Can she make you cry ? (Your Perfect Doll)

Apr 6, 2010

    1. I've only cried over two dolls. One I own, the other I lost the auction to. The first time I cried over was my first doll ever, my Angell Studio Adam. I had been tied on either him or the 70cm Angell Studio MIX-Black to be my first doll since I loved they way their make-up was. But I went with Adam because he was smaller, SD13. I am so glad I made that choice. He was just perfect for me. A soft, yet elegant face-up that shows his blue eyes well, pale rather fragile resin that almost feels like porcelain, and his hands were just crafted into such a pretty way... I was crying so much when I first opened him to see how beautiful he was in person. He was the perfect doll in my eyes. Even then, I did get the MIX-Black doll so it wasn't like I had to choose one or the other and lose the chance to own them both. But, even though Adam now has some scratches in his beautiful face-up, he is still perfect in my eyes.

      The second one I cried for was a LE Volks Raffle Ryu MSD boy... Someone was selling him in a full set and he caught my eye right away. He was so cute and had a visual kei outfit. I had always wanted a visual doll so I put in my auction bid for him. Sadly, in the last few seconds, this lady outbid me and everyone else for the other dolls that person was selling... She bought 5 Volks limited dolls in one day. =3= I kept saying that it wasn't fair to let her win that many dolls in one go and kept wondering how in the world did she have over $6,000 just laying around. But I know I'll never find him again, so I tossed all my thoughts of bringing him home long ago when I first lost him months ago. :C

      I almost cried over 2 other dolls though. One was my Abio Angel Yi, Ren. I never thought I'd get one home but I was wrong. I was so happy to see him come home and he was perfect for Ren's character. The second was Naoki... my LE Luts/CP Redemption the Moon... I wasn't in near tears for him being perfect though... It was because of how bad of a condition he was in. I just felt so bad for him. So he's been my overly large project to fix him and make him perfect once again.
       
    2. omg >.> this happened to me when i discovered Migidoll Ryu, i have him with me right now and it still happens xDD
       
    3. It wasn't so nuts that I felt teary about it, because I'm naturally just not moved like that, but I've felt an incredible click with a specific male doll I talk about constantly- even though he isn't very beautiful to some of my friends, he is to me. I love that feeling, it's awesome. <3
       
    4. There's one doll that I have loved for years but his size scared me. I used to look at pictures of him nearly every day. When he was discontinued it felt like my heart sank. And then I found one for sale second hand. He's here now and he's my perfect doll. I'm not one for crying but everyday I say to myself "I finally got my Jace" and I grin from ear to ear. If something terrible happened to him, I'd certainly cry.
       
    5. I don't really do the whole teary/crying thing when I'm moved. However, I get moments where it feels like I was just punched in the chest, and it's difficult to draw breath. That happened recently with me when I ran across Soom Rhodo. And now he mocks me, because he fits absolutely none of my characters, and isn't even quite the feel I'm looking for for my collection (he's a little too doll-y in the face, which totally sounds crazy I'm sure) but I haven't closed the tab I found him in since I did so. And I will just stare at it whenever the opportunity presents itself.
       
    6. Made me cry? No. But when I first saw the LeekeWorld Luke, it was like falling in love at first sight. I felt so strange inside... and happy. Incredibly happy. Not because I knew I'd buy him, I really didn't have enough money, but simply because such a cute thing existed and I could admire pictures of him on the internet, and because he looked exactly like one of my characters. I decided the same day that I'd definitely buy him during the christmas event 2010 ('cuz Leeke have nice events). That was in october 2009. And I'll buy him as soon as the Christmas event starts.

      I bought 2 others dolls since, because of events and such, and I love them both. Especially my Ryu, I think he's perfect, but... I didn't fall in love with him at first sight. The difference is probably that I really looooove the Luke's official customisation and that he represented an existing character of mine that I love, while for the Ryu it took me time to find THE perfect customisation and I invented his character after I fell in love with the mold. Really, no other doll had the same effect on me thant the Luke. It's really hard for me to wait 'til Christmas. But I want my promotional gift. :P
       
    7. I don't know about cry but I love a sculpt so much that its basically painful, despite the fact that it'll be considerably more difficult to attain than a standard release doll. But seriously, its complete mental occupation, I can't even explain it xD I'm weird in that way, once I really fall hard for something (not just doll wise, anything, even things like...books >.<) they totally take over my mind. Unless there are a few things on my mind at once...then they take turns ^^
       
    8. Anikaze: I'm totally like that too. Like, I can spend the whole night watching a drama, reading a book, looking at dolls pictures even if I have school (or work) the day after. According to some American doctor, that would be a kind of attention-deficit. To me it's... passion (and sleep disorders, lol). I'd find life sad without passion.
       
