Do you like the smell of resin?

Mmm...I do like the smell of resin, too.

 

I don't even notice the smell or think about it, just only when opening a brand new doll

 

I don't like it... but I love having my dolls in my arms

 

For some reason, I really, really like the smell of a new doll fresh out of the box.
Too bad it doesn't last too long, or least, it hasn't lasted that long with the two dolls I've gotten. ;__;

 

I could not believe how strong the smell was from my DD!
I get sensitive to really strong smells...it burns my nose and throat. She had that effect on me. After she aired out a bit I really enjoyed it. She smelled good for a month!

 

New doll smell is The Best!!! I keep them in the boxes so I can sniff them until it fades.....in case u r wondering...my labs at MD were fine last time. I sure hope that resin sniffing isn't outlawed...LOL!!

 

I love it! My akagidoll boy came with a sort of carrying case and it smells exactly like he does, when I take him home on the train with me I can rest my head on the case because its so soft and smell the awesome resin smell it has!

 

I despise the odor; they give me headaches. The first thing I do-unless they're wearing a faceup-is to give my dolls a nice bubble bath the day they arrive at my doorstep.

 

I hate the smell of new resin personally. Luckily I only smell it when opening a new doll and I can stand it until it fades.

 

I (unfortunately) have had a cold since I got my girl, so I have been missing out on knowing if I like the smell or not. I like a lot of strange smells (like scrubbing bubbles, or art stores, and dusty smoky chairs) so I might like it. ^.^

 

Ha yes, I do like the smell of resin. One of the things I like about my dolls is their smell. I have a box that I keep extra doll body parts in...and so it's a super concentrated resin smell when I open it up. And I love it! But I always liked the smell of plastics, different toys had different smells, I was a child of the 80's, and had My Little Ponies, Care Bears, She-Ra dolls, Breyer Horses and Transformers, they all had a distinct smell of their own and just a hint of those smells now brings a wash of happy childhood nostalgia. I think my resin dolls bring the same happy feelings now.

 

I love the smell of resin... but my last two dolls didnt arrive with the heavy smell...
I was rather disappointed by that
Still got the spare parts box though *sniff*

 

I think...

 

Oh lord!!!! When I first received my first doll, DOD, i absolutely loved the smell that arose from the box. Its addictive. I ordered 3 directly from the company and loved the smell. I had to mod a neck to make it more masculine and stocky, and shaving it down releases the smell. I ordered from Iplehouse directly, and almost nosedived to see if there was a smell. Needless to say i was almost shocked there was none. I wanted to post the video i made to Youtube, but the darn thing is too large apparently,

 

For me it really depends on the brand. Some are ok but others are too strong for me!

 

I don't like the smell of new resin. It turns my stomach and gives me a headache. Thankfully, since most of my dolls are second-hand, I haven't had to deal with it too much. One of my boy's extra hands still smell strongly of new resin, even though they're a number of months old. That's probably because I keep them in a box though.

 

It's kind of strong, but I like the smell because of what I associate it with. Resin smell means dolls, dolls mean happy, therefore resin smell means happy no matter how I cringe when I smell it.
Sorry I'm a science person.

 

Nope! Outgassing smells of any kind make me nervous. For those who say "it's just a smell," remind them that your nose works by molecules entering your body. When urethane resin outgasses, I believe what we are smelling is isocyanate. Please correct me, any chem majors out there. We are surrounded in our everyday lives by objects made with [FONT=Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]polymeric plastics, and all this stuff is supposed to be harmless when cured.

Anyway, when I get a doll, it stays in an open box in a bedroom that I don't sleep in. If it's been shut in a box for a few days, and I can't smell anything when I open the lid, that's when I consider it fully cured.

Waiting for someone to come up with dolls made of compressed bamboo or hemp fiber, but they would still probably be coated with a plastic sealant.

 

when my girl came to me, i did not smell the resin?... i either think i have a bad nose or the smell just was gone? i have no idea to be honest but i think i would like it.

 

I didn't really notice any odd smell when I took my doll out of the box and I haven't really gotten close to him and sniffed him. XD

My sense of smell must be a little off, but I guess I don't mind it? ^^'
