Your favorite and least favorite sculpts?

    1. There is a huge amount of variation in the styles and resin colors available! I'd like to know what dolls people love...and the ones they can't stand.

      No trashing other people's dolls, though - if you hate X doll, and someone says they love that sculpt, don't make that person feel bad. Stay polite.

      Try to explain why you like/dislike those sculpts!

      My favorites: Delf Angel Elf Soo, Delf Miyu, Leeke Arien, Leeke/DollGa Noella (I like big eyes).

      My least favorites: Delf Juri 05, Delf Nanuri 06, Unoa Lusis (I know those are popular sculpts, I just don't LIKE them for some reason)!

    2. My favorites: Batchix Orpheus, (because I think the way he holds is mouth is so unique, as is the nose shape) and Luts Model Abadon (because his eyes and brow line are love and life)

      My least favorites: Minifee Chloe/Celine (the semi pouty lips really annoy me for some reason :ablink:) and Kaye Wiggs Tobi. the proportions and facial features are really offputting for some reason!

    3. I agree on the Kaye Wiggs, something about her dolls just doesn't work for me.

    4. Favorites: My little doll family, if I were honest; SDF Karis, SDF Harmony, and LM Sophia(All of it's alterations). Volks F-59 and F-64, SDF Chloe, KDF Duri, and SWITCH Seolrok are the ones I can think of on top of my head. I don't have an ultimate favorite doll, but it may be because I haven't found it yet haha.

      Least favorites: A vast majority of Cerberus Project's old stuff. Big eyes on dolls are cute, don't get me wrong, but when they occupy half of the doll's face that's where it gets creepy. Soo and Dambi no exception...

      And I do apologize if you guys like them, though. Ya can't please everyone, they say :(

    5. Favourites: Soom Dia (I used to dislike this sculpt because of the open mouth but now it's one of my favs), Iplehouse Arvid, Granado Uranus, Iplehouse Stella, Soom Hyperon, Soom Gluino, Soom Phonolus

      Least favourites: Impldoll Bosco, Harwick, Heloise, Felix (aesthetically-wise...just such a shocker, nose and mouth proportions urgh), Kaye Wigs (coz their facial features are just off), Minifee Chloe (I used to really like this sculpt but after seeing so many of her around, I just never want to see her again), unnaturally open mouthed dolls (like how I really hate it when models can't keep their mouth shut).

    6. I'm new to the hobby so I don't know if I have a fave or least fave yet. I will say that I'm not too fond of the Doll Chateau Alberta... I love fantasy dolls, but her body just creeps me out..... Those human legs remind me of the human centipede (if you don't know what that is, be thankful). No offense to anyone who loves her...

      I checked out the Kaye Wiggs dolls and they're actually kinda cute to me...? The pouty lips and round noses work well for Black dolls... A lot of us have those features, minus the big eyes.

    7. The one I pointed out in particular, Tobi, is more an example of what I was trying to get out. Some of her dolls are 'normal, just different' and then some spin off into...wow, what is this? In my opinion :XD:
       
      #7 SilverRoses, Nov 13, 2015
    8. She's kinda cute too, but I would want her with smaller ears. lol But I think that if I ever got her, I would want her ears to still be kinda big, because something about having slight "imperfections" is kinda cute to me... :)

      Oh no, I don't even have my first doll yet and somehow, a thread about people's LEAST favourite dolls makes me want another one. LOL

    9. aww, what a cool topic (we always only talk abt the dolls that we *like* :3

      anyway, my fav: all kinds of sleepyheads. tbh, i stopped collecting per se, but I really wouldn't mind being given 1. LM innocent Sophia, because she looks like MSDoll Drayton's younger sister <3 2. ED Emma reminisce, but I completely stopped to miss her ever since I ordered my sleeping Jina ;) 3. Among the Open eyed ones - I love MNF Rheia/Mirwen boys. I love their cute eyes, noses and everything and I'd love to get myself those babes ;) Just on the non-muscular body, of course 4.The dreamy LM Chole, because I may want to reshell my character in a distanced future, and she's totally awesome for it:) . 5. Switch boys <3 90% of all the sculpts :)

      My least fav: 1. i guess I understand you, @mionnaise, bc I'm also not particularly fond of some of the old CP sculpts. I suppose it's not about their eyes being too big - just too narrowly positioned (too close to their noses). 2. I often having a hard time with the DOllstown faces. As much as I love their bodies, their open mouths and cartoon-puppy-shaped eyes just creep me out. 3. I love all Switch'es excluding... Soseo, Seorlock, Milhwa, Taeheo. I like the lesser known ones :3 (and shiho <3) 4. It's a kind of a trauma-related thing - Resinsoul Dong. It was my first doll and he is that something that still gives me nightmares. He was a disappointmen through and through, whome even a (successful) nose job couldn't help. 5. Doll Leaves arwen. I the face proportions... are just weird to me :)

      to sum up, I just like those boring, generic things ;)

    10. Favorites: Soom Amber, Soom Heliot, Soom Ender, Soom Phonolus, Soom Hyperon, Dollshe Saint.

      Least Favorites: Kaye Wiggs, Notdoll Belladonna, Smiling Elfdoll Barbara. Their aesthetic is unique, it's just not for me.
       
      #10 AmberLeigh, Nov 14, 2015
    11. Favorites: Iplehouse Mars, Volks F-16, Soom Ender, SoulDoll Iliya, Migidoll Ell, Little Rebel Aleksander and Jelle......I can't even say what it is about them, I just think they're gorgeous.

      Least Favorites: Puki PongPong, all SecretDolls, all Circus Kane, most tinies. Even if they're very well sculpted, they just aren't for me. I like my dolls to look like fairly realistic humans, so anything really unusually artistically styled or fantasy themed just isn't for me. I also really don't care for children, so anything that looks like a baby or toddler, especially with an open mouth that appears to be screaming is out for me.

