    2. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?
      Once I find eyes I like for each of them, I keep those eyes and don't change them, but I love wigs so I do change their wigs a lot to create new looks and see what they'd look like with different hair colors and styles...it's so much fun!
      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?
      No, I love all my dolls as they are, and changing their looks just makes me enjoy and appreciate them even more..
      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?
      I have twelve dolls, and I have about twice as many wigs & eyes as I do dolls! :P
       
    3. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      I change them depending on my/his mood, and sometimes whether or not he's cosplaying. To me, he's still Haelyn, whether he's Haelyn-with-a-dye-job or Haelyn-with-colour-contacts... it's not really the hair/eyes that bother me, so much as what will happen when I get to change his faceup. Granted, I did change his wigs a lot (he only had one pair of eyes then) before he got his face, so maybe that was part of the reason why it doesn't seem like such a big change to me.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      Nope! He's still the same dude. I kind of answered this in question one... oops. :D

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      With my one doll, I have three wigs and two pairs of eyes. With the others I plan to have, I imagine I'm getting about the same: two or three wigs and two or three pairs of eyes. My one future!girl doll will have way more wigs, because her personality is one that likes to change hair styles a lot.
       
    4. No, I haven't yet..mostly because I don't have the money to afford all my hobbies right now and have to make some sacrifices here and there. n___n;; Besides, my doll is a set character to me and how he looks now is my vision of him, I guess. There are alternate eyes I'd like to get when they are back in stock on Dollmore, but other than that I don't plan on changing him anytime soon. :P
       
    5. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      I have a few dolls that have change looks here and there, but they usually keep the same wigs and eyes most of the time. My oldest doll has had the same wig for about six years, though she did wear her default for a short time until her regular wig arrived.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      Nope, usually if I've changed a doll a lot, it is because I can't focus on a style for them and they aren't clicking in the collection and they move on. Sometimes I've tried new things but then if it doesn't work I just change them back.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      I have a lot of unused eyes, and a few wigs. I don't find a lot of wigs that I like and want to buy, so it takes me a long time to bulk up on them. I have a lot of eyes though because I don't like the acrylic eyes many of my dolls have brought here with them.
       
    6. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      I wouldn't say i change them frequently, but occasionally yes. My girl has a default appearance of a long black wig with pale silvery purple eyes though.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      I wouldn't say fallen out of love with but there have been wigs i thought i'd love on her and hated. Those were re-sold or given away. If something like that happens just change it back to what it was before or keep trying.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      At the moment for wig dolls it's 3 to about 12 wigs. for doll eyes it's 1 to about 15 or 16 pairs. (i really need to clean most of them out i won't ever use them x,x)
       
    7. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?
      I have eyes and wigs picked out before they get here :> Even if I don't have them on hand, I know exactly what color and style I want. That goes right along with deciding what sculpt I want!
      Tuesday does/will, however, have a couple different styles. It's in his character to change his hair fairly frequently, but the colors are always white, blue, and pink. Currently, he has two wigs - and he's not even here yet~
      In the future/when I win the lottery, I plan on buying more wigs for Zin, whose character also has gone through a few different variations on a theme, but until I can afford things like that, he has one classic style that I just can't imagine him without.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      Nope. I know what I want before they arrive. If I changed their look and didn't like it, I'd change it back. There was a reason I picked out the original look to begin with, apparently XD

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?
      Three dolls in my possession : five wigs (two are waiting for Tuesday, one is a freebie backup) : four pairs of eyes (two freebies that don't fit anyone). And none of that belongs to poor Lottie...
       
    8. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      I buy lots of both eyes and wigs in different styles and colors and keep changing them whenever I feel like doing it.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      Yes! It DOES make a difference!

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      Mm... Let me count. I own 15 wigs and 7 pairs of eyes for just 2 dolls (they'll be 4 when the two I'm waiting get here) UXD
       
    9. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about your doll's personality?

      So far, I have only one pair of eyes - the ones that Gwalchmei came with. I need to buy him appropriate ones. Once I have hold of a good pair, I don't think I'll change them anymore, especially since my three characters are family and have the same eye colour. Changing one would mean changing all.

