I'm looking to get a 60-70cm size doll head to practise faceups and just want fast shipping and good reply/service. I'm purposefully not making a character for the head so i'm not precious about experimenting. About 10 years ago i'd have said Dollmore, but looking to find out about new companies that are good during this current time. Thanks to you all for your advice!
Several dealers have an “in stock” head selection so that could be a quick place to start. I know Alice’s Collections has a section for that. alicescollections.com
Right now is also the lunar new year, so many dealers and companies are closed for festivities. You may want to wait until February to order if you don't want to wait longer for replies or for things to ship. If you're in the US, I think BJDivas also has a similar in stock head section as Alice's collection and they shouldn't have delays on in stock items shipping out right now.
Yeah, you're going to want to look at dealer in stock sections! aside from BJDivas DDE also has instock, i think there were some separate heads (most likely RS?) the last time I was looking for instock dolls a few weeks ago. edit: nvm, I see you're in Australia from your profile haha. Sorry, I'm not sure of the quickest AU shipping dealers!
Alice Collection has an "in stock" section, and they almost always have practice heads from doll family. I'm not sure which size of doll the head is meant to fit tho. Otherwise, it's worth it to check resinsoul. The company is very quick to make dolls, so I'll assume they're equally fast to make a head.
Well, Dollmore is still one of the quickest when it comes to shipping and they are willing to sell the heads of almost any one of their dolls. Edit: And they currently have random head lucky boxes that they say they will ship within 1-4 business days.
Two companies I have ordered from that are pretty fast are Dreaming Doll Parts - Head And Withdoll :::::::::: WITHDOLL ::::::::::
Denver Doll Emporium has some in-stock heads - for me, they have been the company that ships out the fastest for in stock items, often the next day. If you look through the "whats new" or "sale" categories the items are clearly marked if they have them on hand.
All companies I've contacted through their Q&A boards have replied the next day. Ringdoll have an in-stock section, and should ship quickly. But for make to order dolls, consider a long wait. I'm a LUTS fan; they've always shipped on time (as described). What do you consider quick?
Angel of Dream is pretty fast too, and one of the cheaper companies. In my experience over the years, they usually ship within 1-2 months.
I guess i'd personally say within one month of placing the order. Good to hear about LUTS, I do like their sculpts Thank you for the input.
