How many different companies/artists do you have BJDs from?

Of my 50 On Topic dolls; they come from 25 different companies/artists.
Bobobie, Resinsoul, Obitsu, Dragondoll, Fairyland, Ringdoll, Felixdoll, Dollzone, Impldoll, Blueblood, 5-star, Dream of Doll, LMD,
Daisy Dayes, Loongsoul, Dream High Studio, Angelheim, Dollmore, Nobilitydoll, Faewoodsdoll, Mushroom Peddler, Dream Valley,
Luts, Iplehouse, and Soom.

 

I've got two RumpelDoll sculpts and two SartoriaJ dolls, and one Iplehouse JID... not a very diverse collection, but it is mine none the less. lol

 

Oh, good question!

Tonner
LUTS
SOOM
Daisy Dayes
Fairyland
Lati
Doll Leaves
Be With You

I'm pretty sure that's all of them.

 

At the moment, I have dolls from Volks (about 75% of my collection), Dollmore, Dollshe and RS Doll.
I also have dolls on order from Dollmore, Loongsoul and Volks.

 

At the moment I have dolls from nine different companies.

 

Hee! What a fun question!
I don't keep track, but I actively try to buy from different companies every chance I get! I am fascinated by how each company does things a little bit differently. I love comparing how they are engineered when restringing. (I may be a bit odd, though.) If there's a "limit" to my collection, it's that I actively try to avoid owning too many dolls from any particular company, although I shamelessly break my self-imposed rule all the time (Dreaming Doll, Iplehouse, Dream Valley, Dollmore...). Since I only started collecting a few years ago, I also love trying to find old, discontinued doll lines. So if/when I plan to buy another doll, I tend to focus on what I don't have (or have pre-ordered).
Hmm - Dollmore, Supiadoll, Iplehouse, Dream Valley, Impldoll, Doll Family A and H, Xagadoll (but only heads - I'd love a Xagadoll big girl body), Resinsoul, Fairyland, Doll Leaves (but only MSD - would love a large DL body), Myou (same), Doll Chateau, ALM (bought and sold), Domuya, Volks (only one SD13 - really tempted by SD16s), Soom (but only Vito - would love the largest size), Granado, Depths Dolls (only a tiny), Minoruworld/old Blue Fairy (but sold the body and would love a large girl), Dreaming Doll, Soul Doll (but only MSD - still want a large girl), Raccoondoll (impatiently waiting for them to release a 1/3 scale body)... I'm sure I'm missing some.
I never thought to tabulate all the companies I already own from, though it's always in the back of my mind. I prefer to focus on which companies I don't have and would like to add to my collection. If I have a big girl from a company, I'm satisfied that my collection has a "complete" doll from them.

 

Seventeen different doll companies, but I have eight Huajing, with two more on order, whereas most of the others stand alone. I have become more selective about my doll purchases, because I’ve sold on a lot of dolls. It’s been a learning curve, but I think I have a good grasp of what works for me now. I have two Doll Chateau (but probably won’t buy anymore as the bodies don’t really work for me), a Doll Family-H (I might look at getting another one of those), Dikadoll, Doll In Mind, Shinydoll, Bimong, Minifee, Maskcatdoll, Charm Doll, Mayakdolls, Frappzilla, Macaron doll, Huajing, Metis doll, Black Cherry, Angel Fantasy, Luts. I would love to get another Shinydoll or Bimong, but finding the former is hard, and the latter I need to budget hard for

 

All my dolls are from different companies. I like exploring and seeing what out there, so I don't like buying from the same company twice. But now that I know what I like and what I don't (none of the bjds I've brought are bad, they just have different pros and cons), now I'll probably condense my collection and continue buying from companies I like. . . . . .

Oh wait, I just realized I do have two dolls that come from the same artist, Miss zoz on instagram. Her Liz and Lis dolls are so adorable and I love their pouty expressions.

 

I have on-topic dolls from:

Resinsoul / Bobobie
DollZone
Mystic Kid (just a body)
5StarDoll
Withdoll
Soom
Doll Chateau
Cherishdoll / Migidoll
Lumedoll
Lati
Fairyland
DD-Anne
DreamHigh Studio

I've made a promise to myself that I will not buy more dolls now - with the exception of DC Jodie if I ever find one, and certain RealPukis if they happen to cross my path. Neither of which is very likely, but you never know...

 

I have dolls from 10 companies: Volks, Elfdoll, Dollshe, Art Bimong, Dollmore, Glorydoll, Soom, Iplehouse, B&G Doll, and Dollstown.

 

4 including bodies, but most dolls are from Volks or Fairyland.

 

None of my dolls are from the same company.
When looking for a new doll I tend to look at the sculpts rather than by company. Sometimes it ends up being a sculpt I don’t really like but can see potential in and then I go through that company to see if they’ve made anything similar that may fit better for me.
Even with this method I haven’t had more than one doll from a company, though there’s been a few close calls in contenders!
I think it’d be great to find a company that makes sculpts I always fall in love with, but it just hasn’t happened yet!

