Love at first sight turning into feelings of blah

Having this exact problem with a sleeping Cloud head I bought almost a year ago. He stayed in a drawer for months, only just got him a body, and there's just no spark to him. Hopefully new eyes will fix it but the sculpt itself is very...frowny. It doesn't work for a happy innocent Crisis Core version of Cloud. Loved him at first, now its blah.

I did it with Soom's Amber too. I fell hard for her pictures, loved her throughout the wait for the first ones to come home, loved her in the Soom store photos...owner photos, love fizzled and died. She's just okay to me now. (Saved my wallet!)

 

That happened me with my Yuuki x.x but unfortunately i had buy him before feeling like that. When I saw him at Resinsoul's web i loved him. When he arrived i loved him too. Whith his first little outfit and wig i still loved him. But then i realized how bad it was to have a doll that doesn't pose properly, a doll that can't stand on his feet and a doll that almost can't be sitted in a place without falling down and things like that... It was maybe the inexistent interaction between us what made me thin that he wasn't what i wanted, or just that i wasn't ready for having a tiny doll... but right now i have him inside his carrier, waiting.

I'm sure i won't sell him, because i want him. I think it could be that i haven't found the perfect character for him >.< I hope i could find him soon so i could show you how cute he is >o<

 

i like dz 1/4 luke. the moment i saw his photo on the site, i fell in love wif it.
however few months later, when i see him as a doll, he didn't look exactly as wad i expected. felt disappointed

 

the first bjd I ever saw was a gorgeous El and I had my heart set on him, until I saw the pics Luts took. I was just like "what do you think you're wearing, matey?" and I went off him. Another factor was the sheer popularity of them. It's important to me to not follow the crowd and so he just wasn't for me.
Then I saw an Iplehouse Kamau and he was so gorgeous and really fit a character of mine. But he was limited and big and scary! so I went off him.
I really like Model Doll Ipsae but she doesn't fit in with my plans, so out the window she goes.
At the moment I'm loving SDF Howl and am saving up for him (£300 ) but who knows, my feelings might change, so I'm nearly glad it's taking a long time.
I also really like Kid delf Lemon but that's probably a fleeting thing


Much later edit- I changed my mind XD. I love my El!

 

I feel like that with some dolls. I loved Euclase when he came out, but now I am not too fond of his face. :/ I still love the idea of a gray doll with bird feet, but I am also glad I didn't purchase him.
I loved Iplehouse EID Luo when he came out as well, but now I don't fancy him much. ^^;
As others have said, it is hard to not get infatuated with limited dolls, especially Sooms. I always think really hard on whether I want them or not... Also because I know they will continue to make great and exciting dolls. It's not the last chance ever to get a doll with funny legs or horns or whatnot.

 

Lol, this happens to me all the time. I change my wishlist on a weekly basis. In the end, I only buy dolls that I've loved for several months.

I've striked DOD Leya, FL MNF Woosoo, Seorin, Miyu, and Ryeon, and puki Pipi and Cupid2 off my wishlist fairy recently, just to give you a general idea...

There's just so many pretty dollies coming out all the time, it's hard not to get infatuated with them...!!

 

I'm still in getting-into-things mode and this has happened to me already. The first doll I ever saw and liked was Domuya's Saisha, and while I still think she's pretty I've come to terms with the fact that I was besotted with the gorgeous photography and eyes on their site rather than the doll herself. >.<;

 

Yes all the time. I have one doll, Carmine, whose in his four body now. I'm hoping that he's the right one, because I'm getting tired of loking to be honest. And my first doll Caleb (Shiwoo) I loved him the minutes I got him. And in the past two years I've become less than ethusiastic about his looks, so he's getting replaced with a Soom Dia Boy and I gave my Shiwoo to my mom.

 

I have a BIG list

every week or so, I go back through it. I have knocked off maybe a quarter of the dolls so far.

it's good to put all the BJD's you like in a list, go through them often. I have also seen that I've duplicated the pictures of some dolls, that's OK too, it means that I REALLY like something about him/her

 

Happened with a bunch of dolls, actually. Especially the LE's - I see them, I fall in love, start thinking about the possible income sources that can be robbed... then look again... and again... and feel that my wallet is more precious and I just can't think of what I am going to do with the doll. Plus I really don't like to see a naked, wigless doll with the wrong eye color that just lies there and looks at me pitifully. The moment I get that feeling, I know the doll isn't meant for me ^^;

 

Hmm... this has happened to me many, many, MANY times. Especially because I'm still waiting for the OK from my parents to be able to buy a doll, even though I have enough money saved up. First I fell completely in love with Iplehouse Tatiana... but then... I don't know, but I got less interested in her and more into the Volks MSD F-18... and then Kid Delf Litchi... and then, well, the list could go on and on.

 

This happened to me with Supia Rosy. When I first saw her I thought she was the most beautiful doll I had ever seen... and now... not so much. I don't know how it changed.

 

When I first start shopping for the right dolls I fell for a lot of the DoD dolls... Kirill would be great for my character and Duncan would make good grown up character.. etc etc.
Well then I shopped around some more and stared at them some more... and blergh. They didnt' seem so attracive anymore.... which was a good thing that I really waited before making my first purchase... I'd hate to buy the doll then found out I hate it.

 

It is the main reason for seeing before buying!

 

Gragh, this happens so often to me. It's a good thing I'm too cowardly to take the plunge and buy a doll but where do I start?

First of of, I fell hard for El and PINED after him for ages and saved and saved. After a while, I went back and looked at him and thought "huh" because there was so much I didn't like. He just wasn't for me. I still see photos of him and feel that little pang of OMGWANT I felt before but not nearly on the same scale. Now, repeat this for DOD Kirill, Crobidoll Lance, Soom Sard and Dia, Dollmore Lawrence Owen and Volks Ryoya.

Unfortunately, this happened recently on a huge scale for Soom Chrom. I was debating up until the very last hour whether to get him. At first I was in love, then half way into the ordering period I was meh and then I fell in love again and after the ordering period I was bummed out but not hugely regretful I had missed him. NOW I wish I had and I'm still wildly in love with him and wondering if I only felt "meh" because I was trying to convince myself not to get him. I'll be scanning the marketplace like a girl possessed the second they start arriving. XD

I'm not very good at saving but I AM very good at not buying things.

 

the feeling is even worse when you actually get your dream doll only to then not want it anymore.

(this has happened to me repeatedly thought my bjd experience.)

 

this is me most of the time. i start doubting myself, possibly a subconscious reason to keep my money. but once the doll comes i am in love again!

 

Thankfully I am still in the pre-owner realm. My flights of fancy when it comes to the doll I want to purchase is insane. I am so glad for this forum and the images to help me decide on my boy. Thankfully, I am still toying with 3-4 boys before I decide on one to buy first.

 

Yup, Bobobie's Pixie did that to me. I was planning on making her my first doll, but the more I looked at owner pics the more I thought, "dear GODS her eyes are huge".

 

It happens to me all the time. That´s why I turned to be such an impulsive buyer. I see a doll, I like and I buy it. Everytime I do research I keep changing my mind. I hope it will be different with my next doll. I wish I wasn´t so obssesed with perfectionXD
