What is your biggest fear concerning your dolls?

I also don't want to take my doll traveling on a plane for fear that they'll tell me (the TSA, not the dolls) that I can't bring them with me onto the plane. Even though I've heard people having absolutely no problems with their dolls and air travel, I worry I'm going to be that unfortunate one person who has an issue.

 

Bodyblushing coming off. I know it's unavoidable, but I hate the thought, that my beautiful SOOM blushing one day will come off. That's why I rarely use my fantasy parts, and I never take them to meet-ups.

 

I'm actually quite afraid of them being stolen or burned in a fire (irrational fear) or crushed. XD; So many extremes of complete unsalvageable loss. I guess the extremes aside I'm real paranoid of yellowing, and second to that is my Elfdoll Red's faceup (It must be perfect) and just my DiMJen01 mod's head in general. These two are currently my dearest pieces of resin and it would be dreadful to have something happen to them. ;.;

 

Mine is that I'll lose Lyric. I rarely go outside anymore, but I still feel the need to repeatedly check her box daily to make sure she's still with me. <_<;
And also, like others have said, fire. I've been staying at a hotel for months now and they keep sounding off the fire alarm. I mean, seriously. It goes off at least twice a week. But back to the point: since I have that fear and I have to deal with the alarm all the time, I've become amazingly quick at grabbing my belongings and pets and getting the hell out of there. So I guess that helps.

 

my biggest fear would be dropping one and it breaking. I've had that nightmare. I love my bjd's and would be very upset.

 

I suppose my biggest fear would be him getting stolen :S Or one of my evil siblings grabbing him and forcing him to take a bath in oil or something. >.> Yey for irrational fears. -.-

 

My biggest fear is that I'll suddenly get very bored with them, and will have already spent hundreds of dollars.

 

I worry that I'll scratch my doll's faceup with pins while I'm sewing new clothes for her.
My girl does not have any special blushing yet, but when she does have it done, I'm sure that will be even more nerve wracking when it comes to sewing and pins.
I also really worry about her falling from the shelve she usually sits on. None of my kitties can reach her while she's up there, but still.

 

I'd be afraid of them: breaking, being damaged, damaging a faceup, being stolen or being lost. They're just so expensive that it would be awful if any of that happens.

 

I'm terrified that the apartment building might burn to the ground and take my dolls with it. If this guy on the first floor doesn't learn to stop setting his stove and/or oven on fire (their smoke alarm is always going off and the smell of burnt food is always wafting up the stairs), I'm afraid it might happen one day. Although, a far more likely (and common it seems) fear is dropping my doll and breaking his head or some other part of him. At home, he stays over carpet, but like...taking him out, I'm a nervous wreck, especially since taking him out involves carting him down three stories and then back up again once we come home.

 

I didn't know you were that nervous! I can see why, though... all those concrete stairs. You must have been really worried when we were posing him in trees and such.

My fears... well, hard to say until my doll actually gets here. But I am terrified that something is going to happen to my doll in shipping. Like it gets dropped out of a plane or broken in transit. I'm a little worried about face up damage... like if I really like the default... but not so much. I'm sure I can learn to re-do it properly...

I think mostly I'm scared of weird yellowing, or irreversible damage to the doll.

 

I was. I was just...quiet about it so as to not seem like a spazzoid. I have a natural lack of balance, so going down the stairs was the worst. I have fears/horrid fantasies of falling down them even without my doll. It just seems worse when I have him.

And lol, that's why I hovered until I was sure he was stable. @_@

 

Ohhh. X.x well... i'd offer to carry him down the stairs next time...but I don't know if you'd be nervous about that, too

 

One of my biggest fears?
To have a photoshoot and my dolls fall forward on their faces.... this had happen with my, back then, two weeks old first boy... his nose got dented... since then I'm super afraid of this happen again to one of my others (espiacially my Senior Delf Cian.... getting a new head would be very hard to do TT^TT)

and one of my smaller fears: touch them while I have some oils at my hands or getting oil on them and don't notice until the resin is damaged. So I always wash my hands before handle them and let no one touch them when they cream their hands.
Still want to see how the damage through oil is expressed and how long it tooks to damage it....

 

My biggest fear is that my doll with break, stain forever, and turn yellow or green. O.O I freak out over every little hurt like that and clean her almost everyday.

 

I fear of the moment I get my dolls that since I didn't attach automatically that I never will :C

 

my cats. <.<
afraid they'll push my dolls off of nom them D:
also, chipped noses!! nose is one the of the things I consider the most on a doll's face so if it got chipped I'd go insane xD;;;

I am always afraid when I ship dolls to new owner or wait for one that it will get lost in the mail because the lady at the post office told me that parcels and letters that can't be delivered get destroyed. D: I get depressed at the idea of the adorable tiny or expensive limited "dying" ;__;

 

My biggest rational fear..... my Rheia arrived with a small chip out of her ankle right at the seam line on her back calf... I can't tell if it's a crack or simply... part of the mold that didn't get filled? Either way, it makes me nervous as hell that her leg will somehow split right up the seam like an over-cooked hot dog.

I've used some epoxy putty to reinforce it from the inside which should help. When she arrived she was super tightly strung but I loosened it to relieve the tension but I'm scared to tighten her elastics at all so she's super floppy and does not like to sit up straight!

More irrational fears... probably the house catching on fire and destroying everything. In reality... if I lost my dolls it would be horrible yes, but I don't own any limiteds so at least they wouldn't be impossible to replace

 

Sahoma: Wait they destroy unsendable mail where you live O-O
Good heavens they just send mine back to me or where it came from
What a horrible thing to do to precious parcels


My big fear is always chipping and breaking from falls because all of my boys have trouble standing for any period of time. My Limited Code no 2 almost had a bad spill and gave everyone a heart attack when it happened.

I also tend to be really klutzy so I am always afraid I am going to fall and land on my dolls anytime I pick them up

I also fear yellowing in any shape or form

 

If I think about it, I have a lot of fears concerning my dolls - far more than with any other of my hobbies!

1) Theft - I worry someone will find out I have them and then break into the house, steal them, and kill my dog for fun. Plus steal other stuff while they're here, though I don't have much that's worth anything that people could carry off. This is the worst on the list for me because the dolls could indirectly lead to the death of my dog. (I know it's far-fetched, but it's the main reason I don't tell people IRL about my dolls.)
2) Fire/natural disasters - though I'd be devastated by these even if I didn't collect BJDs, so it's not as bad.
3) Face-up damage/fading - I have a lot of limited face-ups and I can't fix them myself.
4) Yellowing - not as bad as face-up damage, but it makes them harder to resell.
5) Chips/breaks - I'm careful with mine, so I don't worry too much about this. This is more preventable than face-up damage or yellowing, so I put it lower on the list.
6) Bad transactions with a company/MP. BJDs take a long time to produce, so it would be difficult to get money back through Paypal since they won't do anything after 45 days.

.... I never realized how frightening collecting BJDs can be. I can think of more fears, but I'll stop here.
