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

I don't really feel like selling her. I'm thinking of getting her a different body, but as for her head... I decided on it in such a rush, and it was such a great coincidence that it actually looks good (the company pics are horrible and they were the only ones available. I don't know what I was thinking), I've grown very attached.
I suppose there may come a day when I tire of her, and if I'm still in the hobby then, I might want to sell her. I wouldn't consider it a sacrilegious act just because she's my first. That's like saying you shouldn't give up your boy- or girlfriend because they're your first.

 

I was looking for my firs doll for too long to just sell him. Even if he will become canary yellow he will stay with me

 

No. My first doll was a Volks Megu and I sold her to get Soom Kanoa, then I sold him and it got kinda crazy after that. Lol!

My first doll is an Iplehouse JID Soa and she's never leaving me. She's just to precious to me.

 

My first doll is my Minifee Shushu! I bought her secondhand, and I wasn't sure about the sculpt. But as time went on, and she got a faceup, I fell in love with her. She is my only doll at the moment, but her new cousin will be here thursday! yippee!

 

Still got my ResinSoul Long's head...modded it though, then swapped out his body for a slightly more built one...

 

My first doll was a MiniFee Dark Elf Soo A-Line. I was forced to sell her so long ago, I really needed the money so bad... But fortunately some time ago I ordered her again but this time in tan skin!!...

So happy that I'll have her again with me.

 

Yup! First doll was a DollShe Bermann and he's still with me. Not going anywhere unless tragedy strikes!

 

Yes! My first doll is DZ Nina, I got her way back in 2007. She is in my doll room (i.e. my bookshelf ) along with all her sisters!

 

My first BJD is/was a Pukifee Flora I named Rose Merry. She is still my favorite doll. I think if I ever completely quit dolls, I will keep Rose Merry. I have sold her body and replaced it with a new one a few times when the body gets floppy but it's the same face plate looking back at me.

 

I still have my first doll, and I will never give him up! I love him far too much. I couldn't imagine selling him.

 

I don't think I could ever sell my first doll. It just pains me to even think about it.
Every time I read about someone selling their first doll I feel upset and I sense that my girl feels a bit insecure. She is my closest friend and I simply adore her, I think I would die of starvation before I sold her.

 

No. Sadly, I had to sell my first doll (A Unoa) years ago after some nasty stuff happened in my life. It was the right thing to do, but I miss the little gal. Poor thing had suffered through like, a million awful faceups and I had just started to get good when I had to sell her. I also sold an f-04, a Soom Namu and a Volks Kun. I did keep my second doll though, my f-05. I just could not bear to give her up. Also under her faceup she's pretty old and yellowed and splotchy so I don't think anyone would value her like I do. Part of it is that I was just so proud I could fix her up and make her look pretty again... I look at her and I think about how far my skills have come in the past 10 years. I miss my Unoa a lot though, but at the time she was the doll I owned that was worth the most money, and it made sense to sell her.

 

I still have my first and I have no plans on selling her. I've had her for a couple of years now and she is still my favourite.

 

Yes and no. My first girl was an older Dollzone, and I came to dislike her body shape and posing. At the same time I still love her, and she's quite sentimental as she was a gift (and one of the few times I got something equal to my brothers). So I ended up splitting her and selling the body. She's just a head for now until I find a body with the right shape and resin tone (something like a Feeple 65cm's figure but closer to 58cm!)

 

I've got all my dolls except a head that didn't fit it broke my heart a little to sell, but I was on a dolly diet at the time and didn't want to buy yet another body. My first doll, almost forgot to put he's a Lati Red Line K, is a bit stiff in the joints, he squeaks when I took him down to make an outfit for him yesterday. O_o He's sat for so long all his joints kind of froze. Weird that. I'm wondering if I should find something to oil him with?

 

My tastes in dolls changed a huge amount during my first year of collecting - so my first doll (Angel of Dream Qian) fell out of favour. I swapped her head for a different one, and 'Eunice's head' lay eyeless in a box for months Eventually I decided to sell her - put her head back on, eyes in, got her box out, unpacked it all, stripped her off for photos and.....I COULDN'T DO IT!!! Something about her - she is so beautifully made, strung and painted - heavy and smooth and pretty, with that faint little smile which Qian has - And after all, she was my FIRST DOLL. So I decided not to be rash - to see how I felt in a few months. She annoyed me so much during those months, sat in front of me all day - nothing like the kind of dolls I now wanted - I quite disliked her! But slowly and surely I grew 'accustomed to her face' - as the song goes.... I look at her now and I'm so glad I didn't sell her!

 

Yes, i still have her at home and will never sell her!

 

yes I do keep them. they were two, came together, love them. And I've thinking of expanding the family but they will always have the center spot. they dragged me into this hobby

 

I will never get rid of my first doll, Dionne. No matter what doll I want and how much he goes up in price I just can't bring myself to do it. I love him like a child and I couldn't give up my kid now could I?

On top of that he was a gift from my beloved, which makes him all the more valuable to me. I haven't quite completed his character or given him a face, but when I do he will be all over the gallery.
