Buying a doll you thought you would never buy

ahah a Volks. cuz they're sooo expensive. and i ended up to snag Hijikata just yesterday ._.

 

I don't like SD sized dolls, since they're just too big for me. However, I ended up buying an SD boy a year or so ago since he just called to me. And he's been demanding a girl ever since, so eventually I'll have two SD dolls.

 

*laugh* ...all of them? But then I stumbled across my first doll, and I figured I'd never get a doll that was smaller. I felt that SD was just right, and went to town getting all the things I could for her.

Well, then the pukis wormed their way into my life. And then it was a LittleFee... quite by accident, I ended up with a MiniFee, who then needed another MNF... at some point, I realized my beautiful SD girl was simply not the right size for me, and she moved on. And then came the PukiFee... honestly, Fairyland ate me.

I recall once thinking I'd never have a Unoa, and now I do. In fact, she's my only NON-Fairyland BJD. And I felt that I'd never get another doll other than her who wasn't Fairyland... but I'm working on trying to get a Soom MD tiny. *laugh* I've just hit the point where I realize that "never" is an outdated and rather useless concept.

Because as much as anyone says "I'll never buy a doll in this size" or "I'll never get another one" or "I'll never buy a doll from this company," that's when Fate strikes and a doll from that company or in that size comes out that makes your heartstrings clench and your purse strings shriek in dismay.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone in the BJD community who's made a "never" statement and actually held true to it!

 

I never wanted any tinies. Couldn't imagine a use for them. Now, my tinies outnumber my larger dolls, almost two to one. Also, I thought Dollshe boys were hideous, but now I really, really want a Dollshe Rosen (in place of the Bermann I know I'll NEVER be able to afford!)

 

I never thought I would even want a Volks doll. When I first started really looking into BJDs, Volks seemed like a company that was hard to get dolls from, was expensive, and was aesthetically displeasing to my newbie eyes. I was really into anime style dolls, like CP sculpted luts...

Oh how wrong I was... I now have an ever growing list of Volks dolls I'd looove to own. One day @____@'';;

 

I wasn't really interested in tinies, but now I have many I truly adore. The Yo/Lati Green size/scale works well for me, and I have a couple slightly smaller ones, too, that I quite like....and, I didn't want a male doll in the least, but now I'm in the process of hybrid-ing my second boy, and I'm really excited to have both in my resin family.

I didn't like the first Pukis, but then I bought a later one...I also wasn't keen on anthro dolls, but then I saw Bao, and purchased one. However, I've since sold both, heh. So perhaps my initial disinterest was a better response to these dolls for my collection.

 

Well, I haven't bought one yet, but the first time I saw pukis, I thought they were weird and unattractive, and I couldn't understand how my sister could think they were so cute.

I'm not sure when it happened exactly, but now I think most of them are just adorable! (and I *will* have a puki Lily, oh yes...)

I thought I wouldn't get a boy until I had at least five girl dolls..
Now my second girl has yet to be ordered and my (bodiless) boy is here already..
He's a Zack Fair Minimee, I couldn't leave him lying around at the MP.

I also thought I'd never get anything smaller than SD sized..
Well, I'm getting a Puki Pipi and a Littlefee Ante some day!

 

I always said, that I want only SD girl dolls , but on some meet I saw MNF Karsh with muscular body, and my whole life of only SD dolls collapsed O_o
next doll I want to buy, will be MiniFee with active line muscular body ;D

 

I never thought I would have male dolls, but now I have two and I love them to pieces! Never say never, I say!

I'd have to say my first doll fits in this category, not because I didn't like the sculpt, more so of the size. I wanted a SD size but I bought her because she fit my budget and I could quickly buy her. I worked out a quick layaway and when she came home I was pretty amazed by her size. She ended up being a lot bigger than I expected. After I had her I wasn't a fan, but after the right wig, right faceup and a back tattoo and body blush she's now one of my favorite dolls. I also never really like tanned dolls. It's been awhile since I bought anything dolly so I started looking at the marketplace and I came across a limhwa tan doll and I was just like I know exactly what to do with her! I'm waiting on my ta return so I can buy her but I have a whole theme and a whole plan for her.

 

Tanned dolls. Thought I'd never want one. That I would stick to the normal and white skin tones. But it seems I like chocolate mini persons more than I expected. xD

 

I never thought I'd buy a Soom Monthly Doll. Though I think they're very original and in most cases beautiful (or cute), I thought they were too expensive and was sure I wouldn't be able to think of anything else to make of them, the fullsets were already way too complete for my tastes. Then along came Ai and Afi, and I fell in love with the little deer. I loved Afi's tan, and I loved the idea of getting a little faun. After a few days I couldn't resist anymore, so I buckled, coughed up the money and got her home.
No regrets
Then along came Chalco and Breccia and I was back to admiring the Soom Monthlies from a distance, because I just didn't feel the need to own them Hopefully (for my wallet) I won't get soomed again!

 

oh yes! The two bigger dolls i have now (Ariana and Caleb), I didn't even like them when I first saw them on their company sites. But after seeing some owner pics or a different face up I was like "Wow!" I just fell in love and I still do now My Ai, Dyani, was love at first site...and now they got the new fox/cat/something which would be great for Luna (at least the parts) ><'' doh

 

Never thought I'd buy any kind of tiny doll, and I'm currently saving for a Pukifee

 

hehe xD we should do a poll about this one.
Seems like many people never thought to buy a doll and then did it.
Well .. me, too xD
I never thought i would like to have a Twiggy Yumi and now i love her to death.
I also never thought to like to have a Pukifee and now i´m going to buy one.
but maybe i shouldn´t be asked cause to be true ..
i never ever thought i would buy any BJD x)
God knows, what i was thinking in those days !

 

Oh yes, totally! I always wanted a boy doll and not a girl doll, and here I am with 3 girls! And I only wanted SD sized, and yet here I am with a tiny! Haha, sometimes, it just happens that way.

 

A doll in general XD, I'm not the doll type at all, I play guitar, and skateboard, not dollies. But here I am, on DoA and saving for dollie #2.

 

I never thought I'd buy a female doll...(I' a yaoi fangirl, so why collecting girls?) Well, the first one arrived last month and I really love her a lot! Now I've ordered some female heads at Leeke's event Also there is an incoming Iplehouse Jessica...*sigh*

Also I never thought I would ever like Volks YoSD Colin - but he kept on staring at me from the pictures of his original box (I've ordered a Colin body for my other boy's head - he stared at me all days with his cute eyes, telling me "please love me! Give me a home!" - and I finally fell so much in love with him, I had to get his head for his body.

 

actually, the first time i saw it, i wasn't a huge fan of the migidoll ryu, even though that mold is so popular! D8
but over time i grew to love that mischievous face more and more till i caved and ordered one in the february sale XD;;;;
