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

I have dolls/parts from 12 different companies and with 9 dolls and one head.
I like hybrids and i think its fun to mix and match from different companies.

 

I definitely lean towards having dolls from different companies, as I like having a good distinction of styles for my different dolls (though my dolls do have a lot of similar characteristics to each other!).

If I'm including the dolls I have on order, I have 22 companies represented in my collection (including five companies where I only have bodies, and five companies where I only have heads!).

Advillage: 1 full doll
Aimerai: 1 full doll
Akagi Doll: 1 body
Angelogue: 1 head
April Story: 1 body
Chicabi: 1 full doll, 1 head
Doll Family A: 1 body
Doll in Mind: 1 head
Doll Leaves: 1 body
Fairyland: 1 head
Gem of Doll: 1 full doll
Kanadoll: 1 head
Little Monica: 1 full doll, 1 head, 1 body
Luts: 1 full doll
Myou: 1 full doll
Peak's Woods: 1 full doll
Ringdoll: 1 full doll
Rosen Lied: 2 full dolls, 1 head
Soom: 1 head, 1 body
Wonderland Doll: 1 full doll
Woosh Doll (观风与月舒): 1 head
Yemaozi / Chat a Feuilles: 1 body

There are only four companies who make up two or more dolls within my collection: Chicabi, Little Monica, Rosen Lied, and Soom!

Little Monica was the first doll company I ever bought from, and both of my dolls were bought at the same time. One of my Little Monica boys is a floating head, as his body was more well-suited to another character, but I could see myself getting another Little Monica body for him (albeit a bigger one).

I do really love Chicabi, though it's very expensive to buy from them! I see myself getting a doll from their sister company, Luna Blanc.

Rosen Lied might be my favourite doll company, I especially love their sculptor Kana (who also produces her own sculpts as Kanadoll, which I also own, and is part of Petit Soiree). I might be tempted by more Rosen Lied dolls, especially as they make my favourite sculpt ever, Bambi! I own three Bambi head sculpts, two Holiday's Child and a senior version from Kanadoll.

I really love Soom's Little Gems, and I could probably have a whole collection of them haha. I am only planning on getting a Serin/Rico head, but you never know!

 

Almost 2 years to the day from my last post and I've gone from 79 dolls then to 90 from 50 different companies. I think it's funny that I started out collecting MSD and they're the smallest number of dolls in my collection at just 14. I have 27 tinies and 49 SD. I'm also counting the 50-ish cm boys as SD.

 

All my dolls are from different companies, and 2 are hybrids, so I have representatives of 8 different companies.

 

My full dolls come from 5 different companies, only two are a “one each.”

I’m not a brand loyalist, but I tend to be drawn to the same companies over and over because I like their style and they often have a lot of dolls that I like.

 

I have dolls/doll parts from 8 different companies, although I must admit I'm a bit of a Peaks Woods fanatic and I am not ashamed.

Souldoll: 1 full doll
Fairyland: 1 full doll, 1 head
Angel of Dream: 1 body (for modding/sewing experiments but I'm counting it)
Myou: 1 body
Doll Leaves: 1 head (that I use for wig making), 1 body
Luts: 2 full dolls
Do Dolls Dream: 3 full dolls
Peaks Woods: 6 full dolls, 2 heads

I currently have 15 full dolls including hybrids and another Luts body ordered for a floating head so almost 16.

 

As a fan of hybrids and frankendolls, I realized what I have came from more than five companies
Luts - 1 full doll, 3 heads
Dream of Doll - 1 full doll
Angell Studio - 1 head
Doll Fairyland - 1 full doll, 1 body
Leekeworld - horns and ears
Dollzone - 1 pair of jointed clawed hands
Soom - 1 pair of tiny hands
Immortality of Soul - 2 bodies
Doll Family H - 1 head

 

That's changed ... 27 different companies. It's been two years since I last posted here. I have been branching out.

Bobobie - 3
Dikadoll - 1
Doll Chateau - 2
Doll Family A - 4
Doll Family H - 3
Doll Leaves - 6
Doll Love - 1

i just counted it all up, and right now i have 22 dolls-- but those 22 dolls are composed of resin from 26 different companies. out of my 22 dolls, only 3 are non-hybrids: Souldoll Robb, April Story Adrienne, and Iplehouse Audrey. the other 19 are all an absolute patchwork. i have no "brand loyalty" whatsoever and i like making hybrids

my two biggest Frankendolls are both ones that started off with old Mirodoll bodies. my first bjd was originally an Elfdoll head on a Mirodoll body, but at this point she really only has a Mirodoll torso-- everything else has been replaced with bits from other companies. my Granado guy on a Mirodoll body still has his whole body but with Iplehouse hands and Mystic Kids feet.

i ended up with two Dollmore head/Angel of Dream body hybrid dolls without planning it, because i bought an old AoD body thinking i was going to use it for a floating head, but the color match was irredeemable. and i didn't actually have any other floating heads to use it with...so i bought it a head. the only head i didn't already have that i was interested in at the time was Dollmore Aileen, so i got that one. it turned out to be such a cute hybrid! then i came across a Dollmore Skylar head on the marketplace and ended up buying her and giving my Angel of Dream Yuki's body to her so Yuki could move to an Impldoll Star body. sometimes my doll collection has felt like it was being built in a super haphazard game of Musical Chairs except with bodies and parts.