      I have three wigs for Gwalchmei though, and another two (:sweat) on order. The thing is that I need a very particular colour for him, and it's really difficult to judge from on-screen photos if a wig is going to have the right colour. It's possible that if I find the perfect wig I'll just use that one all the time and sell the others... Though - the one he's wearing now may not be the right shade of red, but he looks great in it, so I don't think that one is going anywhere... *grins*

      I do intend to give my dolls different period looks, which may or may not involve different wig styles. Should be fun :).

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      Gwalchmei is Gwalchmei. It's impossible to fall out of love with him ;). That said, he's been with me for a week now, and my other two haven't arrived yet. *grins*

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      Gwalchmei: 3 wigs + 2 incoming. Morgana: 2 wigs + 1 incoming. Gawain: 1 wig incoming + 1 being coveted. Heh.

      I'm not going to have so many eyes, I think. Morgana and Gwalchmei each get a replacement of their default ones, and Gawain doesn't come with eyes so I'll just get him the right colour straight away. That said, as I have no experience with eyes I may be foolish in thinking that the eyes I order will be immediately right...?
       
    10. Oh, that was a good question!
      I am also a newbie to the hobby and also only have one doll for now, although after having her for almost a year I am beginning to look at those posable 1/6 Minifees...
      Here are my thoughts on the matter:

      1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?
      I would change her wig, even to a different colour, as she could have just colored her hair, but it would always be a long haired wig. It just is in her personality. I would not change her eyes though. Her light green eyes just suit her so well, that I think she would never be the same with a different colour.
      In effect: I would change what she could change herself but I would not make her into someone else.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?
      No. I have gotten her exactly for who she was. I will get another doll if I will want another look. That is, she can wear different style clothes, she can change time periods, but she will always look like herself. No modding into a boy or altering facial features etc.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?
      I own only one for now. I might get her a sleeping faceplate if that becomes available. Fo now she has one wig + there came an extra gift wig from Dollmore with her but I never use it. I am planning to get her another wig soon. No extra eyes.

      Cassiel is important to me the way she is and I am not willing to alter her appearance cardinally, only, like a lady could, change her hairstyle and attire. :)
       
    11. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      Never have changed the eyes but people can change their hair so occassionally I'll change the wig but it's only temporary.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?
      YES. Ended up getting bored with him :( so i changed him completely ^^

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      I have LESS eyes than dolls and TONS of wigs >.<
       
    12. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality? I also only have one doll. I changed her eyes from the ones she came with from lavender to blue. She also came with a wig that she had for the longest time. I think it fits her perfectly because it's not very feminine. Right now she's borrowing a faux fur wig I ordered for a doll I'm waiting on, and I really like how it looks on her, but I don't think I'm willing to completely change her appearance.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her? Nope, her body and face is what I love. No hair or eye combination can change her character.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have? I have one doll and two wigs and two sets of eyes. But that's only because I'm waiting on a doll. I really want to hoard wigs, though.
       
    13. My little non-Asian BJD currently has three custom made mohair wigs with two more on the way. She has 10 pairs of eyes from glow in the dark to steam punk and I have only had her one month. I LOVE buying stuff for her.

      I used to make porcelain and then OOAK dolls so I have a gi-normous collection of wigs, eyes etc. Used to travel around to doll shows before I got older. I have made a zillion wigs and have started making some for my bjds which is a recent hobby. So for that answer I have enough wigs, eyes, and wig making material to supply a good sized army of dolls!

      As far as falling out of love...My DikaDoll Finn Swordsman was a limited edition that is sold out. I loved him when I got him. He has a long silver wig, red eyes, and a gorgeous Kung Fu outfit. But I got tired of his look so got him a natty white tux, blonde hair, and changed out his red eyes for blue ones. He was my second full set. I have since sort of fallen out of love with these big boys. I am getting much more comfortabel taking them apart.
       
    14. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?
      I often change eyes and wigs of my dolls. Not because of giving them an other personality, I just love to give them a new look matching other outfits. For eyes I only change them quite often when the doll is new to my family. I change them until I feel like they are just made for them and cannot imagine anything better - after this I never change the eyes again. But for the wigs I often try new ones (but not with all my dolls - some of them never change)

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?
      If I'd fell out of love for the doll after changing, I'd just change back the look.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?
      I have lots of eyes and far too many wigs compared to my dolls. I'm addicted in buying eyes.
       
