Obsessed with another owner's doll?

I'm not obsessed, but there are a few really fabulous dolls owned by several different people on this forum that I greatly admire. I'm honestly in awe of the artist/owners' ability to make these dolls so wonderful and unique and I watch for their gallery posts to ooo and ahh over.

 

I really like a friend's Dollfie Dream (Deadlegato's to be exact), mostly because I'll never get one but I think they are so cute... Well, I don't like pictures so much as actually playing with Dollfie Dream. She is so cute!!

 

I'm not sure if "obsess" is the word I'd choose (sort of makes me sound a lil nut-jobby ), but there are dolls & molds that I totally adore. The Tsukasa mold is drool-worthy; it's the mold that caught my eye in the first place. (What a cute nose!!) So the ones that belong to my friends get a lot of attention from me.

Really, there are too many dolls/molds/companies out there for me to keep up with them all. At the moment, I enjoy seeing what other owners of the same doll as mine (as well as the others who've caught my attention) are doing with theirs. Mostly because very few of the "official" pictures do the dolls/molds justice.

This is a really interesting thread, I hope Dollface will forgive me if I throw yet another related question in here, where do you guys see the dolls that you fall so hard for? Is it in the Gallery or other online pics?

As to the original question, Dollface I think this has been said a gadzillion times, but I too am glad you kept your boy, and hope you find a new look for him that you love by changing wigs and eyes.

Personally I have a couple of dolls that I love to see pix, Rushlight's Lilith - who I met and fell for at Japanex last year, such a beautiful girl and a sculpt and size I'd never even considered before that. The other was Lunameth's gorgeous Dollndoll Rumi -Petal, who is just the cutest thing ever! Again I met her at Japanex, and was just blown away with how cute and beautiful she looked <total squeeness> after several months of keeping an eye on the marketplace I found one, and my girl just didn't seem to match up, Petal is full of innocence, my girl Feather - well! You never met such a madam, she just GLARES at me LOL. I admit it took a while to bond properly with her, in the end it just proves to me that they have their own individual personalites and you might as well try to fight the tide than go against them LOL.

Anyhow, just my twopennorth worth

 

I am totally in love with Botflybaby's babies! They are fabulous! I know I could NEVER make a MNF as amazing as they are so I'll just stick t loving the dolls that fall into my arms and making them as awesome as I can make them, and not try t live up to someone else.

 

I'll always be obsessed with Joey's Uno, and I'm developing obsessions for JennyNemesis's and Aernath's men. XD

 

I've definately had a similar experience.

I really love a certain user's guy, and was inspired me to get the same sculpt as my favourite, but I was very disappointed when he arrived, and was actually a little upset - I didn't realise I was more in love with the character than the sculpt, at the time.. ^^;
I decided not to sell him though, and after a while, (and a little work), her own character seemed to jump out at me, and now he's a girl, and one of my favourites lol. I'm still not totally happy, but I put that down to needing a more suitable face-up...

Anyway, it just reminded me of TreeLore's comment, that a little customization can go a long way. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but I wish you more fortune with your next one. ^^

 

I have a few dolls that I stalk, but for the most part I think as much as I love the other doll's aestetic, I'd much rather have my own dolls with their own style. ^.^

 

I love all my dolls, but I just love some other owners dolls. Like just seeing what they did with them, is awesome.
Sometimes its just the clothes and such, but I love it.

I think everyone has that doll owned by someone else that they adore.

 

There's a great deal of dolls around here that give me inspiration, but I don't think I'd push that to obssession.

Aernath's Rat (I think he's darling!), hobbywhelmed's Nigel, Kawaii_Mon's Jesus, Onnawufei's Bob... There's a ton more...

I think, mostly, though, I wouldn't want a copy of them, because it's their characters I like. The worlds that they live in, the personalities they have. I doubt I could replacate that, and I don't think I'd really want to..

 

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed, lol, but Xi-Feng's Ilu is fabulous and the reason why I should never get a Shiwoo, the same goes for Switchfootkatie's Amelie and Liam, if I got Pukis they'd never be as cool as those little guys

I love seeing owner pics, part of why I love this hobby is seeing what other people do with their dolls and the quality and hard work that makes it all worthwhile!

 

Haha Im not sure if obessesion is the right word... HOWEVER, there are users out there who I almost ALWAYS look forward to seeing picture post from them! Hehe. Lotte Rotten, I adore all of her bebes, theyre just so elegant and mind blowing!! Xi-feng is another top owner who I love looking at! So diverse, beautiful shots, beautiful clothing... just pretty awesome over all. Ria_Ria has alot of dolls I wish I could have and they are customized beautifully. Both Mordbid and Bella have beautiful BEAUTIFUL dolls and I always love their stories. Very Cute.

There are a TON of others who I love oogling at, but I think those are the top owners, whos dolls I LOVE looking at. They have personality, a uniqueness to them, have over all appeal from clothes, to their face ups, to personality... really Im so glad that they take photos of their dolls. It makes me happy! And I cant wait to see more of pictures of their dolls and most definately others as well. I am inlove with the Gallery!!!

 

I am totally obsessed with Roweena23 Dolkot doll Loyd (sorry I cannot remember his name) He is a OOAK with his female partner. They are both so beautiful and have the most amazing clothes plus their vampires

 

Yes, some dolls I have been drawn to on this site.

Sometimes to the point of stalking owner's posts to look at their doll more.

Note:: I'm not doing this in a creepy way at all. I'm also not stating names. Some dolls on here are so beautiful, be it the mold, face-up, or their style of clothes.

I may not get that particular doll oneday, but I'm hoping to get more ideas for the dolls I will have in the future.

so yes, I'm and admitted obsessor (sp?)

 

If it were ever said I was obsessed with anyone's doll, it would be Phantasmagoria's Bobobie Erin, Alice. Until I got my own Erin, I could be frequently seen running off with little Alice to coo over her and pose her and and whatnot. If Phantasmagoria couldn't find her little one, she knew where to look *grin* And of course I'd "threaten" to kidnap her and what have you. Now that I have my own tiny little angry vampire, I'm not quite as obsessed with Alice, but I do still love to swipe her just for old time's sake. (Note: Do not try this at home, kids. Phantasmagoria trusts me very much and I trust her...don't go running off with other people's dolls unless they know you're going to do it and trust you'll bring it back, lol!)

 

kei+apples=yes's Starman [aka B.].

simply, oh my.
I am in love!

I've always wanted a Bernard, but he just blew me away.

 

Aaaalll of kawaii_mon's dolls. Especially Phoenix. And Ophelia. And Aleana. And Jesus. And all of the others. She either buys dolls I wanted once, or makes me love them.

And the first doll I ever obsessed over was nek's Neil, still going strong, even though I know what a truly horrible person Beck is.

AND anyone with a school C.

 

Haha I'm obsessed with my friend's 1/6. She's bald as can be and I want to keep buying her wigs.

 

Obsessed not really, but there are some Dolls in my "Dolls" Picture Folder I really adore.

too many for listing all the names
