Favorite doll Companies

@ChrisFhey Are you using an old link?
I haven't shopped there since before the pandemic/suspension of some mail services, so I can't help much. But just before that, it's been no problem. And they are still active.

I'm using this one: https://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/home.phtml

Once I go to a detail page for any product (e.g.: https://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=dan01_5 ), none of the product images seem to work for me.
So that's why I was wondering if something was up with their shop.

Edit: As I said that I figured out what's going on. I'm using the HTTPS everywhere plugin for my browser, and it seems that Coolcat does not support HTTPS in the sense that their image host doesn't show images on a HTTPS connection. If I disable it for their site, I can see the images again.

I adore Cotin Doll!!! I didn't see them mentioned but their wigs are top notch, like next level quality and packaging.

Each wig style has a chibi mascot character, and the wig comes on a silver ball instead of being stuffed with tissue. The only downside at the moment is that shipping can be really expensive. If you order a few items, you'll get away with $20 to the US, but more than a couple of wigs you'll have to pay $45. They seem to only have two box sizes.

I also really like Fabric Friends and Dolls. The owner is super sweet and they have an awesome selection of stuff, they carry clothes for dolls of all sizes. And shipping is fast too. Plus, if you want to buy a Smart Doll, she does layaway for them and can get you ones that are not on her site.

Thanks for posting that. They have a wig that is perfect for a custom I want to make. 
 

This one: 

 

All I need to do is trim the side tails, and it’s as close as I’m likely to get without having a custom wig made.

My Mika Jougasaki is finally coming home.

Oooh it does look like the Mika hair! I'm glad I could help!

T.C. Doll's international site is down until July 2

Although they are primarily a BJD company, BJDivas (bjdivas.com) does carry Granado Vindolls. They have long layaways, too. If they represent a company you like, and you don't see what you want on their site, you can go direct to the manufacturer, pick out what you want, and then ask Divas if they can get it for you. 

I will add that they have been plagued by health issues, a fire in their office building that forced them to move around a few times, and a few other issues - so there are some dissatisfied customers around. However, I've always had nothing but good results working with them. 

Also - are these recommendations for vinyl and resin dolls? For example, I looked up Sadoll, and those appear to be primarily resin BJDs - unless I am not understanding what I'm looking at.

Some companies that make doll clothing that fits DD sized dolls, make those clothes for their own resin lines. 

I usually buy my littler dolls off Amazon dot JP, but for my two biggest girls (Haruka and Uzuki), I went to the Volks USA page (for Haruka) and the Volks International page (Uzuki). 

 

Plus, a few of Haruka's outfits and accessories were bought off of Etsy, but her frilly dress and shoes were from Alice's Collections.

Vish...tough. I had recently discovered so manny small brands of dolls, but big in quality that i like. Gonna name a few in here together with my big faves:

Volks (fore sure!), Fairyland, Granado, IOS, lplehouse, Loong Soul, RingDoll, Lutz, Lillycat Dolls, Atelier Momoni, Bimong, Harucasting, Frappzilla studio, Morningstar Dolls, Duas Maos Dolls, Argonautica, Miracle Doll, Faewoods dolls, Creature dolls, Dodollsdream, Dollzone...

This is such a comprehensive list THANK YOUU!! I didn’t know half these websites even existed 😭♥️

I only buy from Volks, for the 4 dolls that I had.
Initially bought in the idea of Smart Doll, but turns out its not mechanical "Smart" type of android. So gave up on it

Azone and volks!
