Ever been disappointed? Even a little?

It wasn't in my doll himself, I think it as me . I love my boy so much...but I felt terrible. He stained from his clothes, his eyelash got jabbed out of place [Thankoo, over-inquisitive boyfreind], and he flopped all over the place. He is so...perfect, though. His face, his lil hands, his body...I love the cerberus project resin. Once I bought him new boots to stand in and cleaned up his body, I began to feel a little silly for feeling so bad

I do wonder how I will feel when my Sabik [being purchased of a DoA member] will be when he arrives. He's so different to my Moon Yet in all his owner photo's he looks great. And I have more than a few outfits planned out for that tall skinny body of his

SOme of the stuff that's happened to people in this thread is really sad

 

I'm so glad that you grew to love caffeine. My first two dolls where definite impulse-buys I got in way over my head way too fast. Luckily I fell head-over-heels for Snug!! My other doll however, just wasn't working out for me. She wasn't as poseable as Snug and it was hard to find clothes that fit her, contrary to Snug, who just fit in Kelly clothes. Luckily, I was able to trade her for Moth whom I love dearly ^_^ And even more luckily My new Lilac Bobobie March has surpassed my expectations and I love her very much

 

When I got my Shiwoo I was heart broken ^_^;;; I just did not like the way he looked one bit, and it got worse when I tried to paint him. =/

Similar situation with Dion. I got him unpainted, he just looked nothing like the promo pictures, and I was rather dissapointed.

Both are very gone.

There was also a little dissapointment when I picked up my Annette the first time and her leg fell appart XD Thwat was easilly remedied though.

 

I've been disappointed, I fell in love with a bjd's commercial picture, when I got her she just wasn't the image I'd expected. Trying to bond was hell, I had to sell her.

 

I've gone through several different dollie disappointments. In the past, I got an old Customhouse SD boy body, and a CP Delf boy body, and I absolutely hated them both. They were unpleasing to look at, they were horrid posers, and I got rid of them both. ^^;

I had temporary disappointment when my DIM body got here, because three of his fingers had broken off in transit. I glued them back on, and you can't even see, and it was suitable for Kit's fragile sort of personality. ^^

The biggest disappointment I had was when I got my Souldoll Jinwoo. His head was so much smaller than all of my other dolls that my heart broke. There was no way he was going to look pleasing with my other guys. I felt horrible for being disappointed, because he had been a Christmas gift. I decided to give him a chance and not try to work him into my other bunch, and now he's one of my absolute favorites. ^-^ I'm still looking for someone to keep him company, but even if I don't, I won't be unhappy.

 

I've been disappointed a few times too but I have yet to sell a doll. I usually try to make it work first. For example, when I got my bobobie Elena she was super floppy and her face up was nothing like I expected. But after a re-stringing with proper elastic and new face up she became one of my favorite dolls.

I'm hoping this will be the case with my Nekomimi. She is my first anthro-doll and right now I'm not too sure if she is gonna stay. The factory face-up is way to pink. My mother says she looks like a pig.

 

I've gotten a few dolls that I've been disappointed with and have re-homed - Orientdoll Il was too small at 40 cm for my girls and had a pin head. I got an AOD and I thought he was the ugliest doll I'd ever seen when I opened the box, plus he had a fat head and the girls said he had to go - Now! Then I tried DZ Hid and he didn't live up to his pictures in my opinion and he scared the girls! I've also been disappointed with one of the Elfdoll tinies and with an SD Bobobie girl. All have moved on to more appreciative homes than mine!

 

I was the victim of an impulse buy. I really wanted one and had convinced myself I wouldn't leave the store without one. I saw the dz rays and rather liked the tan version. He had gorgeous silver eyes. The eyes were what caught my attention.

But... sadly i didn't connect with him and couldn't find myself loving him as much as I wanted too. I've been trying to sell him since the first month I got him. Its been 3 now and I really wish I could give him a good home and a more suiting doll for myself. =\

 

this thread is making me feel so bad for the unwanted dollies! lol =[ atleast most of them have found better homes


i really really really hope im not dissapointed with my dolls!

 

Those that I am disappointed in I sold it. Also have to sale at low price bec. no one wants to buy it at retail price.

 

I was a tad dissapointed with my petite ai Uriel i have to say, she is cute but looks like a boy, yet on the site i thought she was the prettiest little girl! I intended to swap and change one of my petites from boy to gilr so she serves the purpose well i guess, just a little too well lol!

 

The first time I was every really disappointed.... I'd bought a doll off the MP, from a seller who did faceup comissions.... She'd asked me during the transaction (I did a layaway) if I'd like anything added, I'd mentioned a couple things, and she's said no problem.

A month or so later, I get my boy... and not only did she not add the things I'd asked for (which didn't really bother me, in the end) but the faceup was... not what I was expecting at all, especially since I'd gone through her faceup thread and really liked her work. Needless to say, the faceup was wiped and is going to get redone.

The second time wasn't really a disappointment, but it was more of an "Oh my god, I spent this much on something this small?!"

I'd ordered two OrientDoll SO types (one for myself, one for my sister for Christmas). I hadn't really looked at tinies before, but the main reason I ordered them was because my sister really wanted a doll, and this was what I could afford. Now... I saw tinies on the board, but never really researched them or anything, so I thought they'd all be around the 23-30 cm range, afer seeing YOs and whatever....

I looked around the MP a few days after ordering, and saw another tiny (same one I ordered for myself, but regular, not the vampire) and it was a really decent price.... so I bought it. This one got to me in a week, while the other ones I'd ordered directly from the site took a month or so.

I got the one I bought secondhand... and when I opened it up my first thought was "Okay, the $100 I spent on you wasn't so bad (even if you are the size of the Pinky:st figures I own...) but the $450 I dropped on two more?!" I was kind of like "I should have just spent the extra $100 or so, and bought minis instead!"

