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

That I would never buy other dolls and have just one girl forever. Hey I managed to keep it up for nearly four years..? But yeah, I finally caved..... I'm in trouble.:/

 

'Buying one doll and that's it...'

-1 year and 4 dolls later-

'Whops.'

 

I told myself my first doll would be the only one ^__^;; then I got another. and he came with a free doll...and then I saw another...and another...and now I'm at about 15 XD halp.

 

A boy.

My Shanlings.

TEAM FREE WILL.

"Oh, I just want a girl to sew for." Until I start thinking "Well... I'll be able to sew more if I have a girl and a boy. But just those two. No more." Until I'm at Akon and Larten happens. And then Darren. And Arra. And Evra. "But just my Shanlings. That's it." Until one day I say to myself "Well... it would be kind of neat to have a Castiel. As long as he doesn't cost me more than $350 I guess I could do it and no one would die. But he'll be an only child. I don't need a whole other cast on my hands... I'm not even going to look for Sam and Dean." Until one day I'm cruising the Iplehouse website, and find both. At which point I just threw up my hands and went "Bugger all, that's it, I'm not making any more resolutions! There is obviously no freaking point!" XD

 

lmao yup, did not even understand why you would by a head with no idea of a body to go with it (could understand head this month body next but ... not even having the body picked out?). Has floating head & headless body! From a company that does not sell separates OR work with anything else ... wtf was I thinking??? ... The one floating head that doesn't break my rule is the human/fantasy pair ;p .... Now I hunt for and EID head and a nYID body lol. I may never get the EID head but I think Em's body won't be as hard to come by.... if it wasn't for the full dolls getting in the way

 

For me, it was pretty much getting into the hobby! I told myself I wouldn't do it, but look how that turned out, ahaha! Other than that I've been doing well if staying "on track" with my doll plans. c:

 

That I would never buy anthros.... My 4th is coming soon

 

In the beginning I said that I wouldn't buy a BJD, because it was too expensive and I didn't really have the time or saw the point and my life was full of other things. Well.... That didn't last long xD
Then I said that I wouldn't buy any dolls on impulse, because it's very very bad for my wallet D: ....5 impulses later...
Next was that I wouldn't buy any dolls outside my character-list... 3 dolls outside the character list later...
Right now, I have both a "no more internet purchase this year, at all", which I've sort of failed, once, with something small, and I know I will fail again because I reaaaaaaally need eyes for my new boy, and nobody sold a good pair at the meet I was at today so xD (and he just can't go without eyes for a lot more months, and eyes are pretty cheap too so I figure it's sort of okay... right...? xD)
And also, that I shouldn't buy more dolls until I move and get my own place, so I have more space for them (because my shelf is for real extremely crowded right now >.<) but we'll see. It's tough to find an apartment here, for a decent price, and I'm also a student... So yeah, might fail that one...
And I am really really wanting myself to actually follow my character list, too, because I really want them. They're all picked out and waiting to be bought! *fingers crossed I can keep this one*

 

Buy another doll ha. I give up so much temptation

 

Told myself I wouldn't buy a doll larger than MSD size or smaller than MSD size. Surprise! My first one was a tiny 16 cm BJD and my second, third and fourth will be 63 cm. I also told myself I would only buy one Dollfie Dream, but there are 3 on their way. I guess once you start this hobby, it's easy to go past your limits. To be honest, I never even thought I'd own a doll in the first place. I used to be terrified of dolls and I still am terrified of porcelain dolls and those other creepy dolls. Also, when I first saw the cost of BJD's I was taken aback, but after spending hundreds of euros on anime figures, I don't mind spending large amounts of money anymore if it's spend on something I love. I want to enjoy the money I work for and not save it all for when I'm old. I would surely regret that!

 

After getting my first doll I told myself that I wouldn't buy a second doll until a few years later. I didn't want to get too many dolls too quickly because they're so expensive. But I got my second about six months later... I told myself (again) that I would slow down buying dolls. But I got my third doll a little less than a year later after my second doll and then a fourth doll about three months after my third doll... Then I told myself that I wouldn't get another doll until I graduate. But I've gotten three more dolls since then and I haven't graduated yet... So I gave up, lol. Now I'm just going to get the dolls I want when I want them. Although, I probably won't have the money I need for the next doll I want until I graduate anyway, lol.

Another thing I told myself I wouldn't do is talk about my dolls as if they're real people. That didn't last long, lol. I talk about them all the time as if they have their own feelings, personality, likes, and dislikes. I try not to do that around non-doll people because I'm worried about scaring them. But I did start talking that way around my boyfriend once and kind of creeped him out... I didn't even realize I was doing it until he brought it up. He's used to it now though so I don't have to worry about what I'm saying when I talk about my dolls around him anymore. I still try to sensor myself around other non-doll people though.

One other thing I told myself was that I would only get MSDs and maybe one Yo-SD. I felt that Yo-SDs were a little too tiny to keep up with and that SDs were just too big for me to carry around (I'm rather short and petite). Right now I have three MSDs, two Yo-SDs, one 12cm, and an SD. And the next doll I want is an SD. So I didn't stick to that either, lol. Oh, but my SD is too big for me to carry around... lol!

 

Buy a doll without seeing owner pics. Well, technically I'm not buying the doll, just getting the head in a split ... which is exactly as far as I'm willing to go. But still

 

"I'll never go back to the BJD hobby..."

Welp.

 

1. Buy an SD ("That's way too much doll!")
2. Buy a yo-SD ("That's not enough doll!")
3. Impulse buy.

The last one was a bit of a joke.

 

I swore I'd never get sucked into even thinking about maybe trying to get an entire set of LE's.... UH huh.... Iple's "Carved Heritage" blew that out of the water -_-... Now it all depends on if I like the actual doll and goodies.... as for aford it... uh ya we won't talk about that eh heh

 

I made myself the same promise of nothing smaller than a 1/3 but the first doll I could afford was a 1/4! I also promised I would never try a face-up, I know I can't paint! But when my Volks Maggie lost her default face-up I had no choice! I did better than I thought I would, but it's nowhere near as nice as what she had!

 

I've only just gotten into the hobby, and I swore that I would not spend more than $150 on my first doll, and that I would be getting an MSD.
>.>
So far, I spent three times that on my doll and outfitting her, and she's an SD. However, I got really lucky and I'm glad I had the chance to get my Sakura.

 

I said to my daughter that she`s never gonna have BJD doll, its too expencive...now she have one MSD, i have MSD and YOsd and we share one SD doll

 

I said I would never buy a 70cm doll, and now DoD re-released Black Code no 02 as DOI only. And yes, I will order him.

 

This truly is the hobby that drives home the saying "never say never" ^^ And forces you to learn it and accept it lol
