Does anyone else compulsively look up pictures of dolls they ordered while waiting?

Ha. I'll do you one better. I look up pictures. I take screenshots with my phone. I create a Google Keep doc with all of my pictures, so I don't have to keep searching for my favorite images...

I'm like a doll stalker.

 

Yes!! When I ordered my first dolls (~10+ years back) I looked at their pictures all the time while waiting XD
It's the wait that makes the whole process exciting~

 

Oh, big same. It's like, oops guess that tab's open again. Does it need to be open? Noooo not really I already ordered... but maybe if I keep looking they'll make the doll faster...

 

Yes I save the promo pictures to my phone and look at them when I'm feeling impatient And then follow the doll's tag on instagram and get jealous when I see other people start to get theirs lol The wait is torture sometimes!

 

Not sounding odd to me. Since I got my first doll out of packaging I've tried my best to look up multiple pictures of all my girls before they come home. I don't have specific characters in mind (mostly) when I select dolls, but more a question, "Who will you be?" and it helps to see what others of the same sculpt look like to start to get ideas.

 

Hahaha, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who does this! Yes, I frequently keep tabs open in my browser with the product pages of all the sculpts I'm currently waiting for. What can I say, I loved them enough to want to bring them home, of course I want to see their faces every day

 

I am one Sarah McLachlan slideshow away from completely falling down the rabbit hole.

 

I often keep doing it even after I get the doll, but yes, I definitely spend a lot of time looking at pictures of sculpts I love, whether they're incoming or I already have them.

 

Absolutely! I try to find as many face ups of the doll I can and also put a blank in photoshop to play with ideas . Ive been guilty of collecting photos, but I never thought of following the dolls tag on Instagram, great idea!

 

Always! I save as many pictures of the doll as I can so I can get some ideas

 

I search them here, Instagram, Pinterest, Flickr, and google images.

 

I’ve been in the hobby 12 years and frequently do sculpt image searches. I do this for every doll I’m thinking of getting, and just because I like looking at dolls.

 

Habitually. with the sort of 1/6 Anime Character dolls i generally pursue, i generally get best results
when translating make, series, and character names into Japanese, and performing a general GOOGLE search under the english-to-japanese - translated criteria...

 

Constantly! And it's one thing when you're waiting on a popular doll, but it's frustrating when there are so few owner pics of a sculpt out there that you find yourself looking at photos of two individual dolls across seven different platforms!

 

Cannot even tell you how many times I have looked up "ShouShouDoll Goudan" even though there is like zero that people own so I gotta look at the same product photo many times lolol

 

All the time. It kind of feels like you're in a long distance relationship, just sitting there staring like "Soon my love. Not yet, but soon."

 

I’ve done that. I used to keep a lot of owner photos saved on my camera roll, although I think I deleted them for space. Generally I look for any dolls on the same body, not just one sculpt to get clothing ideas. My main target was company photos- I would set whatever doll I was thinking about, usually a full set promo picture, as the background on my lock screen.
