Things about this hobby that you find hilarious?

I can't belive I thought SDs were big- I mean. These are awesome and I 100% think it's sick as heck if anyone who reads this owns one, but they're silly big, they're almost crossing over into mannequin territory!

 

OMG your comment made me look them up and wow! I had never heard of them before! They're so big!

I really want to see one in real life now, and also see how heavy they are.

 

the way modding sounds out of context--I've said some frightening things to friends in public places like "I think I'm going to have to chop her boobs off and start over" and "Her legs need dismembering again...now they're short" Not to mention, the infamous "bits bucket" which contains resin penises off dolls I've modded female, and a couple boobs that were really big on a torso I wanted smooth, that are just floating around in there.

Also, bizarre hybrids--like EID man heads on feeple60 bodies (as bad as expected), tiny blackcherry heads on EIDm bodies. And the classic middle fingers out on jointed hands.

 

I find it funny to read complaints about how hard it is to sew for MSDs. Try sewing clothes for a 4 inch high Real Puki. That'll make sewing for a mini seem much easier.

 

Kinda curious if there are any box opening videos of them. I want to see them standing next to something in human scale too. My niece was once gifted a Barbie that was taller than my SD, I even took a picture of him standing next to her. Everyone was joking that the Barbie was my doll's girlfriend.

Also, one thing I find hilarious is when I'm browsing on TATA's Paradise. The abbreviation and name is funny to me. If someone outside the hobby were to see the name on a tab or in my bookmarks, they'll probably think its some raunchy site.

 

this was me the other day with a friend - told her I didn’t like the nipples on my DD bust so I was going to sand them off - she was both amused and disturbed haha

 

Oh there are!


These are just two of several, coming out of the box they're almost like coming out of a child-sized coffin - they are an experience.

 

Thank you for the playlist, these dolls are really huge!

Yeah, they are. It seems like most people in the videos I've seen so far prefer to have a stand for them cause they slouch due to their weight. Their shoes are huge, everything is huge. Thankyou for sharing the videos, I haven't seen the first one yet so I'll be sure to watch it.

 

Similar to what most people have been posting... doll clothes that cost more than mine lol.

 

Definitely agreed with the pricing of doll clothes...
when I spend less on my own clothing than for my dolls ah

 

It is a little frustrating and funny how my doll clothes are sometimes more expensive than my own. Its like I am their sugar mom

 

Years ago, I can't remember if it was 5 Star Doll or Impledoll, but one of them named one of their tiny dolls Penis. Hilarity and jokes ensued. I think later the doll was renamed to something else, but I can't remember to what.

 

That was Impldoll Colin!

 

OMG yes! At the time I remember kind of wanting one because I like scorpions.

 

No such thing as "One size" fits all even in the BJD world lol.

Also the fact how normal to talk about doll body parts. Usually what draws me to a sculpt: "Oh I love x sculpt because of she has nice boobs/butt, etc etc." I even have one friend that absolutely tolerates my hobby and do body reviews together.

When I go second-hand shopping my dolls being shipped in various boxes that aren't your typical shipping boxes. I literally got one of my dolls unstrung in an organic yogurt box. My family was so confused why I was bringing a box of yogurt upstairs.

And whenever I'm rehoming my dolls it looks like I'm getting ready for their funeral.

Frankenstein-ing (hybrid) my dolls. Playing doll doctor when something goes wrong.

 

Doll nudity causing offence. Non doll people seeing my collection for the first time, people are not good at hiding their initial reaction.

 

So kind of mean spirited but I find this hilarious.

The reactions I get for collecting dolls in general, and then the reactions I get when I fan the flames by telling them how much my hobby costs.

“You spent X on THAT!? You could get three of (insert stuff they care about here)”

“That’s a car payment!”

“You could put your kid through college!”(I don’t have kids)

“That money could go to X(charity/cause they care about, I already donate to charities I care about)

And this is just from family! My hobby is weird/overpriced because it’s not a hobby they have or something they would ever buy. It used to bother me how much they hated my hobby in the past, now I like to egg them on because there’s nothing they can do about it.
