Did your FIRST doll come with a faceup?

Dec 16, 2013

    1. Both my dolls came with face ups but they were also second hand. Neither of them had factory face ups so I think it was how their faces looked that drew me to them in the first place. I do want to practise doing my own now as my first dolls faceup was removed to mod her nose.

    2. My first doll did not come with a factory face up.
      It really did not go with the character I had in mind, so no face up. And I was convinced that I could do it myself back then....:sweat

    3. I've actually received more company face-ups/other artists face-ups on dolls in the last couple years than when I first started collecting, and I actually just wiped the last of them the other day. I LOVE seeing other people's work. My Iplehouse Evan in particular had a really lovely face-up. I just find my dolls don't feel like mine when someone else has painted them, as silly as I know that sounds.

    4. When I ordered my first doll (doll-leaves WISH) I ordered him with a blank face. The company faceup is beautiful, but not what I had in mind for my character. I'm no artist so I would never attempt a faceup myself, and am planning to send him off to be worked on by someone else!

    5. My first doll was a second-hand from someone who didn't play with him anymore. He came with default DoD face up I believe, but the eyelashes were clumped up due to age...my sister redid his face up and he looks as lovely as ever :)

    6. I bought my first doll second hand and she came with a face up that I love.
      I then bought the next two already faced up but wasn't too happy with the results.
      The fourth doll I bought I purchased a face up *and* a spare blank head so I can practice without destroying anything.

    8. I got my doll second hand and was expecting to wipe the faceup upon arrival. Little did I know I would fall deeply in love with it. Oh well, saved me a lot of time and money

    9. I was scared, so I had the company do face up. But now I do it myself !!

    10. My first lady came with the company faceup. I actually really love it on her, and will probably keep it ^^

    11. My first doll came with face up but it didn't feet my character. So, I re-painted him. And again. And... about seven times x) It was funny, but he mde me crazy. But the result is good for me now =)

    12. My first doll, a resinsoul mei, came with the default faceup since it was only 10 dollars and I'm weird and don't like blank dolls. Though, I soon got very sick of the faceup (RS faceups aren't the most flattering ones in the world...) and got her a new one...she looks so much better now!

    13. My first doll came with a default faceup which I am really satisfied with. I have no experience to make a faceup by myself, so it was a safe way for me for the first time. I do really love her eyebrows.

    14. Yes, my first doll came with her default faceup, which was a big reason I ended up getting her instead of the doll I'd been planning on getting first! I got her secondhand, but her faceup was still in really good shape and she was beautiful... Of course, later, I got her an even better faceup (Thanks Shallowsleep!) but sadly, I never really bonded with her or figured out her character, so after nearly four years, I finally sold her. I'm sure she's much happier wherever she is now, being given the love she deserves. ^ - ^

    15. My first doll came with the factory face-up. It took me a couple of years to get the nerve up to ship one out to an artist. I kept worrying about them getting lost etc. But I've had great experiences with it. My first I sent out took 6 months to complete... but at least she arrived home and was beautiful.

    16. Nope, no face-ups (and surprisingly my first doll looked good without it). Actually a good pair of eyes and some lashes make a huge difference to begin with. Making lots of photo's to see how the light fall effects the face, also works for me. Now all I need to do is stop gazing at inspiring photo's, and show some courage for my first face-up...

    17. All my dolls have come with faceups.

    18. My first doll came with a faceup, but from there I jumped right in to buying a used doll that came to me unstrung and had no faceup... so I got to learn how to do a faceup AND restring my doll all in one! He was already damaged and his price reflected that, so I figured if I messed up it wouldn't really matter as much as it would if I had spent more on a brand new doll. ^_^;

    19. yes. it already has the company face up and i don't plan in changing it at the moment but for my second doll i'll be doing the face up. i'm pretty much excited :3

    20. My fist doll did come with a face up, was a custom repaint. My dolls are split between custom and factory face ups. I do have a couple of blank heads I plan to send out for face ups.
