Do you care if other people like your doll?

I pick my doll because I love or adore it no matter what other people say or think it is what I think and want in the end.

 

If I like a doll, I will put it in my wish list, If I have a sculpt I love I will buy it right away. I do not really care what other people say about it

 

I'd say I do and I don't.

I don't care at all if someone doesn't like one of my dolls. I bought each one because I loved them, and I could not possibly care less what you think about them. I actually dealt with this a fair amount when I was very early in the hobby--my roommate at the time got SDs and thought I should move up to them instead of my MSDs; I attended a doll panel at a con where the presenters declared "anything from China is crap, don't waste your money" (three of my first four were from Chinese companies, and are all still with me); it's toned down now, but in the past there were quite a few digs on the company making one of my dolls... but they made me happy, and even if they had amateur faceups (and still do, since the blank ones get priority over anyone who just needs refreshing right now) and rough wigs (those are starting to get replaced!), I liked them and learned very quickly to not give a darn what anyone else thought.

However, when I have a doll someone likes? You'd better believe I care then. I really appreciate their compliments, and they make me strive to make that doll and his or her photos even better, to be worthy of the compliments!

 

Everybody has different tastes in what they like, and don't like. If someone doesn't like my doll I wouldn't care because what is important is that I like my doll.

 

My mother actually hates my modded Vampire Shiwoo. I don't care that she hates him, I love him anyway no matter what she says.

 

The opinion about the sculpt it self doesn't really bother me, Because the way I see it is different than the way others will see it, but the opinion about it after I buy it and customize it is really important to me because it's more like judging my work on a specific doll, and many times I have seen sculpts that I thought I would never like it, but when I saw it with it's owners on YouTube after customizing it and give it a character I totally loved it.

 

Of course I love it when other people like my dolls, but at the end of the day I'm the one spending hundreds/thousands on these guys and my personal aesthetics should come first.

 

I don't care what other people think about my dolls. I buy them for me and noone else. Mind you, if someone says that they do like them it's awesome!

 

It's always nice to hear someone gasp with admiration at your things, and say they like it, of course. But I really don't mind if other people don't like my things, my style or my dolls. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

 

I am absolutely flattered if someone likes my dolls and I do like getting compliments about them. I guess I can't say I'm indifferent about the opinion of others in that case. However I won't ever change something about a doll unless I think it should be changed since I realize I can't create a doll that everyone will like. The most important thing is that I love the doll I created and that it makes me happy when I look at him/her. If you are into a hobby just for the appreciation of others then I don't think you're doing it for the right reasons.

 

Thankfully my girlfriend thinks all my dolls are great because her opinion is the only one that matters to me. But even then if I really loved a sculpt enough to bring it home I wouldn't care if she didn't like it. This is my hobby and no one's opinions will change that.

 

Nope - I don't care if anyone else likes my dolls. My husband is very supportive so that really helps. I imagine if it bothered him I wouldn't get to keep them out or even be able to buy as many as I have.

 

Well, I haven't received my first bjd yet, but when she does arrive I would like for other people to like her. Still, if they don't then I'm not going to feel dejected. Can't expect others to like something just because you do. My husband tolerates my love of dolls (bless him!), but I know that he thinks they are a waste of money and he would much rather see me spending my money on other things (like a new set of rims for the car - borrringgg!).

 

I don't care if other people doesn't like my dolls, since I really love them the way they are. BUT, I'm very glad if they do like them, I feel like I've done something really great and pretty with them, it makes me really happy !

 

No one who has seen my dolls have issues with any particular sculpt per say but my mum is the only person who is actually supportive of the hobby in general. She'll say "are you sure that one is a girl?" sometimes but its more funny than not because the Dollzone Luke is very chubby cheeked and can look a tad girly XD

It's my other family members (mainly my dad and sister) who think the hobby is weird and therefore think I'm weird for having them. And yeah, that stings a bit because I hardly want family to think something I love is weird. But it doesn't take away from or change my mind about owning them plus my mum has snipped at them both for rude comments XD

 

i dont care what people say about my dolls. I love them no matter what.

 

I pick dolls because I happen to like them,it doesn't really matter what others think.

 

I'm in a half and half. I notice that I have a difficult time keeping a doll if I don't get feedback on it. Dolls are very much like my art to me. If I'm getting neutral or no conversation on it I want to move on to something else. I like being able to share my dolls too and so if people don't find them interesting it makes me want to choose something else!

 

I can honestly say I couldn't care less if no one else liked the sculpts I choose/love.

What I do care about though is that my daughters hate them, not the sculpts, just dolls in general. I probably wouldn't admit it anywhere else, but I worry what will happen to them when I die. Not my daughters ... the dolls :/

 

There'll always be reasons why people like or don't like my dolls. I don't care about non-BJD people, but honestly, it wouldn't exactly brighten up my day if friends in the hobby "dislike" without offering critique. I'd want to know why, so I could either do something about it (for example, badly styled wigs, faceup problems etc) or not (for example: sorry, the rotating peen is permanent^^).
