A Small Collection or a Big One?

Jun 11, 2012

    1. I only have 2 bjds, but I probably have 150-200 other types of dolls. I feel like I'm getting too many dolls, and I would like to focus more on acquiring things for the dolls, such as costumes and wigs. I think I would like at least one more bjd. I'm starting to decide quality is much better than quantity.
       
    2. When all my heads get bodies I should have around 10. That feels like a lot to me personally so I'll probably stop after that. I really can't imagine being one of those people who have a single type of object cluttered all over their living space. That just seems like a fire hazard to me.
       
    3. For now, since I don't have a a lot of money, I can't afford a big collection ; but I would love to have about ten dolls, that would be amazing ! Sooo, I'd love a big collection, even if I only have small now^^
       
    4. I admire dolls over 60 CM, for now my collection is between Iplehouse EID & SID size, 6 dolls and my eye is on another one hopefully soon, I think it's a doll hobby nature is to try to have all the dolls you like, so I guess no matter what you will do to keep your collection small it will grow again somehow :) specially for some people like me I don't sell my dolls to get new one or because I got bored of them so eventually I think my collection will be big
       
    5. I just want all the dolls on my wishlist then I will be happy so all together I think thats about 50 dolls so I'm not sure if that is to big but its what I want ^ ^
       
    6. back when I started I was repulsed by large collections. I wanted 4 at most. I'm now at 6, and I want 10 at least. But the idea of having 10 or more makes me feel sick. So I have no idea what I am going to do. :,(
       
    7. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?

      i would like to keep my collection small :)

      How many dolls would you determine as little or a lot?
      anything above 20 is a lot and below is little :)
       
    8. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?
      Small as I don't have space for a big collection (especially at SD sizes and upwards)

      How many dolls would you determine as a little or a lot?
      In terms of cost per a doll. More than 5 dolls would be a lot. I don't think I would go above 4 as that would take up at least two shelves.
       
    9. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?
      I have to say big because I have about 15 dolls yet :)

      How many dolls would you determine as a little or a lot?
      between 1 to 5 doll it'a little
      after it's a lot (considering the price, wig and outfit)
       
    10. Well, in June of 2012 I had 19. Now? 25. And I am saving up for 2 more *head desk*. Latest addition was from Dollism 2014 and was an unplanned purchase but the opportunity to have him was too good to pass up. I truly believe that if somebody way back when I bought my first doll told me that a half dozen years into the hobby I'd own over 2 dozen of the little wallet vampires, I'd have laughed myself silly and asked them what they'd been smoking.
       
    11. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?
      Right now my collection is VERY small (just one doll and a head XD) but I can't see it staying that way. I'd love to have a bigger collection and have so many characters to shell > . <

      How many dolls would you determine as little or a lot?
      Hmmm, I think I'd say less than 8 would be a small collection and then over 15 for a big large collection. I guess that means 8 - 14 is an average collection? However, I think it also depends on the size of the dolls; I think SDs can make a collection big quite quickly XD
       
    12. I want to keep my collection small. Only up to 5 max. That will limit how much I spend. lol. Having a large collection will only remind me how much I've spent.
       
    13. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big
      small because i cant really afford all the dolls i want cause there's like 800 dolls i want and counting :XD:
      How many dolls would you determine as little or a lot?
      umm 10 i guess would be a little :)
       
    14. I have a large collection of resin bjds - 71 so far. I would like to reduce this to maybe 50, not sure yet. I can't seem to decide which should go and which should stay LOL.
       
    15. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?
      Medium maybe? I have 8 at the moment, will be 10 by next week since I have two incoming. I also have two floating heads, so when they have bodies I'll be at 12. I can see myself ending up around 18-20 maybe, but over 20... I don't know. I don't really set limits or rules for myself with this hobby though (except the obvious economical ones), so we'll see where it goes :)
      Edit: gave it some thought adding up the ones on the top of my wishlist... I guess I'll end up somewhere at the 25 mark :sweat

      How many dolls would you determine as little or a lot?
      A little, I'd say under five, many would be 20+ and a lot 30+. Depends on the size though, 25 80cm dolls or 25 tinies doesn't seem like the same amount due to the difference in space taken up.
       
    16. As of now, I already have 4 characters [though, I don't really think they can be called even that, seeing as I only have the faintest idea as to how they would be] that I want to resinized, and there'd probably be more in the future. x'D
      So, I guess personally, I'm planning on just having around a collection that doesn't exceed more than 20 dolls, though, I don't really know just how many I'd actually get in reality.
      The 'just right' amount of doll collection for me is probably around 10-15. A big collection is having 20+ dolls, and a small collection is having less than 10 dolls. That's only for me, though. c:
       
    17. I plan on keeping my doll collection small from here on in. I own other dolls that are not bjds that taking up too much space as it is. In order to make room for any bjd, I will have to downsize. A big collection for me would be five or more dolls. I think given how many dolls I have in total any thing over two would be large. *_* A small collection would consist of two dolls. But this is a criteria I base on myself, keeping in mind the space I have at home, not to mention my funds.
       
    18. I think I'm gonna keep my collection pretty small- for now. ;)
       
    19. I'm planning on keeping my doll collection small at the moment, I have ordered a SDC and a SD, and I'm planning on putting money aside for when a male doll comes out that I like. I might get a DD, or see another doll I like but I'm planning on keeping it 5 dolls or under.
       
    20. Do you plan to keep your BJD collection small or big?
      Well... it's already pretty... darn... big... so the harm is already done, in a sense... https://www.flickr.com/photos/soenatte/15608211566/ //cough/ 15 dolls, 13 heads -two of which are awaiting a body-, 6 dolls on order -with a seventh planned to be put on order asap-, 3 heads on order and another 2 that are out getting modded... Plus 13 dolls in the wishlist (11 + 2 characters I'd like to have that I haven't found shells for). So the total tally? 52...

      How many dolls would you determine as little or a lot?
      The way I see it is 1-10 dolls make a small collection, 10-20 would be a moderate one, 20-30 is getting a bit much... Anything over 30 is A LOT.
