Could you ever have just ONE BJD?

Kadan was originally going to be my only child, but then I had an urge to get a tiny for Chiisa, and now I have a goal to someday own one of every size o.O (well... not the 1/2 sized or larger, just up to 60cm, maybe 70cm someday idk)

 

Before i started bjds i thought i would be content with just one bjd + other dolls. Now its more like heaps of bjds and few of other dolls.

 

I just received my first Limhwa-Elly. I have wanted her forever and finally got her. She is so beautiful! Of course,now I want another one to be repainted. Never satisfied. I learned long ago that no matter what I say, one is not enough.

 

I used to think that no, I couldnt. But just yesterday my BBB/RS Ai arrived and Im shocked to say not only is she the end to my collection, but Id be happy with just her. I currently have 6 dolls, from a Soom Sabik down to a Luts Bory, and I could stand to see all of them go, as long as I got to keep Ai.
O.O
honestly Im in shock!

 

First is was a DZ Fei in 2008, then an AOD Rao in 2010... Add in a FL PP PongPong this spring and I've just paid for a 5SD TongTong...

Now I've just found a IH EID Akando and Luna... I don't think I can handle this obsession!!

My plan is still to have no more than 2 of each size, one boy and one girl but who knows now!

 

I only have one BJD and I'm pretty content with owning only him and simply buying things to make him even more beautiful. I have eyeballed a couple other dolls, but I'm in a position where I couldn't afford to get another one- even if I wanted to.

 

I thought I could, in fact I wanted to. I really wanted to have just one BJD and than buy tons and tons of stuff for her. I actually don't remember when I changed my mind but I was looking at all of the beautiful pictures on here of dolls interacting with eachother and I decided that maybe two would be alright and than the third followed quickly behind :P Now I can't imagine what it would be like to not have more than one doll and although I still don't plan on having more than maybe ten. We'll see if I stick to that!

 

Nooo!! it's nice to have a boy and girl.

 

Someone mentioned chocolate? *yum* I agree! BJDs are like chocolates!! if I have a huge box of chocolates, there's no way I will have just one and there are so many new BJD companies that there's no way I could have just one either!! :P

 

No, never. I always start new collecting hobbies and tell me that I will only get one. A year later they have taken over and are everywhere, happened with ponies, happened with Pullips, is happening with BJDs right now^^

 

If I really was needing some money to pay my bills or to eat, I could sell all of my dolls but one (that would be my artist doll). But that doesn't mean I want to, I love every single doll I own and some of them I can't see myself selling.

From the moment I bought my first BJD, I knew I had to have more. The first was a kind of test, because I was into Pullips and didn't know if I would like BJDs. But when she arrived home I just fell in love and knew I couln't own just one. Three weeks later, I was buying my second. That was six months ago, and I now own 8 dolls and one head XD

 

8 dolls in 6 months? Wow, taht could be me

 

I really, really REALLY tried to keep my first boy as my last. But...I have the internet.

The internet makes you see things and want them. Like Unoas.

 

hoarding/collecting things is something that kind of runs in my family, with both my parents being avid collectors of certain thing (and so i guess it's an urge or mindset i find hard to escape as a result since i was raised around 2 people who collect valuable items as a hobby- just not BJDs), so it's always hard to resist the desire to buy something new - whether it's a doll, or something else.

however, if i had to pick just one doll, i would probably pick my first doll, Yoon Ji. i feel a fondness for her that even surpasses my liking for my other types of dolls (such as my Dollfie Dreams, who are extremely precious to me as well).

 

When I was on start this hobby, I thought that I would have only 1 BJD - girl. Now I understood that it was a biiig-biig mistake)
sorry for my bad language)

 

I thought I could, but apparently it's impossible. xD Every time you think you've settled a company pulls out something new that's hard to resist!

 

This is a good question - I started out thinking that I'd be content with just one doll (which I planned on buying as a cosplay accessory), but just searching around these forums and all the shops, my "must have" list is three... Of course that number may increase the longer I spend here and with other doll owners!

 

I thought I would get a male doll as my first. Didn't really consider any girls at all--and then I absolutely fell in love with Resinsoul's MSD sculpt Mei and HAD to have her immediately. But...I still wanted a boy doll as well. So I would say I was doomed from the start to have at least two dolls. Over a year later I finally have my first boy. At this moment, obviously, I'm more attached to June because I've had her a lot longer (Mr. Naked Nameless Dude is quite new). But I love having at least one of each gender, and I know I'll adore him once I get him all sorted out...and now I suspect a third doll is inevitable another year or so from now. Dang it. I liked the idea of having one, and then I really didn't want to go over two. Aaaargh. There are just so many dolls out there, and so many possibilities! Who can resist? :P

 

I probably will only ever own one, for one simple reason: Money. My funds are way too limited for more.

 

for 8 month i own just one BJD (i say i just want one) but after tha Ldoll 2 (french doll event) i bought some dolls (7 since this festival ^^).
If i had to chose one it would be really difficult because i like all my dolls.
