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

I have my first doll and have no plans to part with him! He's a Dollzone Mo.

 

My first doll is on his way out. Had him for about 1.5 years, and during that time learnt a lot about what I wanted and didn't want in the BJD hobby. I definitely had lots of fun with him, but I love my "younger" (newer!) dolls more now, so it's time for him to move on.

 

I don't think I would ever sell my doll. I only have one at this time, but I cannot see myself ever selling her... She's like a child to me, I would see it as giving my daughter away. I can fully understand why someone would sell their doll, or feel comfortable selling it, but I know I wouldn't be able to do it. If I were in need of money, I'd sell many other things before I even would think about selling my doll.

 

I still have my First Doll Kai who i've had now since Nov 2009 (that little cutie in my DP) , he's still my fave xD i couldnt dream of ever parting with him 33

 

I'd never get rid of my first doll. He's my ONLY doll right now, but that doesn't matter. I could have 100 and there'd still be a very special place in my heart for my first. I would be devastated if anything ever happened to him to make me lose him, so I'd never ever sell him.

Of course I have 2 new dolls on the way and I don't think I'll ever sell them, either. I don't buy dolls unless I connect with them. I've had one doll for 3 years and am just now getting another one. But I'm sure many people have no intention of selling a doll when they order it, but stuff happens. *shrugs* So who knows? But I DO know that I'll NEVER get rid of Tovarious.

 

I found a home for my first. I discovered that I do not like the Haruka head, I like the Gretel. I found a home with someone in love with the Haruka. The doll has to be what I envision in my head before I will keep it.

 

my first was Lishe. i spent a lot of time looking before i begged to get her. i have had her about 5 years now and i love her just as much now as i did then.

 

Since it is difficult for me to decide which doll was my first (the one ordered first? the one arrived first? the first doll of the size I decided to collect?) I count 3 dolls as my first dolls - Becky, Hawa and Sean. Of those, I cannot see me selling any unless I would be in a very unfortunate financial situation (but then having to sell dolls would be the smallest problem I guess).
Becky is styled to represent a little someone I really love ^^, Hawa is Becky's mom (can't leave a kid without its mom!) - and also I bought her secondhand what out of some reason intensifies my affection for her, and Sean is one of my dream dolls. I guess I could sell Becky and Hawa if I found doll "bodies" that represent the characters better, though (This does not apply to Sean, if he was to be reshelled, I would still keep the doll and give it a new character additionally). That is, if I ever manage to sell anything. I am not good at that But one can learn.

 

My first doll (the first that I ordered) was a hybrid, and I sold her 2 years later because I didn't like her body. However, I have recently bought back her head, and am looking for a better body for her. So, it looks like I did get nostalgic, but my first try wasn't quite right, so I'm trying again.​

 

My first was Micah, my Feeple Riff and I still have him. He is awesome, and my favorite out of my five. I do not forecast selling any of my dolls, but I never forecasted finding new homes for my two horses either. If life ever throws me a curve where I must part with my dolls, Micah will probably be the last one to go.

 

Even though some others have left, my first is still here. There is just something I like about her from the moment her box was opened.

 

My first was an Obitsu Henzel. I wanted to start off the hobby with something not too expensive just in case I destroyed her or something experimenting! I did end up cutting her a bit on accident while doing a small mod and so now she has a scar but I think that's just another thing that makes her unique and I can look at that and remember the times when I was still learning. I could never sell her, if I feel like I'm not connecting with her, I'll just change her character, as I have done many times before. She's stained and full of imperfections but to me, that's what makes her perfect.

 

I do keep my first doll and he's apparently the most pampered one among the crew ^_^He is Pan from Ringdoll
It may be due to the sentimental values within XD...although he's not that expensive as compared to my newer boys,not of the best quality but I still love him the most

 

I still have my first doll (it'll be four years this summer). Even though I dropped out of the hobby a few times since I got her, I only considered selling her once--and that made me realize that I really, really don't want to get rid of her. Even if I get distracted by my newer dolls, she has a special place in my collection. If I ever have to sell my dolls for whatever reason, she'll be the last one out the door.

 

I gave my first doll to my friend for her bday bc My MSDs where taking too much attention from her. she was getting ignored (feel bad) plus its hard to make clothes for a doll that small. shes getting better attention now

 

I couldn't ever imagine getting rid of my first doll, she was a dream doll of mine and it took me more then two years to choose which doll would be my first.

 

Yep! I still have him, actually it's been over two years and he's my only one... and honestly, I'm enjoying it that way. xD I had a lot of firsts with him, so he has a tremendous amount of sentimental value to me.

 

I love my first doll and have never thought to sell her. She is my baby.

 

Yes, I still have my AOD Min, and I love him dearly, as much as I did when I first purchased him ^.^

 

I still have my first boy, hes the one I consider to be my first and I still love him. I've thought about re-shelling him as an SD but even if I did I'm not sure I'd be able to sell him.

The problem I'm having now is that hes over 5 years old and his faceup is starting to show a bit of wear. I'm not sure if/who I would send him off to to get it redone. Especially since the last doll I sent off to get a new faceup similar to his default looks nothing like it.
