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 to buy was a Resinsoul Ai. I was looking through DenverDoll when I first learned about BJDs and I came across her. I thought she was really cool and I loved how she looked kind of sweet, calm, and like she's in deep thought. I didn't get her because at the time I wanted to get a guy doll and I didn't know I could email the company and ask for a different body. Looking at her now, I would absolutely get her and I'd probably keep her on her default body. The only reason I haven't bought her is because she's an SD and I don't have a character idea for her. But hey if I happen to find her in stock sometime...who knows.
       
    2. The doll that seriously got me into bjds was Doll Chateau's limited tiny Andre. I just thought he was so weird and distinctive and... a little ugly? And I really loved that. The only exposure I'd had to bjds was through my little sister's dollfie which, bless his heart, was probably the most boringly cutesy and typical doll imaginable.

      Since he's limited and sorta hard to find I haven't ended up getting him yet, but he opened the way for me to rediscover DC Carol (who I had seen before but not recognized as a bjd) and Doll Chateau in general. I'm still really new though, so I definitely plan to get him eventually.
       
    3. When I first started looking at BJDs I didn’t really know what I was looking for/at so I only really knew Volks but, oddly enough a Volks sculpt was not one of the dolls I first wanted to buy! Probably because I was beyond confused by the website, LOL!

      After a few years when I came back serious about buying a doll, I knew I was going to go with Luts. At the time I 1000% had my eye on a CP Delf Lu Wen and he was certainly the first doll I wanted to buy. However, I never ended up getting him because by the time I had my money saved for a large order (doll, wigs, clothes, etc), he was gone! I should have paid better attention the ‘limited’ part in his description. :')
       
    4. DoD's Twingkey was the first doll that I wanted to buy. I think it was around 2006~2007 maybe? I was too young then, so I couldn't afford it.. :( It is actually kinda sad that DoD is gone now.
       
    5. The 1st doll I wanted to get was a Limited Edition Bliss from IH. I think it was a Bliss at least? Nope, I did not get her eventually because by the time I really settled and got a doll, she was already sold out a long long time ago~
       
    6. Mine was Dollfie Dream Miku. I collected Miku figures at the time and I thought it would be cool to have a 1/3 scale Miku, but I couldn't justify the price. I never bought her, and I'm glad I didn't, because I am not a big fan of character dolls now and much prefer to make them into my OCs.
       
    7. The first bjd I wanted was a Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku and I didn't get her. If given the chance now, probably not, mainly because I'm trying to shell comic book characters in my dolls.
       
    8. I can't remember if it was a Minifee or Feeple Chloe. I saw her in a Monster High chat group and fell in love. Then I saw the price and noped out of that one real quick:lol:
       
    9. Mine was Delf Shine. I loved his big eyes and black hair. Well, it was like 11-12 years ago when I was first introduced to BJD.
      Now, my style has changed a lot, and no, I didn't take him home :)
       
    10. the first doll i want it's napi carol… carol its super cute
       
    11. The first doll I wanted to buy was Stella Iplehouse.
       
    12. Haha, I went was struck by body as well at first. The first full dolls I ever came across years ago were probably some Volks boys. For years bjds seemed kind of generic mass to me which feels really funny now that I've seen loads of dolls and there's actual variety. But when I was scrolling my way through bjds in curiosity I bumped into DC's msd bodies and got seriously interested. They matched my aesthetics and felt different from the rest. There was also the factor of controversy surrounding their look. I guess I wa drawn to that, too. And yes, I got myself a DC kid body eventually and I like it a lot. It's very beautirul.
       
    13. mirodoll lili, though my plan for her crumbled within a few days of realization so i did not get them ^^;; still I would love to have this sculpt

      the first doll head (alone) that I wanted to buy though was an April Story Eternal Winter in our local bjd markey and I got him (he's a secondhand though but with a beautiful faceup!), he's now the first doll that I consider as I already got him a body ^^
       
    14. Minifee Chloe definitely. I don’t even quite remember where I first saw her, though I remember I had just gotten out of ninth grade and was fartin around on my phone when I saw the company fullset picture of her and fell in love with her face and design and everything really. I went on a mission to find out what she was, and that’s how I got familiar with BJDs. :)
      Unfortunately, I doubt I’ll ever get her fullset, but I can always dream (at least I’ll hopefully be able to get her a la carte one day).
       
    15. The first doll I ever wanted was a Fairyland Minifee Chloe. I didn't end up getting her and I don't like Fairyland sculpts that much anymore, so I don't mind that I didn't.
       
    16. The first doll I ever wanted to buy was a Ringdoll Crystal but something felt off whenever I thought about actually buying him. I later got a MSD anyway and never got Crystal and don't think i ever will.
       
    17. The first doll I fell in love with is Blue fairy's Emily. It was 13 years ago, I was a student and I didn't have enough money at that time. Now I'm working and I have got nearly 50 dolls and I haven't got her yet. I want to buy a Emily and a sleeping Emily as twins but they don't sell the sleeping Emily any more.:(
       
    18. My first doll I wanted to buy was a Minifee Liria and to be honest... I bought her. It was spontaneous and I never regret starting with her.
      Of course I sold her but only to change her skin colour. Now I change her skin colour again. So I started with beautiful white, changed to normal skin and now I will get her in tan.
      I am faithful for her from the first day on.
       
    19. The first doll I really wanted was Iplehouse Eric, there's something about the smirk his sculpt has that's so charming! I still would love to get him, although I really don't have any ideas of his character or even clothing style.
       
    20. The first doll I wanted to buy was a DOD Shall. I didn't get her because she was out of my budget. I'll probably never get her because I don't like SDs size (too big for me).
