How long before you gave in?

I was aware of BJDs for quite a while before I actually had the desire own one. It was probably about a year after I got into the little Obitsus that I bought my first resin doll.

I did not join DoA until shortly before I bought my first resin doll. Before that I was hesitant to join because of the horror stories I heard about this place......

 

I've known about dolls for a pretty long time, probably since 2005ish? But I found out about them through another expensive hobby, and for the past decade or so most of my resources and time have been devoted to said other expensive hobby. I still haven't bought my first doll yet, but I'd like to do so soon!

 

I found out about bjds around 2005 sometime but had to find info about them and wait two years to get one. I joined DoA about a month or two after ordering my first doll and he came home a few weeks after I joined.

 

3 days. I told myself to take my time looking at different companies before I decide but I could not resist and ordered a Lati.

 

it actually took me 3 years before i bought my very first bjd. i know bjd for quite some time then but the price is prohibiting me to buy one that time lol.

 

I've been interested in it for years. I first found it by people talking about them seeing some doll on the internet with a functional penis. So I looked them up and came across ball jointed dolls!

It's only this year that I've been able to afford one, so my first payday of 2013 I ordered one, so I won't be a doll-less member for long!

 

Have been in the hobby for a few years...Took me maybe a week to be hooked...It was gaining up the courage to ask my parents that took a good two years.

With my MSD...I literally saw him got up and got my mom and asked if I could buy him in less then ten minutes. I just couldn't risk someone else snatching him up and luckily she understood...Now prior to yesterday I was intending on paying for him by working it off but my mom insisted on paying for him for me. Did I mention I love my ma?

 

I have admired BJDs since I was in high school. I have started being a collector since 2010 but I only collected customized fashion dolls. I only "gave in" this year because I realized it's about time I get a lovely BJD for myself and I think I'm old enough for them. I'm turning 21 this year btw.

 

as soon as my money landed in my hands. but i've been dreaming of having a doll since i was in college.

 

I first saw bjd's in around 2004. I remember seeing them on ebay and then going to Volks. I thought one day I would love to own one of those dolls but with the exchange rate and everything they were well over a thousand dollars and I thought I would never own one. I went through other hobbies and rediscovered them around 2007 again. I found out there were other companies and it took me a while but I got my first BJD. Probably a good 6 or more months passed before I got my next BJD. After purchasing a few Impldolls I got asked to write a review on DOA and I replied I would love to but my membership requests haven't been answered. Well they sent me one and since then my doll collection has just sky-rocketed.

 

I discovered bjds in 2010, and actually bought one in 2011. I didn't join any forums until early 2012, so I already had three or four by then.

 

When I met my sister's which she got a year before I got mine at Anime North I knew I wanted one. A year later I got my chance (I wasn't aware you could get them online) and I got little Zypher. If I had the chance when my sister got hers I would have gotten it then xD so no time at all!

 

If I haven't already posted on this: at least 5 years lol! I just couldn't afford one after going into debt, so its just taken a while to do so :3

 

I'm still brand-new to DoA and have one resin baby and two non-resin babies. It was about a year since learning about BJDs that I was able to order mine and, honestly, my first BJD is what drove me to get my first job. XD I put back half my weekly paycheck for a few months to finally be able to order him. But from the time I saw a brag on a petsite about getting jointed hands, I'd wanted to get a BJD of my own.

 

Bjds and fanart were among my first discoveries when I started going online, so I've known about them since maybe 2000, but bjds kinda slipped my mind for a long time. Even after meeting other owners and stuff, I never felt the need to get my own resin doll. That is, until I met my Aunt's RS Long. As soon as my next tax return came in, I ordered one for myself. Keeping doll purchases to a minimum is easier when you're constantly broke. ^_^()

 

About a year after I first found out about BJDs I finally got one, I didn't join DOA until I had my first doll.

 

I know bjds from 2009 and I've ordered my first in 2011, but I was actually saving for almost a year to get a realpuki (which I got in 2012)
I'm on DoA and other dolly forums from a couple of months before having a bjd (but I had some off-topic dolls)

 

About 3 years between the time I found out about BJD and bought one . This is due to me being a student and not having enough money to buy one (im still a student now though ..) . After all a BJD is expensive and I think the first doll i saw was on DOD .

 

Joined DoA last December and still doll-less, but it's on it's way so I shouldn't be doll-less. I think I found out about the BJD's in September or October. One of my friends showed me her dolls and I fell in love with them, but I waited until I got Christmas money to buy a doll.

 

2 weeks hahahah. Who can resist sweet adorable faces
