Things you said you wouldn't do but did anyway.

I was originally against anthro dolls too but I fell in love with Doll Zone's Miss Kitty and Mr. Bunny pair and am currently saving for their heads. I also was against hybrids too but with this pair I'm considering it.

 

Pet dolls. Got a couple. Girls. Own 10-15.

 

Never make a hybrid, now I have so many. XD

 

Sell my dolls and start again. I've done it twice now.

 

Buy more than one.

That lasted... a couple of months, I think? I'd only meant to have one, as a clothing model. Now I have over a dozen, and hardly time at all to make clothes for them.

Buy a YO-scale tiny.

They wouldn't have fit with my Mini family, they'd just look chubby and awkward... and then FairyLand came along with their LittleFees, and they were so incredibly cute! I impulse grabbed one (and a faceplate for another), and they're just so amazing that I've got three more on order now.

Spend more than $200.

...yeah see above.

Make a hybrid, they sound like such a pain.

I don't count genderswap bodies from the same company as hybrids (if I did, I'd have more of those than I do now), but I still have a couple of hybrids and one more floating head that needs a body.

Buy limiteds.

Curse you, Soom, and your amazing fantasy tinies.

Mods.

At least I started lightweight on this, with a simple heat mod to my Bobobie Sprite. Followed by a small additive mod to my first LittleFee. And once I finish off coursework for the semester, I'll likely be jumping in to a massive additive/subtractive mod party on a MiniFee. My only anxiety there isn't how much he cost, but how beautifully sculpted his body is. But I know he'll look even better when I'm done, so forget the nerves I had when I did the first heat mod, I'm going all out now!

At this point, about the only thing left is my "I'm not buying any more SDs" thing, because I didn't bond at all with the one SD I owned. But there's still so many gorgeous ones that I may still try again yet...

 

have more than two dolls on the way

spend over $100 on an outfit

 

This, although for me it was "one" doll... layaways changed that irreversibly... Volks preorders too (what with the year-long waiting times...)

 

I originally said I wouldn't have more than 5. I'm over that now, and with more planned. I said I wasn't interested in Yo-SD or MSD sized dolls, that I probably wouldn't ever get one. But, I now have a Yo-SD-sized girl, and am waiting on a MSD body for my Souldoll Apple head. Guess it just goes to show, never say never?

 

1. Only wanted one doll, but ordered a second doll several months later.
2. Only wanted one or two outfits per doll, but have a ton of outfits now.
3. Only wanted large dolls that would look good together, but got a bunch of odd dolls now...
4. Never spend money on a Tiny doll. Now have tinies.
5. Only buy large dolls and maybe some tinies--but stay out of Minis. Now have minies (although I resisted for many years!)
6. Never buy larger than 60cm because those are too big and won't go with my other dolls. Now have a bunch of 60+ cm dolls, but am still resisting anything 80cm and over!
7. Never buy an outfit over $150. Recently went over that several times...
8. Never spend money traveling to and going to a BJD con because the money is needed for dolls. Now I have too many dolls, so now I'm spending some money going to a few BJD cons.
9. Never buy more than 5 dolls. Then: Never buy more than 10. Then: Never buy more than 20.
10. Stop paying attention to things I think I will never do! That is the only thing that seems to be working for me...

 

Every time I buy a new outfit for either my Aurora or my Peter (both SD size) I always say it's the last one...and then 3 days later I order more DX. It's a vicious cycle lol.

 

2007ish: "Man, I'd NEVER buy a BJD. Those people are nuts to spend that much on a doll! Plus they're kind of creepy."

2013: Owns multiple dolls.

WELP.

 

haha... I literally told myself that I would never ever actually buy one because of how expensive they are :s and now I'm letting my boyfriend buy me a dollchateau head for christmas and already planning the body! I figure it is more like a sculpture than a doll and that I'm really paying for a life-like art piece. at least, that's what I tell myself as I browse the websites...

 

I told myself I would not buy any BJDs. That I didn't need them and all that. But look where that got me....

 

A few things!

1. Never wanted to order more than one doll at a time; that went out the window during one company event where I ordered three!
2. Didn't want to own any anthros; currently I own seven and have more on my wish list. Feel free to point and laugh, folks!
3. Never buy dolls which have bodies that are difficult to shop for; currently I'm a proud owner of three naked, but very uniquely shaped dolls!
4. Props? Who needs them? Not me! *glanced at the rapidly expanding pile of doll props*

 

Oh gosh, yes. I still don't use most of them, but they are so pretty and so cute and I'm a sucker for miniature things, so now I'm completely hooked and want moar.

 

I always said I wouldn't order Teenies or MSDs... now I have four Teenies and two MSDs

I always said I would never order two full dolls at a time, but I've since done it twice (and am about to do it again!)

I always said I wouldn't sell any fantasy parts ever, but I've recently sold some of the ones I knew I'd never use

 

Yep, that's pretty much my story as well! Whenever I'm out shopping now, I'm always on the lookout for more in-scale miniatures for the dolls. It never ends!
