Successfully Own Only One?

Heheh, I meant to have just one (honest I did!) I figured they're a bit expensive (ok sometimes prohibitively so) so when am I ever going to get another one? I've had six dolls leave my family and now have a grand total of 8 (with one on the way to make 9), so hopefully that will be it, won't it?....

 

I haven't gotten one yet, I'm only saving, but even looking at the pictures, I cannot just stand sitting at one. Just those little thoughts of the cute photo/photo-stories I could do with more than one would make more than one so much better than only one.

 

I only have one at the moment, but never intended for it to end there! However, I want to be very selective on who joins my one and do a lot of research and shopping before anyone else comes home.

I love to have my dolls interacting and do some photography with them that way. To me, it just makes things more interesting.

 

When I first got my doll, I was like yes, just having him is perfect for me
But now I feel it is lonely only having one doll (because not many msd in my area)@__@
And also when I saw Peaks Wood Punky Beetle, I knew I have to buy him!
I also think it;s cute having 2 dolls T.T

 

I only have one doll. I've had her for about 6 months. I initially intended her to be my only one for at least a year. However I may end up buying another within the next few months. She will always be my favourite though.

 

Hm... I really wasn't planning on getting more than one. Right now my girl is still alone but yesterday I ordered a Supia Rosy - I just couldn't resist that one!
So no, not very successful I guess o.o

 

*Snort* No?
But I actually have to cull my pack now and it's killing me because I love them all . My oldest doll, I believe it was back in 2007, is still the king of them all and is not going anywhere.

 

I'm tempted to write up a contract for myself (though that's probably worth as much as the paper it'll be printed on) saying I will only ever buy one doll. One single doll and no others.

This thread caught my eye because of this 'goal' or maybe thin broth of hope! But as I read the first posts (from over a year ago) I see that so many of these fellow hope bearing members now have signatures containing, often, not one but many dolls! Ack!

Still! I shall attempt this seemingly impossible task.

 

I tried to get a friend for Ashlie but it never worked out. I guess I am not ready to get more than one.

 

I successfully own only one MSD and have no plans to get another in the forseeable future. Now tinies ... they are a different matter, they come in packs

 

I intend to only have one...mainly because I just haven't seen any dolls that have "spoken" to me. When I first saw DOD's E-an, I was in love and I kept that site on my favorites so I could go in and look at her from time to time, toying with the idea of buying her. Over a year later I finally broke and bought her (she'll be here soon!).

So far only E-an and one other has captured my interest, the other being SOOMs Amber...and I would have bought her had I the funds at the time but with no funds and Amber being a sold out limited, I doubt I'll ever get her....which is fine, cause I love E-an!

 

One doll? What's that? I planned last February to buy two dolls, and how many do I have at the moment; 8 dolls and a floating head...and one head without makeup. But I love them all, and when I find a new lovely doll, it seems that I just can't resist the temptation.

 

Another great topic!

I said I'd only buy one on 2003 (Nono/Pureskin). Nothing tickled my fancy again until 2005 (Serendipity Doll/Nightmare Sharmin/LE). Then in 2006-2007 it was like an onslaught of companies came to my attention that were making all these high quality drop dead gorgeous dolls. Next thing you know my little coven has swelled to like 6. Much to my husbands chagrin I bought 4 in one year. After a year of hard contemplation and spreadsheet planning Soom Gena and Namu/ SoulDoll Miryu and Peakswood Cue found their way home. Then in '08 I bought my last- Elfdoll/Rainydoll Standard K...Something about his gaze...Absolutely irresistable. At this point I say 7 is enough. Making clothing for all of them and giving each one attention is a bit of work on my part. So yeah. Right now I say 7 is it. 7 is magic.

But these awesome doll companies keep popping up. And then I spied these little Siamese cat dollies. Dear gods of the heavens and the earth, will I ever be at peace!? I've resisted the urge to buy one of these (despite my Siamese cat obsession)...for now. But who's to say I won't lose my mind and go work for some software company again just for the purpose of putting aside money to buy a few more dolls comfortably.

I don't think its possible to buy just one. It's like trying to eat just one chocolate covered strawberry or only one choco chip cookie when there's a whole sheet of magnificent practically magical cookies sitting in front of you. Eventually ---unless otherwise stopped by finances, another human being or tooth decay--- you will reach for another cookie. Guaranteed.

 

I was originally only going to have two... but then I kept seeing more dolls I loved and making characters for them in my head... now I have a whole bunch planned. I am weak...

 

That was me in November.

I was obviously quite unsuccessful at having only one, or three, and starting with a girl, and at spacing out my purchases, and at limiting myself to only mini size ones (first SD's body is here, head on the way). I love my first, but I find it so much more fun having more for him to interact with. I'm very close to finally ordering that girl, but the rest I've just bought as the opportunity presented itself.

 

Only one so far, but must admit I am searching for others.

 

I'm hoping. My goal is Delf El but I still check other sites out to get familiar with them. However, the idea that I may would like another hasn't gone over my head. If that's the case, the back up plan is small children ones.

However, it's not that simple. I don't just want a doll. I want Daimon, my main character of one of my stories, to be besides me. At first I wanted a doll and picked Daimon because out of all my OCs, he was the best one. He would fit in. However, just like how the story seeped into my mind one day, it seems that Daimon has seeped into 'being perfect' as a BJD. Now it's have evolved to be the reverse in a way. I do want a BJD but at this point, I want Daimon. There are other stories and hundreds of other characters but something is telling me, it's gotta be him...no other way.

Also I feel like there maybe a detachment of other dolls in this case as well. I don't want a BJD to be another BJD but in a sense a character to come alive though the BJD.

 

I’m a guy, when my wife got me interested in them and we started going to meet-ups together I figured I’d go ahead and get one but only one. Well that lasted all of a week and now we are “fighting” over who owns each of our dolls. As for character, we enjoy some of them just as they are while others are unique to our own design and story.

 

I only have one right now. And I'm fine with that. I love him to death, and I can't imagine ever not having him. I have two others that I really want, but I don't know if I'll ever get them. They'd be great to have, but I'd really have to think about getting them. I'm almost afraid I'd love him less. Right now, I take him everywhere, and I focus entirely on him. I'd hate to end up playing favorites, having to choose who to take where, ect. I guess I'll just have to get the money... then decide. xD

EDIT:
The whole 'having one' thing didn't last very long at all. xD
It's been less than 3 months, and I already ordered another...

 

I have only one and I am very happy with her. I am suprised by myself, but I really do not feel the desire to have another one right now.
But, I should probably mention that I've got more than 20 dolls which are not BJD's in additon, so this is probably because I know deep inside that I've reached a limit
