Obsessed with another owner's doll?

haha Yeah Taji has been sold some time ago [Taji was on the DoA marketplace for a couple of days and I wrote it in my lj XD], and is now enjoying his shipment to the US. I'm totally 100% sure Lachlana will spoil him like MAD and that he'll be loved by all ^_^

I hope he arrives soon!

I think I became fascinated with the BJD community through a select few dolls I saw in person and later a few just by owner pictures.

However, I can't say I've experienced any real desire to mimic or even own the head mold as the dolls I became infatuated with (except maybe ONCE).

However, that was quickly thrown off by the fact that while I loved the look of the doll, I couldn't see myself owning the doll. I was really aware of the fact it was the special uniqueness of the particular doll that made me like them, but even if I could replicate them (or if the owner sold them), I probably wouldn't (besides the obvious reason of upsetting other owner if I copied them). I collect these dolls because I like seeing something concrete of my own ideas/characters, so while I'll drool from a distance, I'm perfectly happy owning different molds and not even bothering basing what I want/don't want on other people's dolls.

Does that make any sense? I am confusing myself a little too, I think XD.

So not obssessed, but I'm not sure what the word for it is.

And you shouldn't be shot, dollface. Most threads get off topic because there is miscommunication, especially if people read the last few posts and do not check what the original poster exactly meant. It's like telephone, in my opinion. XD

 

I am obsessed with my dolls and my dolls only. I never really fall for anyone else's dolls. I do fall for company doll's in their defualt state. But that is it. Never do I stalk or become obsessed with another member's dolls...even though there are many pretty ones out there. Actually, I am to the point where I won't buy a custom doll on the second hand market. I either want it new from the company or second hand in its full default state. After that I will customize it (or pay my friend too) or keep it default. Uh, I never realised I was so picky!

 

That's sad

I'll admit I have a mild obsession with a certain few dolls (but I won't say who ). I'm not really worried that I'll be disappointed with my boy. I guess it's because I don't expect him to look like those "certain few."

Maybe, if you give him some time, he'll develop his own personality/character?

 

I don't really. I have hotties all of my own to obsess over, even if I *am* the only fangirl of them, thank you very much.

Do try a different face-up. Not like anyone elses, but something that would look unique and special to you.

 

i'm in love with Catdancer's Lucia, and he's on the Marketplace right now... argh...

 

Hmm... ^__^ This one's easy. I fangirl over a lot of dolls. I've got a lot of love to give, and so there are tons of dolls I love or want to squee XD at, upon seeing their gallery posts.
But the ones I'd move mountains to see... that border on rockstar fandoms would be:
milkeye's Eglantine and Godwin Dee miori's Yori and Cepherus frozenwings' Shuro Nezumi's Shura o_O;; lyn_r's sooah Mistula/Joey's Bella bluegirlwish's Laksha chandra's keith darkmothflame's elven chiwoo +++ and am's karanthir

EDIT: I'd write the rest, but end up looking like a DoA doll-stalker... So I'll stop while I'm ahead. *face-palm*

 

I have tons ^_^;; But here are a few of the ones that make me go "Eeeeee!! "
Poots-kin's Merle...I swear that freckly Lishe is the most amazing thing around!!
And then there's Belladonna's Sora & Casper, Morbidollz's Breakaway Rouge (but she sold him ;_; ), Nezumitoo's Fuan & Fanuel and Enki's MiYuki *^o^*
Also, there are also two amazing Saints on the board (I think one is named Toren and the other one Rickter, but I don't know the name of the owners ^_^;; )...

 

Gah! Oph&#233;lie and Madison ~ I'd come and visit you in Canada just to see them in person! ...see I told you I'd miss someone important. >_<;;

 

Psyence's Scaramouche

 

Thanks hun! That's very sweet of you to say!

 

I find my self obsessing over many a member's doll's...but I don't think I'd try to replicate them because...even then they wouldn't be the same. I've tried messing around with my boy to give him a different look, but it just dosn't work. I'll always be obsessed with other's dolls just because they're ideas are far more 'unique' than mine...

just take Morbidollz and Belladonna's boys...they're all incredibly gorgeous but i couldn't get one of my dolls like that... this might make sense to just me, but oh well...

i will always luff my boy even with his girly qualities

 

Not really, I enjoy looking at peoples dolls and sometimes I'm inspired by them, and I try something like they did out on my own dolls. For example, after seeing Brightfires' dolls, I experimented with traditional Asian clothing on my own dolls, because I loved how cute and elegant it look on hers. And now that is one of my favourite looks for them ^_^ But I wouldn't take a Shiwoo and customize it to look exactly like Harumatsu-that would be silly, I don't want Harumatsu, I want my own Vasiley, who also happens to look cute in Japanese clothing ^_^

I think this hobby is all about creating your own thing, perhaps you could look at Uno and exactly point out what it is you like about him? Usually, it's a few things that you can adapt to your own style and prefrences, and then it's still your own doll, while he has some of that which you adored in another doll. Perhaps what you like about Uno isn't that he's a Tsukasa, but that he's(making things up here, I don't know Uno)so cute and punky? Then you could pick out some clothes you like in that style, or search for another doll mold and adapt it more to that style, or get a different face-up for your doll, or try some jewelry or a wig similar to his, but on your own doll, so it's always different..it's more about the 'feel' of the doll you like, than the actual mold/that brand of clothes/those eyes/that wig..at least, it's like that for me ^_^

Good luck, I'm not sure if you have that doll still, because I think this is a pretty old thread? But well, perhaps it helps ^^

*edit* teehee, I was reading the first pages of the thread and noticed I already replied XD sorry XD

 

Oh yes!! And bring the triplets!! Ohh beautiful MiiiiYuuukiiiii!~

 

Hmm...just a thought...but I think it's always a good idea to remember that no matter how much you obsess over a doll, the doll is better off with the owner because in the end, the owner is the one who created his/her character and is likely to be better at portraying said character better than anyone else.

 

*squee* *glomp* XD~~

 

Ican't remember the owners name but their doll is a Moon with Manbrows, Vin is his name and he's hot!

 

I totally side with you, Osaka. Especially that dream part. Well, I find it a little embarrassing dreaming up the character, on my part that is. It drives me insane when I actually try to look for someone just like the dream character. Especially when someone asks you out on a date and you tell them no thanks, believing that they aren't your dream boy. @@ Does that ever happen to anybody else?

However, it sounds like Kismet's well-loved. If his pictures do go up some time, I'm sure he'd get some rabid fans too.
