Obsessed with another owner's doll?

I wouldn't go so far to say obsessed with another owner's doll but there are 2 other people who's dolls I dearly adore and I can't wait to see new pictures of all the time. I'm too embarrassed to say who those dolls are, but they are so super lovely and frankly, I'm shocked they haven't been mentioned in this thread (as old as it is lol)

 

I admit there has deff been some dolls on here that my jaw just drops over! But I loves my boys so much, I wouldn't want to change anything about them!

Also I think if I ever tried to copy someones doll cause I loved it so much... it wouldn't be the same... I think I would always look at it as being the other persons doll rather then having my own unique doll.

Just an opinion!

 

Okay...I'll admit that I have always lusted (as in taking my breath away and creating immediate uncontrollable "grabby hands") after any doll that belongs to Artdoll56. She presents them so beautifully and their look is so unique, like antique paintings. I so enjoy her artistry. Surely if one was left in a basket on my doorstep, she would not go wanting for a home!

But by far my strongest obsession was with Evenstar's Dollfie Dream. I fell madly in love with this doll when I first saw her put up for sale by the artist on eBay. I couldn't explain it, but I was absolutely mesmerized by her. It was the strongest emotional bond I've ever felt towards a doll that was not mine...like there was an instant connection between us. Unfortunately, I could not afford to bid on her at the time and stood by mournfully as she was sold to someone else. I remember being quite bewildered that I felt such a strong connection to a doll I could never have. I never forgot her and thought about her often thereafter. She was the one doll that truly "haunted" me. But this story has a happy ending. After passing through a couple more owners, she came up for sale again right here in the DoA marketplace. The owner was kind enough to let me do a layaway for her and today she is happily living with me in my home!!! Don't you just love happy endings?

 

Lynsey's... all her dolls XD I wouldn't say obssessed, but I can certainly say I steal them whenever I can at doll meets and stalk her gallery posts lmao. She realises this XD

I also loved Xi-feng's Kasumi and Charlie's mother's Kasumi so much I recently bought my own ^_^

And also, Belladonna's Tory, which I mentioned before X3

 

Personally, I have never found myself being "obsessed" about someone else's doll, I have been interested, but not actually to the point of obsession...​

 

I wouldnt say I am obsessed but I invariably find myself in love with most of lil aussie Helenes dolls.
I love her Bermann Mori, and I loved her Dolkot Kiss Seven that she sold, and I love Tripp and School (does she still have them? I havent seen them or AGES and I miss 'em!) and her two new boys Corner and Riddle.
How does she come up with these great names and characters????? I take forever to choose a name (though I usually at least have an idea about character before I buy).

Oh and right now I love sistercuervos Angelique (a tanned minisup Yisol) simply because i dont have one yet! ARGH! i think my obsession will ease once i have my own.

Anyways. all the dolls I have bought I fell in love with on my own without seeing other peoples dolls, only the website versions. (sistercuervos Angelique has simply made me squee a lot while i havebeen waiting to get my girl haha)
But yeah - Lahoo - i saw him in Feb 2006 and HAD to have him. I paid for him within a month of seeing him and had him a month later (ah the good ol days of fast reliable DOD). My big Narae I had to wait almost a year before I could order her because I was pretty broke but she was the second doll i HAD TO HAVE and I fell for her originally based on the limited School Girl Narae they used to have.
The Twin B I am getting is the exception. I liked the face but like most DOC dolls I havent been seriously tempted to part money for them (I would LOVE a Bee A one day though...I just dont want the boy) but I went for her during the December event because I HAD To have the Tender Lahoo head.
Lahoo in ANY form is my biggest doll obsession!

 

Obsessed? Yeah but rarely. I usually spend a long time looking at other owner's pics of the same doll to break up the "Want! Want!" haze and convince myself that even if I buy the same doll, he won't look like the one I like (I much prefer originality). In the end it's just "love from afar" type of thing.

