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 Your first Doll?

Dec 8, 2012

    1. In a way there were two. The one that got his plane ticket paid for first and then a couple months later I stumble across this other little guy at the local MP and get him home on a whim. The one that got his plane ticket paid for first is a DOD DOT Homme Ducan and he still resides with us to this day and he wont ever leave. The other little guy was a DOD DOC Too and he's no longer with us. His character grew up and I found no new inspiration looking at him so decided to let him go. Recently I have considered getting him home again, though in the tender version instead.

    2. My first doll was a Mystic Kids Chris, right now he is my only doll but my Magical Angel Abby is on her way!
       
    3. My first was Bluefairy TF May in 2008. I graduated high school and with my friend and sister we rewarded ourselves by getting our first bjds. We each ordered a Bluefairy girl: May, Emilie, and Sarang.

      May was very sweet, I got her a beautiful face-up by my favorite Finnish artist jesmoth, and my friend made her a super cute outfit. I didn't really do the research and I only knew a couple of companies back then. Yet I was happy with her for a while, although I soon realized I didn't really care that much for child dolls. I sold her this year and I do not regret it, even though I at first thought it was a little sad to sell the first doll.
       
    4. My first doll was an Angel of Dreams Yu. I loved him to pieces till I started getting sd dolls. Now he just sits there unloved.
       
    5. A Luts Delf Yder to be my Harry Potter. I still own him, and still think he's utterly perfect, even if I don't take him out all the time anymore. Now saying that, I think I'm going to go do a photoshoot or two with him....:3nodding:
       
    6. A Volks SD13 Hiroshima Event Chris. He was with me for 8 years before I sold him. I had stopped playing with him for a long while because of work and didn't want him to be neglected for the rest of his dollie life, he was like my first child.
       
    7. I was looking through to see if I had posted here yet (I seem to remember doing that but it must have just been a similar thread...) and I just had to let you know that your videos played a roll in my decision to buy my RS Long/Gang hybrid (who got home this past Christmas Eve!). Your videos about the Gang body and what to expect with it made things a lot easier, so thanks!
       
    8. Currently awaiting my first to come in the mail :kitty2 she is a Doll Chateau event doll Carol, Alice's Collections was selling her separately

    9. Got my first doll from Soul Doll. He's the smirking Joelle.D I believe.
       
    10. My first BJD will be a second hand Elfdoll Smiling Soah, and I'm leaning towards Calling her Sora because it sounds extremely close to Soah and I like the name Soah lol. Im so excited!
       
    11. Resinsoul Ya; seems to be a popular choice along with Mei. First and only doll, as well ^^;

    12. Leekeworld Edgar! He's a cutie patootie and I still own him :aheartbea would't sell him ever
       
    13. Bluefairy Tiny Fairy Emilie was my first doll ~ I fell really in love with her face sculpt and serene expression. I'm planning to get her a new body, because hers was only single-jointed, but I still just love her face. I want to get one in baked skin someday if I can, she is such a lovely sculpt >w< as far as ordering her, I looked around quite a lot and checked all the different BF dealers. I ended up going with LUTS because of their great customer service reviews. She shipped within a month (with a face-up too!), the service from both LUTS and BF was great.
       
    14. My first doll was a Doll Love May that I named Saoirse, and I bought her secondhand. The girl who sold her to me was super sweet and gave me an outfit, extra wigs and even put her eyes in for me. I am kinda mildly on the lookout for a different body for her, as her current body isn't as mature or curvy as I usually like. Haven't found the right one to replace it yet though so for now she'll stay my little flat chested angel lol.
       
    15. My first and still only doll is an Iplehouse Cherie I won at one of their auctions.
       
    16. Volks Dollfie Dream Mashiro Mito. I still have her and I think this year marks six years of me owning her. :)
       
    17. My first bjd is a Leekeworld Ariana. I bought her almost by accident because I madly fell in love with her sight:love
       
    18. My first BJD home was Doll In Mind Sweet Trisha..she seems to be off topic though, so sneaking her in here <3
       
    19. Mystic Kids Lawrence was my first BJD, its been a crazy ride ever since!
       
    20. Hi everyone! Sorry if there is another thread like this, I couldn't find anything with a quick browsing so decided I would ask.

      What was the first doll you purchased or received that made you interested in the doll hobby?

      My first doll as a collector/hobbyist was a MIO Pullip kit. I bought one because I had always been interested in the fashion doll/BJD hobby but was scared to spend a bunch of money on something that I potentially wouldn't become that interested in. As I grew to enjoy doing face ups and taking pictures of my dolls more, my doll family quickly expanded to more expensive dolls including SD and more.
