to have a large variety of skintones. Makes each color that much more special. ^^
       
    8. I really, really want an ebony doll but it has to have features like Nabarro's Booth - who I love but missed out on the pre-order. I'm still crying about that one.
       
    9. I have a white skin doll on order, as well as a coffee black skinned one, so I guess I'll have to see how I feel about them when they get here. Aaaand I have normal skin, pink skin, yellow skin and tan here at home.
      I reaaallly love the look of the tan, tho. A lot. >.>; I feel like I want to collect more tans...
       
    10. At the moment I have a normal pink angel fantasy Alice and a DollLove Ceceila head in white skin. On top of that I have two dolls planned which will have white heads semi transparent bodies and transparent hands, I also want to own a grey skinned doll at some point.
       
    11. I like both white and normal skin dolls, as long as it's not fantasy colours like grey or green D:
      Fantasy colours are just oh so not my cup of tea, makes the dollies look sick to me x .x~
       
    12. I like normal skin dolls the most I guess, since I would prefer to make their hair or eye colors wilder.
      But for fantasy types, I would pick white or grey tones, maybe blue too!
       
    13. I prefer normal skin, but I'm starting to warm up to the white skinned dolls. Depends on the company I'd say.
       
    14. The boy I have so far has tan skin, though I think it really depends on the individual doll for me. I'm sure there are some that I would prefer lighter, but I am a big fan of tan :3c That's probably because I admire darker skin tones in general, so that goes into dolls as well
       
    15. It's cliché but the natrual skin tones are the most appealing to me. The other tones of skin color just don't look very natural or beautiful for me.
       
    16. I like white skins most, but sometimes light fantasy skin. I'm the same with people, I'm old-fashioned.
       
    17. My favorite resin colors are tan and especially any kind of brown that is offered!
       
    18. I prefer Normal to Tan skintones.
      I don't really like the white skin or skintones that are too pale.
       
    19. I like normal skintones the most, however other skintones are also fine - because my girls are Lina Chouchou limiteds they both have white skin :)
       
    20. I pick the white skin because its easy to match bodies with but I really love the Tan and normal color skins its just hard to match bodies with the normal skin tones.
