One doll is good enough!....or Is it?

awe. jajA!
I don't even have my first one yet, but from my other doll collections I just know I won't get just one. XD
Maybe two.
=p

 

first i thought yes one is enough for the first time but half a year later i bought my second one and i am planing my third one as well. maybe i'll get him for Xmas present XD

i think i got addicted in a short time

 

No way... they are just way too addictive!! I always knew I would have to have more than 1--but I didn't know I'd end up with 3+ ... ;-;

 

Well currently I have four with two more on the way. I had five for a while but sold one. I am liking the current composition I have (including the two I'm waiting for) and even though new dolls keep getting released that I am tempted by (curse you Soom!) I look at my dolly family and I'm content So it seems that even though I thought I could live with just one and wound up being wrong five times over, the truth is the need for more dolls DOES actually stop somewhere (at least for me!) However, I would like to keep upgrading the dolls I do have for example, like getting a Souldoll Zenith Agnetha to replace my Souldoll Double Ignis. My collection changed when I first started as I learned what my own preferences and tastes were.

And like everyone, I started off thinking I could have just one. I think the misconception comes in where you can switch out clothes and wigs and have a whole other doll. When I got my first doll I got one with ears that could either be replaced with human or elf ears. That way I could switch them out and have her be a human or elf character. Unfortunately I realized that because I tried to force her to be both at once she fell somewhere in between and worked out for neither character! So I sold her and bought two to replace her--one human and one elf!

It's just the nature of an artistic hobby. That's like a painter saying they can live with just one paintbrush.

 

They are like Lay's Potato Chips. No one can have just ONE!

 

I never told myself, "only one" even when i first saw them (and the price)
my mind's been set for two, my two boys... even after i learned that to get them in a close to perfect size ratio with each other and their human counterparts (5'7" to 60 cm, & 6'4" to 70 cm)
However.... while doing my research i've found so many pretty little people.... the sad thing is i don't even have my first or second and i'm planning my third, let alone my fourth and fifth!!

 

** just realized i cut off in the middle of my sentence... Sorry!

even after i learned that to get them in a close to perfect size ratio with each other and their human counterparts was going to cost quite a hunk of money. i still wanted two, one just didnt seem like it'd cut it in my mind. they need friends.

 

I never told my self one is enough since my second doll came only 1 month after I buy my first doll ^^; but... I'm planning not having more than 10 full doll (floating head is an okay maybe?) (_ _)~ since my room isn't enough for all of them =A=' *breaking a sweat*

 

Sometime ago, someone told me that once I start with one doll, I just might get another. I said maybe not because he already costs a lot. However, here comes another doll who just might be the perfect brother/sister/best friend for the doll....oh well..^^

 

Ahem. I said the very same thing when I bought my Kyouko. About a month or so, afterward, I ordered her boyfriend, Adelwyrchiad. (He's home, now, and currently cuddling with Kyouko.) Now, I'm currently part of the muscular girl group order, and I've already got at least two other dolls, both boys, I need to save up for. And, of course, I've been looking around for the "perfect" head for the muscular girl body. And since the muscular girl body is going to eventually be the representation of my Goddess, and of, course, it's no fair if the Lady gets a doll while the Lord, doesn't, I know I'm going to have to be on the lookout for another male doll that would be perfect for the role. And I know I want at least another female doll, to be the mate of one of the boy dolls I'm saving up for... Yeah, I know. It didn't take me very long, at all, before I broke down.

My conclusion: BJD's are like potato chips. No matter what you think, you're not going to have "just one."

... And the person who manages to pull off having just one and only one has a level of willpower beyond human, and I utterly respect her.

 

I've always planned on just having one and so far, about three months into owning BJDs I'm still at just one. I have shopped for dolls and just haven't found any that are as perfect to me as she is. There are a couple that I really like but all are limiteds and are sold out so I'm safe XD. While there is the tiniest chance I might get her a boyfriend, I'd really rather not.

 

I definitely thought one would be enough for me back in 2008, and for a while it was, but then I visited Soom's site in December of 2010. I really need to avoid that site.

Now I'm waiting for two dolls and a body to get here.

 

After a year of having a doll without a body and a year with his body, I'm starting to save up for another doll but now I'm kind of iffy of a new doll since I'm used to lugging (with love) around one doll. Now crazy questions pops up like 'will both of them sleep in the bed?' 'How much am I going to play with her versus how much I play with my first and both of them together? Is she going to be an impulse buy where I just look at her?' 'OMG, that means I'm going to have to find a bigger bag to stuff two dolls in!'

So now I'm starting to second guess myself but at the same time still want someone to be a friend to my first doll. Oh the indecisiveness.

 

Haha... at one point I only wanted one girl. For a while, actually, and then... the thought crossed my mind that it would be cute to have a couple dolls, all bundled up in one extra-long scarf. I also realized that with the way Eloise's personality was shaping, she'd never be able to wear the super-cutesey clothes I love so. And then I wanted two xD I'm not sure if I'll want more. I probably will, but for now my planned "family" feels complete, and I don't want to get any dolls that don't match them and I don't want to get any that extend the family, because I think they're an adorable little couple xP so for now it's just two. Later on, who knows XD

 

I wish that were true...I can't seem to stay out of the 8-10ish range. There's too many great dolls out there, I just don't seem to be satisfied without being a bit of a resin glutton.

 

I had a system x.x I knew I wouldn't stop at one doll, I wasn't going to kid myself. But I had a list of five, and only five, that I would allow myself to buy. Now I have three dolls and two floating heads which I'm looking for bodies for, and only ONE of those was on my original list. And I still plan on buying the list. Heck, looking at apartments today, every time the lady showed me a huge closet or extra space I was like 'Oh! I can fit at least TEN dolls there!' In my head of course ^^;;

 

Apparently each one of my dolls insist they must have a significant other! >>;
Why me?

 

I know that I won't stick with one doll but at least two, a boy and a girl. I will buy my second doll soon and will be happy just with two dolls only.

I might buy another doll but not for the next 2 years

 

I never thought for a second I only wanted one. Just personally I was more comfortable with the idea of a collection than simply owning a single doll, and I didn't want just the one character to be shelled.

I didn't expect the collection to grow THIS fast but I always expected it to grow. I'm slowing down quite a bit, but I expect to have another rush of acquisitions when I have the resources for it.

 

I got my first BJD from JunkySpot right after Christmas, and thus far, this is the most enjoyable hobby I've ever had. I've loved the customization aspect of it, from doing face ups and body blushing to using my oft-neglected sewing skills. I've ever started to learn to sew leather, so my lady can have some leather armor. It's super fun!

Basically what I'm saying here is that I'm hooked, and that soom owns my soul.
