How Old Are You (continued... 2)

I'm 32. I discovered BJDs and joined the forums in 2008, when I was 16. Ah, that's half my life ago! I don't think I would have thought back then that I would still be collecting in my 30s (my parents definitely didn't! Another weird phase, they thought!)

 

i'm turning 33 next week! but i was introduced to the concept of BJDs sometime in the mid-late 00s and fell in love instantly. it's only just this year that i've been able to get my first doll, so that was a looonnng time dream come true!

 

I'm 31 and got my first (and currently only) doll at 18

 

I turned 31 this year and I just bought my first doll. Currently awaiting it's arrival

 

27 and waiting for my first (resin) BJD to arrive I can't wait!

 

31 and just getting back into the hobby after 11ish years. It's nice seeing others around my age.

 

Going to update my post, I just turned 22 yesterday. ^_^

 

Im 34. Have only been in the hobby for around two years (have know to BJD since early 2000, but got my first doll last year).

 

I'm 35, I found the hobby around 2004 and joined the forum a few years later. Only recently got back into it.

 

I’m 21! I got my first doll this year after being interested in BJDs for a while

 

Hi everyone!
I'm 43 years old, and I got my first bjd a little over a year ago, so I'm one of those who started the hobby later.
The reason? I discovered the world of bjds about 3 or 4 years ago, and it took me a long time to save up for my first bjd, which turned out to be a second-hand pukifee that I got for a good price, although in pretty bad condition.
After that I started selling my collection of Barbies and, thanks to that, I already have an SD and an MSD on the way.

 

Hey all! I'm 32 years old. I discovered BJDs when I was 14 (about half a lifetime ago)... but ofc I didn't have a lot of money to spend then as a teenager.

As an adult with a career, however, money comes by a little easier. I bought a SDGR Williams a few months ago, and a DWC-03 and 05 head at the LA Dolpa yesterday!

 

When I first started, just a young thing. Now, I'm probably old enough to be someone's mother on here. Hahahaha.

 

im 20, turning 21 and getting into bjd's after collecting pullips for nearly a decade

 

I'm 22 now i started with doll in my 16

 

I love collecting communities because they bring people of all ages together. I am 45 this year, old enough to have seen the Cabbage Patch Craze, which is what started my obsession with dolls actually

 

39 this year (insert melting emoji). I found out about BJDs in late 2000, got my first in 2002. I got busy with life and stuff and things in 2009 and came back to the hobby in late 2022 and things were/are so different!. Dolls are easier to acquire and there are so many more options. Not that I'm making it rain doll parts around here, but it's a totally different game now that I'm an adult with adult money than when I was still in highschool... I can remember hoping to add a doll to my collection every other year or so, if I was lucky. Now it's not nearly as hard to get something if I really want it.

 

I remember wanting those as a kid. They still make 'em, but with plastic faces that aren't the same. BJDs are always beautiful, though.

 

I am 36 years old and I joined the BJD hobby when I was 23 years old, the truth is that it brings me many good things so I am grateful to have found this exciting world.

 

I am 36, but not for much longer, will be 37 in about 17 days? I think I counted right? xD I got my first bjd while I was at Uni. I learnt about them from my friend there Before that though I've collected dolls in general for as long as I can remember. I've always loved dolls. I still have the first 'not a toy' doll I fell in love with when I was 8. A cheap porcelain thing (its pretty scary honestly) but I loved her. She came with a broken finger and I remember watching my granddad glue it back on. I thought he was so clever and amazing
