Could you ever have just ONE BJD?

Nope. I could have just two, like I do now. But I'd rather have the complete family of 5 I'm planning. Plus the minimee I've got in progress. I think just six will cover it. ^-^

 

No. And I will tell you why. These dolls aren't a quick impulse buy. They are something that you need to carefully choose and save up for, and they cost a lot of money. You buy one because you LOVE the idea of owning one, and you fall for that one in particular. And how can you possibly research and want and save and wait for something you think is so precious and then not want another?

I DO believe though, I could have just 2 or 3 and no more. But not one. Definitely not one.

 

Initially I've watched this particular one doll (he shall be dubbed the chosen ONE) for a year and a half before finding the courage to part with my hard earned savings and buying him in Dec 2009. He was the love of my life. But then at times he looked so lonely that I thought : maybe another one isn't so bad. Originally though, I wanted two.
Now it's trying to find him the perfect partner and that is going to take another 1 and a half year?

 

Nope, I never think I'll satisfy to have just one. Now, I have 3 BJDs and I want to find more friends for them. I think it's very fun to find the dolls that you like and keep money for them. I never think I'll stop buying dolls for now.

 

I was one of those people who thought that it'd always be just one. Well, as soon as I opened the box to my boy and held him, I was quite addicted. That grew more as I spent more time with him; dressing, cleaning, continuing to personalize him. Well, a little over a month later I have his brother's head on layaway and soon his body, and then a plethora of many more. Here I go on the many BJD adventure :3
I think I would probably stop at 13, just because I like that number. I don't see myself getting any higher than that. If I do...well, awesome (:

 

I thought I could have just one BJD. For nearly three years I've had just the one BJD, but I want her to have a friend (even if she doesn't want one. Too bad). xD;
It's going to be weird having another doll around.

 

One huh? It would be so hard to think about cause I have 4. I was content with just having Kotori, until those little Pukipuki's took over my HEART. Maybe thats what BJD's are heartless! (they steal hearts!//Kingdom Hearts reference lame.)

 

I had this idea before...but this thought kept in my mind only for 1 month..haha
after one month, i bought my second doll........

 

Yeah if I could have Soom Vesuvia. All other dolls atm are pure seconds to her. I would probably spoil her rotten then!

 

At the moment i´m sure, that one BJD will be enough for me. I only wanna have one special doll and that´s the B&G Sapphira

 

I did thought before that one was enough to satisfy my curiosity. But then I ended up buying a girl to match my boy. And now I have 3 more SD's on the way. So is one really enough? Ummmmm...no.

 

I don't think so... xD I fall in love easily with other molds

 

Well, though I know the answer is "no" as I plan on getting at least two more BJDs. . .

Considering I've gone through almost five years with my one and only boy -- I think it would have been possible for me. Haha.

 

Maybe four .

 

I am afraid I could not. When I knew about BJD by one I saw, which was the first I got, my first thought was she would be an small resin version of myself that she finally never was. Since I changed my mind and saw her as a member of a pirates crew I knew it would mean a group. Nowadays I own 12 BJD and all the bunch is a whole. It would not work if one or several of the pieces missed.

 

I think if it came down to it, I could have two and feel happy. I'm currently still waiting on my first girl, (a Delf Lishe, SD size) and I have plans to get at least one of my SD boys home in this year. But, If I could only have two, it'd be my Lishe and my future boy EL from LUTS. They've been my favorite since day one, I must have them both.

 

I can't even maintain single digits... At least the double digits go on for awhile...

 

I'm not sure its possible to have just one, at least for me. Once I paid for my first, I felt like it just opened pandora's box, so to speak and I started looking at pictures of owner's bjds... and put in my second order.

I have my first now (pukipuki pongpong), I have another on the way (latiwhite belle), I am on layaway payments for another (elfdoll tinydoll kai), and I am desperately hoping I will win the lottery so I can afford the 4th (soom minigem aren).

I would be perfectly happy with these 4 because #1) I LOVE the molds from these companies and something about those particular dolls just DID it for me. #2) I build miniatures and they will be perfect for my 1:12 and 1:6 scale miniatures, so I don't care all that much for other sizes.

But then again, its not to say that I won't get any more from the same companies so my BJDs have more friends.. you know?

 

At this point, it wouldn't be something I'd desire to do, but of course it's possible. Right now I'm still too interested in my collection and the hobby in general. For the sake of the question, if I decided to keep just one, it would be because I wasn't interested in owning my collection anymore (save for the special chosen one)/the hobby, got into a particular circumstance where having a large doll collection wasn't possible, or that I needed the money. My sole survivor (lol) would be my avatar girl, Isis, to stay with me, because I treasure her above the rest. She's been with me the longest, so she'll always have a special place in my heart.

Not at all! In fact, while I waited for my first BJD to arrive, I ordered and received a second one. I knew I definitely wanted more than one right away, and the thought of "this doll is better than that doll" didn't cross my mind when ordering that second doll (and, the, um, several ones to follow, ahem). Coincidentally, I eventually ended up selling both of the first two that arrived as I developed my taste in dolls. No guilt feelings, just a journey towards more enjoyment!

 

I don't have any BJD's yet but since I already have a list of 5 must haves with back stories and all I'm willing to bet that one 1 will not be my stopping point.
