I will never...(but you did anyway)

"I will never own more heads than bodies"
Owns more floating heads than full dolls

"No SDs they are too big"
Have two, one is waiting for a 75cm body and Ive been lurking in the dollmore lusion thread

"I will not let my dolls lay unfinished forever, I'll fix one at a time starting this weekend"
Many weekends have passed with zero progress

 

Oh, that's the funniest joke of all... *sob*

 

Haha right? somehow new resin keeps coming in and the queue to "finished" gets longer

 

I will NEVER ...

• Own more the ten dolls - I'm over the 50 mark.
• Own larger the ¼ - the majority of my collection is ⅓ and above.
• Modify a doll - Dremel & Apoxie Sculpt are my friends.
• Restring a doll - I don't know why, but that was a fear.
• Spend more the $600 on a doll - This one is laughable now.
• Buy a Volks SD - I'm planning for one next month to replace a doll I can longer get.
• Own anything not human - vampires and fox eared boys surround me.
• Have more then one doll on order at a time - Um... yeah.
• Have more then three 'Uncles' - I have 6 uncles and an Auntie.
• Own more then one SD girl - 3 soon to be 4.

*Note on the no Volks thing, I am not a big fan of their hands, but I noticed Volks has other hands for sell that I can order along with the doll. The SD girl dolls are really cute and that's why I am caving in on this one.

 

I don’t have very many “nevers” because I feel like there are almost always exceptions somewhere and I’m okay with that

After getting my first SD sized doll though, I thought that would be the size I’d collect the most. My first two were MSDs and I thought I was mostly done with that size.

Guess which size I have mostly collected since — yep, MSDs.

 

"I don't think I'm into Volks, I'm not going to get one of those," I say as my SDM sits lovingly at my desk and I await a proxy order for a Volks head and I might be contemplating getting the Volks boy a friend...maybe I ended up liking them just a little...

 

"I will never get a bigger doll, they're too much to handle" - Only going for SDs now

"I will never get a boy doll" - A very manly man is on the way

"I will never restring unless I absolutely have to" - Okay that wasn't so bad and I'd do it again

"I will never let my dolls go shoeless" - Sobs

 

My poor Kira has been shoeless since I got her in 2010/2011. That is definitely on the list to fix this year

I also have to fix another doll’s shoes. She’s been barefoot for about a year.

I now have a rule that I have to order shoes for a doll either when they’re ordered. And a longer term goal is for each doll to have 2-3 pairs of shoes…

 

My only "never" was anything smaller than 1/3. Got a 1/4 as my second doll.

 

Seems to be pretty common, but when I first got into the hobby I thought I would never get a 1/3 since I thought they were too big and expensive. Well now I have two, and if space and funds permit, I would get more.

 

Another on the "I won't get any SDs" and then got one anyway list! But hey, at least I'm sticking with the small, under 60cm ones?

Also "I won't get any single-jointed dolls!" I've got a few that have one set of single-jointed limbs, be it arms or legs. Now, all of those I didn't realize they had single-jointed limbs, but then I sprung for another doll on one of the same bodies!

 

I said I'd never get an ID75 boy—that just admiring others' photos would be enough. But then I stumbled on a sculpt I really liked, and, well… the rest is history. No regrets though—he's absolutely worth it.
