1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

How Many Dolls Did You Buy Your First Year?

Aug 21, 2011

    1. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting?
      Good gracious. Let me try and count...um..maybe 20? Give or take a few? Some were bought and sold though, so I'm not sure how to count them. :sweat

      Did you finish your first doll before buying more?
      Nope. I tend to just buy more resin instead of buying clothes for those already home. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break..:doh
       
    2. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting?

      Well, starting from the time I joined the hobby, it's been a year, and I have two heads and a full doll on the way. If we're counting from the time my first resin arrived, there's still a couple of months left, so that count might still rise, especially if Soom has their way with me. ^^"

      Did you finish your first doll before buying more?

      Not nearly - I still have yet to buy a body for my first girl, since I keep getting distracted by limiteds. I have a lot of clothes, wigs and eyes ready for when she does finally get a body, though.
       
    3. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting?
      it has not been a year and i am on 3 dolls, and 1 head : )

      Did you finish your first doll before buying more?
      yes, but i still spoil her with clothing.
       
    4. I'm roughly 2 months away from my 12 month mark but unless I magically get money between now and then I don't think that I'll be getting anymore this year then the two I already have. I have wanted a few more, but I'm so finicky that even if I had the money, I'd lose interest in a sculpt too quickly to actually buy it. Either that or end up with a new doll every month.
      But I'm happy with what I have, their both beautiful, perfect dolls.
       
    5. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting? Did you stay content with your first doll for a while, did you immediately start buying more, or do you still just have your one doll?

      My first year of collecting was in 2003 and I didn't get another for a few years after that. I took a break, and again didn't start buying more until later.

      Similarly, Did you finish your first doll before buying more?
      Yes, I did! I still have her old faceup (one of my first I ever did) and everything.
       
    6. I bought 7 in my first month, lol
       
    7. On the fifth of september i've been in the hobby for one year. During that year i've gotten 5 dolls, and sold one. That's not to bad ^^ I've also managed to resist buying another 5 dolls, my bank account is grateful for that!
       
    8. Just one on my first year, 2 years later I got another one but my first boy wasn't finished until 3 years later (because I couldn't find the perfect eyes for him).
       
    9. So today it is the 1 year mark of me actually having a doll and I have 23 full dolls and 4 heads (+1 full doll and 2 heads for sale). 3 full dolls and 2 heads on the way. I have sold and trades some dolls away.

      As for finishing my 1st doll she came fullset and at the time I was not planning to change her. Right now 95% of my dolls are pretty much done I only need to change a few face ups and and get about 3 face ups for my blank heads. I also need 3 bodies. Currently I am working on 2 SD project dolls I want to do modding and have fun with most others are or will soon be done (or as done as my ever changing dolls get)
       
    10. Two, my first was supposed to be a girl but I found Oskar and fell in love so I had to buy him. Couple months later I found Satoko and got her. ^^'
      I like to buy resin. Clothes? No. Wigs? No. Even shoes? No. xD Still I think my first doll was "finished" already when I got him. He was supposed to have black wig and green/red eyes but I just felt like he was perfect with stuff he already had.
       
    11. I bought and sold over six dolls, and currently have three that I have kept :) lol
       
    12. Ive recently gotten back into bjd's and have 2 at home with another 3 on the way! It can be so addicting so now I'm just trying to build up a gorgeous wardrobe for them to wear :)
       
    13. Well, this is my first year of actually interacting in the hobby, haha. So far I've bought two, but I'm currently saving up for a third one, and I plan to buy her before December. So, in total, three. Maybe if I change my mind I'll order two instead, and it'll be four. xD
       
    14. OMG in a period of just 9 months i am going on 3 :o
      first a michelle_a from longsoul
      and now an MG and Idealian from soom together!! :doh
      this is madness!!!! :? LOL!
       
    15. I started this year, pretty slow at the beginning but this changed way too soon. So far I already bought 10 dolls this year *_*
       
    16. In my first year, I had twelve at home, and two more already halfway paid for xD Together my partner and I have twenty dolls between us now, at home, with a few more on the way. I do like to finish dolls before new ones come along (I buy eyes, wigs, clothes while waiting for the dolls), but I've been racing to get all the dolls I really want before I move out and have rent and utilities to take care of, since it's easier to buy small things like clothes and wigs on a budget than it is to save up for whole dolls. :p
       
    17. I've been in the hobby for about 6 years now but just last week ordered my first doll :sweat
      so in my "first year" I didn't buy any but in my first year after getting my first doll I only bought 1
       
    18. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting?
      One so far, but it is not year yet. I will see if i will have spare money but i doubt that.

      Did you finish your first doll before buying more?
      She is still unfinished as i had some real life issues and also awaiting baby with ma husband :) but i am planing some clothes and props for her which all will need to be handmaded
       
    19. How many dolls did you purchase in your first year of collecting?
      I bought two full dolls, traded to another full doll and bought four heads.

      Did you finish your first doll before buying more?
      No, not even close. I actually never finished my first many dolls. I ended up selling them.
       
    20. This is my first year so 2 so far