Anyways, I got the two I ordered, and me and my sister both still have them.... she has a couple MSDs now, but she still loves her tiny boy a lot. And my two boys are actually two of my favourites, because they're so small. They're so much easier to take places, rather than carrying an MSD around.

I'm done rambling now. xD

 

To me, my only disappointment has been in two :

1. my migi ryu
I loves him badly but when I opened the box the first time around and looked at he blank face I had thought "...wtf is this face that I bought? /donotliek"
But with faceup he's gorgeous tho

2. my zack fair minimee
first time around, I thought his chin was a little too long. Plus Ididn't have his wig (sky blue) but his faceup -was- done to match the sky blue wig he was supposed to get. His temporary wig was a grey fur wig. And to hold the wig on his head I made him wear my other doll's rainbow coloured bandanna The whole assemble made his head look like a clown that I sold him a few weeks later xD;
But then that was my fault now that I've found a sky blue wig for him, I found myself craving for the head so badly I bought 2 in the current GO, one to try and mod, the other as a backup xD;

 

believe it or not.. I was HIGHLY dissapointed when I opened my miyu, Wednesdays box! Because she was normal skin and I ordered WHITE SKIN... T___T!! she was supposed to be a sexy cybergoth girl.. normal skin just doesnt do cybergoth to me. So for the longest time I didnt know what to do with her. I had paid a horrible amount of custom costs so I didnt dare to sell her, so I just pretended like I loved her.

but now.. my friend sold me this custom blue dreadlock wig that was actually meant for a different doll I was getting.. I just put it on wednesday for fun.. but.. it was perfect.. absolutaly perfect. my love for her went to 100% in that instant and now I really cannot do without her

 

I've been disappointed ALOT...

with my first doll..EL, when I opened him I found him so sweet looking but my biggest mistake was to get him WS and faceupless..so he didn't last long with me, I couldn't stand him at all.

also with SDF ethan, I wa totally disappointed with him..as soon as I opened he just looked blankly to me. with 16mm he looked blank, with 18mm eyes I had to put them way high then he looked like a druggie..so he had to go aswell. I just couldn't bond with how blank and how such a pretty face was with a vieny body

with many wigs of course, I couldn't take it @_@

but one of the biggest disappointments was when I got a iplehouse hybrid..his body was a modded soom girl body and the chest had looked like it was smashed to the floor or hit many times with something heavy as much as I loved silvia, I couldn't bond with him in general cuz after doing so much work on him I just couldn't feel right with him..thats why I plan to buy a new IH silvia and mod him my own

 

I was a tad disappointed with my most recent doll I got. I had some nightmare problems with the shipping so I was dreading her from the beginning. She got here safe and sound quickly but there were many problems. The first is that her face up was nothing like how I imagined her to be, so that had to be wiped right away.

Then at closer inspection I found out that the doll was filthy, there was dirt on her body, stuck between her seam lines and even some marks INSIDE her torso. There was also glue stuck around her belly button.
As if that wasn't all bad enough, she was really floppy and her head kept falling off, this was because the doll wasn't even strung properly.

I head to clean the doll from head to toe, do an emergency faceup with very limited supplies and do a full restringing. There were times when I felt my heart sink just looking at her, but I knew I couldn't give up on her, because my fiance brought her for me as a Christmas present (we found a great deal in the marketplace so we brought it early.) Now that she is all cleaned, restrung and has a pretty little girls face, I love her again. Se is just the sweetest little thing now, I don't think I could ever let her go.

 

Only once, that I can recall. I fell head-over-heels in love with Soom's March doll, Vega Last Song. I sold off two of my dolls to buy him. I was SO excited. I kept going back to the pictures on the site and just staring at him.

When he got here...well, right out of the box I was disappointed with his faceup. I don't know what I was expecting, since his faceup looked exactly like it had on the site. But it was so...blue, on such a pale doll...I came around to it, though. Then he was too losely strung and wouldn't pose properly or even sit up on his own...I was SO frustrated with his body. But we restrung and sueded his joints...I was so happy when I got him to stand up for the first time. Still, though, he was enormous...so out of proportion with all of our other dolls. 80cm was just too much doll for me. And we never properly bonded; I never even learned his name.

So, I sold him (or rather, I am in the process of selling him)...I've ordered the August doll, Io. I'm hoping I'll have better luck with him.

 

Well, I love Isabella to death. She is really the best. However, I do wish that she had more blush. I know that I can add more, but I was disappointed in that.

 

I know that when I recived my third doll, Magpie, I was really disappointed. I'd bought her on marketplace, and expected to get a Bobobie Sprite - Instead I just recieved the Bobobie 1/4 girl body. After getting that all sorted out, I had another three weeks to wait to get her head, and for those three weeks I just left her sitting in an unstrung heap on my bookshelf. I planned to just get the head, do her faceup and sell her on.

...Of course, when her head arrived I fell madly in love, and she quickly became the most involved of my doll projects

Also, in reference to your earlier post, this is a Glow In The Dark - A girl this time though. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221222

 

I decided I wanted a particular doll which was hard to find. He came up for sale on ebay a week later and I got all excited and bought him. When he arrived, he looked nothing like his pictures and I realised that I'd only ever seen 1 or 2 pictures of him - all from the same angle. I persevered with him for a while, but in the end he had to go. It didn't help that I was new to collecting and paid far too much for him.

Also, my Hound. I sold him for a few reasons, but when I first got him out of the box I thought he really looked like an ex of mine I didn't really want to be reminded of. I don't get it - I looked at (and still do) tons of pictures of Hound and they look nothing like this guy. Mine did. WEIRD.