Impldoll has also ended up being heavily represented in my collection-- i actually have more dolls with Impl parts in their mix than any other company. again-- super unplanned. i have 2 Impl head sculpts (neither of which are on Impl bodies) and 5 dolls that have various Impldoll bodies, though none of the Impl bodies are the same one twice. they're just pretty good bodies for hybrids, imo.

i also ended up with 2 Dikadoll heads, 2 Elfdoll heads, and 2 Iplehouse heads. 3 of my dolls are on Resinsoul bodies, and 2 are on 5Stardoll bodies. i have a Supia head and a Supia body, but not together-- Supia Muriel is on a 5Stardoll body and Impldoll Crystal is on the Supia body...

...like i said, it's a complete resin hodge-podge. i choose doll heads because i like their faces, when making hybrids i go by what parts make a doll look the way i want it to, i have no regard for what's meant to go with what and i don't care at all about brands.

 

All together, my resin dolls are from about 6 companies i think? 4 of them are from 2 companies (Ringdoll and Loongsoul), and my other 3 are hybrids from 3 companies for the heads (Switch, Dream Valley, and an off topic company) and Resinsoul for the bodies. I'm not counting loose heads I have that I don't plan on bodying though. If i did that, then it'd be 8 companies xD

 

Going to update because it's fun to see. Out of 18 doll characters listed in my profile right now (including disembodied heads) I have parts from 25 different companies.
I have always liked hybrids, almost everyone is a hybrid. I also enjoy sampling variety of different makers intentionally.
Repeats by makers in my collection right now are from Little Rebel, Switch and Volks.

 

Thought it'd be fun to come back to this after a few new acquirements.

Edit: Adding a bit of a breakdown for myself, mostly, because my tracking spreadsheet is a disaster. Tell me your collection's too big without telling me your collection's too big.

Soom: 10
Supergem: 3
Minigem: 3
Tinygem: 3
Rosette: 1
Fairyland: 10.5
F60: 1
Minifee: 4.5 (1 hybrid part)
Fairyline: 1
Littlefee: 1
Pukifee: 3
Luts: 3
Delf: 2
Jr. Delf: 1
Summerbird: 2
Leeke: 2 (well, heads at least)
Resinsoul: 1.5 (1 full, 1 hybrid part)
Dream Valley: 2.5 (2 full, 1 hybrid part)
And coming in at 1 each for the rest:
Bimong, HZDoll, Dollzone, Limhwa, Crobidoll, Withdoll, Mystic Kid, and Ringdoll. Telethesia & Dragon sneaks in at .5 with a body I have yet to find a head for.

That puts me at 16 different companies, not counting the off-topic artist head. Not too big of a shift, although it's been tenuous at best since Dream Valley seems determined to come for Soom's former Fantasy Fullset Central throne.

 

2 years later...

I have 9 full dolls and a floating head at home, and they represent 12 companies. 4 of the full dolls are head-body hybrids. My collection demographics are in this thread.

The 2 companies most represented are Dollstown and Volks, each with 1 full doll and 1 body hybrid, though Volks actually wins because a 3rd doll has hybrided Volks hands and wears them permanently. The other companies are represented once, either in a full doll or a head/body.
I love option parts (can't have too many hand poses!) and have parts from 4 more companies, but my dolls don't always wear them so I don't count them in the tally.

My original post still holds true. I love owning dolls from different creators and enjoy playing with a wide variety of joint engineering, and I don't own the same body twice, even the ones from the same company. My one floating head is waiting for a body and I plan to get that from a dollmaker I haven't tried yet.

 

At the moment I have dolls from four different companies. Six if you include bodies for the hybrids.

I have:
Luts/CP (4)
Volks (1)
Migidoll (2)
Iplehouse (2)

And then I also have Little Monica and B&G bodies for the hybrids.

I've owned dolls from a lot more companies in the past, but now I have a better idea of what I really love so my interests have narrowed. I probably wouldn't even have the Iplehouse dolls if I wasn't so emotionally attached to them. They're not the style/size I would go for now but those ones are with me forever.

 

I have a massive collection that has reached almost 40 different companies and artists (several of the individual artists are off-topic, so not in my profile list). I've slowed down a bit, thank goodness, but I expect that list to grow at least a bit as I'm looking for specific body types for a couple lonely heads that have been waiting a while.

 

I’m a major Crobidoll fan so most of my dolls come from them, but I do have Loongsoul, IOS, and a Joydoll as well.

 

I love the variety in my crew and how well they all go together. The companies my dolls are from are crobidoll 1, fairyland 3, frappzilla 2, harucasting 2, merrydoll round 3, youpla dolls 1, dollshe 1, migidoll 2, and iplehouse 1. Its a very realistic vibe of different sizes shapes and tones of resin.

 

I don't stick to one company, I just buy anything according to my own sense of beauty. The biggest group is represented by Doll Chateau because I like their aesthetics. I have full dolls as well as hybrids.
DollZone: 1 full doll
Doll Chateau: 3 dolls, 1 body
Little Rebel: 2 heads
MYou: 2 dolls, 1 head
Dream Valley: 1 body
Luts: 1 body
Xaga Doll: 1 doll
Impldoll: 1 doll
Coralreef: 1 head
Huajing: 1 body
And if jointed hands count too, I have 1 pair of DollZone hands and 1 pair of Doll Family-A hands.
