Dollshe Bernard for sure he was the doll who made me fall in love with Dollshe and then Dollshe Saint, IOS Anima and Iplehouse Luo. Another doll I also find very beautiful is Little Monica's Demetri. The first doll I ever wanted was Volks Chii
Totally agree with LLT roderich, fell in love with his sculpt the first time I came across him (one of my holy grails haha). Another sculpt that i think is beautiful in the sense of its versatility is switch’s waseon (he’s literally a doll staple in a lot of people’s collection and one I fell in love with when getting in the hobby )
Soom Photon, Ender, Void... Gluino vampire.version... But somehow I know that Soom dolls are not for me... I like slim dolls better. Idealians are too muscled and serious looking for me.
Mine will always be Dollshe David K. I fell in love in minutes when I saw him advertised in a Haute Doll magazine
For quite some time this doll is one of my favourites: Qingyi (limited / full set version) of Angell Studio. I don't own him, but I love him.
Oh what a beautiful and inspiring thread, I just finished reading all your lovely posts For me it’s Nabarro‘s boys Har - were he real I would love to hang out with him, he can look so dreamy and menacing or perfectly in zen depending on the angle from where one looks at him Dollshe‘s original bermann and Marmite Sue‘s Venus come second and third to me, with Bermann having this protective calmth about him and Venus the perfect grumpy Teenie look
This was posted 6 years ago. amazing, I'll be here wishing for a volks Lieselotte, hope I can own her oneday.
Discarding my own personal quirks and keeping to the dolls I know best (realistic MSDs) I'd say Iplehouse Leonard for guys and Raccoondoll Rosie for ladies. Both have just enough "different" to be interesting without going to far from the ideal of classical attractiveness, which is what largest amount of people would be drawn to, statistically speaking
For me it is the gorgeous and manly Iplehouse EID Luo...what a hunk, both in face and body! I’ve pined away for this guy for years, but never brought him home because I never had a character for him. He’s one of those dolls I’ll always be content to just admire from afar.
Oh man. Too many to count. Pretty much every doll from Iplehouse (and I don't even own any yet!), a good bit from Luts, and of course a good bit from Volks.
Iplehouse Leonard, hands down. I thought so when that big-nosed, cat-eyed sculpt first came out, and the feeling hasn't changed over the years. However, I'm going to give an honorable mention to LLT's Black Pearl, for his bawdy smile and lovely dimples.
Both are gorgeous!! I love Saint I would add now I love Iplehouse Ron and I think Leonard is beautiful too.
I honestly think the Minifee Chloe I have on hold from a friend is one of the most gorgeous BJDs I've laid eyes on! And another one whom I sadly do not know the sculpted of (just that they were a soft pastel boy beauty).
Someone introduced me to Phoenix Doll's Liu in another thread and I simply have not been able to stop thinking about her! She's absolutely gorgeous.
Soom's Hyperon, Adonis, and Narner. I have all of them so far except Hyperon; still waiting on the perfect one (I really want mercenary from hell, but I'm likely to never get one).
Dollshe King Corey. Gorgeous facial structure, and his expression is so soft, mellow—friendly (at least with the way I have mine painted anyways). He's one of the few love at first sight/must have him guys I ever found in the hobby, and kind of remains one of the very few that's impacted me that way. To a milder degree I'll also say that Granado Mars has a similar affect on me. In a different way, IOS Belcanto has this alluring, charismatic expression that just gets to me. There's also this lovely modded boy I've seen around here on DOA a few times with blue/black hair that just captivates me (I feel bad that I can't recall at this time the name of the owner, or the boy's sculpt for that matter. All I can say is that he's mesmerizing every time I see him).
Iplehouse Luo is still the king of BJD guys for me though I will never own one. I like a lot of the Ringdolls too, particularly the Edward sculpt faced up non femme. I miss mine....sigh...He was SO handsome....
As of right now the iplehouse's fid Bianca is up there on my list of really attractive bjds. Iplehouse dolls are so pretty.
Twigling's Ingenue still has one of the most attractive faces I've ever seen on a doll - it's got this raw emotion and just pulls you right in. I'd also add Noble Dolls Raspberry as that sculpt is still a grail of mine and she's just absolutely, perfectly adorable.
Iplehouse EID Bichun is the most beautiful BJD sculpt in my books with Fifth Motif Venitu in second place.
I think at the moment I’m loving Dollshe Arsene, second is Supia Juah, third Pygmalion Ha, 4th Phoenixdolls Neave, sadly they’re no longer taking orders....
Rainman Rene sculpt. I just love her so much... She is my absolute grail and I hope I can get her on the second hand market someday because I can't afford to buy her right now and I know she will be gone at the end of January
I must agree with Soom’s Idealians. Especially Hyperon. Not sure how many Hyperons there were but they are so handsome. If they ever release some again, I am in trouble. As for girl I think Minifee Liria is very pretty.
I have to admit that I personally attracted to SOOM Idealian Amor. I saw his face beyond the faceup promotion and he made me feel like I am 16 again! You know, feeling butterfly in your stomach, heart beating fast and forget how to breath. And now all my boys are SOOM Idealian! I am falling hard for all of them!
Gosh, that's hard. Just one? I think most BJDs would be supermodels if they came to life - The Voice and Miracle Doll boys with their snatched waistlines, anything by Luts or Dreaming Doll, all the Iplehouse and Impldoll boys and girls, Telesthesia and Dragon dolls... Just one? I can't choose!
Every single no.9 Babel Tower Xiao Shu I've seen has been gorgeous, and it's by far my favorite sculpt! The expressive eyes and sweet smile are too cute. I have a doll profile for mine here. Anyone else that collects this sculpt, please say hi! I would love to see more!!
My old-school heart beats for the classics of the 2000's : Luts Delf El/Breakaway, Dream of Doll Ducan, and on the Volks side: Shiro Tachibana and Tsukasa Konoe. Such a bummer also that most of the attractive BJD's I have seen are limited time releases, also including Soom Beryl and Onyx.
Most conventionally attractive? SartoriaJ Juliet. She's stunning! Impldoll Eudora is also supermodel worthy.
Crobidoll Lance and Daydream Lance (in particular, the original Daydream version that has a closed mouth and more closed eyes). After all these years it's still the most beautiful, perfect face.