    12. I guess my favorites are smiling dolls. Be With You Smiling Golden Kiwi(?) is my absolute favorite. I also love dolls with unique expressions sculpted into their face.

      I hate pouty and very sad looking dolls. Just depressing. I know sometimes it's just created with the face up but there are many sorrowful looking sculpts.

    13. Volks Lucas, Glorydoll Louis, 5th Motif Venitu (ok that's cheating a bit as these are the dolls I own; but then again, that's why I got them).

      Of dolls I don't own, Sweet Gale's Wayne, Jayne and Cyril are my favorites right now. I also like Volks Lorina a lot, though I'm sometimes of two minds about her. Little Monica's sculpts are almost all really lovely to me, too. That company might have my overall favorite bjd aesthetic. Crobidoll Lance and Yeon-ho are also very tempting.

      Least favorites... Dollzone Megi springs to mind as the first time I saw a sculpt and was just like... nope. Though I'm sure there are plenty of sculpts I dislike more, actually. I don't really remember the names, since if I dislike a doll I don't keep tabs on it and there are SO many different sculpts out there it'd be impossible to keep track of even the ones that I like.

      Of sculpts that are popular enough that I know them well, but still dislike... I never understood the attraction to Volks Megu and Four Sisters. Sometimes I can admire them a bit because there is no doubt people do incredibly beautiful faceups and styling for them. But I just can't get into it. And Narae's face reminds me of a girl who bullied me when I was a kid, so I've always disliked that doll.

    14. Something about Kaye Wiggs dolls throws me off. I can objectively say they are cute, but the lack of a bridge on the nose is too cutesy for my taste. They have a very American aesthetic, and I think that's part of why I don't care for them. I've never been able to get into Soom dolls. Some of them are AMAZING, but I don't have a desire to own one. I do like the monthly fairies, though. I can really understand the big eyes being creepy, and how they're too close to the nose - but that's my favorite part lol! The CP Delfs are my absolute favs.

    15. Favorites: Ringdoll Sol, K, Boyce and Ashford. all the Ringdoll grown male bodies; Dollshe Saint, Bernard and Hound and their new but discontinued pure body; Soul Doll Kanguk; Dollmore Nayuta Kenzo; Doll Chateau kids Colin, Mathew and Douglas and the adult body especially the Dolores male with the embossed collar.
      Least favorite: Neffer Kane, Kay Wiggs, most tinies, pear shaped bodies. squished boob bodies.

    17. I've always liked relatively simple sculpts, like Bluefairy and certain Volks sculpts. Dolls with a clean, young look to them. I'm a sucker for sculpts that have a sleepy, innocent look. I'm starting to get into dolls that are a bit more specific looking, though. I am considering a Merry Doll Round Olathe or Fang when she comes back for preorder. I like the slightly vague ethnicity that dolls like that can offer.

      There have always been dolls that don't appeal to me, but rarely do I see any that make me think "no way." However, recently I stumbled across a few pictures of Dollzone Benjamin. He freaks me out big time. I think it's because he reminds me of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. That character has always weirded me out, ever since I was a kid. So, a big no thank you to that sculpt from me, unfortunately.

    18. I am into volks dolls just certain ones. My favorite sculpt right now is Esthy's Peroth. (Even though I have 5 of them I always wanting another.)

      There are alot of artists dolls that don't appeal to me. It would be rude to list them there. But I am more conserned in the direction that Dollzone is going. They had very nice scuplts and very nice bodies. But with the scupltor from Doll Chatau getting involved .....I find many of the new DZ stuff to be a mayjor trun off.
      Don't get me wrong. I adore DC's "art inspired" dolls but I see them more as "Art" pieces rather then dolls ment to be played with.

    19. I am a huge fan of Dollzone (their lastest MSD girl body is to die for, so graceful and posable), they have a lot of sculpts that I love and I definitely want to have a big amount of their event dolls that are always so sweet ! I like Doll Chateau faces a lot too, they have so much potential... And I'm also very found of artist's dolls (Cerisedolls, Mystic Doll, Once Upon a Dark Tale, Noble Doll, Magic Mirror Studio, Depths Dolls... And I'm forgetting plenty !)

      But if I really had to pick my absolute favourite sculpts, it would definitely be all the Depths Dolls (Abyss, Giorria and Deilf), Magic Mirror Sinéad and Maeve, Cerisedolls Ellana, and probably Cerisedolls Gabriel (she's just a prototype for now but she is very promissing).
      And as for the least favourite sculpts... probably MNF Chloé and LTF Ante. I'm not too found of their sculpts to begin with (they are very pretty, but they do not appeal to me) and I've just seen too many. There are some Chloé that I like though^^
      And Nefer Kane's Kameko really disturbs me. I like her sculpt to begin with, but there's just too much eyes and holes and it makes me deeply uneasy.

      That said, I try to never say never. The few "never" I had had practically all broken at a point or another xD I said no white skin and no pet doll, doesn't interest me, and I got a Doll Chateau Russell in white skin. I said no Unoas, they're so expensive and I've seen too many, still I got a Unoa Sist boy hybrid. No Pullip, I might one. No dolls that are anime like - I don't think I'll get one but I really like some of them now. Tastes change, and something that really bothered you about a sculpt might become something you desperatly love xD

    20. I'm fond of "old school" sculpts, so things like CP Shiwoos and Breakaways or Volks Sakakis will always appeal to me. I'm fond of Soon Heliots as well.

      The sculpts I'm least fond of are hyper-realistic faces like the celebrity MiniMees. Those honestly creep me out a little.:sweat
