1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

What was the first doll you wanted to buy?

Jul 3, 2014

    1. I would say the first doll that I wanted to buy was a MNF Chloe, but that was when I first discovered the BJD hobby and I didn't know much about different sculpts yet. My interest in her faded over time as I found out about other sculpts.

      The first time that I saw a BJD and felt that soul-crushing punch-in-the-chest "I PHYSICALLY NEED TO OWN THIS DOLL" was when I saw pictures of the MNF Mika fullset. I pined over him for around a year and a half until I finally ended up ordering one A La Carte from Fairyland a few weeks ago. ^_^
       
    2. The first doll I ever really considered buying was Ringdoll Wagashi style-C, I thought she looked so cool in her fullset~!! :whee:
      Later she became my first doll, but I got her in another style~:chibiI still love her to this day and as my first BJD she holds a very special place in my heart.<3
       
    3. The first doll I considered getting was Tong Tong from 5Stardoll, but after more looking I found a doll loved more. I'll probably get Tong Tong someday tho.
       
    4. I think the first doll I seriously considered buying was an Iplehouse Lawrence. This was a few years ago, so obviously it didn't happen, and now I don't have a desire to own him anymore. I still think he's an amazing sculpt, just not right for me!
       
    5. I wanted a Blue Fairy TF Sarang and though I didn't quite get the exact boy I wanted through second hand sales I did end up getting another Blue Fairy TF boy and it just so turned out I REALLY love him :>
       
    6. First doll I actually wanted to buy was an SD man - Asleep Eidolon Xun. I even saved enough money to buy him back in 2010, but processing time terrified me so much, that I bought my #2 doll from wishlist - Bluefairy TF May. I madr that decision, and 10 minutes later - the order was made. xD I don't regret now. All my dolls now are girls, and msd (until around two weeks from now - my SD girls from volks are about to arrive ;) ).
       
    7. The first doll that I ever wanted to buy was a lati yellow many years ago. At the time I couldn't afford to buy a doll so I just looked at owner pictures. Eventually they got boring and I moved on. The first doll I wanted and bought was an iplehouse Lonnie! I love her to pieces.
       
    8. The first doll I really fell in love with is Ringdoll Norman, closely followed by Dollzone Snow. However even though I could buy Norman and he is actually in stock in a shop I regularly stalk (lol) his size just scares me and he won't fit in with the rest of my crew, so I decided I will get Snow instead :)

      @ChuRoarRo i saw paprika for the first time a few days ago and she is just super adorable :D !!
       
    9. First one years ago was DIM Flowne way back when I was in high school and had never heard of bjds. I did get her head sculpt and get a Mirodoll body for her, so she became affordable through that method. She was not my first buy though, I got a Resinsoul Bei before her.
       
    10. I'm really lucky. The first doll that I ever fell for so deeply was the Iplehouse KID Lisa "The Addiction" fullset. I loved it so much, and was so torn between the two versions displayed onsite (normal vs gray skin) that I ended up buying both, eventually. I don't regret it. I look at both of them almost every day and feel so grateful that they came into my life.
       
    11. When I was at university I lusted after Blue Fairy Louis and Olive, I was seriously considering if I could justify spending some of my student loan on them but I always talked myself out of it because it was such a luxury item, so.. unneccisary and SO expensive.

      I never did get one, which is kinda a shame as I still think Louis is adorable and Olive's little anxious face makes me go "d'aaaw". Maybe one day i'll have space and money to blow on such an extravagance, annoyingly I have a very hard time spending money on myself so my first BJD keeps being delayed and delayed and delayed by guilt and irksome practicality. Grrrr
       
    12. I wanted to buy Volks msd ken that I remember, but I bought different one for first doll haha
       
    13. I wanted to get a unoa lusis, but learning that she did not have a great mobility, I didn't get her :p
       
    14. First doll I actually wanted to buy was an IOS Chaos, but I settled with a Doll Surreal Calliope, due to money issues. I don't regret my choice one bit, because after that purchase IOS had their sale and I was able to purchase my future Mister Hyde. And I must confess that I fell deeply in love with my Doll Surreal upon seeing her for the first time.
       
    15. The first doll I remember seeing and loving was DZ Anne (I think? She was like a musician doll with short blue hair, and was released with a similar doll with a long yellow wig?). They took her off the Junkyspot at one point, which was the only place I knew where to get BJDs at the time, so I kinda forgot about her. I rediscovered her recently, but I've been leaning more towards SDs and tinies than MSDs. I don't know that I'll ever get her or find a place for her in my story, but I still think she's gorgeous! :daisy:aheartbea
       
    16. The first doll I wanted was DZ Zo. When I was searching for my first doll, that was the one I gravitated to for two months while debating who to get. However, I finally ended up falling in love with DZ Mo-2 instead and I still have him.
       
    17. When I was a kid, like ten years ago, I really really wanted one from Dream of Doll. I thought they were so pretty and I was just dying to get one. I don't believe there was a particular doll I wanted, I just thought all the sculpts were beautiful.

      I never got one (no money as a kid lol), and my tastes are different after spending a lot more time looking at different companies and sculpts. So instead I prefer Fairyland and Luts a lot more now c:
       
    18. The first doll I really wanted to buy was Doll-Chateau Cyril. And since 2014 I am proud owner of one. Actually he wasn't the first doll what I bought, neither the second or the third... but at least he is finally at home.
       
    19. Volks Suigintou. I managed to bought her but need to let her go to pay some bills. I was in college back then :atremblin
       
    20. iplehouse benny oh my goodness
