What is your BJD company and/or BJD artist Kryptonite?

Peak's Woods hehe. Especially their new FOC Mimi Crow sculpt

 

I have to say Pipos, I just love all of their animal sculpts

 

It's definitely Fairyland. I just have never been able to find a fault with the sculpts that I enjoy. I'm so nitpicky that any other company I look at my brain will always point something tiny out that puts me off but I've never had that with fairyland. It's perfection for my fairy/elf loving brain.

Singular artist is Villitunes, I have a low key obsession with aliens, all my games involve a little green alien, my sims are pretty much always green. Villitunes cyclops dolls will forever be a favourite and I hope to buy many of her cyclops dolls in the future

 

My absolute favorite is Supiadoll. I like basically all of their girls and I wouldn't mind owning them all. The sculpts are my style and so are the face-ups! It's always exciting to see what they make next because I'm bound to like it. Soom would be my second. Their guys are handsome and even though I don't like all of their sculpts, I go crazy for the ones that grab my attention. I do watch them like a hawk so that I don't miss out on the must-haves!

 

Old Luts/ Cerberus Project dolls. The newer Luts and Fairyland just do not do it for me so much. I find myself hunting down the older dolls rather than buying new ones lately.

 

Loongsoul. I try to resist but it's impossible. Their full sets are so detailed and the cloths are so well made it s crazy. I almost made it a whole year without buying a new loongsoul boy. Then a sold out limited edition came up on the market place, sigh.
Loongsoul is so worth the money in my book.
Miracle Doll is a close second. I love the stylized, strange aesthetic.

 

Ringdoll! Their 1/3 dolls they keep releasing all look so dang beautiful! Also with the rerelease of Eren Jaeger, my wallet is going to cry-

 

I am enamored with Unoa faces. I don't think I've ever seen one I didn't like no matter the wig, eyes, faceup.

 

For a long time it was Soom Tiny Gems. But now it's Lillycat (not that I can afford anything) and Minfee (not that I can afford them either).

 

Bit odd, but with me it’s the customs... all my custom sculpts are from Namonaki workshop, they’re good to work with and always do quality sculpts. I constantly say that I’m done with getting more custom sculpts but I’m at four now.

Money wise, I’m definitely stopping for a good six months at least. But I just love seeing them come into being & the fact that I can get exactly the sculpt I want. My last incoming is a sort of grail, so I can’t wait! He should be here in early 2020!

 

For me it's Soom. They captured my interest immediately when I was browsing BJDs for the first time. I just love how they portray their fantasy dolls; their sculpts are gorgeous and the variety of fantasy parts/clothing/accessories is a dream come true.

And AngelToast. While I do enjoy doing my own faceups, I just adore AngelToast's work. I love to see AngelToast's eye candy on my crew. I'm always impressed with her beautiful faceups, and she really helps me bring my dolls to life.

 

For me, it's definitely the sculptor Kana (Rosen Lied/Kana doll/Petit Soiree)! I absolutely love her sculpts and her face-ups! I love my Rosen Lied Holiday's Child Bambi so much, and I have a Rosen Lied Limited Maret with a Kana face-up on the way as well as a Kana doll Bambi (Snr)! I'm very tempted to purchase a second Holiday's Child Bambi too!

 

I own two SartoriaJ dolls and have since looked forward to every month's new releases. Although their dolls can be somewhat challenging to find clothes for, I can't be mad when the company itself produces the most beautiful outfits for them anyway!

Moreover, half the fun is actually participating in and getting to share everyone's excitement on the SartoriaJ threads. I've also had nothing but pleasant communications with Jay on the Q&As who provides great service and happily fulfils my unique requests

 

I would say closed eye smiling sculpts and Dream of Doll sculpts are some of my favorites.

 

I'm real soft on Crobi.

 

Elfdoll Rainy heads

 

Dollmore of all sizes

 

Fairyland’s Realfee size and smaller. Not so fussed about Littlefees but adore the others. They have such expressive faces that are usually filled with mischief!

 

Definitely Dollstown. The sculpting is fantastic, the jointing is exactly what I like, resin and overall quality are flawless. And An Jonghak himself is a great person to work with. Honestly the only reason I consider other companies is a pressure to diversify, but in the end I just love these dolls way too much so I keep coming back.

 

DreamHigh Studio!!! I love Donny’s sculpts so much I wish I owned more of his dolls

 

I’ve always loved the Luts sculpts, and by far most of my dolls are from them. But for the past 5 years or so, it’s been the sister companies of Dollzone/Doll Chateau/Dream Valley who have gotten all my dolly dollars. Their creativity and originality has absolutely won me over!

 

I'd say Peak's Woods is probably my favorite at the moment - the faceups are so beautiful and I can't stop looking at my own girl I'm also really fond of Coral Reef too. Some of their 1/6 sculpts are just so odd and scary looking and I love it!

 

I love everything Doll Chateau has made

 

Dearmine. Why are they all so cute! And the face ups are so pretty.
I like a lot of the dream valley sculpts, but not all of them. More like half?

 

The more I handle BJDs, the more I've worked out what I do and don't like, and my wishlist keeps getting smaller.
Things that tempt me into a potential purchase these days are:

• Stylised large heads that have a unique factor that give me an idea for a character (some recent examples are Switch Gyoha's nose, mouth and closed eye, Bimong Eva's mature face, and Volks SDM-F-06's waifish face and resemblance to Anais/Tae and Shizu/Madoka)
• A range of static option hands for a body (not a fan of jointed hands)
• Torsos with ribcage, waist or hip joints (I don't like the way underbust joints unnaturally break up the silhouette of the body)
• Bodies in the 58–70cm range (75cm dolls in my crew are supposed to be Unnaturally Tall: I don't need any more characters of that height at present)

 

For me it’s Pipos. They are the company that got me into BJDs with Baha and Heero. I am tempted by every cat doll they release.

 

Resinsoul! They have so many cuties and I love how they keep improving their construction. I just wish I had the space for more

 

I really like dream Valley dolls. but damn I cant buy more dolls

 

Bardo Research. I'm typically not into girl dolls, but I like practically all of her females, both head sculpts and bodies. They're so charming, and I adore how articulated yet graceful the doll bodies are - I'd love to handle one of her fashion dolls someday!

Every time BR announces a preorder I get tempted, but then I remember that I did in fact have one of her dolls, but sold her because she was far too small for me. I'm a strictly 1/3 collector, so I feel both relieved and regretful that BR's dolls are all 18-40cm... But she recently made her first male BJD, and if she makes more of them, I might end up caving and try again to add a BR doll to my collection...
