What was the first doll you wanted to buy?

The first one I truly wanted was a Minifee Celine, because I planned to use it to shell one of my OCs, but then my plans changed and now I want a totally different doll to shell her.

 

The very first doll I was interested in was RingDoll Grown Illya. He had my heart from the start. The only problem with that is that he's pretty pricey and at the time I was a mega newb to dolls. So it wouldn't have been the best of choices for me. I would have been diving in head first without even knowing the size of this sculpt or anything else about him other than the fact that he was beautiful! So good thing he's super pricey huh?

 

A Dream of Doll Shall when it came out way back in 2000 whatever. At that time I was just admiring from a distance and setting her as my wallpaper.

 

The first BJD I remember ever wanting was DOD Sha, who I thought was perfect. When I came back to the hobby a bit ago, I intended to buy him, but I found out they're out of business, so I never got the chance. I think if I ever see him on the secondhand market and he's not too expensive, I'd probably go for it.

 

The first bjd I ever wanted was a minifee woosoo vampire girl. I still see some with really good faceups on instagram once in awhile and contemplate it for a second... I just think the head shape might be a little too weird?

 

The first doll I wanted was a migidoll ryu. I still have a fondness for the sculpt but wouldn’t buy him now.

 

The first doll I wanted to buy was DOD Ivan. I ended up not buying him due to his being discontinued

 

She wasn't the first doll I bought, but the first doll I could actually see myself buying was Resinsoul Ju. She came home by surprise last month...as my 7th doll overall. She's everything I hoped she would be, and I'm really glad she's here.

 

I nearly bought a Dollzone Wendy way back when, but the first dolls I really wanted to buy (before Wendy) were Peakswoods Wake-up Goldie and DC Alberta.

 

Minifee Chloe, she was the first bjd I had ever seen. I didn't end up ever getting one and now that I've seen so many I dont think I would. I like more unique looking dolls

 

Just a dollfie mini

The first doll I seriously considered buying was a Luts Frey. I still love Luts, but theres a lot of Luts sculpts that I like more than him now.

 

Dream of Doll Ducan. :3

 

Iplehouse Felix... the first time I saw his company photos, I fell in love. I still kind of regret not having him, but I've since kind of moved on. I'm not a fan of the SD size anyhow. But once in a while I go back to his page on the IH website just to admire him!

 

The first one I wanted was a Ringdoll Don. I ended up opting for a much cheaper doll though. I fell more in love with the company photos than I did his sculpt, looking back. I do like the sculpt though. Right now with my current taste, he's not my first choice but I would likely pick him up if I had the chance. I'm a little sad to see that he's sold out now, honestly.

 

My first "almost" was MysticKids Gene, because at 46cm he seemed like the perfect height to spring me into the BJD world. I didn't particularly like his clothes or hair, but I loved the default face-up he had going on and the shape of his eyes and lips + overall proportions of his face.

Anyways, since he was supposed to be my 'first doll' I decided to make sure I was really, truly ready to dive in and...browsed the entire site on where I found him (think it was either Alice's Collections or DollMix). Lo and behold, I arrived right around the time LoongSoul was releasing its newest boy Min Yan and boom, Gene was all but forgotten. (Sorry Gene)

So now I'm expecting a 73.5cm tall monolith to arrive at my doorstep come late autumn/early winter this year. Whew. And I'm not sure if I'll ever get Gene again, because SD-sized dolls have such beautiful wardrobes and I've already accepted an AS Xi Shi into my house...ooh boy.

Gene gets honorable mention for almost making me hit the "Buy" button, tho. I mean, he was in my cart and everything...!

 

not sure what doll it was but i know for sure it was volks!

 

Definitely the first doll I wanted to buy were the Volks' Rozen Maiden dolls. Shinku and Suigintou will forever be out of my reach, but there was more of a realistic chance of getting either Suiseiseki/Souseiseki since they are both the same sculpt. Suiseiseki has been my holy grail for forever and she always will be. I got into the hobby after I got interested and saw her for the first time. I didn't like her stock photo at first because it really wasn't to my taste. It was much too plain. But then I saw she had immense potential with her sculpt when I saw all of the customized photos of her on Flickr and i was floored. I was captivated right then and there. I love everything about her sculpt, from her big childlike eyes to her impish pouty lips. She's the perfect doll! For me that is haha. With all of the issues going on with recasts these days though, and especially with how the Rozen Maiden girls are a popular target for recasters (especially Suiseiseki/Souseiseki), I've pretty much given up on trying to get my hands on my holy grail of the past 8 or so years now. (Thanks a lot) I'm currently saving up for my first doll though, a cute little thing with big, bright eyes and a mouth slightly open with curiousity. I can't wait to bring my first doll home, but I will never forget Suiseiseki!

 

The first doll I wanted to buy was Migidoll Jina. I had everything planned out down to what eyes and wig she'd have and even planned out a few outfits. Then Migidoll said they were discontinuing their Sleeping Miho and I impulse bought him instead and I've been obsessed with Sleeping sculpts ever since.
