1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Could you ever have just ONE BJD?

Dec 28, 2008

    1. I think if it came down to it and I could sell my heavily modded dolls because I absolutely had to, because it was a life and death situation and there was no other way to scrape up any money I would definitely keep my very first BJD. Even though she's a pretty common sculpt and considered a cheaper doll that could be easily replaced, I just would never be able to do it. Really, it would be horribly painful to sell any of my dolls, but I'm never going to have another first BJD. I'm never going to have the same one unless I kept track of who bought, if they sold to somebody else, and kept constant tabs and just waited until the time was right to buy her up again. But even after that, she wouldn't be my doll anymore once she went to somebody else.
       
    2. Right now I have four dolls, but if I could only keep one for whatever reason, it would be my first doll, my DearMine limited Shadow Skull, not just because he's so unique but he's my first. The bonds I have with my other dolls don't compare to the bond I have with him, and I can't imagine ever having him out of my life.

      But could I just have him and no one else? Probably. It would hurt, and as I'm growing more and more in love with my newest girl, I think that might change. :sweat
       
    3. It's been 5 years since I got my first doll and it is still my only one ... I have no thoughts on others granted I did go drool at the fennec fox at the Dollfree Market in Seoul not too long ago. I do have an extra head, but I wound up with it through the event I ordered my doll. I am happy with my DoD Petsha and hope she stays with me for a long time.
       
    4. I currently have one, a littlefee Chloe, but it seems that everytime I look at her she is begging for a little sister.... "JUST one" she says.... ;) So, I'm looking for my perfect Pukifee now... :D
       
    5. I only have one doll but I do want anotherone ;p
       
    6. How could I even consider only having one when there are so many and they're all so freaking beautiful? ;w;
       
    7. lol Noooo, although times were simpler then, just when it was the two of us, there was something special about it.
      But I'm way too addicted to them. I love the rush I get when I make a new charter and get the doll just right, it's weirdly adrenaline like. My heart pumps a little faster like, I imagine, betting or playing a difficult video game. XD
       
    8. I only have one, but it has only been a month! Plus, I have the luxury of livinbg very close to Mint On Card's new storefront. So I can satiate my urge to drool at the pretties up close if I really need a fix. I can't see myself owning hordes of dolls, but one or two more may be nice. :)
       
    9. i dont think i could. i have just one at the moment, but ive been itching o buy these two dolls ive been eyeballing for weeks. i think bjds are like tattoos, once you get one, you're going to want more and more!
       
    10. If my family was really suffering...I could knock back to one, yes. I wouldn't want to, because I love all my dolls (and they keep accumulating).
      It would be either my delf Miyu or my Iplehouse Tania. Myla (the JID) was the first girl I ordered and she's super stunning and realistically sculpted, but harder to dress. Miyu was my first arrival and, although she's not the best poser, I'm wildly in love with her. She has so much potential for different emotions, and she's more than just a pretty doll to me.
       
    11. First, I thought I would have only 2 (This include my DD Saber)
      but then when I got Kuuya I want to have another XD
      I don't know why but I just want to get him a big brother and now a big sister as well...
      My friend who drag me into BJD said that "When you got one another will come along"
      So, I don't think I will have only one BJD in my house :D
       
    12. When I ordered my first BJD I thought I didn't need anymore, then upon arrival I began looking for another BJD, slightly bigger and slightly more expensive. Ever since then this has been the case, each doll gets a few centimeters larger and several dollars more expensive
       
    13. I thought so...now I've just ordered my 7th one...
       
    14. I wish!
      There are so many dolls on my wishlist that I'm eternally mentally broke.
       
    15. I thought I only needed one, and then I fount out about the other companies through bjdcollectasy. Now I want to save to get more.
       
    16. If I had to, I could, but given the choice...? No way. XD
       
    17. If I had gotten my original dream doll who was supposed to be a loner and not have friends anyway I think I would've been fine with just ever owning him which he's an MSD size but I ended up getting a different one SD sized and he has an entire family so I feel bad because he's been sitting here all lonely without his best friend and his cousin :c
       
    18. Lays potato chips: You can never have just one
      Pringles chips: once you pop, the fun don't stop
      Nike: Just do it
      Chemistry: paired electrons

      In other words, no. it is inevitable

      within the months of ordering my first doll, I now have 5 on the way, and plans for 7 more. Then I'll stop, I swears
      "Sure, that's what they all say," smirks the ready of the bjd community...
       
    19. If, for whatever reason, I would be forced, then yes, of course I would be able to have only one doll, if there was no other choice than to have one or none. But as it is, the dolls I have are all important to me in their own ways. I never thought I could have just one, although I often think that it would make it a whole lot easier to have just a few, and not as many as I do have ... I'm sorting through them, however, and I've sold several over the past couple of months, simply because I'm not that fond of their sculpts anymore. I have a few more that I am looking to sell, and there are two that I absolutely want to save up for, but we will just have to wait and see, I suppose.

      But like things are now, I couldn't choose just one, simply because I don't have to. ;) Should it ever come to that, then I'd be pained over it, but yes, I would most likely be able to choose, but would probably regret it a hundred times over!
       
    20. If I had just started, I might be able to keep the crew to under 10. Maybe even 2! But I have 75 here at home, with three being made! I kinda wish I could have kept it to one!
