Do you still have your first doll?

No, I don't.

She was an amazing starter doll for me, but eventually I figured out that I preferred another kind of doll/brand. Still miss her from time to time, though.

 

My first doll was a Delf Soony from luts around 2007-2008 ish. I remember back then, before paypal was a huge thing for paying outside my country, I tried to sell the head only with banktransfer method. In the end the head was sendt and the buyer got it for "free" as they came with a lot of excuses for transfer errors. I considered it a loss because the buyer didn't want to send it back without me paying for the shipping. I was also super naive back then so I left alone. First and last time selling something outside my country.

 

Ive been in the hobby since 2006 and due to a hiatus I took where I sold all of my dolls, I dont have my first doll still. My first was a Custom House Little Junior Zephyrose and I sold him to someone on the forum and I no longer remember who I have sold him to. However I do miss him and wish that I kept my original collection as I had some grails in there I wish I could repurchase.

 

Yes. I started collecting in 2015, and i don't have a lot of resin-babies, so I still have all of them.

 

Yes, I bought my first BJD in 2006 (DollShe Bermann from Tensiya) and he's still one of the crown jewels in my collection! I'm pretty disgustingly consistent in my tastes though so that's certainly played a huge part.

 

No, It was the sleeping version of Dollshe Bernard and I sold that head once I was able to find the OE version of his head. The sleeping version of Bernard that I had was also the faceplate version and the magnets in it were not the best so it kept slipping down when I would try to put his wig on. However I had this head on an older Leekeworld body as I wanted a smaller size doll, I did keep that body and it is still one of my favorites of all the doll bodies that I have owned

 

Yes. Once love, forever love. Just Zaoll. She is still my favorite. 10 years!

 

Yes, I still own my first doll, Moswen (AoD Chi in tan) and he'll be 16 years old this fall. After all that time (and a collection now sitting at 83 full dolls), he's still my favourite. Additionally, the only thing I've sold is a Miro body that 2 different sculpts hated (and at the time I had no floating heads so it needed to GTFO).

The only thing I've changed about him in all that time is his wig as his original was begging to be retired after like 12 or 13 years. He needs to be re-painted (he's my most heavily played with doll) but I'm loathe to send him out. I've also got to re-string him as he's now pretty loose (he's still rocking his original AoD elastic).

 

My first doll was a Migidoll Miho. I sold him long ago, but I have since owned several Mihos. I can't seem to let my love for the Migidoll boys go, so I keep trying with them even though I have mostly moved on to collecting only CP Delfs.

Currently I have a floating, blank Miho head in storage and even though I have no immediate plans to do anything with him, I also don't intend to let this one go. I'm hoping that once I've acquired all of the Delfs I really want, I will have room in my head and heart to bring my Migidoll Miho to life again (and Ryu, my other early Migidoll love. I want the trio of Ryu, Miho and Jina )

 

My first doll was a Luts bory unicorn moonlit song. Luts was the company that introduced me to bjds when I was younger, so it was kind of ironic I ended up with one as my first doll too! But I realized I didn't really like msds as I preferred more mature sculpts and larger dolls. I sold him about a year later since I couldn't connect with him too. I learned how to restring and everything with him though, so he'll forever hold a special place in my heart wherever he is hopefully getting the love he deserves!

 

I still have mine! He's a DollZone Hid that I bought circa 2008. I'm not terribly fond of the MSD size now, but I can't bear to sell him.

 

No I sold them. Was in bad place mentally was selling everything off & thinking that life never gonna be good so I don’t need those expensive dolls anymore.

 

Yep, I still have mine, a Luts Moon from 2008, and he’s still one of my favourites. I’ve kept almost all my dolls over the years, and have only sold maybe 2 or 3? I’m very picky about the dolls I buy (at least BJD) and rarely have the desire to sell any.

 

I got into the doll hobby in 2007 when I bought a lone little head from a face-up panel at an anime convention!
Bought her body from the same maker in 2008. Still have her! She's a Lady Saiyuki Ted in Lilac resin.

 

Heavens no! At the beginning I did so much experimenting, learning the ins and outs of bjds and discovering my own personal aesthetic along the way. Because I was on a tight budget, I needed to sell in order to try out something new…and this is how I learned. Today I have a large collection of dolls I absolutely love, and I haven’t sold a doll in years. But to tell the truth, I don’t even recall what that first doll even was at this point. It was nearly two decades ago!

 

I still have my first doll, and I will never let her go. She's the reason I joined this hobby. I bought her as a floating head nine years ago. She's always been a hybrid. She has a different body now than she did the year I got her.

 

yes i still have my first doll. She’s a Dollzone mist strayer. I actually wanted to get a Ji Zero but i joined the hobby right after her first pre-order so i got mist strayer instead. I thought about selling her bc i found out my preferred size is SD and she is MSD but i just couldn’t let go. Then i decided to mod her body so she looks a bit more like a robot and love her like i did on the 1st day
She had her 4th birthday in July

 

My first doll is from Resinsoul and i still have him. He is very important to me. I bought him from my brigade jobs as a student

 

I’ve got my first doll, Hiro, B&G Rin in 2009. He’s my sentimental favorite, with his sweet smile.

 

My first doll was a Dhal, if you consider it as a bjd and she is still at home with me. She's 20 years old and she is an special edition with H Naoto clothes