 

2 companies.
I didn't even branch out on sculpts from the same company until this year, my entire collection consisted of VOLKS F-01s until Ian came in June and a PUYOODOLL Kumako joined very soon after. I love them all and there are some small artist dolls that I also really enjoy and may someday own but I usually don't like to stray away from the familiar.

 

I don't have a lot of "brand loyalty" but what I do have are a lot of dolls *cackles manically*. Currently I own 79 dolls and have 42 companies represented. Some of the companies no longer exist. I've been in the hobby for 15 years and in all that time have only sold a body (the floating heads I had all flatly refused to be put on it *sigh*). Resin enters my house but it does not leave. I have....

There are eight different companies represented in my house
Iplehouse, Granado, Luts, Bishounenhouse, Soom, Ringdoll, Dollzone and Telesthesia doll

 

My crew (as I like to call them) of resin is what I'd consider an eclectic mix. They're a mix of various companies, small artists, and nation of origin—with a few repeats from some, and singles from others.

As far as tallies go, let's see....
Impldoll: 3 full girls (and planning on getting one full boy/possibly 2 heads in the future)
Dollshe: 1 full, 1 head
Doll Leaves: 1 body
Telesthesia/Dragon doll: 2 bodies
Resinsoul: 1 body, jointed/regular hands
Granado: 1 body, 1 head (different body/head types)
Fantasia doll: 2 heads (2021 release)
Supia: 2 heads
Popodoll: 2 bodies, 1 pair jointed hands
Spirit doll: 1 body
Immortality of Soul: 1 body
Loongsoul: 1 full doll (although I use the body for a hybrid)
Iplehouse: 1 full (intending to sell the body eventually)
Ringdoll: 1 body
Arkdoll: 1 body
Dream Valley: 1 creature doll
Lumedoll: 1 full
XMdoll: 1 body
Dikadoll: 2 heads (same sculpt)
Angelsdoll: 1 head
DF-A: 1 head
DF-H: 1 head, 1 pair jointed hands
Dollzone: 1 head
Little Rebel: 1 head
Rosen Garden: 1 head
Dragonshell: 1 head
Fairyland: 1 full
Doll Legend: 2 pairs jointed hands
incoming: Lost Chronicles, 1 full

Honestly....I don't do company loyalty. I focus more on what fits the characters I'm shelling. Some companies/artists might have a wider range of fitting options, but I wouldn't exactly consider it a loyalty thing

 

Interesting to see the specific company collectors and the wide range collectors! I tend towards the latter, myself; there's only two dolls of mine from the same company. But I have a hybrid, so it evens out on the number of dolls versus the number of companies represented!

I've got dolls from:

• Impldoll
• Seed Arts (head) / Dollzone (body)
• Huajing Doll
• Black Cherry Dolls (this is the one I have two of)
• Resinsoul (kind of, saving her to sell to a friend)
• Volks
• Ringdoll
• Dream Valley
• Goblin Tales

I've also got two not quite on topic/literally called out in the rules as a grey area of topicality dolls, and they're from different companies/artists as well.

I am not super picky about matters like matching proportion. My Impldoll boy and one of my Black Cherry gals are supposed to be siblings, but the former wears a 7-8 wig and the latter wears more like a 5-6! She's a lot shorter than he is, though, so that does help. I mostly just go off of whether I feel drawn to a particular doll before getting it. Most of the time, I'm set with one doll from an artist, though I may find their other dolls pretty.

 

Currently, I have 32 dolls from 11 different companies.

11 Resinsoul/ BBB
7 Dollzone
3 Withdoll
3 Myou
2 Dreamvalley
1 Dollmore
1 Unoa
1 Peakswoods
1 mystic kids
1 Maskcat doll
1 Iplehouse

 

At last count: 36

some of the really significant ones included:
Twigling: 7 full dolls, 11 heads
Soom: 1 full doll, four bodies, 1 set of wings
Iplehouse: 1 full doll, 1 head, 1 body, and 1 chest
volks: 2 dd bodies, 1 resin body

after Twigling, not a lot of other companies compare in terms of numbers. I have an obsession with twigling’s sculpts.

 

I'm a bit all over the place, with a total of 16 companies:

Doll Zone - 6 heads
Angel of Dream - 3 bodies
Bobobie - 2 full dolls
Obitsu - 2 full dolls
Impldoll - 1 full doll, 1 body
Doll Love - 1 full doll, 1 head
Souldoll - 1 full doll
Blue Blood Dolls - 1 full doll
Mirodoll - 1 full doll
5Star Dolls - 1 full doll
Modoll - 1 head
Doll In Life - 1 head
Fantasy Doll - 2 bodies
Angel Street - 1 body
Magical-Angel - 1 body
