Do/Did you keep your very first doll? Or will you sell it?

I will ALWAYS keep her.... Even though that's only cause she's the only one I have so far XD

 

I have never sold any of my dolls. My first doll is Shiwoo Dreaming Vampire, he will have been with me for 5 years now. He is a bit yellow, got some body scratches, dinged his nose and I had to mod it. Last weekend he fell and his right ear broke. I glued it back and reinforced it, but I damaged a bit of the blushing around the side bottom of the face. I considered getting him a new head, but you know I couldn't. He is not perfect any more (I am a perfectionist and little things bug me), but if it wasn't for this doll I would not be in this hobby. He haunted me until I got him, and has given me many years of happiness at a most difficult time of my life. His name is Mr. Ryu Shiwoo and I cannot help but adore him.

 

i would keep my doll with me always, because he's is my first doll that makes something special, and i would ever sell him to nobody not even for a million dollars XP

 

I've only the one right now, with another on the way, but I've had him two months and I can't see myself ever getting rid of him

 

Technically yes, but she's just a practice head now (her body was sold long ago). She's an inexpensive vinyl doll and stained to boot, so I couldn't expect more than like $5 for her, so she's worth more to keep around. I wanted an anime style, Dollfie Dream style head, so I got an inexpensive one, but we just never bonded.

 

Well, I know I'm evil, but I didn't keep my first BJD. While she was lovely, my tastes changed a bit & I needed some cash so I decided to let her go. Guess I just don't have the emotional attachment to my dolls that many folks do though there are some that I can't imagine selling, at least until I become homeless.

 

Sadly no, I didn't keep my first doll. As I got more experienced with this hobby, my tastes changed (like so many others) and I fell in love with different more unstylized dolls. At the time I also was in need of some money. Do I wish that I kept him? Yes. But in the end he would have just sat on a shelf in my room or in a box. Not being enjoyed at all. Im a firm believer that these dolls are meant to be enjoyed, and if I couldn't enjoy him then Its best if he went to someone who would love him and take him to his full potential.

 

i won't sell my doll . though thinked about selling the first one and second one sometime~~~~~~~ XDD

 

Yep, I still have her.
And I plan to keep her forever unless something horrible and unpredictable happens to me.

 

I still have my first doll. I could be persuaded to sell her, maybe. I've discovered like the boys better. My second doll is definitely a keeper! He's my avatar

 

Nope. I thought I'd keep him forever but I sold him. I'm glad he went off to a better home.
As far as my second doll goes, that's another story. I don't know if I'll ever sell her. ^^

 

I still have my June. She has had so many bad faceups before she got her current faceup...which she gets to keep. I dropped her head once so she has a small flat spot on her nose(not to terribly noticeable though) I've considered selling her, even put her for sale once but I couldn't go through with it...she's just to cute and pretty to let go.

 

I still have my first.

 

No, and I don't think I will. He was my first love in the BJD world and I got his head, then his body followed. My Yeon Ho will be with me for a long while to come. He's over 2 years old and going strong.

That being said, I feel I have to put the above statement into an actual context, as so many first time doll getters say something like that and their tastes change. Personally, I have sold a lot of dolls since getting my first. I have also kept a lot of dolls that I have bought after my first. I only have one criteria for keeping a doll. I must adore them entirely and be inspired by them. So in other words, the ones I have that I don't sell, stay with me and do not get sold.

I guess I'm the kind of person that doesn't think twice about selling a doll I don't feel inspired to be creative with. If my first doll had fallen into that category, yes I would have sold him by now. However, it just so happens, he isn't one that falls into that category.

 

I never say never but I can't see myself ever parting with my Zaoll. She's just special because she was first and I can't see my tastes changing after it took me years to decide on her in the first place. Even if she was lost or damaged I'd replace her ASAP.
not that I'm particularly sentimental, I'd sell another doll without second thoughts if I really didn't want it anymore.

 

Hell, I couldn't sell my first doll if I wanted to--she's old and probably a knock off so no one would want her now except for me. She's my "starter doll" and spends most of her time disassembled as I play and practice with her. Despite all that though, she's my lil' trooper.

 

Now that's committment!

My first doll is still with me after 9 months together. She's a DOD Tender Shall and her name is Amalthea. I have 4 boys and she's my only girl. I used to think I'd never, ever buy another girl. But lately I've been thinking differently. I'm NOT going to replace her but I feel like I need another female doll to off-set Amalthea's quiet, reserved personality. I don't think she wants to share a body with a DOD Tender Elf Sha so I'm just going to go and buy a new girl. Another reason I want another girl is because I want a vessel, a representation of a different part of my personality. Amalthea certainly represents a side of me but she lacks duality. But I'll always love Amalthea and I'll never replace her.

 

Oh, sadly, no. I just couldn't bond with her and I put her up FS on the MP. In fact, I'm shipping her out to the buyer Tuesday. I'm glad that she's going to a good home though instead of sitting in my room staring at my walls

 

I don't think I'll ever sell any of my dolls. I'm having enough trouble getting myself to sell my Ty beanie babies I've had since I was a kid.

So heck yes I have my first doll still, a basic Pipos Dali.

 

My first, and currently only doll, Shiori (Volks SD Sara) is what I fondly call a foster child. I adopted her from someone, who adopted her from someone else, who bought her from Volks. She's a lovely girl, and the fact that she switched homes so many times became a key point in my development of her character, story and personality. I know I'm keeping her forever! A little resin heart can only knock on so many doors, after all.
