What dolls have you bought as a direct result of DoA??

None so far, but I just joined! Give me time!! lol

 

KALIX!!! The gray skin with goth faceup and glitter...I LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE! Unfortunatly I found him to late and can't purchase him, excpet the ones I find in the marketplace that are either blank or custom. I guess the only other was a Nanuri '07 vamp head. I saw the faceup on him and I just needed him, put him on hold and that Friday bought him(he was in the marketplace so that was no biggie)

 

Harin, for sure. From the website, all I could see was "Asian" when I looked at her, but I went through the database and saw that she was quite versatile. :3 So now I'm a proud owner of a Dreaming Harin, many thanks to Abel and ShaylaMyst for their help in that!

 

Ditto! Same here!

But I've discovered the work of a fellow DoA'er and I would like her to take care of my girls. ^_^

 

I would DEFINATELY say that I would have never taken an interest in Volks, had I not seen owner pictures here on DoA.

 

If I didnt have DOA I wouldnt have found all the numerous BJD companies. I have my Delphine because of the News section. I found my AiL Alice because of owner pictures. My love of Volks Liz grew and I purchased her from the fabulous Jay here on the market place. Now I am on the search for Luna. I love being able to see owner pictures, not all dolls look the same in RL as they do on the website. It has saved me from buying dolls I would have ended up selling. Oh, I forgot one my soon to be Lestat from a Minimee Go

 

I would have to say the most direct would have been my Angell-Studio Gus in WS. I had put up a thread asking for suggestions as I was looking for a doll to fit my little boy Prince and was having difficulties locating his sculpt. I had looked at Gus before but was never very attracted to him with his pinky or yellow resin. Someone suggested I give him a second glance however, and when I saw him in white resin wearing THE most perfect outfit for Prince I was absolutely smitten! Of course since then my Gus has had the hell modded out of his face, but I still think he is absolutely adorable and would never considered him otherwise!

On a less obvious note, my DoD Ivan was bought directly because of DoA as I bought him second hand and not from the website. However, I knew no matter what I HAD to have an Ivan so even if I hadn't found one on DoA I still would have eventually bit the bullet and ordered him new. And lastly, I somewhat consider my Little Monica Kliff a result from DoA since the company is still somewhat new on and not on alot of major doll lists that I check out, the only reason I found out about it was threw the announcement threads here. But once again, the character my Kliff is modeled after, I knew that character would have most definately made it home to me, so whether in Kliff form or not (thank goodness he is though! It's perfect!), it's not as though I now have an extra, unplanned doll.

 

I just made payment on a Tender Too and Tender Bee A, I never liked these dolls on DOD, thought they looked horribly smug, and hated the DOD body but the newer bodies have come a long way and looking at a few on here I slowly fell in love. I am thrilled to bring them home.

On top of that I impulse bought a Shiwoo Elf MNF boy, he ended up being my birthday present from my partner, but I had never planned on him, the second I saw an untouched boy and the excellent price I HAD to have him though, and he is now one of my favourites and has me sold on minis (he was my first...10 dolls came before him)

 

I haven't gotten her yet, because they are not taking orders, but I love the Supia dreaming Roda. I'm not sure if I would have seen her. I was leaning towards Limwa before seeing her here on DOA. The gallery definitely helps you see the dolls in a different way. I'm new, Love DOA!

 

Pretty much all of the dolls after my first two. Without DoA I wouldn't know about most of the doll companies...which would be unfortunate because I wouldn't have my boys, but cheaper. So much cheaper, haha.

 

After my first, I'm pretty sure almost every doll purchase will be a result of DoA.
Not only because of all the beautiful owner pictures, showing different sculpts in a new light but also like Tsukidoll said, if I never joined DoA I wouldn't have known about numerous BJD companies in the first place.

 

Most, if not all. My process is usually seeing a doll I love, finding out which mold it is and then investigate (search for more owner pics, check out the company pics, etc.). It turns out I have a rather expensive taste, so many times I end up finding out that the mold I fell for is limited/ discontinued/ hard to get/ just plain expensive XD.
But yeah. I never bought a doll directly from the company, and I never decided to buy a doll solely from company pictures. I always have to see owner pics before buying- and they're usually the ones that really do it for me (I'm not a big fan of defaults).

 

As soon as I came here & saw all the beautiful doll faces I wanted to paint one. I paint with acrylics on canvas so it wasn't too difficult but it is definately different painting on a smooth curved surface. Reminds me of years ago when I painted ceramics.

 

Soom IO!! After seeing some beautiful owner pics of him [especially box-openings ] I just had to go snag a head on the marketplace. ^-^

 

-.- Everything I know is direct result of DOA *bows to DOA*

 

shushu eeeeep and then maybe a few more msds *hehehe*

 

All but my first one, who was from a friend. Then I liked what I saw on a GO she was in for a Minimee head, and then of course I had to find a body, and... So, yes, lots of homework on DOA, sorting out which body would fit a head I fell in love with on its own, trying to work out faceup styles, trying to find clothes and shoes so I could experiment with styles. Yay for owner pix who help you sort out what you're doing!

 

My floating Ryushin head. I wasn't planning on buying a doll at all, actually, and I never thought I'd get him because he was an event head. Well, I got access to the marketplace and now I have his pretty little head at my house waiting for a body.
The marketplace and gallery in general just have a nasty tendency of feeding my addiction.

 

I have bought all my dolls on DOA and have been wonderfully in love with my Mika Myu and dollfie dream....they are all very pretty dolls.

 

Hrmm, not directly. Someone posted a pic of their doll on deviant art, and it was a blue fairy may. I went to the site and found Sarang, then found DOA. However, I did find Fairyland through DOA, and I have four FL dolls, so maybe? But no one's specific doll influenced me.

But really, as others have said, everything I know about BJDs... I learned it all here! Thanks all! O__O
