Did you ever buy a doll and just hate it?

Nope, and it would terrify me to think of that ever happening...

 

I couldn't imagine. It would make me sick.

 

Yep. Sold him in a week. He looked totally different to the default pics (without that faceup, anyway) and just wasn't what I wanted or expected at all. Beautiful, but just... not... right.

 

Oh definately. I bought a doll and hated it. But it was a cheap-o doll I bought to experiment on, so that's to be expected. What I didn't expect was for my hate for this doll to grow each day. I bought it to practice mods, but I had to do soooo much work on it to get it looking (and functioning) decently that it made me resent the doll. And the mods I did weren't the mods I wanted to practice anyway. I don't and never did think of it as "my doll" it's just a random thing really. I ran out of mr white surfacer right as I was almost done with the doll, so it's been sitting in parts for about 4 months.

 

ive got a head i thought i could bond with...but that didnt happen, so i gave it to a friend who said she'd like to have a go. 2 months later i get a call " ive done everything to it, ive painted it, wiged it, gave it at least 20 different eyes. i hate him" shes a gore mongrel so when she gave him back i wasnt surprised that she had modded him and made him all bloody. i just hope i can sell him off to some one who will like him. i really do feel bad for the poor thing *hugs the bleeding fool*
expect to see him in the marketplace...tomorrow.

 

Yep.

And I knew for sure how little I cared for him when, within hours of arriving, he fell backwards and his head-cap fell off and an eye fell out... and I didn't care. If it had been any of my other dolls I would have probably experienced heart palpitations, but as I... uh... wasn't feeling the love I just grabbed him, stuck his eye back in and his head-cap on and... ignored him for a couple of months before selling him and replacing him with yet another Delf.

 

I'm having problems bonding with an Obitsu right now. I don't hate her and in fact when I first got her body I loved how she held a pose! But I just got a new head for her and although it's quite lovely I can't quite make a connection with her. She's based on an original character of mine and I don't think she quite matches what I had in mind. For some reason I think I'd feel terribly guilty about selling her.

 

I traded a doll for a Kid Delf Woori once; mostly because the other party really liked the head I was selling, and I was looking for a mini-sized head for a girl. The Woori was adorable, especially after a new faceup, but the doll just wasn't for me. So it wasn't really hate, just general not-for-me.

 

If you look at owner's pictures of dolls, and really love them even sans Photoshop, then you usually won't be disappointed. I think I had thoughts about selling Azel (the SchA) because a) for six months he was a head until I saved up enough money to buy a Volks' body and b) because I had one doll for over a year when I got him, and I practically couldn't imagine two.

I think Shin (Isao) I fell in love with through his pictures, Azel (SchA) I fell in love with over time, Atelair (FCS) I fell in love with as soon as I took him out of the box, and Melange (Aika U-Noss) I fell in love with as soon as I did modifications on her (granted, she's not perfect yet, but she's getting there).

There's a lot of different ways to like something, but I haven't seen many disappointments unless the doll was damaged/wasn't as described/ the person didn't do that much research.

 

I've had one was pretty but the expression annoyed me a little. I ended up selling them and the new owner was happy, so I'm glad.

One doll I thought I would love, but he arrived severely flawed and missing his faceup, had to be sent back, had to wait again. Its probably the reason I never really got attached to him.

 

(I really did not hate the dolls, it was probably more of a "not the right doll for me")

 

Hmmmm I wont say that it is hate at first sight but there are just some dolls that I dun bond immediately due to various reasons but I try to give myself some time and out of the 2 times, I changed my mind after I gave my doll a new faceup while the other, I just kinda gave up cos it just wont work out no matter what.

 

I was afraid that I wouldn't like my doll when I first got her because I got her insted of the one I had been wanting for a while due to money issues. But she ended up coming in and I loved her right away. Now my only problem is whether or not I'll have favoritsm once I get the doll I had wanted for a while...

 

I'm waiting on my first, I'm trying not to build it up so when I do finally see
her for the first time I'll be sooo excited! But I got the doll I absolutely
wanted and loved so I don't expect to be disappointed.

 

Well, it has sort of happened to me twice- but hate seems a harsh word for how I felt. Disapointment seems more appropriate.

The first time was with my second doll. She was a limited edition and I was so thrilled to have actually got my hands on her second-hand. Hoever, when she arrived she was damaged (which the seller had not told me) and then she had a part of her outfit missing, It took months to resolve and just totally ruined the doll for me. I sold her after nearly 3 years of attempting to bond and bought my beautiful Emanuel (DOD Ducan) with the funds.

The second time was again a limited edition but I bought him brand new earlier n July. When he arrived I liked him, but just didn't work out how I wanted. I didn't hate him and tried so hard to bond with him and kept changing his face-up and thinking that maybe it was just time I needed. But, it just seemed he didn't fit in with the rest of my resin babies. I sold him and bought Aki and Aki is perfect and fits right in with the rest.

 

I wouldn't say I hated him... but I bought a Kill_U SP and always thought something was a little off about him, he wasn't as pretty as I imagined and his face wasn't how I expected. I loved him of course and thought I just didn't do a good job on his faceup or something. Actually, what I had and was sold was a Kill_U 2nd, I just didn't notice for a while and he didn't look right to me because he was the wrong mold. I replaced him with the head I wanted for him and now he's absolutely perfect. His old head is probably going to a friend who loves my doll, so everything worked out in my case.

 

My own DD seemed a little different than on the Volk's page. I think it was the lighting though. :/

 

Ack what a nightmare I cant imagine but I have seen that happen on the baord with other people...

 

Well... sadly this has happened twice with me now.

My first doll, a Kid Delf Ani was basically purchased because 1.) it was readily available, 2.) good friend pricing, and 3.) my friend needed the money...

I never really bonded with her as well as I thought I would have... and now I got an Angell-Studio Gus Girl for my birthday last month and I just can't bond with her, either... I hate to sell her right after I've gotten her, but... you know.

 

Actually I think that those reason were very justified what it boils down to is you were trying to help out a friend
