Could you ever have just ONE BJD?

I have to agree.

I was first going to settle on getting 2 MSD because I really want a boy and girl for pose work and what not for drawing referrence. But there is this one SD I want more then any of the MSDs so I'm gonna go for that one. I will put more aside and buy another male SD when I get the money.

I will be sastisfied when I have 2, because thats really what I want them for, couple posing xD And making boy clothes is fun too xD

I'm pushing it getting one, to get another one will be so bad X_X

 

I don't have one yet XD but when I do I know for sure I want a second because that's how i planned it XD. (Abel the older brother and Elle the younger) So i'll probably be itching to get one ASAP.

 

At the moment I have just one doll, and I'm content with that. I researched for months before I bought any BJD, but his sculpt was the one that I kept going back to over and over again. I knew he was the boy for me.

As of right now, I don't want another doll. I see plenty that I think are pretty, or might consider, but I'm content with my boy. We're still bonding and I'm spoiling him rotten. XD And we're both quite okay with that.

 

heheh when I first saw bjds i said I wanted one. One lasted about 3 days. I now have two and one more on the way, and if I had the money I would buy as many as I could afford. Im so addicted.

If I had to pick one it would be my girl Zeek, mostly cuz she is finished (face up and such) and sentimental attachment, she was the second doll I ordered but the first to arrive, I guess I just have a good bond with her. (though I haven't met my newest girl yet, Avery, a Bobobie Isabelle. hehe)

 

I don't have a BJD yet, but my first one should be coming soon, and he will be coming with an event head, so I know that I will be getting a body for him later on.
I also have seen another BJD that I would like to get this summer when I am working, so for sure I will have 3.
But who knows I may get more as time goes by.

 

Nope, just having ONE wouldn't happen.
I have one for 3 years, then the second came

 

I'm still waiting for my first BJD, so I thinking of having one doll.
But have to agree that 2 would be better for me.

 

I enjoy the "family" aspect of the dolls. I got my first doll and within a few weeks of her arrival I thought to myself "She's lonely she needs a boyfriend". I bought a boy doll for her 5 months later.

That was it for me for a long time (well over a year) and I was happy. But last year I knew something wasn't right. I began trying to sell them (really glad I didnt sell demi as I would miss her way way way too much) in order to try to upgrade to an SD sized doll thinking that would fill the void. However, I seen a good deal on a used obitsu body, and got a gretel head from junky spot in may of last year. I was thrilled with how she poses but I still prefer MSD I think in the end so I was happy to have not sold both of mine.

However the last few weeks I've decided to try to sell Mowen again, I've decided boy dolls are not for me. Which is odd because I know boys are generally more popular than the girls. The lil bench where he and Demi sit will look mighty empty though as the two of them fill the bench perfectly and look really cute together (but no, no he is just not for me. I can not bond with male dolls)... So I will need to get a sister for demi. I'm thinking AOD rao...

I recently discovered AOD. I went into a dolly lull in the winter, which I seem to do every year. This will be my 3rd year actively owning dolls and it seems like from about november - late febuary my interest is very very low in my dolls (maybe it's sds (seasonal depression syndrome) or just the fact that I don't want to go out in the freezing cold to do photo shoots heh. I started looking at dolls, just on a whim one day in late febuary of this year. That was when I seen her and had to have her, an AOD Mimi Yo-sd sized tiny. I bought her within 10-12 hours of seeing her, just she seemed to say buy me, love me. Maybe it was because she had the same large eyed look as Demi with the same thin lips and even the same expression with just a very soft hint of a smile. I thought wow they could be sisters. Then I thought wow, she's 10 and a half inches she could have all kinds of awesome photo shoots with dollhouse furniture. I'm still waiting on her to come. She will be my 4th over the course of these last 3 years.

And once Mowen sells he will quickly be replaced by either an msd or tiny girl depending on how well I like the size of mimi. I'm still not sure what to expect. The yo-sd dress that I ordered from a member here in market place was larger than what I was expecting, and someone else had told me that they weren't sure but thought that the doll could wear kelly clothes O_o; So I ordered some on ebay but they're about the size of my thumb haha, yeah, so now I was thinking of selling them as pukipuki dresses, but maybe someday I thought I might get a pukipuki as a little sister to my AOD mimi haha... it's a vicious cycle.

