Can she make you cry ? (Your Perfect Doll)

I don't cry, I'm not a crying person because feelings are for sissies (I'm kidding) but I always get really hyper and giddy when my doll arrives

 

Cried over this secondhand doll I got, just because--even with her yellowing and nicks, she was so beautiful. It was a really symbolic moment. And, I agree that not all tears are shed in (extreme) sorrow. When any sort of art moves me, I cry. I've cried over songs, scenes in movies, poems, scenes in novels (and comics!)... I know I was even in this contemporary art gallery and cried over this piece that was nothing more than a clear plastic tarp clinging onto the wall by brown masking tape. I cry over things that move me. My characters, my dolls, are completely capable of moving me as well.

 

If this is the girl I think you're talking about, she was one of my friends. Her girl and my boy were in the process of sending photo responses back and forth, so, yes, it was VERY emotional and yes, I did cry for her and her dolls in that case. She was forced to choose between her pets or her dolls and she chose the pets. And while she made the right choice, it was still tragic that she lost not only her dolls, but also a friend's doll that was visiting. True, the loss of home (and one pet that didn't survive the smoke inhalation) is more tragic than the dolls. But there were more tears of happiness when several of us banded together and surprised her with a new doll.

 

I see a few people talked about how they fell hardcore for Soom MD Amber and I will totally admit that I was in the same boat. I would keep the page loaded all day just so that I could go back and forth to look at her pictures. I also fell really hard for Heliot, but not really until after I saw him with different faceups and such. It was just too bad that I was still at the point where I wasn't sure if I actually wanted to buy a doll or if I was just going to admire them from afar.
Now I think I would be happy with just having the Amber head and the romantic Heliot head.

 

Well, I certainly did not actually cry over a doll, but I must admit I got a teensy bit 'mimimimi u so byooo-tee-full~' when I took my favorite out of his box for the first time.
I can only imagine what the customs officer must have thought of the silly girl in front of him, admiring a giant plastic doll like it was God knows what.

 

oh god yes, my first boy
when I saw him i slowly pulled him out of the box and just stared at him and started to tear up.
he was absolutely perfect, I still sometimes just stare and smile at him. I can't believe he made me nearly cry lol I printed out pictures and would have my goal amount of money at the bottom all taped up in my locker so I would look at it everyday and then, actually seeing him in person was amazing~ Gah I love him ^-^

 

so far ive not seen anything that has caught my eye like my karma has. i think about the only thing i would do different about her is widen her eyes a tad

 

i've cried for my doll! it was when I asked to my dad to order her and he said that he couldn't do it that day. I was in love with my sayuki so bad! but when I opened her box I didn't cry, i stared at her for a lots and i couldn't stop to smile! even thought she was blank! ^^

 

I can't say I've ever had a full on sob session over a doll, but I can say I felt my eyes burn with happiness when I first got them, or when I look at them, and they're having a really good hair day or something like that.

 

I'm so sorry to hear that it was one of your friends. Please send her my deepest condolences! I can't imagine what that must have been like to deal with.

 

Edit: I have two dream MNFs, and eventually they are both coming home. Both have made me cry in happiness. >.< I only cry like that when I have found the right doll for the character.

 

I cried when I won my Eileen, even though she's off topic and isn't my dream doll, just the fact that I'd finally received a ball joint doll after five years of wanting one made me cry, I was so happy. And I love her so much I'd never trade her for anything.
When I first got into this hobby I wanted an April cute as soon as I saw her, she was just, the cutest most perfect doll for me and I had so many plans for her. I never got her though, she ended up selling out after he clothes sold out and the buddy-doll went offline. I cried when I saw she sold out. I haven't realy felt that attached to dolls but I do have moments where I'm completely blown away by the beauty.
Soom's Super Gem Ivory is one of these dolls. If I ever wanted a large doll, she'd be the first on my list to buy

 

First doll and only so far that just stopped me for a moment was "FeePle65 Siean Elf Full Package (Empress of Sword)". Just... stunning.

 

My first doll, Sef, I was on the verge of purchasing another doll when I stumbled on the spiritdoll website, my breath was taken away... he was everything I wanted in a boy doll. And when I opened him... I was just so happy!

