What is your biggest fear concerning your dolls?

Gosh, lots of fears concerning these dolls:
Cracks, scratches, chips, yellowing, etc.
Losing them in the mail/Getting them stolen before I get them
Not receiving the doll at all and being out several hundred/thousand
Opening them and finding out the parts are defective
Dogs getting to them somehow (least likely to happen)

My biggest concerns would be house fires and theft. Theft is a big thing I worry about. Most likely someone that doesn't understand the value comes in to steal your stuff and sells it at a really cheap price. That would make me so mad. All that hard work I put into just to afford my dolls would be gone. The police here aren't that helpful either. Most of the dolls I own (which isn't a lot) are discontinued or limited so it would take me a long time to even get the same sculpts again. I doubt my dolls would be the first thing someone steals. I think they would go after the video games and anime figures that are still in their boxes first.

I don't worry about dropping my dolls because I have carried them all day in my arms and nothing has happened to them. I may be a klutz but if I'm carrying my doll, I make sure to pay more attention to how I walk. The worst breakage I've had on a doll was broken fingers which are a pretty easy fix. My first doll tipped over when I was taking a photo of him and he broke one of his fingers. I was more worried about the faceup which turned out to be fine.

I know since I live in California that I should worry about earthquakes but my house has gone through many earthquakes and it seems to be just fine.I myself am terrified of earthquakes but that was because the first time I experienced one was when I was home alone.

 

Downer post...
What happens to them when I'm gone.

Yeah yeah... I know... Dark... But it's dark in my head.

 

Terrified of breaking their fingers or chipping their faces! Well, terrified of dropping them in general aaaah just thinking about it makes me nervous

 

My biggest fear is that I'll take a doll somewhere in public and then forget him/her. Like, just walk off and leave the doll bag behind, and not realize it until it's either impossible to get back (say, if we're on a trip) or when I do get back, someone has taken my doll bag away.

 

I haven't bought my first doll yet, but I'm terrified that when I get her I won't be able to shell my charceter in a way I'm happy with. Aghhh

 

Very scared that one of my dogs would enter the doll room, chew or pee on my dolls and their stuff....

 

I have so many concerns when it comes to the doll. The most that I always pay attention are dirt marks and yellowing. I'm such a clean freak, so I would freak out if I find dirts on my doll.

 

I worry most about my doll's faceup getting chipped or smudged. I'm also not looking forward to yellowing

 

Breaking/any sort of irreparable damage is my biggest concern, especially on any of my limited/discontinued sculpts. Even with theft I'd probably think, 'Well hopefully someone is still enjoying them', and replace them via insurance, but seeing them destroyed would be heartbreaking.

 

Currently I'm living in fear of not getting my dolls ever, 4 of my shipments have frozen tracking and the local postal tracking service has been down for weeks… I have no idea where they might be at!

I also fear my dad finding out the number of dolls I have and getting a lecture on how to spend my money… because those lectures tend to ruin my mood while box opening.

 

What concerns me the most is yellowing. Brrr.. I just hate this feature of resin ;( I keep my dolls in boxes just to prevent it.
Also, I'm terrified about shipping: doll safety, customs, and wheter it would arrive! It always makes me worry soooo much..

 

My worst realistic fear is losing a doll in the mail. A more unrealistic fear that plagues me is having one my dolls vindictively destroyed by someone who is mad at me. I can't really imagine anyone I know actually doing that, but it happened in a dream, and I'm still freaked out.

 

I'm afraid of my doll getting lost in the mail or damaging his faceup. Or breaking beyond repair. Yikes. *shivers*

 

I'm really paranoid about dropping and breaking my doll in any way.

 

My greatest fear is fire, but that's unlikely .. But my most common fear is that my dolls falls and get damaged, while I take them out for photo shots. Several times my nerves are at high gear while I'm trying to balance the doll on everything from rocks to walls, and once I even had her hanging in a flower pot 4 feets of the ground, twiching her hand around the wire, and hoped for the best, while rushing trough a few shots ..

 

I guess this is a strange fear as it can be fixed... I fear my doll will become floppy and loose from moving his arms and sitting him and standing him multiple times.. since i dont know how to re-string yet... ..

 

I have actually yet to GET my first dolly, but that is where my fear comes in. I am SUPER afraid he'll be lost on the way here, or will be much less what i expect and hope for! He cost a pretty penny and i, like most everyone, want him to be exactly what my littlest head wish for xD
but losing him on the way here.. *shudders*

 

My first biggest fear is my family. I bought first doll I was 14 years old, my parent did like that.. but now it doesn't matter

 

I fear that a fire broke out in my house or that somebody come in my house and destroy or stole my dolls. Also, I fear the possibility that one my dolls get possessed by a demon or a ghost that will kill me in the night. I have probably seen too much horror movies !
