Is Box Opening Still Fun?

i love it do i only have open 1 and waiting fo my second i dont think i will ever get bored

 

I've only opened 8 doll boxes before, but I can honestly say that the excitement is still there. Not sure if I'll be saying that when I'm on... say... my 20th box opening though lol.

I think I'll probably still be excited, but just not as eager to think up box opening photostories for every single doll I get

 

I have three dolls and I still find the idea of the arrival of my next doll really exciting. It's a terribly addictive hobby! D;

 

I don't really get excited if I'm opening a box for a split. It makes it work, not fun! I definetely get really excited if it's something just for me though. I've done eight openings so far, and only been really excited about two. My first resin ever, and my first real doll. I don't get excited about bodies, it means I have to get those floating heads their eyes and wigs and spend more money.

 

Just openend my ninth girl and yes, it's just as exciting!
I've never been much for photographing them, but it's still fun as always. Each doll is different, and seeing them for the first time is a sort of precious moment.

 

Heheh, JennyN, I'm the same, I get a thrill from receiving snail mail -- though in my case even junk addressed to me is exciting. Just because I get so few letters in the mail! (Bills come through e-mail nowadays. )

I love box openings (though I've only had two full dolls arrive so far), it's always exciting to see this particular doll, this particular sculpt, for the first time. I did post a Box Opening thread for my first doll, it was such a novel idea then. The novelty has worn off though.

 

I'm waiting on numbers 10, 11, and 12, and believe me, the box openings never get old. Nor does the wait ever get easier. XD

 

OH YES.....Sooooo much fun.....I nearly tackled the poor postman yesterday as he came up the pathway...lol...the box was so big he had to carry it inside for me (don't worry he knows about my dollies and he likes them!).......I just couldn't wait to rip into the box and get my dollie out... it's so exciting...nothing else compares to a "box opening"....it's a real high!.....and then you can't stop staring at the doll.....I'm still on a high from my "box opening" from yesterday....can you tell...lol....

Yes.

It's *always* fun to open a new doll box, no matter how many other little resin minions you have.

 

Still fun for me after 6!
The last one in particular was exciting because I never had to wait longer than a week to get my doll before, and it was my first SD

Am I the only one who likes to kind of drag out the moment by taking lots of pictures? Must savor box opening! lol

 

I still get excited! #8 is on the way and I'm going crazy! waiting is horrible! lol

 

The box opening is what I enjoy the most from this hobby (along with photography). I even get utterly excited when I'm waiting for a pair of shoes for my doll

 

After more than 40 box openings, I still get excited, I still take pictures, I still feel my heart in my throat. I don't -post- box opening very often anymore, but I still take the pictures for my own memories.

 

Each and every one!

Me too! I still do the reverent hush and gentle lift of the body.... the careful unwrapping... I just don't have time to get the camera and think of anything witty to share.
So many times now, I'm either opening at work and trying to be stealthy about it (yeahright - ~I~ can be stealthy about it, but my coworkers????), or my husband has had to pick the box up from the post office for me, and I get the box after work, when it's dark, and there's no way in heck I'm going to wait for daylight just for some crazy pictures! Must. Molest. Doll. Now.

Oh, and absolutely, to everything JennyNemesis said! (per usual)

 

Yep still just as exciting. I text my best friend as soon as a box arrives. Sometimes I can handle waiting till hubby gets home to do the full opening, but if I'm having a really bad day or just too excited I tear into the box right away. Sometimes I get out other members of the "family" for the opening. Just depends on my mood and where the character fits in. I wouldn't order a doll in the first place if I wasn't excited to have them here.

 

It never gets old, 30+ in, I can hand on heart say I've loved the arrival of them all, and I remember the arrivals still! It doesn't matter if they're second hand or straight from the company, there's never going be to a time when opening a box and seeing a face isn't a happy making experience for me

 

I only have one doll atm, but have a head on order, and hopefull will get the body for Christmas. While I havent technically opened a second BJD package, I still feel as excited if not more excited than with my first.
My first doll, I was a bit worried about how I'd feel. If I'd really get into BJDs as much as I felt I would. But since I know the answer to that is "HELL YEAH!", that worry is gone. So the excitment is pure instead of slightly tained by worry. Every new doll is like getting a new pet or having a child. One after the other is still just as exciting as the first, and on the plus side, you can be even more excited because that worry of 'I hope this turns out well' is much more subdued.


It's an exciting hobby XD

 

Sure is! I make mine into stories as I go along. Totally unscripted, but people seem to like them and I have fun doing them

 

Chaypeta has a point. I completely agree with her 100%

 

I love unwrapping any package I've been waiting for, so a Doll is a great big heck yes! Like others though, the pictures aren't so big for me. Even with my first doll, my Delf, I was doing it more because I thought I SHOULD, less because I felt the need to. Her laying naked covering herself doesn't charm much lol. The pictures I took a few minutes later, all done up and dressed are the ones I love.