    15. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      initially when i got into this hobby, i wanted 1 girl, and she would be a wig whore basically...i got some crazy wigs, crazy eyes and lots of things. after i got her, she seemed to only wear her 1 blonde wig. i eventually got a similar color in a synthetic, non mohair wig, and she wears mostly that now. as for eyes, for awhile she had blue ones, but i eventually also returned her to her "natural" brown. i like her remaining in that combo, and don't usually change her at all. most of my other dolls now, have one combo and they stay that way. i have a girl hopefully on the way in another month or so, that will have a few different wigs, but shes much crazier of a character/personality to handle the switches.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      yes. but i changed the faceup. she was supposed to get something similar to her orig default look, but the artist, while she did a great job, it didnt "recapture" the essence of the character. so i ended up redolling her and hiring a diff artist, and now i love her all over again. it hasnt happened with anyone else though, just by changing wigs and/or eyes. i find that i can change the wigs or eyes and its like "oh thats very so and so!" or vice versa

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      currently 2 dolls, and 2 heads. 4 wigs, about about 8 pairs of eyes, bc they are for some dolls that arent home yet.
       
    16. My doll have her own personality and of course a real eye and hair color, like her natural eye and hair color. She also have her own style of dresses and favorite color :lol:

      I have my doll since yesterday, so she is my first one. I bought her 2 wigs (brown and rose) and brown eye balls. I decided to change sometimes the wig, like someone goes to the hairdresser and cut or dye the hair but i want the eyes to be brown (always).
       
    17. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality? It depends on the doll. Some have a set look. Like Hansel's eyes and wig are perfect and haven't been changed since I got him a year ago. Some get new eyes or wig (like if when acrylic eyes start getting yellowed or yucky or a wig starts to frizz), but only then. others, like Loki, change the wig with seasons. He "cuts" his hair in spring, then lets it "grow" out in the fall. Loki also gets frequent eye changes because his character has a fascination with crazy colored contacts.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her? No. If the new wig or eyes aren't right for the character, I just stick the old ones back on. Easy as that.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have? I have 12 full dolls, 2 floating heads and a doll on layaway right now. I have probably 25 or 30 wigs and a whole box of loose eyes! (most for Loki..lol)
       
    18. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?

      Wigs I change out all the time. I do usually settle on a hair color for each doll, but several styles, depending on what clothes they're wearing or the setting. Right now, I have two dolls that do change hair color frequently, but that is a personality quirk. So yeah, a lot of wigs.

      Eyes, not so much. Mainly because most of my dolls are Blue Fairy Tiny Fairies and their head-caps are difficult to remove.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      No. Just changing out eyes and wigs is easy, so if I don't like the way it looks, I just put on another wig/or set of eyes. But if a doll had a face-up change, then it is harder to adjust. Mine all have the default.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      Oh, gosh, I have a LOT of wigs compared to the dolls (some of which don't work and I'll sell), whereas with eyes, once I settle on a pair I like, they tend to stay there. I do keep the default eyes in case I have to sell the dolls.

      Edit: text correction!
       
    19. I do change my dolls wigs and eyes, but mostly when I first get them. Once I perfect their look I am more likely not to change it. I have so many eyes and wigs its crazy.
       
    20. 1. Do you change his/her wigs/eyes frequently or do you settle on one combination after you've found out about you're dolls personality?
      I occasionally change my doll's hair style, but only as a normal person would after a while. It has to stay within their personality always, but I'm not opposed to change!
      The eyes.. usually don't change unless I find a better quality one with the same sort of look.

      2. Have you changed the look of you're doll and fell out of love with him/her?

      I've loved my dolls from the second I get them. Face-ups are usually the final thing that brings them all together for me.

      3. How many dolls do you own compared to the amount of wigs and eyes you have?

      I have... 6 dolls and 9 wigs.. so I have a few spares. I have a ton of spare eyes though.. I'm not even sure how many.
