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. The first doll I ever wanted was actually one my friend had, the very first doll I ever saw. An old Soom 2011 boy, cloven hooves. Never forgot that doll.. I still try to buy him off her!
       
    2. I remember when I first discovered this world like around 4 or 5 years ago, I believe, one of the first brands I found was Iplehouse, and for some reason I was in love with the EID Roger sculpt. Now, I'm not a huge fan of sculpts like that, but I thought would never find a better doll than him at that time.
       
    3. My first doll I wanted to buy was a DDDy Sasara.... but her price war very hard :( ... my first doll was another (Uzuki Shimamura)... but the second was Sasara <3... I saved all my money to buy her *-*
       
    4. Stereotypical answer here - Soom Sabik.

      Unfortunately by the time I got into the hobby recasts of the sculpt were already commonplace, and I was new enough not to trust my own knowledge on the second hand market.

      Fortunately though a couple of years later Soom opened up the Super Gem and Mecha Angel ordering periods simultaneously... So I was able to acquire my original 'Grail' direct from Soom in two different sizes (though I only bought the SG Head from the SG set, since I wanted to put him on a body with similar proportions to the larger MA body).

      My lone mild regret about that particular order from Soom: It turned up with three very obviously different batches of 'Normal Skin'... The full-doll elf-eared Mecha Angel Sabik was this warm peachy tone, the Super Gem head nearly chewing gum pink... And the jointed hands I'd thrown in, an orangey tone halfway between the other two shades!)
       
    5. The first doll I wanted to buy was a Dream Of Doll Leya... And she was my 3rd doll :D I adore her
       
    6. I first saw a Doll Chateau Kid-Body 12 online and desperately had to have it! He's still in my collection now!
       
    7. I was just mentioning this yesterday on another thread, but Doll Chateau Alan (human ver) full set was the first doll that I ever truly wanted to own, and to this day I still find him sorely tempting. I'm not sure why I keep not buying him (I mean, he's there, and the doll I ordered last month was a tad more expensive than him anyway), but somehow I just can't pull the trigger, since I want to keep my collection extremely small (two SD's and one MSD is my plan). I already have an MSD so I don't want to add another ... but he's just so beautiful ... /weeps.
       
    8. The first BJD I was interested in was Soo from Iplehouse. I did not purchase her and I definitely would not buy her now. My tastes have changed. :sweat
       
    9. I don't remember which one I saw first, so I'll lump them together- Mara from Switch and a YoSD Carter from Dollzone. Unfortunately, I waffled for a few days on Carter, and when I'd finally made up my mind, both him and the head- there were two listings, one for the head+body and one just for the head- were sold. I could just go for the regular Carter... but there was a certain roundness to his face I liked.

      Ah, well. I was gonna shell him as my character Naoly, but I always forget he's got a longer face than I try to draw.

      It did teach me a lesson though- I immediately put Mara on layaway, and I'm just waiting until tomorrow when I get paid so I can put my very first payment down for him.
       
    10. I think the first doll I wanted was a Millefeuille.. But now the one I want is a Zaol Luv <3 I've bought none of them, but want them like crazy~
       
    11. My first love was the foxes of SOOM ! 1/6 doll! They are so cute
       
    12. My very first doll I wanted was Dollzone Hong and I'm happy now that I never got him 'cause he is nothing what I like nowadays haha!
       
    13. dim arno, fell in love at first sight, now i already own him(he was discontinued), lucky me
       
    14. The 1st doll ive wanted to buy was Helen if i remeber she was from dream of doll i think and that was 6 or 7 years ago. At that time i couldnt afford anything i was only 13 or 14 so ive never had and doll but this year i re-discovered my live for this hobby and i fell in love with venitu! Which was also discontinued when i wanted him :( but im glad i managed to get one :D
       
    15. I think the first doll I wanted to buy was Dream of Doll Si. And I did ended buying him 3 years later than was supposed. For some reason at the time when I was trying to order him, the company didn't accept Paypal. The doll was cutest thing ever but I don't have him anymore.
       
    16. My first doll i saw was a lillycat constintine I'm still in love with the sculpt hope to get one in the future .
       
    17. The 1st doll i really wanted to buy was actually a minifee! Cos i see her whenever i google bjd but i started with yosd so i be sticking to 1/6 size so no minifee for me.
       
    18. The really first doll I want to buy was Volks Nana and luckily this little dream have finally came true, I placed an order of Megu in 2013 I believe. I use to buy other doll before Megu but four sisters are still my favorite doll since I recognized BJDs.
       
    19. I was dead set on a LUTS Kid Delf BORY for so long...

      Ultimately I didn't go with her/him because I wanted a more mature look for my dolls.
       
    20. The first doll that I was dead set on was homme ivan from dream of doll. I never did get him, and its sad to know the company has all but disappeared to my knowledge. I ended up finding luts and got a kid delf ani boy as my first instead
