How long did you doll search before you fell in love?

I am for 3 months search .
Actually i'm always collect a girl Bjd and now in search for boy BJD , but i never found out one the most i like .

 

Don't worry about taking so long to find your dream doll. You have to make sure you REALLY want what you're getting.

My first bjd (a girl) took indefinite time before I settled on her. I originally wanted another company's sculpt, but the price was breaking my heart so I had to tear through plenty of catalogues to find other options. My upcoming boy (head) was a semi-impulse buy because he's a limited ed. With the kind of male sculpts I wanted, I knew it would be some time before I find someone like him again.

 

I spent a long time looking at dolls and telling myself I could never have one... So when my wife told me to pick one out I looked for one that... Looked like her, hah... Round face, soft features, big eyes. The blanchet from luts had a face up option I liked too. The whole model was just very attractive to me. Then she arrived and I loved her instantly, she was perfect.
For my boy, I just wanted him to match my lady and not have a baby face. Luts had a doll for that too. He hasn't arrived yet, but I doubt anything less than a chip will make me dislike him when he arrives. I love him already. We looked for him for... Two years? Again, I had been telling myself I could never have one, so I had done a lot of window shopping!

 

Oh gosh, more than a decade! I've wanted a BJD since I was a pre-teen and I always thought they were so pretty... However, it was only recently that I finally found a sculpt that I absolutely adored and just must have + now that I'm a working adult, I can actually afford them without too much trouble. I've come a long way!

 

For me, not long at all!! But when I started collecting, there where like... 4 companies to choose from (I'm definitely exaggerating but there was a whole lot less choice). My friend had gotten a Dream of Doll Camine and everyone was really into DoD at the time so I got a DoC U No regrets!!

 

Two months... then I got swayed by a limited doll and put off getting "the one", then "the one" was discontinued. It took me seven years to get the doll I first wanted. Six of those years after she was out of production and when she did pop up for sale I would either not have the money or she was missing the default faceup I wanted.
I in no way regret getting the other doll. In a way it made me finally finding the doll I wanted first more special.

 

It didn't take me fall for BJD Elf Dolls. But once the feet started to drop off due to the screw in thing, I changed to another company, and another until I found my dream companies. Been with the one for 8 years and the later for over 2 years.

 

Not very long, if we count starting from the moment I realized I could actually afford to get into this hobby. I'd admired these dolls for years before that but I didn't think I'd ever be able to get one so I never bothered to really look into them much, so I wouldn't be too tempted. After I started actually looking into sculpts, it took me... I think about two or three months to decide on the doll I wanted as my first? Of course then things happened and I ended up getting a different doll as my first, but I've since obtained all the main candidates I had for my first doll, haha. Generally speaking I love the look of a lot of dolls, but don't actually love most of them enough to get them for myself, so when a doll clicks with me, I just know. I was constantly told it could take ages to find the right one though so definitely don't rush yourself! You should wait until one really clicks with you, I think.

 

Probably about two years. Then once I found him it took me about 3 years to finally get him.

 

I spent along time looking for my first doll. I also looked at all the information that was associated with bjds too
I wait a whole year before buying my first bjd. I knew I had to get her I couldn't get her out of my head
There no rush at all... But lately I've been seeing people being in a rush to buy their first one and wanting to know what a good "starter doll" is which most times would be the cheaper company bjds. I guess there's nothing wrong with that but I would rather have one I absolutely loved and couldn't get out mind about it then the one I was in a rush and it was the cheapest one
Hope you find one you love

 

A few years, but not very hard. I wanted to buy a doll in person, with one of my BJD expert friends along. I finally found one that suited me at a convention this past summer after having dipped my toe in with some cheaper vinyl dolls in the past.

 

I casually looked around for probably around 4-5 years, but once I finally decided to go straight for it and seriously get one, maybe a couple of months.

 

Actually, I wasn't interested in bjd until I saw, "the one". I was aware of them but, never saw anything that made me think I would pay so much money for one.

 

I think technically I was about 7 years from when I started seriously looking and buying the "one". After that though ... the floodgates have opened.

 

I'm finding that my tastes are constantly changing. I have purchased some bjds for my daughter. I am still on the hunt for the perfect doll - also making sure that it fits within my budget.

 

i had liked bjds for a long time but it wasn't until this year that i decided it was time for me to get one. i had Some specific things i was looking for in my first doll and while i found some dolls that i liked,I couldn't decide on the one to get, so It took me about maybe three months of searching and comparing dolls until i came across the one that i knew would be perfect as my first and fit just what i was looking for

 

@MemeNiehe I suppose I had more of an attitude like... Until I find the right one, my interest in BJDs will be purely from the outside looking in. I didn't want to get a doll just because my friends did or even because I wanted it to fulfill a particular need. I didn't feel like I was missing anything in those 10 years... More like when I finally saw the doll that pushed me over that threshold, it created within me a new need that could only be fulfilled by me purchasing it. I do hope you find your destined doll someday, though!
