    1. I started out only wanting one or two. Now I've fallen in love with and hope to have 9 or 10. For now it's fun to spoil the two and a half that I do have. XD

    3. I've given up trying to have a plan. :sweat Every time I say, "Okay, this is the last. No more!" A few months later I will fall for some new shiny thing.

    4. First it was... I'm not going to buy any. It's too expensive a hobby.
      Then it was... This is the doll I'm NOT going to buy.
      Then it was... I've ordered the doll I'm not going to buy. Dolls = 1.
      Then it was... 200 pages of Puki cuteness, sent a sanity overload. Dolls = 2.
      Then it was... 200 pages of Narae beauty, and a friend's sweet girl, Dolls = 3.

      Then I suffered the horrible fate of getting access to the marketplace.

      Connor called out to me, and I had no chance. Dolls = 4
      Then my pukisha needed a puki sugar friend, so Mia came to me via Norway. Dolls = 5
      Then a doll that I admired for a few weeks, just sat there and I couldn't just leave her. Dolls = 6

      I've now put a moratorium on my dolls. No more. Well at least no more this year.

      Um... Plans? What's that?

    5. I don't have any dolls, but I'll answer based on my wishlist! :P

      When I first got into dolls, I decided that no way, I was never getting a doll, they're way too expensive, I was just going to look at the pictures!
      As I looked at more and more pictures of these lovely dolls, I decided that maybe just one doll wasn't going to hurt? Just a small one, I swear!
      Then, when I had come up with a personality for my boy, I came up with more... and it expanded to 3 dolls.
      Now I keep making new characters that just HAVE to be in the storyline, and the wishlist currently has 6 dolls on it!
      To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I end up buying even more than that... ^^;

    6. I'm like arcalae--> I just stop planning. First I wanted to stick with only one, now I ty to not get a fourth before I've finished the three I own. And that's really hard !
       
      #66 Follow-the-Wind, Jun 28, 2008
    7. My original plan was one. When I got her, it was two. Now I have four, and am planning on many, many more. ^^'

    8. I originally wanted one boy doll and one girl doll and that was it. I'm almost there with my Marie and my floating head Amakusa. However, I didn't anticipate that I would get my fiance hooked into this hobby so he's planning on getting a Jun. I applied for a Yo-SD Kun as I wanted to do some photostories and I felt a mini-Marie might come into play. Also, I simply fell in love with the concept of a tanned Kun, so if the sunlight/ebony options come back for FCS, I'll do that. So originally, it started with 2. Now, it looks like 5 if all goes well...and I'm hoping to gawd that Volks doesn't make anymore dolls that I'll drool after. Ha-ha-ha.

    9. I think I've actually changed from having a lot to having LESS! Ha ha. I love a lot of dolls but I don't think I'll ever love them enough to get them, you know? So I really have to reevaluate my wishlist from "dolls I might buy" to "I MUST HAVE THIS DOLL NAO PLZ" because it causes too much trouble to have such a large list I want XD

    10. I think just about everything I thought when I started the hobby has changed......a LOT....

      I thought SDs were too big and was actually worried my MSD might be a bit too big, but she was perfect and I decided I would stick to minis and maybe have 2....possibly 3 since the sweet Lolita type didn't work on Anathema...I really only wanted another doll because I thought it would be fun to have someone Anathema could interact with, but I didn't really see the need for a bunch of dolls.....

      then I bought Carmine....my dream doll.....a 64cm DOT.....my god he is HUGE, but I love him so much I wouldn't trade him for the world! and I want 3 more big ones....one 57cm, one 60cm, and......one 70cm!!!!! what is that?! What happened to anything bigger than Carmine being too big?! AND these three are all on top of the other mini I want....

      I also thought heavy modding would be a never gonna happen for me....but that 70cm....yeah....I'm gonna dye and pierce him...and possibly gender swap that 57cm....all my ideas were WRONG! so very wrong!! Oh! and 'No character dolls!' turned into 'OMG! I'm gonna make Hatsune Miku!!' One day I'll stick to a decision about these things...

