"Breaking the Mold" or, loving what you thought you wouldn't.

I thought "looks kinda creepy" -- followed by hmmm interesting --- followed by really unusual....followed by "don't see those everyday" ... followed by "might be neat to own" -- followed by "got to have one" You see where this is going. I'm all over the map -- with thinking stick with MSD size, no maybe SD, no maybe the minis. I'm never going to say never, because people say "they grow on you" They certainly do. I'm new to bjds and if I had the money, I'd probably be ordering them monthly! As it is, my wishlist just keeps growing. I keep rearranging it (but I can't bring myself to remove any doll).

 

I'm not running on many of the rules I set for myself... Mostly because of me breaking the first one (only one)...

Darn Lirael.

No clothes over 25 bucks: Well, isn't that the most adorable outfit for 40? Wouldn't Lirael look stunning in it..... Yep, paid.

No shoes over 20 bucks: Well, what do you know? Those Luts shoes are wicked cute and fit her character so.... paid. 30 bucks... Freaking...

No boys!-.... As soon as Fairyland does the LTF a'la' carte system? Broken. Hello, Mistoph!

I'm totally screwed... *sigh* At least I'm enjoying it, right?

 

I keep having any "not gonna" ideas shattered in quite unexpected ways so you know what.....?


I'm not going to be close minded about anything BJD related.


There!

Problem solved! *stalks away cursing the beauty of the resin world*

 

I was always complaining about how ugly and stupid were the unoa boys for me... they didn't seemed humans for me.
AND "no fur wigs nor acrylic eyes"
Now I have a L-bi, with fur wig, acrylic eyes, and character being a stupid alien, he is one of my favourite dolls
And I said "no more MSDs" so Louwe (my L-bi) broke lot of things I said!

Also, I really shouted scared about how horrible the new dollshe body was... like and android, no human, no realistic, almost deformed.
...Yeah, perfect for my character... who is suppossed to be a shadow itself
I have one on the way... and looking again the pics I even like that body

 

I initially didn't like Unoa's very much...especially Lusis! Then I began looking at all kinds of pictures and seeing how beautiful and what great quality they are. So there I go and buy what as my first doll? A Unoa Lusis! Totally surprised me in every way. I'm waiting for her in the mail now.

 

Ha!

1. No twins.
I wanted only one BJD . Haha...yeah. But now I'm planning on getting twins~
2. No girl BJDs.
I wanted a boy BJD at first but now I'm planning on getting two girl BJDs . Well, I'm indecisive...But most likely !
3. Get a SD!
Zaolls aren't really SD sized . In my eyes, closer to MSD but oh welllll, it doesn't matter !

 

The three stages (thus far):
PRE-DOLLY
- Those BJDs are pretty but wa~y too expensive. No way I'm spending that kind of money on a doll.
- Why on Earth would you need more than one?
- HOW much are those clothes/wigs/shoes/etc?!
- There's not a lot of selection. I don't see any I really like (at this point I only knew about Luts and Volks).
- They're too much work/too much to worry about. ;P

Fast-forward a year or to to January 2009, and...
THE FIRST ONE
- One's all I need.
- I'll buy may~be an outfit or two, but I'm going to learn to sew and make all her clothes myself (ha...hahaha...HAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah...)
- Two pairs of shoes is plenty! (*see above brackets*)
- Dreaming heads? Yuck. Who wants a doll that looks half asleep/stoned?
- That Doll-Zone Fenyo sculpt is so blah and ugly. Who would even want that?
- Doll-Zone only, plzkthx.

Four months later and...
NOW
- I have three dolly girls, one of which is a MNF ShuShu and another of which is my Fenyo girl Mina, who I love to pieces.
- I've sewn (from scratch) one pair of pj pants, a skirt, a pair of mitts and a pair of boots
- The number of outfits and footwear I've purchased for them? Er...let's maybe not go there, 'k?
- I just want to get ONE MORE! Honest!

 

Mmm... lets see:

Never a boy (yes sure... my first in Lay Away right now is a boy)

Never in the life a mini (Right now, i kinda like them, eying a lot a Fairydoll Pukifee, especially a little someone name Shiwoo)

Never over 60cm (OK, well, the boy in Lay Away, a big one, over 70cm)

So, i think is better to erase the word "never", because i ended loving all i think i never like

jajaja, funy!!!

 

Posted in this once, but I think this thread is kinda fun:

No more than my main four characters
Yeah, uh, I think I beat that by about 11 dolls now.

Only one storyline set of dolls
Yeah, Ace broke that one completely.

No non-preexisting characters
Huck, then Noelle, then Alex that got written into Ace's group, and finally Dali.

Only one tiny
Dali won me over. She's probably the only Yo that's grabbed me enough to really want to own.

