Do you care if other people like your doll?

Not really. They're mostly odd sculpts with really bland characters, so I could even understand a distaste for them--which I wouldn't mind. Everyone's go their own tastes!

 

Nah. I don't care about what other people think of my dolls. What matters the most to me is the pleasure I get from playing and customizing my dolls.

 

I actually don't care. I'm this way about everything. From my hair to my clothing choices cosplay decisions all of it. Unless someone else is buying it then I don't give two craps about what they think my family and friends included. Prime example, my boyfriend really disliked Doll Chateau Delia. But I love her and she's in my wish list along with two others that he and the rest of my family dislikes and keeps telling me over and over I shouldn't get them but I have no intention of changing my mind because it's my doll. And my money and I am going to get what I like granted if they want to buy me a doll I got a few to pick from but if not. I'm getting what I want.

 

I like my dolls, that's enough for me I know different people have different hobbies and have different opinions. Just like I cannot make everyone like me, I cannot make everyone like my dolls. Though it's happier to have more friends who adore my dolls but not feel scare of them.

 

My daughter was the one who got me into this hobby. I have "popular" dolls because I wanted to please her. I try to customize them in a way she would approve of even though she dropped out of the hobby to pursue her art. I had to wipe off several faceup attempts because I value her opinion. I know my husband is supportive because he supports anything I do creatively. My son couldn't care less. As far as others are concerned I don't mind getting feedback but I don't make my decisions on doll purchases or aesthetics based on others opinions.

 

I have been collecting dolls for years and have learned not to give two hoots what people think - its my money and my choice

 

Long answer:

Re: my personal dolls - People like what they like and don't like what they don't like and they're going to say stuff about it either way. They're mine, I care about as much as I care when someone thinks I have stupid glasses or has an opinion about my food choices, which is to say I hardly notice.

Re: sculpts, styles or dolls I like - I actually feel a little thrill when it seems like something that appeals to me is unpopular, not because I'm special in any way for having rotten taste but more because I'm like WOOO MORE FOR ME IT'LL BE EASIER TO GET THE THING

Short answer: nope

 

I don't really care what my family/friends think about the dolls I choose. Then again, I never consult anyone else before I buy a new doll, either.

It's nice if others think they're neat or pretty, but if no one likes my dolls, it's not the sort of thing that upsets me.

 

I do care a little if someone does not like my doll but ONLY if they say it out loud or write it in not so nice way. If the thought only stays inside that person's head then no problem-o at all~ I do accept their opinion and don't go argue about the matter of taste.

 

I don't really care if people like my doll or not. I love her because she was right for me. My friends know this and think she is beautiful. Just like how I think their dolls are also beautiful and special in their own ways.

 

I care about constructive criticism in my work, but when it comes to my taste I don't really care what people has to say. It is my taste and my style and of course I love to mold my dolls around that, instead of what people think as nice or cute. In the end if I enjoy what I'm doing and I like what I'm doing then that's all that really matters.

If we are talking about people liking my doll as it is and enjoying it then I love it is always good to know that people appreciate what you are doing and even have the same taste as you! Makes you feel like you are not as lonely =u=;;

 

LOL NOPE. My doll is for me only :3 Plus I'll be honest, my family really doesn't get dolls and think that all BJDs are beautiful because they always compare them to Barbies, lol. But I have an instagram and I always make sure to post pictures where Flynn looks photogenic haha so I guess a tiny bit >-<

 

My girlfriend is the one who even gave me the courage to spend all that money and order my first doll (I was wary about spending that much on something I'd never seen) and she has a long list of pet peeves with dolls. she's also my writing partner, and some of my dolls are for characters she writes. The real battle has been knowing when to say "no. This is the sculpt." And when to say "i like this head but might consider a different body." And so on (as her main pet peeves are things about bodies.) I suppose we make it work because we've admittedly gotten better at communicating, and because at times I can just say "my cash, my choice." Usually, she likes them in the end.

 

I love all my dolls regardless of company, price, and style -from ResinSoul to Dollshe, from Impldoll to Iplehouse.

I know it feels nice when others like your dolls, and it can feel crushing when they don't, but ultimately the dolls you choose should make you happy.

 

No, it's only important that I myself like my dolls.
If someone likes my dolls, cool - if not, that's cool too, as I don't have to like all other people's dolls too.

 

Dolls are super cool, if you like them don't be embarrassed about having them. If people are mean to you about what type of doll you have or that you have them, they are people not worth listening to. Negativity is not cool ever. Be proud, surround yourself with cool people.

 

I want everyone to love my doll as much as I do. She is a goddess.

 

Not really.

 

I like my dolls, and that's all I need.
Of course, I am happy when others like my dolls, but it's not important for me.

 

No, I don't care if other people like or dislike my dolls. If someone likes my dolls, I take it as a great compliment. If someone doesn't like my dolls, oh well.

There are always going to be people who only like sculpts from certain companies, and scorn all others. Some people might also like a certain doll, but hate the faceup, wig, eyes, clothing, and backstory an owner gave it. Everyone has his or her own tastes, and that is perfectly normal. The important thing is that you like your dolls. After all, it is your money that you are spending, not theirs. Their opinion should not affect how you plan out your doll.

Now, if my mother offered to buy a doll (or outfit) for me, I might try to find something that both of us like, since it would be her money as well--but that is just me.
