Yep. I still have mine and they're still among my favorites. ^_^ (I got my Shiwoo twins together, so my "first doll" was actually a pair... Harumatsu and Tien Jen. Ordered in December 2005, received in January 2006)
Brightfires, I just stalked your profile and I have to say that is an impressive doll family. You definately have been doing this for awhile.
I do! I consider him "retired", as he stays boxed in my closet and doesn't fit in with my current crew at all, but I do still have him. April 2 will mark nine years since I placed his order!
Got my first doll, a DOD Lahoo, in April of 2006. He's still with me, and still the one doll that's the closest to my heart.
Ah it breaks my heart a bit but I sold my 1st doll a few years back. She was a dollmore Ipsae I got in 2006. I had gotten scammed aound 2012 and was so hurt I sold all my dolls and quit the hobby. I came back awhile ago, a little older and wiser. I love all my new dolls but I do miss my old ones some times
I sold my first about a year after I got him. He was a mini and my crew had skewed heavily toward the large dolls, so he didn't really fit in anymore. So I passed him on to another owner.
Got my first doll in Aug 2006 and my second in May 2007. Was away from the hobby/ community for quite some years, but my two boys have always been with me.
I still have her right now, but I'm trying to sell her. If she doesn't I'll likely keep her and send her out for a proper faceup. I still like her a lot, just not sure she works for what I want now. I do have one of my first dolls though, got her in 2007! I can't see ever getting rid of her and I sent her out for a faceup already!
I ordered my first in December of 2006 and got her in January 2007. She is still with me and the most spoiled of the lot.
Sold it because I made the mistake of buying a white skin doll. He was already old, yellowing, and had a few cracks(bought him preowned) and I just didn't want to deal with the possible headache of it getting worse. The person I sold him too didn't seem to mind.
I have had my first doll for about 4 years and I can't see me ever selling him. When I first got him I loved him but I always kept his box and papers because I assumed I would some day sell him, but now I just can't see that happening. I haven't sold any dolls yet (I only have 3) but I don't know if I'd ever be able to sell any of them honestly >.<
I sadly, and regrettably, sold my first girl - a RS Dai. I'm horrid when it comes to big resin bodies (thankfully small I can manage)...and she just sat around...and around...until I finally sold her. Then, I think, less than a year later the idea dawned on me to hybridize my big resin onto vinyl! Go figure, right? Ah well, at least her new owner was a BJD newbie and was very excited to have her so I'm sure she went to a good home. I truly hope that I'll be able to get a hold of a RS Dai head and hybridize in the future (same with another resin boy I had sold).
I do still have my first. He is my favorite a Doll FamilyH Lyndon and I don't ever see myself getting rid of him.
I sold it. I was trying to shell a specific character, and she wasn't quite right. Plus, there's no way I could have afforded more than one at the time. My tastes changed, too, so I don't feel too bad. But she was lovely.
My first doll will turn ten this March! And I have never considered selling her. She has been complete for a long time so she doesn't get as much attention as the dolls I am still working on, but she's my beauty and the collection would feel so empty without her.
When I started in the hobby I got a Fairyland Puki Puki to see how their famous engineering was. For comparison I ended up getting a RS doll around the same time. Last fall I sold the Puki Puki to fund a new doll. The RS doll fell to be subject of modding from the start so it's still hanging around.
