I don't own one, but I saw one at a meetup, and if I hadn't recognised the face, I would not have even known it was a Dollzone. They seem to be as good quality as any other company, and quite honestly, he held poses better than my luts boy. D:

The only actual bad thing I've heard about thim is the copy-issue from long ago. Most of the bad things about DZ dolls are the faults of the owners, not the doll itself. >x>;’

I second this.

If you like the doll then get it. I have yet to hear anything really bad about the actual quality and yet to hear anything really bad about their customer service/shipping times. And those are the big things to worry about if something bad has been said about a company. So there isn't much to worry about when it comes to dollzone. I say go for it. Mo is adorable. *wants one someday*

I have a DZ Frilen and I love her. She's prefect and seemless. Wonderful little dolly.

DZ dolls aren't bad if they are the only doll you own. Personally, I dislike them -- there are a lot of issues with the eyewells, also.

My ex owns a Cherry, and I must say, her body feels very...'barbie' like to me -- very light and not as substantial as I am used to. I wasn't pleased with the 'feel' of the doll, nor with the quality of resin D: We spent a good two hours sanding her eyewells to get the eyes to fit properly too >F

Each time I see a DZ doll, I feel the same way. Also, the big boy's body is very clearly a copy off of Volks' Yukinojo body D: D: D: Piratical! *coughs* I can say that, having held both in my hands. =_=;;;

Are you sure that you didn't just have the wrong size eyes for the head? I've fiddled with many DZ dolls in person and none have had anything wrong with the eye wells. That and I've held DZ minis at the same time as Little fair and and SD cute and suprizingly there wasn't all that much of a difference in weight. A friend of mine out here has a Megi and his resin has a really nice finish and doesn't feel like plastic or vinyl like a barbie does.

I had been pondering getting an Elf Wing myself, I like the tall fellows, I haven't gotten to see any in person though so I wouldn't know how the resin is, they do look pretty though.

I own a wing. He is absolutely amazing. And I don't want to get in a fight or anything but when you see him and Yukinojo together in person they are obviously not copies... but I won't get into that.

He posed like a dream right out of the box and his resin is a very nice color (I have a NS) and the body is my favorite of the 70cm range, not too skinny and an amazing amount of detail. The only problem I have with him is trying to find shoes to fit his feet. Everything is way too big or too small, but I make do. He also makes a lot of noise, popping and creaking when you pose him, he's my only big doll (I only have MSDs other than him) so I don't know if this is usual or not, but it scared me at first.

If anyone wants pictures just ask ^^

They are very tall. I don't own one but my best friend's doll has a boyfriend that DZ Wing. The guy goes up to my hip. (Note: very short person 157 cm ^^ wink . He poses very well but he has a wonky chest joint. This could just the doll that I seen. So when you dressing him it looks like he's trying to back flip away from you.

Everyone has problems with the chest joint, it pops out frequently but after a while of owning him you learn how to pop it back with little trouble (I find my Narin to be a lot more angering) If the strings in his legs are twisted his thighs will spin around a lot too, also frustrating because then the locking joints that are supposed to go in his thighs are out and preventing any sort of posing -_- so I do suppose you need a little bit of patience with him.
