1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

First Doll Indecision?

Dec 12, 2009

    1. This was a big thing for me when I first was going to get a doll. First I wanted to get an MSD size, so i started looking around luts and dream of doll. I enjoyed the DOC line, and then Duncan was the first doll I saw. But as I kept looking around, and went to doll meetups I decided a SD size was more the way to go, then I stumbled upon Crobidoll.
      I have to say Crobidoll makes a lot of people change their mind very quickly, and now my first guy is on the way. xD
       
    2. oh my goodness, yes! i can't decide on what I want my 1st to be yet! all i know so far is i want a very asian-looking male :3
       
    3. I feel that every-time I want a new one XD

      Though the first one was the hardest and I decided to go with something completely different and totally not what I wanted to do :P
      I went for a "practice" head and never got any of the dolls I thought of getting when I first joined XD
      Except one... :B*
       
    4. Ya! I just chose my first doll today, Hes a Kid Delf Boy ANI (Real Skin Normal). my bestest friend got me into them with her doll and now I want one ^_^ as soon as I have the money im goning to buy him.
       
    5. I remember wanting a Volks Heath when I first got into BJDs, but since he's a limited edition and was completely sold out by then, I almost got a Luts El, but I eventually settled on a Hound. :lol:
       
    6. I planned on Tender Too & Tender Bee-A. Then when it came on purchasing, I ended up getting a Bee-A. When I think back, I wonder how I'll treat her if she had tender eyes instead...
       
    7. I went through company after company looking at dolls, but always found myself gravitating back towards my DM Dean. I suppose it was fate I was to have him, especially as they stopped production like 2 days after I ordered him! Anyone who says dolls don't choose their owners is foolish.
       
    8. By advice is buy the doll you want. I bought the first doll I liked "enough" for the price I felt I wanted to pay. Now I wish I would have just bought the girl I wanted since I still do not own her but I have lots of girls I do own and love. I went though a lot of dolls to get my collection where it is. I tend to impulse buy, bad habit.
       
    9. Well, I at least stayed within the same company -- at first I was interested in a MSD sized Romantic Lady Bee Elf from Peaks Woods -- but then I got hooked in by Val Zeitler's new Haute Doll clothing collection for SDs only and *poof* MSD Lady Bee is now SD Peaks Woods Sky who should be arriving within in the next couple or so weeks :)
       
    10. Yes! Not only was I not sure on a company, but a size too. At first I wanted a BBB Mei, then KDF Ani, then several Fairyland MNF's, then a bunch of different Puki's, then MNF's again, but finally, I got a Pukifee Zoe!
       
    11. Oh my God.
      I was ridiculously indecisive.
      First I was like. Kasi Dan. Then like. Boy or girl Vian. Then Souldoll Chiron. Then Kid Delf Bory, then Kid Delf Darae, then SSDF Regen, then SSDF Avalanche, then all of a sudden Delf Yder hits me and I'm like.
      ....*Hits the goddamn purchase button.*
      I really like my decision. He's a well liked model, he's sweet, and precious, and big enough while not looking too serious.
      I feel you.
      Mai gad.
       
    12. Wellll~ Originally I wanted to get two at once, the AS couple package of Andrea and Cinderella, but I decided I couldn't afford it. And I went with the first one I saw on Ebay, which was IRONICALLY from the same company! I nearly fell out of my chair laughing after I discovered this. XD (this was also a revelation that Angell Studio owns my soul)

      And then I joined DoA, found out I could get dolls second hand and almost got something else before getting AS Leira. (Who I'm still saving up for) Even though I got a DZ head, I don't count it as a whole first doll! >v<// Just my first head! LOL
       
    13. This happend to me big time. I could not find one scuplt that was perfect. I knew I wanted a taller doll because I didnt want a small one and I wanted a boy. Also he was going to be a more quiet dark character.
      I had it narrowed down to Crobidoll Yeon-ho / Nao or DOD Dot Ducan or Sha. Turns out none of those were perfect because everytime I would go to place the order I just couldn't do it. I knew they was a more perfect one for me out there.
      So one day I'm searching around Dod website and am looking at the Doc's, that is when I saw Doc Si and he was perfect! I wasted no time buying him. He was the complet opposite of what I was looking for but I knew I had to have him. :)
       
    14. To be honest... nope. I saw Yuu-2 from DollZone and fell instantly in love with it. I've been wanting for it for a few years until finally I put my foot down. I'm putting money away and paying it of now!
       
    15. I was pretty set on buying AS-Leira the moment I saw her. However, I lost my decisiveness when I saw Iplehouse-I. I wavered back and forth for a few weeks before I realized just how much I loved AS-Leira's sculpt. I don't regret my decision in the least.
       
    16. hmm for me, i think when i first say apollo from bobobie, i fell in love with his. i knew i have to get him as my first doll. been wanting him for over a year now.... but i still havent got my hands on him (or my first doll D:)
       
    17. Decide on the gender first, then the size, then the character/ personality. I didn't have much trouble deciding. For me, Boys only. And I know for sure I only want 1/3 size. I wanted an "evil", crafty boy to be my first, and so after browsing through many sites, I decided upon AngellStudio's Lucifer (the eyes look "evil" to me. Haha~). He'll be coming to be soon, can't wait.
       
    18. I'm in the process of picking out my first doll now. I didn't have quite as many problems with bouncing back and forth between companies, since I knew from the first moment I was introduced to bjds I wanted a luts doll (Though Volks' Minoru Kamimura has tempted me something bad in the past and recently).

      Instead it was all about the molds. A few years ago I was dead set on an El, then more recently a Odin, until I finally settled on Avalanche after falling in love with his face sculpt. At the time I had also wanted a JDF Pluto, but couldn't come up with the funds in time. ;>
       
    19. I have one girl on the way - I am thinking of naming her Isabella and I had been looking for a first BJD for at least 3 years. I know a very long time. Just did not find one until now. Then, an avalanche has arrived I just saw two more that I would love to have now.. I mean I am thinking about how to sell whatever to get these two more BJD's!
       
    20. I'm fairly certain that I haven't posted here yet...soooo...

      My answer: HECK YES. Lol. Not as much indecision as some who've posted yet more than others. :P First I wanted a Pukipuki Piki, then a Pukipuki Pong, and then I decided, hey wth let's go with MSDs, so I chose IH Ryan, then was wavering between him and IH Tatiana. Then I found the almighty Luts and I fell in love with my future boy. <3