    9. I don't even have my biggest Dream Dollie yet, and I'm already crying. I just sold a modded tiny and I have juuuuust enough money to bring my RS Dan, Stain, home. I was feeling depressed yesterday in drawing class because I didn't have her, and decided to put my Midna mod up for sale to see if I could finance her. She sold within 6 hours. I'm so happy, I'll finally get my Mini-Me! *tears*
       
    10. Yes I've had that experience more then once to be quite honest All the time I hate it T_T I don't have my first doll yet.
       
    11. I got a bit teary when I opened my IH Benny. She is the prefect representation of my most beloved original character. It was just so fantastic seeing her in resin form for the first time!
       
    12. a few times actually. Unfourtunatly all four that have done that for me are sold out so I try not to get attached. the one that is perfect I'm currently makeing it has taken a lot of custom work but when shes done I'll probably cry. She isnt for me though shes for my freind and its a surprise.
       
    13. My first BJD didn't quite make me cry, but I did spazz out XD I knew she was perfect from the first moment I saw her!
       
    14. I want a Volks Suigintou Fullset so badly, it hurts... But I know I'll never have her. She is my absolute one true dream doll, despite going against everything I'd want in a doll (She's an SD, a fullset character doll, a Volks, and over $800, all of which are things I try to stay away from...)
      I also think Pan, my first doll, has made me cry a couple times XD just because I get so inspired when I think about her being complete...
       
    15. Actualy, I believe that when you cry really hard over a doll that she or he is the One for you. I did this twice within two weeks and the latter one made me ball like a newborn because she just had the potential to be the character I always envisioned her to be. I went through wanting a Volks Dollfie Dream Dynamite to a Dream of Doll Calla to a Dollmore Glamor Eve to another Dollmore Ipsae LE bust girl to a Dollmore Chami and finally a Dollmore LE Asha with white resin. Only the final one made me cry and buy her. But I'm a very emotional person, so seeing the right doll after seven years of wanting one is worth a couple of hours of balling like a baby to me.
       
    16. The perfect doll for me is Unoa Lusis 1.5. She is funny, beautiful and body perfect. I have only a head now, but I'm in love with the idea to buy one complete. I thought in hybrids firts, but the original body is remarkably proportional.
       
    17. I didn't cry when I found my perfect doll, but my hands did start shaking when I saw a FS thread in the marketplace as I typed a PM to her original owner, so still a very emotional moment/attachment.
       
    18. I thought "Hey this girl looks pretty cool" course it was a Yuu-2 doll from DZ and whatdyaknow?! That's a dude.
      So... my reaction? I laughed. That's my character's face right there. That smirk of his.
       
    19. The first doll I ever fell in love with, even before I knew what she was, was Soom MD Amber - Pure spirit. It was loong after she was sold out ^^'
      Now I have tried to get one for myself, but wow the price she is going for right now D:

      I have a friend who have an Amber, and she wasn't really bonding with her, so I was fast! But she wanted $2300 for her .__. And I couldn't pay that AT ALL! So I said I was willing to pay $1600 for her.. My friend wasn't really happy with that x'D But after two weeks she said to me that I could buy her Amber for my price!!! I was SO HAPPY! I nearly died because I couldn't breathe, I danced, I screamed, I did everything my happyness told me to do! ^_^
      Now my looong layaway is soon over! I will be getting her home in a couple of weeks! 8D I'm SURE I'm gonna cry x'D I tend to that really easy though...

      I also cryied when my charecter for my RS mei was done. I cry a lot! ^_^''
       
    20. I'm not the teary and crying sort, the most well "teary" movies can only make me sad, but tears, nah.
      (That happened to me with Amber as well, I started drooling over her but she was sold out, and I didn't know about DoA then so I gave up.)
      The well "third" (I loved Ai and Amber before) doll that I saw that made my eyes wide and my brain process the sentence "Buy her." is my first doll, a SOOM Minette. XD She combines a lot of things that I adore, SOOM dolls, MDs, BJDs, and horses/unicorns. But sadly I didn't have enough funds to get her horse parts, but her face. Damn her face is just so sweet and perfect <333 But the first time I'm nearly close to tears was when I opened her box. Because of bad shipping from EMS and my driver forgetting to bring her back, I had to wait about 4 days after she arrived in my city to receive her. At that point my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. :aheartbea