I had no intention of buying another doll at all, I was just bored and began looking at the newer molds that had come out over the fall/winter. -- I really wanted a soom glot/glati buuut... couldn't justify the price tag I know it includes awesome extras (horns and hooves = love) but I recently got a new apartment and I'm like "I really like them, but I just cant afford 400 dollars on dolls right now. 120 isnt so bad" Plus like I said, the doll just sorta called to me O_o; It was kinda an impulse buy. I slept on it over night, and first thing before work the next morning hit the little "buy now" button. Now I already think I want to get more tinies, but she isn't even here yet and I want to be sure that I will like that size. I feel that I may order another tiny within a few months as I have a birthday in may and can justify it to myself as a birthday present for myself.

I've already been looking around at who I want next (and my newest hasn't even arrived yet). I think I've narrowed my msd choice down to Rao now that I've decided that boys just arent for me. But I also really like the 47cm Obitsu body with Angela head, but it's hard to find it anywhere any more. Seen it last year, but I dunno if it was limited or what because now it is sold out on parabox and on ebay they are few and far in between. I just love the way obitsu pose so much better than resin dolls. And I don't have to worry about them breaking.

I have a huge wish/want list of dolls that I would love to own. But I'm also not made of money. I think once I successfully replace Mowen with another msd and get 1-2 more tinies (if I like their size once I see it in person) Then I will be done. I rather focus more on buying props/wigs/clothing for the dolls I currently have. Besides with a new faceup/wig/new eyes/new clothes most molds can look like a completely new doll. So it's not really necessary to always buy new dolls, when you can just give your exsisting ones a new makeover

I want to get to that point where I am content with what I have. But in reality, I know that as they continue to get cheaper and as new sculpts come out, I'm always going to be tempted to buy new dolls.

 

Even though I don't have a bjd, I have a wishlist of many dolls! XD Just like what xenokitten said, I think I would enjoy the family aspect of having many dolls.

 

Yeah, I was naive enough to think i could only have one doll.
But about 4 weeks after I ordered my first (Resinsoul Ju) I decided I wanted another one of the same mold, to accompany her. They arrived 5 days apart or so. I then knew I wanted MOAAAAR.
My wishlist has changed a whole lot during the last few months (I only got my first dolls in december) and now I have 3 dolls and a head, and a head on the way and Im already contemplating on who my first boy will be. Hmmmm.
Ye, so I was very wrong thinking I could only have one. It's as if they themselves demand to have mates and friends and family.

 

My answer is a resounding "No". LOL, I just couldn't.

 

NO, just because I have two lovely BJD's and they are both important to me

 

I think for me it depends on the person. I couldn't have just *one* cat! I find that the dolls are all so different, each one beautiful in his or her own way, and because of that, for me, it would be impossible to only choose one.

 

Given that I've not even gotten my first but have a list of three that I really want, I don't think that I'd be likely to really want to have just one.
On the other hand, I'm slightly strange in that for me, it's not as much the characterization or customization aspects of the dolls as what I'd call (my only words for it, sorry) the "familiar" syndrome. I want one to cuddle and keep with me and talk and carry around everywhere (or, as much of everywhere as you can take a doll). So I think I could be satisfied with just one to really form a strong bond with. Or, at least, that's what I think now. Kind of waiting to be proved wrong on that one once I actually get my babies.

 

I use to think that one doll is enough for me but i've just order new doll.

It's no my fualt at all. My boy want new brother, i have no choice.

 

If I needed to, I could easily single out the dolls I could give up in order to keep another. I would be fine with just one, but I like having my two big boys. I'm very much a single doll person, though. As boring as it would be for anyone else looking in. (No change of scenery.)

 

Yeah, sure I could, but only if it was necessary. Right from the beginning, I don't think I ever wanted just one... I wanted just two. XD. If I had to get rid of all of them but one I'd keep my first, a Delf Moon I call Faust. I don't even think he's my favorite in terms of posing (he's so floppy now, I need to restring him!) or in how cool he looks, but I just can't imagine not having him.

 

i use to have one!
but she wanted a baby sister, which she got, now i have a question. if you get a doll after the first one, but the that doll is more mature than the first one, who is younger and who is older?

 

Although I am new to the whole BJD obsession, and I never thought I would have one because the kind of scared me at first (I know it is funny now). After I saw my friends and how much fun she had with her girls. I wanted one. Then I got my Suzaku. I thought I could stop with her; however after 3 hours, I wanted Suzaku to have her own little brother. And now I am waiting for Seiryu to arrive.

 

if the crisis don't go any further at least i would like to have 2 <#3