 

Well... Reading some of the first few posts in this ancient thread -

... I guess I made a big mistake then. XD
... Since I ordered a Migidoll Ryu because I fell in love with another one.
I purchased the head on impulse - because I was so at the height of desperation and coveting - I REALLY wanted it so badly I had dreams. (-_-) AND migi imposed a deadline.
After a few weeks exhausting yahoo and google and DoA for migidoll ryu pictures, I've seen the hottest and the (excuse me) worse - of its kind...
And I did realize sometime through this that my doll might not be all I've pined for.
Ahhhh well - I bought it with my soul. And I'll learn to love it!
(If I don't right off the bat, that is.)

 

I have two friends who have dolls I ADORE. I like to make things for them.

 

I know 4 people who really love my doll Seath. It quite creeps me out about it, though i'm totally flattered that his so loved! I'm just a generally paranoid person x3

 

I do like some dolls very very much... Kal's Ysrael being one of them, KittyOro's Cal as well! Funnily enough, both are the molds of the dolls i have, but Ysrael is tan and Kieran WS... and i 'met' Ysrael long after i had Kieran. But Cal is the main reason's why i decided to get a SA Saint and not a normal Saint. I still squeek everytime i see a pictue of him >.<.

I don't see how me being obsessed about someone's doll could possibly influence how i feel about my own boys. Kieran is unique because he is a character turned into doll, and Laken, despite buying cos of the mold, is also unique and i love him dearly. I know there are some people who sometimes seem a tat obsessed about Kieran (close friends and some people on dA) and i find it cute , but i'm sure they don't want to have him... i don't know. o_o hopefully not XD

 

Hiritai's Hayden (migi Ryu) oh my god, I am obsessed with that guy.

One of my non-BJD owning friends saw some pictures of him and said:

"I know it's a doll....But damn he's hot"

Oh and Xi-feng's Ilu. He is soooooo cute and I'm actually really excited about meeting him.
I am excited.
About meeting.
A doll.


Gawd.

 

I won't say I'm obsessed but a avid fan and I tend to shower dolls that I like with gifts if I can find something for them and the owner. That's about it tho! I admire some dolls especially if I like the character but *shrugs*

 

I don't really obssess over anyone's dolls.

I'll glance through the gallery and think 'wow, this owner has such creativity i love the photography and the dolls are beautiful' but that's as far as it goes.

Before buying a doll I glance through the Database just to see what the nose and such looks like from different angles. I've never decided on buying a doll from looking at one person's doll.

I have to say though I adore tasu's Sora as he was the doll who got me interested in the hobby~ :'D

 

I think other people have lovely dolls, but I can't say I've ever been obsessed with someone else's dolls or at least not to the point where I have some high expectation when I order the same mold or wishing I had the same thing. @_@

 

I rather say I like to admire other owners' dolls instead of being obsessed with them.

I've been inspired by several doll owners here.

And there are just some doll sculpts I do not particularly care for until I see owner pictures and customizations.

 

Obsession doesn't quite cover it, but I'm quite taken by cinnabar_rose's Renee. We're even, though. As far as I know, she's quite taken with my Elfdoll Red, Asher, who was the first doll she ever held.

Nope, as much as I love Renee, not trading. Sorry. I guess if I'm obsessed with any doll, it's Asher. I guess there's nothing wrong about obsessing over your OWN doll?

 

Bawww yay.

 

I don't think I *obsess* really...but a very dear friend of mine who got me into this hobby owns an OOAK zombie modded Danbi whom I love to bits...I'm constantly in awe of that doll! I've always kinda wanted a Danbi because this particular doll has such a special place in my heart, but I don't want a zombie-modded-replica of him...or even a modded danbi at all. The sculpt just means a great deal to me because of my friend. I think even *trying* to make a doll like him would probably not work out so well... and THAT would be where disappointment could run rampant. It's not about *needing* to own a doll *just*like*that*doll* but more about sentiment.

 

mmm... yes, yes i do obsess over other dolls. I think its cause i dont have my boy yet. I love my friends doll Casey. He is total Love. >< But yes there are a bunch that i obsess over. to many to name ^^;
