How much was your first doll?

I guess it depends on what doll we count. My first doll in the hobby was my Smart Doll Prowess, which was around $450 plus quite a lot extra for her clothes. But she might not count since she's off topic. Next was my Dollfie Dream Karin, which was also around the same price (plus a lot extra for clothes, wigs, etc.)

My first resin BJD was expensive though, since she's a FCS Ever Beauty that required proxy fees and whatnot to get my hands on. I think at the time we didn't have as good of a conversion of dollars to yen, so the total with her clothes, extra parts, all the Satogaeri services and fees added up to around $2700.

 

Mine was a SD Mark, purchased directly from the Volks website. I remember being around 500 euro, including shipping and +100 euro of custom charges.

 

Oh gosh, it's been like 15 years. At least $400, I couldn't give you an exact number.

 

Mine was a PukiPuki and she was $165.00 in 2009

 

My first full doll was either a Dollzone Carter or a Resinsoul Wu, so either around $260 or $200 after shipping. My first doll purchase was technically only $80 because I bought just the head intending to buy the body after I got a job. I do not recommend this to people looking to make their first hobby purchase, lmao. Don't be impatient like me. Save up for that full doll.

 

I think the first doll I ordered was a Doll Leaves Alisa, so she wasn’t expensive even with the company face up. However, I sold her as I realised that I didn’t really like the size, and there is something about Doll Leaves that just doesn’t work for me. (I tried a msd years later and sold her too.)

 

my first doll was a ResinSoul Bei from Denver Doll Emporium for $110.00.

 

I think she was about £125 ish for a Resinsoul Li, about 4 years ago, and now I'm buying dolls that are in the £500-£600 range, thought I really struggle with convincing myself to spend that much, even though I absolutely love all of my dolls!

 

Mine was a gift, so she was free, but the first doll I bought for myself was a Minifee that was $397 at the time.

 

My first doll I ordered was cheap as far as this hobby goes (Bobobie Elfkin with face-up, eyes, eye putty, wig cap, and two wigs at $113.00 shipped) but during the 8 month wait for him to arrive I received an off topic Jun Planning Ai (Moss Rose) from my mom and ordered 4 more bjds for prices ranging from $30.00-$450.00) though one of them is an off topic hujoo(RIP), the others were a Pipos Baby Cheshire, a Fairyland Pukifee Ante, and a Dollzone Scorpio)
Without going through messages and emails to find invoices and the like I can't remember all of their individual costs.

 

My first is about 500 CAD with the joint hand, but I got soom as my second. So I almost broke!

 

My first doll was about 400 dollars. I remember I was so excited to have her. She was May in bluefairy. I don’t own any bluefairy dolls anymore, but I still like that company

 

My first doll was a Mini Dollfie Dream and she was roughly $400. I never thought I'd feel comfortable spending that amount on a doll after admiring them from afar, but after taking the plunge I've never once regretted it

 

From what I can recall about $700-$800 for a full set. It was a Rosen Lied doll.

Edit: forgot to mention it was a brand new doll

 

My first doll was $220 with Faceup, clothes, wig and shoes from previous owner

 

2100 CNY from Loongsoul.

 

My first BJD was Dollfie Dream Towa. She cost £450 brand new with low shipping costs and no import duties since she was already in the UK.

I had to buy her a few outfits though, as she only came with a basic nightdress and pantsu.

My first resin BJD was Super Dollfie Mytyl (pic in avatar). She cost 170,000 JPY. I didn't win last year's lottery when she was around 95,000. She came beautifully packaged and with a really nice outfit.

On the plus side I've just secured her optional outfit set, and it cost a lot less than I thought I'd have to pay to acquire it.

I did recently pay a lot to acquire Dollfie Dream Kagamine Rin, then found out she's going to be re-released.

 

My first BJD was a Bunny Bunny Maple C doll that I ordered on mandarake for about 250$.

She's super cute and the perfect 1/6 size.

 

My first was a fullset Dream Valley Dean, he was 590USD~ I thought he was so expensive but now I've started getting SDs...

 

my first doll costed a bit over $500... i bought him blank because i know i'd just wipe the company faceup, and i wasnt too interested in the clothes he would come with... but the next doll im looking at will cost a little less :b !
