Was your first doll a doll you wanted?

When I started I thought MSD size would be perfect for me and I got a Minifee Celine but unfortunately, I didn't bond with her even though I got her a custom face-up and everything. I ended up selling her and saved the money while I searched which doll I'd love. I fell in love with the Feeple60 Carol when she was announced and I took the plunge and I ordered her full-set and whatnot. I regret it a bit, I still love the doll, I like her sculpt, clothes, face, and everything else but the size increase is definitely not for me at all. She's been kept in the box ever since and it's sad ;w;
Later on, I got a pure neemo girl just for fun and I ended up adoring the size and so I decided to order a 1/6 bjd and I'm hoping I finally can enjoy the hobby like I've been wanting for years!

 

I first wanted a Unoa Lusis but they were too expensive at the time, so I bought a second hand Unoa, she's on a regular Unoa body but with an Ange sculpt. She's okay, I had to mod her eyes before I started to like her.

 

I went with less expensive to start, though I really do like the sculpt of my first doll. I started off with cheaper Hujoo OTs as my soft intro before deciding to finally get my first resin doll from ResinSoul. He was certainly not my first pick but for a teenager the almost $700 dolls I wanted most was out of the question. I decided to shell one of my favorite OCs at the time and the one I got was a perfect fit at the time. Honestly if he wasn't my first I still might have ended up picking him up at some point.

 

Yeah. It was... I thought he is my grail. Than bonding issues happend... so I sold him.

 

I wanted a 60cm doll and fell in love with Shall but I couldn't afford a doll that price. I was looking for another one and fell in love with dragon doll yin ying so yes, she was the way I wanted . But now, i think that if i have known much doll compagnie i would take an iplehouse JID (maybe Amy )

 

I bought my first doll for an art project and was very unfamiliar with wait times for ordering a doll brand new, so I had to quickly purchase a used doll to be able to finish my project in time. I did so much research on the first doll I purchased from the company and knew absolutely nothing about the pre owned doll that I actually received as my first doll. As it turns out, I absolutely love my pre owned doll! He's perfect! when I received the new doll I had ordered I... was not as impressed. She was a good way to find out girl dolls aren't for me

 

No.. First doll what I want was pukipuki. I was young, and my mother did not let me buy so expensive. I find felix brownie mia, and it was cute, cheap and got it second hand from Finland. So my mom let my buy it

 

No... The first doll I really wanted was a DoD Ducan Rip in peace Dream of Doll. Gone but never forgotten.

 

My first doll is imda2.6. I fall in love with him the first time I saw him, then I just got it

 

I started "getting into the hobby" by buying pullip dolls. I know they aren't bjds, but I was 10 and thought differently. $100 is a lot of money, especially for a 10 year old so it was a big investment for me at the time. I still love the dolls, and I do not regret getting them but I do wonder what if I had saved that money to get an actual bjd? I have 3 of them so I've spent around $375 on them and that would be a good portion of the bjd I am saving up for. Because of this, I thought about getting a cheaper doll to start, but instead I am now saving up for the doll I really want.

 

My first doll was definitely a doll I wanted! So much so that I still have her to this day. It wasn't until I saw a Pipos Baha that I fully committed to the hobby. I had been looking at dolls for about two years prior, but never splurged on a doll because I was still in high school so I didn't have the money to buy one at that time. When I first saw a Baha, I figured out the sculpt as quickly as I could from photographs that were posted on deviantArt and ordered one shortly after!

 

My first doll was a doll that I wanted. I wasn't sure which one should be the first one, but I got the opportunity to get her and 10 years later I have no regrets.

 

The first doll I wanted was a Fairyland Lishe. I couldn't decide between the PukiFee, LittleFee, or MiniFee. Eventually I got a blank Pipos Cheshire and he is fun. I learned that he is just way too small for me. He has been in his box for a while now and I haven't missed him so I really need to sell him to someone who would want him and love him.

 

Yes, he's my favorite doll, and he still is. I don't think I'll ever sell him.

 

Yes. My first doll was a Luts Kid Delf Bory. I looked at various sculpts when I first started this hobby and I knew he was the one I wanted

 

Hatsune miku!!! I wanted her to be my only one but I couldn’t stop buying them lol

 

My first doll was not THE doll I wanted at the time (which I think was a Luts Kiwi). But she popped up for sale and I really wanted her so impulse buy for me. I think it worked out better for me in the end
I did opt for a cheap doll body because I wasn't sure how much money I wanted to spend on the hobby.

 

The first doll I bought was the one I really wanted. I wanted a Little Monica doll so much for about 4 years before actually taking the plunge after saving up for a long time. He was pricy but I’m glad I didn’t cheap out because I believe it’s much more worth it to own something I will continue to like for many years to come

 

Yes and no. The type of doll was a type I wanted but I kinda let my partner pressure me into the head sculpt he likes the most instead of the one I really liked. I ended up getting the one that was perfect for me and I do still love the first doll it just wasn’t as magical as it could have been

 

at the time yes, but after i got it i realized there was others I wanted. patience isn't my strong suit but I should've waited till I discovered other bjds I might want.

my first doll still holds a special place in my heart though
