1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Am I the only one that thinks 1 BJD is enough?

May 30, 2013

    1. Nope I want lots.
       
    2. I told myself 1 doll was enough.

      3 dolls later...
       
    3. well, I'm waiting for my first doll now, and I see myself being happy with just her for a long time. I have one more doll I'll probably get, but she can wait a while.
       
    4. I'd like to at least have a pair--a boy and a girl. Eventually I'd love to have a Dolfie Dream and also one of the msd anthros from Dear Mine. But as long as I at least have my pair I'll be happy :)
       
    5. That sounds like me,even though I don't have that many yet. I started out thinking I was just going to buy one doll,but I keep seeing different sculpts I want. Every time I think my collection's complete I'll see a new doll I want to add to my family.
       
    6. i do think one is enough..... i just can' help wanting more XD
       
    7. A doll a month! Wow, I am very impressed (also jealous!) :D It must be great always having a new doll on the way!
       
    8. I have over 80, and waiting for more. I wish I could have been satisified with just one or two!
       
    9. I ordered my second doll before my first even arrived :D I've got 6 so far, and at least 4 more that I really want. Personally, I can't see having dozens at a time, but we'll see what happens after a lifetime of collecting. My buying is slowing down, though.
       
    10. I have 1 BJD so far for the past 6 months, even though I am trying to get my second one. They will be the only ones I will have in possessions
       
    11. Me too! In fact the first doll I ordered will be the last to arrive, as the two boys were in stock on MoC. I think I still have another month or so on my poor DELF girl.
       
    12. My jaw literally dropped after reading "80" that's amazing I envy you :fangirl:
       
    13. Yes. Even though there is one doll in particular I want, which is the first doll I ever wanted (before my Rin)... I am happy with just Rin. Of course, I'd use the male dolly as a fashion doll just as I do with Rin... but I have a weird feeling and belief that dolls can have souls... And doll jealousy is frightening. I feel the same as well. I want to spoil my doll and make her look stunning. I would probably get a more mature looking body for her, but at the same time... I'm flat-chested... I don't think it would matter. Plus... I have another hobby which is similar to lolita, but slightly different. I'm also a student and money is tight as it is. I'm not even trying to get a pet right now.
       
    14. One can definitely be enough, I know plenty of people who are happy owning a single doll and sometimes I wish I was like them or like the people with the tiny collections of two, three dolls maximum. However I find I'm not that kind of person. I love a lot of dolls and admire a lot of sculptors which makes me want to own the dolls they come up with. I'm also comfortable with all sorts of sizes (as long as they aren't smaller than sixteen centimetres) so that doesn't help narrow my collection at all. I love anime-like dolls like Dollfie Dreams and the animation versions Luts has come out with as well as realistic faces like Immortality of Soul and Iplehouse... in other words I'm literally all over the place! My wishlist tallies up to another thirty dolls too... even though a collection larger than 20-25 dolls terrifies me at my current standing. I'm by no means rich and saving up for a single doll often takes up to half a year -especially when it comes to SD-sized ones that cost an arm and a leg- and yet I never think of the expense as the amount of joy and happiness these dolls bring me is literally priceless.
       
    15. Hmmm hard questionn, i like a lot of BJDs but is a fackt that i prefer just one of them! the others does not have such an important place in my heart as the Iplehouse Mars
       
    16. My sister has just one, and she's perfectly content. There are many advantages: you save a ton of money, you don't have to worry about finding space, and you can buy a more extensive wardrobe since you're not having to spread your money over many different dolls.

      I have the flip side of the coin: I've got more than one and planning to get more. Neither way is wrong or right; it's all about what you want to do!
       
    17. I'd love to be happy with just one, but I've gotten my collection down to five and I find I can't choose between them. I'm hoping that experience will win out over any impulse to buy more dolls. I don't enjoy having a lot of them.
       
    18. When you put it that way, I'm really sad I want more than one doll! I wish I felt content with one doll. I hope to keep my collection to 5 or less though.
       
    19. I have one and I'm pretty sure it's going to stay that way. It's been about a year since I got her and she was really purchased to be a model/size form for knitting. I can't swear that I'll only ever have one because I don't know what's going to happen in the future. If anyone ever makes a doll that exactly matches the ideal in my head, I'll get it. Until someone comes up with that perfect doll, I'm ok with just the one.
       
    20. I am very young as well, 18 (almost 19!). I think I bought my "first BJD" when I was 14, however there were some...complications. Technically, this doll was not a real BJD, so I didn't really count it? I wanted to have the full BJD experience so I ordered my first BJD from a company when I was 15, and it was so exciting! I thought I would be done then. My Dollzone Chen came to me and I was feeling content.

      But then Soom MD Chrom was released. When he was first revealed, I saw the price tag and just about fainted. But I HAD to have him. I thought I was content with one, but I soon realized I wasn't. For Christmas that year, I convinced my mother to pay for half of my Soom MD Chrom, if I could even call him that. He just has the MD head and a human body, but it was still way too much for me to pay all myself at the age of 15. I was safe for a few more months. Until someone listed a DOC Petsha in the marketplace. Great. I fell in love with her around my 16th birthday, but I couldn't afford her. My mother went behind my back and bought her for me by surprise!! So I didn't even willingly keep adding to my family...it just happened! Lol.

      And now, there is a new Luts doll...it has been so long since I've wanted a BJD, but I think I will have to add him as well. Every time you think you're safe, something beautiful comes out that you have to have! I think its just a matter of time until you fall in love with another sculpt and find yourself bringing it home :)