 

Hmm well, no, I wouldn't cry normally over a sculpt of any sort. But my friend did buy me a doll, and that made me cry and made the doll more endearing because she went out of her way to get something that i wanted very badly, sooo that combined with getting a doll i have been pining over well that brought me to tears.

 

I seem to be incapable of loving just one. So my answer is no. Not because I don't have wonderful, "adoring" ?? --- feelings for them though.

I may have to start the first chapter of bjd-a-holics. We might have to make it on-line group or something, since the chances of there being very many in one place,,,who are willing to admit it and stop the denial [haaaa] is very small. just kidding

So I am a kinda, sorta NO in a backwards way?

 

I've had this kind of experience a couple times... The first was for what I consider 'my first doll'. My partner and I had purchased a doll that was to house one of my characters, but he was still more hers than mine. (We're okay with that, though.) And I had recently discovered the Luts Lu-wen and just kept coming back to it again and again and again, and I told her that there was just /something/ about him that really drew me. Literally within a week, a friend of hers on lj turned out to be selling one. We got him, his vampire head, a practice head and whole bunch of cloth for less than I would have dreamed and now he's my baby. The most cuddly of our our resin-kids and pretty much one of the driving forces of the stories we write with them. (Almost 2 years after we got that vamp head with him, it became a separate character who is likely to be just as fabulous, if not quite as 'kick-to-the-gut' had to have him.)

The second time was when the limited Kid Delf Elf Maska came up and I looked at it and saw the perfect face for a very hard to shell female character. We didn't have the money at the time and I knew I was going to have to let her go. I cried the night the order period ended and started making plans on other options to shell that character to the point that my partner was worried I was going to fall in love with another mold. Turns out that she and my aunt split the cost and got it for me as the most awesome present ever. There's pics of me wibbling and tearing up in the opening thread too because it was just so incredible that they would do that for me. And she is perfect as she is, her head will be getting an Iplehouse JID body and the boy body she came on went to one of her brothers we needed to be slightly stockier than the usual MNF.

We had a shared experience regarding an El on the marketplace, creating a character for him and everything, but he wasn't offered on layaway and that was the only way we could afford him. Interestingly enough, we have had some very good MP karma, finding out that the MNF El head we got was the same one we had fallen in love with a year previous was awesome and when a seller of a truly exquisite MNF Lishe was willing to allow layaway, long after we had talked about it and eyed her for /months/, we got to bring her home too. Sometimes it's that gut reaction of 'this is a good thing' even if it isn't overwhelming... It's that feeling that you keep going back to it again and again and you think about it for weeks, months, years even. Staying power is generally what really pulls me, since other than the Maska, I don't think I've had that 'insta-must-have'.

Which is good, since I am the type who cries at movies, songs, occasionally commercials even, and I've had my moments over dolls. Usually when we put that first layaway payment down or when they come home. It's not just dreams, but the attaining of them.

/novella Sorry for the rambling...

...Also as a note, my little sister rarely cries over anything. But she broke down in tears when she found out at Christmas that our mom had gotten her a body for the puki multihead my partner and I had given her and she was able to start putting the money she'd been saving up towards her first MSD boy instead. It's more than material goods, but the thought and effort and love behind them that make it so emotional sometimes.

 

Yeah! It happened to me when I first saw DollShe Saint.
I was impressed by his beauty and dissimilarity to other dolls.

 

I don't happy-cry. I find it incomprehensible.

But my Zaoll Luv, even though I ordered her blank, I was like... whoa... she was just so perfect-looking. I love her dearly... minus her posing ability. I dunno if it's her or my inability to understand how girls balance themselves... I'm incompetent at posing my other girl too.

I was more giddly with my first doll (my longest wait, so it was like AHAHAHA I HAVE YOU NOW). More worried with my second doll (the box was bent out of shape when my parents got her and I wasn't home to open her until a few days later)

Getting my Angeltoast head i was giddy since I won him in a raffle so it was like "I was lucky for once!" and he was just so interesting looking.

Getting my Har head, it was more like relief. I was worried since the tracking didn't update much. But he was so worth it. He's so pretty even without face-up

 

I have not cried when I've received my dolls, and every one of them has been one that I've looked forward to. I am of course, very happy when I receive them! Overjoyed in fact!
