How long was it between getting your first and second doll? (pt.2)

2 weeks. Bought my first doll and wasn’t sure I wanted to be in the hobby. Th night I opened him I was in love and wanted another.

 

About four years between my first doll and my second. For a long time I was content with only owning one doll, and I wasn't sure if the hobby wasn't just a short period interests. And well, it was 2012 and I am still in the hobby, with a growing collection And the third doll was ordered just a year later after the second, so things escalated quickly

 

I took over a pre-order of someone else's so I didn't have as long of a wait in my mind! I ordered my Pasha Pasha Original on 5/31/23 and received her 11/3/23.

My second doll was a Pasha Pasha Simply Beautiful that I ordered on 1/3/24. I received her on 1/6/24!

Only 2 months between getting my first and second girl.

 

I ordered my first in July and I’m still waiting for it. Since then, I’ve ordered another, and then ANOTHER second-hand. I don’t have any of them yet, and I keep coming up with flimsy justifications for them, like “my week was hard, I deserve to treat myself.” RIP my wallet

 

If we're counting floating heads, then it was about a month and a half. I ordered my first doll in early July this year, then a head in mid-August. If we're talking strictly full dolls: I'm planning on ordering my second sometime this month. So... a little over three months. My first doll isn't even here yet...

 

Only 4 months later (May - September), because my second doll arrived only one month after the order instead of the planned 5-7 months. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

 

I ordered my 2nd a few months after the first. The 1st arrived long after the 2nd. Crazy times.

 

Nearly 5 months, but I actually received my first doll as my second because her preorder took so long! I ordered Rafeyah as my first in mid February and received her late October, and bought Nebo secondhand in late June and received him early July!

 

Three months. I realise that it's a fantastic hobby and I want a doll taller and with more mobility. Now I've got dozen or more, from 10cm to 80cm and I am very happy with them.

 

Maybe some months. I got my Ipleghouse Aria and some months later I orderder a doll for Shedoll because I wanted a Levi look alike doll. However I canceled the order 2 months later because I didn' feel any bond to thar sculpt and then i got my Iplehouse Juan.

 

About 10 years.

I ordered my first doll 12th of November 2013, and I doted much on her when I received her. I never felt the need to have another doll, but after some years, my interest went dormant. It recently resurfaced this year but the style of doll I like changed, so I ordered my second one June 22nd this year. I then ordered my third one in September

 

@Bellamina I am in the same boat! 10 year gang xD

Got my first doll in 2014, did a lot with him but at some point was distracted with studies/being new to work etc. I also simply didn't have the funds back then. Now, I randomly remembered him because I moved and went onto a google spree...suffice to say, ordered more dolls this month. But I plan to go the MSD route now... c:

 

A few months! I hadn't planned on getting another one so soon but I fell in love and had the option to get the second doll on layaway. I got my first around summer 2023 and the second one arrived arround november-december of that same year.

 

Surprisingly (to me), it was 1 year and 6 months (almost exactly).
I held back on a second full doll for quite a while.

 

Actually 3 months, before receiving the first doll, I have ordered another ! Finally she arrived a month later than the first one ! As I explored the doll accessories, I simply wanted more dolls to fit different styles, and the doll company where I had bought the first one organised an event ! Not my fault absolutely lol

 

My very first two dolls were actually ordered at the same time! I'd been a fan of this hobby for years, but when Little Monica first shut down I took the plunge! Bought my two favourite sculpts at the time (a 1/3 Haazel and a 1/4 Bear). My next doll was bought only half a year later..

 

Pretty much exactly 2 years. After receiving my first one I had doubts about if this hobby was for me after all, but thankfully I ended up eventually getting the second doll since that one made me realize that no, it was just that particular doll that I first got that I didn't like, not BJDs in general.

 

I'm not sure. I think it may have been a few days, although I could be misremembering and maybe the first two arrived together.

I do know that within a year I had 10 dolls and a floating head. LOL!!

 

I went over a year between my first and second doll, I just wasn't in the best space to expand my collection nor did I find a sculpt in that time that I really wanted to bring home. What's funny to me about this hobby is that the more dolls I have the more I want..... So I started out a little listless in terms of what I wanted my collection to look like, but now each doll I get inspires me with new characters and ideas for new dolls

 

I had to go back through my phone photos to not make a lair out of myself but a year and a half. I did good looking back compared to now lmao. I give myself credit though because that was my first doll and it was a custom that cost quite a bit of money compared to my budget at the time. I also didn’t know as many brands as I do now and was figuring out what I did and did not like at the time while enjoying what I had.
