Multiple dolls for one character?

Just image these two are twins!That may be interestingXD

 

100% agree with you.

I have plans to make a doll of Yoru's drow form, and our current kids (Sage and Thyme) will eventually grow into teenagers, though I'm not getting rid of their child selves. I never once questioned whether it was 'weird' or not. Particularly if it gives me an excuse to add more dolls I admire to my wishlist.

 

I was just curious how many collectors get multiple dolls for the same character? For example, I've been contemplating picking up a particular MSD because to me the face mold looks like a young teenaged version of my Littlefee and I thought it might be fun to have her as both a child and a young adult. It just got me wondering if others did the same or similar things, and why, and how it's viewed by the rest of the community.

So...anyone else do this? ^_^.

 

That actually sounds really interesting. Having a child, MSD and SD for one character would really be amusing, but at the same time I'd feel a bit bad that all the dolls would have the same name and whatnot. Personally I don't think I'd do it simply because I wouldn't want to have the confusion of calling all the dolls by the same name, and trying to bond with them all the same way. If anything, with 'similar' dolls, I'd make them related in some way, rather then just having different ages.
But that's just my two cents. c:

 

I think what intrigues me for this specific character is that there is a world of difference in potential scenarios and interactions with other dolls between her at age 8 and age 13/14 or so. I can't imagine doing it with my other dolls, owned or planned, but with Cecile I keep going back to thinking of the personality changes and new challenges she'd have, given her personality and backstory...it's odd because normally I'd think the same way you do, that it would be too confusing having two of the same doll, but I can't shake it in this case for some reason!

 

I know that some people do this :] Have like, a YoSD and SD version of the same character. I sort of want to (and sort of am), but it's different because it's not an older/younger version of a character, but more like two~three parts of the same character |D" (If that makes any sense.)

 

I have a CH Hani who is Yo-SD sized and she is actually much older. So I plan on later getting her in her true form/size as maybe an SD Chami. I think it will be nice and fun to see the dolls in different stages of their lives since they don't actually age..@o@

 

I just thaught of this today!I kinda whant to do that wit one of my characters, but I`m still contemplaining if I should spent that much money on a character, or use it to do one of my other characters, if that makes any sense...

 

Yeah, lots & lots of people do this. It's common.

If you like your character at multiple stages in life-- or even if you want multiple moods/expressions of the same face at the same age-- if you want dolls of all of them, then do it.

 

I have a teen version of my Meisa played by my Ha-Yarn Cho. As long as I don't have them in the same room too often, it's not all that weird. I've even been lately considering a chibi version of my Sabik, a tiny I can carry around in my purse.

 

It would be interesting... I've thought about it. :3

 

I have a puki puki for a character (she's still in development) and plan on getting an SD sized doll who would be the same character in a different... form xD

 

I've recently done this. I have Haniel in his normal form (Cherish Chubby Demon boy) which looks like a 6 year old and Haniel in his teenaged form (FL Ruth) where he looks about 16 years old. Haniel is a demon and can change his shape at will, but he can't hold the older version for more than a few hours at a time yet. His personality/manner of speech changes along with his size as well.

I had vague "some day" ideas of getting a teen!Haniel but never thought I would until there was a great deal on the MP and I kept going back to the sales thread. I threw caution to the wind and bought him after a month of staring and I'm very happy with this alternate version.

 

When/if Bambicrony releases their Bellezza line, and it's SD girls, and they come in tan, then I'll have an adult version of at least one of my Brava Bambis for sure.

 

I'm working on kid-versions for my Fire Emblem game character dolls Ike & Soren at the moment. They will be Yo-SD size. And I also think about Puki versions of them too... (I already made their outfits and got wigs for them, but still no idea when I have the money ready to get the Pukis)

 

Hi guys, don't think a thread like this has been started before, so I thought i'd start one.

Have any of you ever had two dolls for the one character? For example, a child form and an adult form?

I'm looking at doing this for my Damian (whose child form is on the way) but I wanted to see if anyone else had done something like this before.

 

Different dolls for the same character?

Personally I haven't, but I would. My FCS MSD girl could use an adult version. Just waiting for Volks to offer FCS for the SD16 or the not-yet-released SDGr G bodies. So that's likely years away, if ever. :P

 

I haven't, but it's not uncommon either. I've sort of kicked around the idea a little bit in the past, but never seriously. I'm not sure if it's something that would work for me.

 

Ahhh darn there was another thread ><

Well i guess it depends on their storylines? For example Damian goes through a lot as a child, and then a lot as an adult - so it may be easier (although definitely not cheaper!) to have the two separate dolls.
