Obsessed with another owner's doll?

Locksley I'm totally agree with you. I adore Unoas. I love SDink's Piper and Haylee, for me they're amazing creatures of amazing artsist. I guess admiration for dolls of another owner pushes us to our own creativity, at least it should push Those wonderful Unoas I've seen at DoA inspire me to surround my Selena [Unoa Sist 1.5] with beauty and style. I started sewing, embroidering, making rooms for her.
Admiring another owner's doll I've got an etalon with what I compare my own doings. I love too see potential in every Unoa mold different people explore, and, yes, I admire the doll, I admire her owner's ability to find out her delicate beauty or soft sharming or strong passion. I see how amazing Unoa can be and I want to deserve a right to own her

 

I have been soooo obsessed with the little DZ FOXES ever since I saw one at a doll meet. Everytime I went to order I was too late ... like the expression always the brides maid, never the bride. Well, I FINALLY bought one, albeit he's 2nd hand...so now my obsession ends.

I'm not OBSESSED. but i do LOVE my friends CP EL...

 

Same here--I am completely in love with Clementine!

I love Shushus in general (but especially Clementine); the sculpt is so lovely and versatile. Can't wait til I get one of my own! I'll have to wait awhile though...I still don't have my dear little Shoyo yet!

 

I'm not obsessed, but I like a lot of different ones.....

 

I was once really obsessed with Frozen Wings' Chiwoo, Sadie... Well, actually I'm kind of in love with all her dolls. Right now I'm having a thing for Shuro - he's gorgeous! lol

But I'd never copy another person's character or doll... Never. I'd be so hurt if someone did that to me. And, anyway, I don't think I'd love him as much as if I had created him myself. There's just something special about the things you make yourself - like dolls and characters. It's like they're a part of you.

 

I am obsessed with another owners dolls about once every 15 mins...the gallery is so good for that sort of thing.

 

So true! God, I love DOA when it comes to owner pictures! It's so nice getting sweapt away by all these beauties

 

yes, quite a few >///<; but i wouldn't copy them, but i'd like to know what mold the doll is...

 

*lists off on fingers*

1) SDink's Heat
2) Zagzagael's Muse
3) Syrinxfox's K'sopphgiel
4) ALL of MadameMauMau's dolls

Hmm... I am sure I am forgetting a large number of others. *L*

 

Interesting question: loving or obsessing on someone else's doll.

I never did until I saw a friend's tanned traveler Bermann. I'm sunk now. I never cared for the doll before but seeing HIM I'm so sunk. I'll never have one, mind, (You think I could swing a 2nd mortgage????) but dayamn!

 

Thankfully, I am not obsessed with anyone's doll^^; I am obsessed with some molds, though... Not personality, stylization, just the molds. Nothing personal

 

There are friends and other peoples dolls (like kawaiimons Kostya, my friend D.Greymans Kari, to many more to name) I love to look at and see pictures of. Seeing the dolls others had, was partly what had help inspire me to get one of my own, my girl Felina. ^_^ I don't regret it at all, it's nice to see a character from my stories I write in a more real form.
And Mitsula is pretty awsome, hard not to get obsessed with Uno. Jk.

 

Wow, how did I miss this thread. I figured I had already post here but here gos!
Every single day I see a doll I fall for. I then research the mold if I have never seen it before. I like to look at default pictures and see if I like the doll. Then I add to my want list. Which is quickly getting insane.LOL I blame lots of people. SDink is one of my biggest enablers. She does such awesome faceups. She makes me add to my list all the time. I am still trying to get a commission with her.
Needoll has a Luna I was dying for and it came up for sale on the marketplace and I couldnt afford her. I still cry when I think about her. Yes, she was that beautiful.
If I could have sold an organ I would have, yes I am sick.
Volks is my new love, I hate them because they have too many cute dolls and I have such little money. I am always amazed at how much talent there is on DOA.
Ditto to Frozen wigs Sadie Love that doll. I can think of easily 20 dolls I'd love to own of other DOA members. I am really sick.

 

Last year around this time, I was obsessing over XBlackxRainbowX's DZ Yuu, Baqir. I stalked every gallery thread and every post she made in the picture request forum with him in it. I love the Yuu sculpt in general, but his faceup was just BAM. SO COOL. That and he was pierced to hell and back which made him doubly cool.
I bought a Yuu head in the marketplace, but when he arrived, he had no faceup. I was excited to be able to begin work on a Yuu of my own, but once I got a faceup on him it just wasn't the same. He didn't have that BAM that Baqir had. I wasn't trying to recreate Baqir's faceup of course... my Yuu was to become an older character of mine, Deemontai. I chose Deemontai as an excuse to give my Yuu a lip piercing.

A few months later, I couldn't believe my eyes when Baqir showed up in the marketplace. I almost fainted when I was actually able to bring him home! He shed his past identity and became my lovely Arlian. Deemontai still hangs out on my shelf, feeling bitter that I spent his "body money" on that other Yuu. Har har. :B

 

kawaiimon's Ophelia is, absolutely to me, the ideal BJD. She's elegant, and classic. I -think- seeing kawaiimon's collection of gorgeous dolls on deviantArt was the final straw in my deciding to get a dollfie of my own. @@

I also LOVE Purplejackdaw's Storm. So gorgeous.

 

PendrithGirl's Latigo. This guy.

Ever since the first time I met her, it's been him that I've adored. I've even said if she ever sells him (and she says she won't), I want first refusal. I spent half of dinner at our last meet holding him. She's an enabler.

 

I don't know about obsessed, but I am a fan of a few certain BJDs. With me, dolls' personalities really reel me in, regardless of what mold they are. Heck, I'm not a big fan of one or two dolls' molds, but with some certain dolls... I don't know. Their personality really brings the whole thing together! I guess it's just something about me, I'm initially attracted by who a person (or BJD) is, not really what they look like: looks aren't everything to me. Personalities are what grab me more than anything!

(I'm not mentioning any names or molds, as I don't want to offend anybody or turn this into a popularity contest. )

 

This is a virtual supermarket of obsess-able dolls. There are many I would love to see in person and of course, I would like to own many as well.

 

I get jealous (I don't know about obsessive) over the DIM MNM's that I had missed out on because I was late to get involved in the forum. I really would have loved to get a Gackt and a Hyde Minimee. I absolutely all the one's that I see on the board and wish that I could have gotten in on the GO. I know that they can be individually ordered but it is very expensive. Especially when you consider the price of two heads to equal one full doll.
I think too the thing that appeals to me is that the Minimee's are limited and in super small quantity. You know the saying: You can't always get what you want... I guess I will have to try my luck in the marketplace!