    11. Never having had a set number, the gang here just proliferated. One of the only 2 rules got broken though, only Sds, when I fell in love with a MSD & some tinies. Now I'm getting out of the MSDs but keeping the tinies & the herd of SDs. Some of those will hopefully also be leaving home. I'm trying to thin down to my very favorites & have no plans to buy more. My last two were so satisfying that I feel like my collection is complete.

    12. I never put itself a purpose to have many dolls. I live in a little apartment and it will be badly them (if it was much). Now I have one, but hope to purchase him a friend.

    13. I only planned to have one doll, and that's how it stayed for a year, but I have given in and ordered two more. I'm already thinking about the next one - or two - or three! But I am telling myself I must make clothes for the one I have, and the two who are on order, before I will allow myself to buy more.
      I thought if I bought a doll who was that expensive, and that beautiful, I would be satisfied, but now she looks so alone!

    14. I only wanted to have 1 but now I want 2 more! I hope that as I get them I don't want 4 more! *_*

    15. Hmm...Fell in love with Luc's (DIM Persia) innocent face. Wanted only one because, let's face it, the buggers cost a mint. And how can you divide your time amongst multiples? Madness, I tell you! Madness!

      But then...

      Luc seemed lonely so I got a Camine (DOD whom I later sold) to "keep him company"...
      Then DIM Sleeping Persia went up for sale! Can you say "Twins!"?...
      Sleeping Persia came with two other heads from an event sale (later sold)...
      And look at that Soulkid Harang's pouty face...
      And that MNF Shiwoo...
      Oh-ho-ho! Then I fell in love with SWD Rengemaru and pleaded to the gods to let me adopt him, and lo' and behold the mighty Selmada answered my pleas :)

      So...now Luc has a son, Ayden...Ayden needs his other parent and--Dang it! I work hard and deserve some fruit for my labor--*click-click*

      Tanned Yuu2 is on the way :|

      So grand total 6 (so far):
      Luc
      Alexi
      Ayden
      Beagan
      Sora
      Tanned Yuu2 (no name as of yet)

      So yeah...I'd stop counting if I were you ;)

      hubby in the background: Told you that you wouldn't get just one
      me: Yeah...yeah...*click-click*

    16. I originally wanted only one... but then I realized that, based on the character I made my doll, I just had to get him his partner or else he'd be lonely, so the total of dolls I wanted changed to two.

      Then one day, while looking through the DoD website, I saw Twing-Key and thought she'd make the perfect girl doll for me (I have a thing for boy dolls usually). When I thought that, I figured what the heck? I should get myself at least ONE girl doll since some of the girl clothes are so cute.

      So the doll count went up to three.

      And then recently I saw a CP Yder and fell in love with him at first sight..... and now I'm thinking, what the heck (again)! What's another doll when I already want three? :XD:

      Therefore, yes... the number of dolls I intended to have to begin with keeps changing, but I think I'll stop for a little while after my DoI arrives *_*

    17. At first I was planning to just save for molds I saw fit for the family... But now I specifically plan on having one 70cm, two 60cm, and three 40cm. No more, no less.

      Well.. maybe a few tinies too, though I have yet to fall for one. xD

    18. Originally I only planned on having one. Now I have three and a fourth one is coming, and I'm planning two more after that.
       
      #78 avacado, Aug 7, 2008
    19. Originally I had plotted on having seven dolls, with the possibility of one or two more in addition. These seven had names and vague-ish backstories already planned.

      Now? I've tentatively thought that fourteen might be a good max number. ^^;

      Though so far, I've been pretty good about trying to get the original seven dolls planned. Of the four I have and one on the way, only one of them wasn't on the list.
       
      #79 thaelia, Aug 8, 2008
    20. Like some have already mentioned, when I first started seriously considering getting one, I thought to myself that I would only ever get _just one_. They were so pricey, and they're pricey to keep (woo accessorizing)...

      Now that I have Toshi, I'm like... "He needs a friend." >_< So I'm planning on meeting a few more boys up close and personal before I start a fund again. But there will definitely be more. Heeeeh. *sighs*
