Blog Challenge 18: Least fave company?
And no... its not SOOM, I just needed Magnus is a photo...
I don't like to classify any doll companies as "least favourite" although I am not massive fond of a lot of them - and I don't mean any offence to any one who does like these companies.
I am not a fan of Volks - their dolls have very wide faces and they don't appeal to me at all. I am not a fan of faces with small eyes - there are some faces sculpted by Dollzone which I don't particularly like. But then there are a number of faces sculpted by SOOM that look like someone has slapped them in the face with a wet fish before giving them a large dose of botox.
Some dolls have strange bodies - while I quite like the possibility of ShinyDolls, the missing part of the back of their thighs are just too icky.
I also really dislike faces that look too much like babies - like LTF Bisous... those faces given me the shakes, as do those with their eyes too far apart like the PKF/LTF Icis and Flora.
I don't like the overly bulky body or humanoid faces that make up the Iplehouse lines (or at least, not anymore... my taste has matured).
I suppose the majority of my dislike of companies is more in the style and construction of their sculpts rather than the company itself.

I'm not looking to this question myself... how can you say you don't like a whole company?! There are so, so many I've not even seen a doll from IRL. I think there are several doll companies that don't do dolls to the style I like, though I haven't spent a long time thinking about what that actually is. I should get back to the blogging so I have to think about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Seth is most upset that you said his son gives you the shakes XD But I kind of know what you mean, they're a very young looking doll for the size.
There are a few I couldn't really ever seen myself buying from... but then there are details that I don't like, not companies themselves.
ReplyDeleteAlfie is fine - he doesn't give me the shakes... but I have seen a lot of ugly Bisous...
Oh yeah, I think most companies I probably wont buy from, unless my tastes drastically change. Doesn't mean I don't like them :D
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.. someone once said awww, I love how they look like they've had a traumatic birth... I think that gave ME the shivers!
Yeah, exactly - and there are some companies I don't even like... lol.
ReplyDeleteOh ick. That is terrible!
