How Did You Decide Size?

Hmm, I am not sure exactly how it happened...
I ended up liking the SDs that is all. I like the large size.
I guess I am a classic American, I like everything big (JK)

But really took a liking to the mature look, so I think that is how I ended up choosing my size, because the size really had to do with the sculpt, or at least that is what I thought when I first fell in love with Kizimir.​

 

Well I've seen all sorts of dolls at this convention I went to and the owners were nice enough to let me play with them. I was waiting for an autograph and I saw an SD boy. The owner let me hold him and he almost killed me. No kidding, I'm really petite and short. He was like a little then 3 feet shorter then me. It was depressing! I got to see an MSD and I was in love. Not only were they lighter, but they weren't so heavy. I looked for molds I liked and I found some and I bought the dolls. I also thought they were cuter and the SD's tend to be a bit more mature for me. And limiting. I can buy much more clothes for my MSD girl then I could for an SD girl. :<

 

I agree with you totally on the SDs being too big.....>_>;; Oh wait I just ordered a 60cm.....What am I doing?! ahem....so I got my little MSD cause she was cute and I thought just right for taking around and I've seen SDs and thought 'Too big!!' and yet.....here I am waiting for my DOT....I can't help it...his head mold sucked me in....Guess we'll find out if I'm really so against a big doll huh? :: crosses fingers :: I hope not!!

 

Honestly... my first doll was decided apon because of price, not the size. It was the only doll (of the many I fancied) that I could afford. She just happened to be a Dollmore Noir Asha MSD sized little cutie.

I mostly tend to like smaller dolls myself, I am very easily swayed by tinies.
But I am waiting for a SDF Ethan to show up, so I can find out if I can manage such a "large" doll.

 

The first doll I fell in love with happened to MSD-size so I didn't really decide on size at all, I just wanted that doll no matter what size she was.

The result of this is that my dollfamily is quite mixed of different sizes, I go for the dolls I like no matter what size they are So they just have to go along with being totally mixed up.

 

Honestly, when I first started looking at BJD's, the first ones I fell for were the 60cm size, because they were the mature options that were readily accessible. Being a mom of three, size didn't faze me (tho I'm only 5 feet tall) as I'm used to lugging around kids. However, since then (4 years ago now) I find I am trying to save up for a Minifee, despite my resolution to stick to one size. So, I suppose I'm doing this all backwards. Wonder if this means eventually I'll wind up with a tiny in another couple of years?

well I've liked the minifee shushu for a long time so thats why I chose her. c: I didnt notice her size at all really, I've never seen/held a bjd in real life - so I dont have any ideas about what I'm expecting when I get her...

I think I would have preferred her to be a SD because I think making clothes and stuff would be easier for a bigger doll.. but I honestly dont know. :/ maybe a SD would be too big for me!

tinies have never appealed to me though...

 

I started out with MSDs because they were cheaper, however Last April I got my first big girl and I've since fallen in love with the size of 60cm girls. I find it easier to take pictures of her, and I love her weight, and stuff. Though really, I wouldn't let size keep me away from a sculpt that I like~ :3

 

Accidentally, honestly.

I was in Junkyspot and I was looking at the doll sizes.

It says, "BBI, 44cm, 60cm and 70cm" So I just picked my favorite one.

Which turned out to be a 44cm one, and an MSD. xD
Even though I'd sworn to myself I'd get an SD, but oh well. It costed less and the result was the same.

 

For the most part it seems like a lot of people usually go for the actual *look* of the doll, regardless of size.

I have an SD and an MSD, and I'm waiting on another SD. But for me it's not about "heaviness" of an SD or "convenience" of an MSD - I just fall in love with whatever mold strikes me. And although I'm planning to get another SD size, even if he were MSD I'd still want him!

Personally I don't think SDs are all that heavy. But it's all about what you want. I like having a mix of dolls! I don't want to limit myself to one size.

(I am crushing hardcore on my MSD right now though - Souldoll Soulkid Xell. He's so precious to me!)

 

Well, I ALWAYS wanted an SD because honestly, ever since seeing (and admittedly wanting) one of those 3-foot tall Barbies (hey, I was like 8. Seemed like the coolest thing in the world to me) I wanted a BIG doll. Just... I dunno. A doll that made its presence known as if it were a person.

Now I have 2 SDs and one that's 70cm but plan on getting some MSDs and a Puki Puki in the future, and honestly, if I could get a Limhwa To You, I'd be the happiest person ever. Oddly, as I never *planned* to get any 1/6 dolls...

After being around dolls of all sizes more, though, I don't know that I have a favorite size in the end. Every size has advantages and disadvantages, and so even though initially I chose SDs because, well, I wanted a big doll, now it doesn't matter as much to me. xD

 

I may purchase a tiny or puki puki or a MSD XD. but the SD sized really drew me because i love to cuddle adn shes the perfect size and i like to draw so shes my model for clothes, phits and drawings...mostly the face i think....my Miyumi is gorgeous

 

I like big boys and I don't like &#1089;hildren (neither real &#1089;hildren nor doll &#1089;hildren). :-D So SD sized and taller are the only ones for me.

 

Mainly price at the time I bought my first one. I didn't want to spend too much since I was just getting into the hobby, but I wanted to get one with a little substance XD

Little did I know then that even my little 4 inch tall Puki has LOTS of substance ^_^

My first three (one of which I have long since sold) were MSD sized, my fourth was a Tiny and my fifth was an SD size ^_^

 

I never decided about size. I just got what I fell in love with. Lately, though, I have decided I only want one female and one male SD so as much as I love certain sculpts, I still won't get anymore than that. All the others are just what I really like.

 

I got MSDs first, but after time, they just seemed too small. I fell in love with the Lishe sculpt too, back when there weren't any minifees. And when I got her she just seemed right!

 

Well, I go with whatever I feel destined to be with. (I sound crazy, I know)

What I mean is, I know I will get the one, when I see one in particular. Like I know I'm gettign a Camine from Dream of Doll. I just know.

 

The second I laid hands on my first MSD sized dollie I knew that was what I wanted. Smaller than I'd thought but it seemed like a good starter size. Now that I have an actual job I might very well 'upgrade'. I'm afraid it'll be too heavy or too big and end up falling over into a coffee table or something like one of those Just My Size or whatever Barbies.

 

How I decided size:
Well first I knew that the first doll I would get was going to be from volks, and would be a girl. I wanted a standard version with regular skin (didn't want a pure skin for my first doll) So I got a super dollfie 10. I didn't like the sizes and the looks of the other ones.

 

When I first found out about bjd's, I started searching the net and finally went to a meet. I thought the sd size was too tall and liked the msd size more. I already had dolls that about that size so it was a easy choice for me.
