What is your biggest fear concerning your dolls?

My biggest fear still is a doll falling and having visible damage afterwards. Also, my cat loves to chew on anything; I keep my dolls as far away as possible for him, but still I'm afraid that he somehow gets to one of their hands and start chewing fingers off.

 

I'm terrified that someone will break/damage her and then refuse to pay to have her fixed (I would have no idea what to do in that situation)
I'm also really scared that my cats will hurt her or that I (because I'm super accident prone) will trip and break her or mess up her faceup or that I'll pick her up and not notice that I have a cut on my hand (or paint/charcoal/oil) and stain her resin
....or that my mom will let my cat sit on her box! she's done that to my anime figurines before and completely crushed the box with the figurine inside

 

hngg im afraid that his skin my yellow soon, although im not using any flash if taking a picture and im not fond of going out always to have a pictorial. tho that really bothers me and if i buy a new head the skin wont match

 

1. I suddenly die or am incapacitated and they get thrown away or sold to people who don't care about them or know what they are.

2. They get crushed in an earthquake.

3. They get burned in a fire.

That's about it. Short of the above, I don't worry.

 

My biggest fear for my doll is they have any damage or face up being destroyed. x.x

 

My biggest fear is my apartment catching on fire while I'm at work. Not only would my dolls be damaged/destroyed but I have a cat at home too, who I would be devastated to lose. Apartments are tricky. You live with people in the same building and their actions can affect your stuff without you even knowing them.

 

Having something happen to my dolls' faces would be the most upsetting. Not the faceup, but if the resin broke and destroyed their facial features. I have an Amber and I'm terrified to take her anywhere because of her huge ears. I tend to shy away from limited dolls in general, since I always like to have the thought of "It everything gets destroyed, I can always replace it."

 

Smokers... -eyeroll- Natural disaster is probably my main thing too. I hate to think that a fire could happen in my house, but it can happen to anyone... and if it does... idk how I'm supposed to get my cockatiel out... maybe catch him in the laundry basket and throw the lid on real quick. ....It'd be much easier to save the dolls XD cruel, but true..

 

For sculpts I don't have that much sentimental value over the character shell itself, it wouldn't be the end of the world if something terrible did happen to them. It'll suck but at the end of the day repairs can be made, or if I must I can eventually reshell those characters into new forms.
The sculpts I do have a lot of sentimental value over? Ugh....I'm afraid of everything! The main ones are natural disasters (fires and tornadoes mostly, though one year we did have that land hurricane. o.o) and theft. My first doll especially; I have this worry of something being "off" if I had to replace him. (In Stewie's voice) I don't like change!!! :P

I'm also afraid that the wall-mounted shelf that most of my dolls are sitting/standing on will collapse....and come crashing right on top of my Wacom Cintiq. I will feel a whole lot of hurt if that happens. In more ways than one.

 

My greatest fears are that the faceup will get damaged or that they will fall over and get chipped somehow. I don't have the ability to fix them myself and I don't like the idea of sending them too far away to get them fixed.

 

Damage to their faces. I don't know how to do face ups to repair them

 

Losing a doll in transit would be terrible.

But my biggest fear is having my doll broken, specially the head or some especial fantasy part. You can easily fix a broken leg or cracker torso, but a broken head? Impossible :/

 

Damage to a doll's face is my worst fear

 

This. Pretty much. I'm not in an apartment (for now), but the simple thought of something like this happening, I know that the first thing I'll save is my cat, but all the dolls D= (and my computer if I can get to it)

 

I'm afraid that one day I might change and decide to abandon/sell my dolls... I hope it never happens.

 

Yup. Same here. Two cats, three rats, and a whole pile of dolls. Cats are absolutely the first priority. Rats I could prolly throw in a pillowcase and knot the top and they'd be okay for a little bit (if there wasn't time to get them in the travel cage). If I could get to the back porch I'd just throw the dolls into the grass (I'm on the second floor) - I can get faceups redone, or repair any scratches/breaks...it's better than being completely destroyed. But if I wasn't at home... Totally my biggest fear in life in general, not just doll specific.

 

Doll specific?


I worry about spending on something and having the company tank. A friend and I received our orders only a few weeks before Ndoll went radio silent. Grateful we got our orders but always sad for others. I've leaned more toward ordering through well known dealers when I can now.

As for cracking and chipping, I worry I'll do something I can't fix. I feel a little dumb but after trying to sleep off heavy meds I stood up and forgot my pipos girl was with me, ended up with her falling a few feet later and loosing the top of an ear. I've since reconnected it as cleanly as possible with apoxy, but her face-up has a little line through it at the ear now. It's the only not-my-work face-up I have because I'm rather fond of Pipos work. >.<
At least I'll always be able to point out the one that's mine.

 

I always worry about them while I'm on vacation...

That's the problem with southern California. The only "consistent" natural disaster we have is entirely inconsistent: earthquakes (well, we also seem to set on fire every fall, but I don't live near those places with lots of brush). And we've been due for "the big one" for like... ten years?

Losing dolls in the mail also scares me.

 

I guess my biggest fear is either them getting stolen,

Or me having to evacuate for some reason and them getting left behind, ruined, stolen, etc.

That's the price I pay for getting so attached to material objects, though. Always the risk of something happening to them.

 

I'm afraid that one day i'll have to live with my mother again. You know, old peolpe are not a cup of honey. But my mother is really stubborn creature. Iron lady. There are many things that are forbidden in her understanding of my life (steel boots, bows, hitch hiking, resin dolls). I'm afraid that one day (many-many years from now) she'll find all those material 'forbidden' things and through away on the nearest scrapyard.