No replacing dolls
Well, I didn't sell my first Coal, but he did get replaced. It worked out, but I don't really know what to do with my original boy yet.

No minis
Not yet, but I think once I'm done with SDs I really want a couple of cute mini sized dolls.

I kinda gave up on any actual rules a long time ago actually, it's just fun to see what comes up that I hadn't planned on previously.

 

Nothing Bellow SD sized, everything else is just TO SMALL! ....i have a MSD on the way, and an off topic 1/6 girl at home...^^;;; yeah....

Ok, so thats fine but NO TINIES! None, to small, way to small! ....I've been eyeing a few Pukis....i have another boy i have to get before i work on the others on my list but...I have like five diffrent pukis i need. Not want, need!

 

lol I've pretty much broken every guideline I made for myself!
No muscular dolls! My DOI is kinda muscular, and I am extremley tempted to buy and Iplehouse EID.
No dolls smaller than SD! I have been craving for a Yo-SD since February.

Oh gosh, I'm a wreck, lol~

 

I never thought I would love boy dolls, but I find myself more and more attracted to them.
Being able to afford them is another matter entirely though.
I wouldn't be able to branch out into them unless I decided I liked them *more* than my girl/elf dolls that I currently have, and that probably won't happen... but still I was never remotely interested in them before! XD

Raven

 

I never thought I'd like the rugged manly man dolls, but I came across one today and thought it was pretty handsome. It even had facial hair! Lol.

 

Fur wigs of any kind
more than one girl
anything smaller than an MSD
any of the male SOOM Molds
~~~

The first wig for my MSD (Tender TOO) was a fur wig... Now I've got another girl on layaway.. and she's a TINY. I used to not like any of the male SOOM models.. I really thought they were ugly. But after checking out some of the Sabiks' on doA and the varied looks of them all, made me fall in love with them. Now I want a Sabik. He's next on my list, (after I get Sraphim paid for. ><;;...)

 

I really, really wanted a boy doll for my first doll but now I'm seriously considering getting a girl instead.

 

My Doll "Rules"

Only one doll (more than that is excessive)! I had only one for the first 2 years of the hobby! But... I now have five and plans for... NINE?! Lord help me...

Only SDs (60cm is the size I fell in love with)! Hahaha... I not only have a lati-yellow and YoSD but have plans for a slim MSD.

Absolutely NO tinies (I love big dogs, guys, dolls)! I don't know what happened with that... because now I have two!

No Girls (Just dress up the boys?)! Not only do I have a girl, but a tiny girl at that. And I adore her!

No Volks (child-like faces aren't my style)! I want a School C head SO bad!

No Limiteds (too expensive and I'd chance their looks anyways)! I now have a Souldoll Jinwoo and a Pipos Alice Jr...

Needless to say I didn't know what I was talking about when I started this hobby.

 

I originally wanted an SDF Dion when it cam out again but they sold out in a matter of seconds, so when I got back from school, I was so upset, and said to myself, "...I DON'T FEEL LIKE WAITING ANYMORE!! D: ", so I bought a CD SW Limited Lance instead... I'm not really sure why I wanted him (maybe cause he was pretty...but---...) , I absolutely love LOVE LOOOOVE him now! so happy I got him :3

 

No tinies over $100. Pft, yeah, that's gone now... Currently have a Curo on layaway in the marketplace. And I'm still wanting a Bao.

Only getting the two planned MSDs, no more afterward, too small. HAHAHAHAHAHAhaha... haha... ha... ... RIGHT! Decided to get a "project" doll and now I have Shroedinger, a heavily modded WS Bobobie Tony. I also have a MSD MNM Rubiana cat head.

No limiteds, too expensive. Broke that one as soon as I saw actual owner pics of Beryl... Now I have Beryl, Sabik, Sard, and Heliot on my wish list.

No dolls where I have to send them out for mods for the char I want. I'm in a GO for a Brooklyn MNM head and once I get a body for him later, he's getting sent out for feet and hand mods and possibly wing and/or tail mods.

 

Well... things changed a little from the last time I posted.

I swore I would never buy an SD because I don't like how big and heavy they are. I also swore I'd never buy an elf because I didn't like their ears.

FAIL on both accounts, on the SAME DOLL.

A friend was selling her SD Elf Chiwoo and he sorta... ended up coming home with me. So my BJD collection has expanded into SDs, and Tristan (my Chiwoo) has demanded a girl so I will eventually have two SDs. FTW?

 

I'm pleasantly surprised the "No dolls under SD sized" one is so common. I was starting to think I was a bit of a weirdo.

I keep looking at pukis...and they keep looking at me with their huge, adorable eyes. ;_;
