What was Your first Doll?

The doll that originally sucked me into the hobby was a Dollzone Yuu2, and of course, was my first doll. Although I no longer have him, he was a great first doll My taste started to shift to slightly more realistic dolls as I got deeper into the BJD world.

 

My first bjd was a Doll Chateau Faust (on a girl body), she was the first i felt in love with, so i bought her. At the beginning i wasnt sure about buyin her, because DC is kinda expensive and i was scared i couldnt handle such a small and petite doll but she is my FAV now and one of the best things ive evr bought
In total i have 3 DCs in my family, also 3 Doll leaves and very soon a Maskcat and Dollzone !!

 

My first doll was a Dollzone Shoyo..looking back now I was so eager to get a BJD I bought her out of haste. However, she made me see how much I enjoy this hobby and wanted to find a "dream doll" so to speak.

 

Mine was a natural progression of a lifelong love of dolls, and I was always especially attracted to the ones with lots of joints and articulation - when I was nine I drew pictures of my ideal doll and, looking at the pictures now, I was dreaming of ball jointed dolls.... but those weren't around in the 70's (except for porcelain dolls on woodpulp composition ball jointed bodies, which I did a course to learn how to make) so I had to wait until about ten years ago when I was looking at a Sasha Doll website and saw a second hand bjd for sale and asked what it was.

Armed with that minimal knowledge I found a small UK-based doll forum with a BJD section on it and asked questions and went looking for my first BJD. I ended up buying a second hand Luts Chiwoo on E-bay (I didn't like the idea of dealing with a company where their first language wasn't English - in case there were any problems - and I wanted pictures of the actual doll I would be getting, not a generic company photo).

It was the start of a slippery slope - from that one BJD that I thought would be the only one I'd have, I now have fifty of them, ranging in size from RealPuki to Lusion.

i was never a big fan of dolls growing up but i fell in love with bjd when i saw one on deviantart, at the time i was young and so had no money of my own, but my mum and dad where kind and bought me one as a joint birthday/Christmas present, and so i had to find one that was a reasonable price and i ended up getting a Doll-love lincy, who at the time i guess i liked, it was more i wanted a doll and so i got her and immediately things went wrong as the hook on her hand broke and i had to makeshift repair her with a bit of ribbon, i think that moment spoiled her for me, i didn't know that i should have contacted the company for a replacement.
i still have her, only because she was a gift and if i ever wanted to experiment on a doll i can use her as mean as that may sound.
maybe my real problem with her was that she was just to small, as i have found out that i love SD+ size dolls over MSD's.
so the doll that actually got me into the hobby i would say it was my second doll a Dreaming doll mature Judy, as she was the first doll that i had bought myself, even if for half a year she sat naked XD

 

My first doll was a MD Ryu! I actually got interested in the hobby because of my best friend at the time. Also, as an art major, the idea that I could customize a doll for myself sounded like so much fun

 

Resinsoul Long on a Gang body. lol I've wanted him since high school but I only got him recently.

 

I have always liked dolls and collecting them, but usually only the fashion "toy" lines. I also collect vinyl figures, blind bags and other collectibles, like Funko ...ect.

I have liked BJDs for a long time and finally put my first one on layaway through DDE in 2012. I got a 5stardoll Lydia. I don't guess she is a popular sculpt because I have not seen many other owner pictures of her, but I love her.

 

I've never been that much into dolls as a child. I had barbies but I always thought they looked silly and I cut their hair (way too short) xD

My interest in BJDs started in my early teens, but they were way too expensive for me then.

I had forgotten about them for years. At Dutch comic con, there was a stand with BJDs (Think Pink!). This made me completely fall in love with them again.

I started researching BJDs again and joined DOA. The first doll I got was Withdoll Kiara and she is amazing

 

I didn't really do dolls at all until I was 21 and realised that there could be lovely boy dolls at all, let alone ones that I'd like. My first was a Delf Lu-Wen, who came with an additional sleepy vampire head and I fell so embarrassingly in love with 60cm-or-so boys that I immediately got the second head an additional body, so then I straight away had two!

 

I first saw BJDs on Pullip Style, where they also had a Ringdoll section. I was interested, but they seemed too expensive. Then saw more of them while browsing deviantArt; these captured my attention and I learned more about them. The first dolls that got me interested in the BJD hobby were Soom monthly dolls and Dollshe Saints. I purchased a Saint as my first doll, but ended up buying a Soom Amber secondhand while I was waiting for him.

 

My first BJD was a DIM Torudoll Karon. I haven't been able to bring myself to sell him, even if he is bobbleheaded and far too pale. He's just so beautiful.

 

I fell in love with them in around 2003...but they were way too expensive. I got an 60cm Obitsu Gretel in 2006 and a little later I got Bobobie Apollo. I've been hooked ever since.

I have always loved and collected dolls. Started when I was about 3. I was the only girl in the family so everyone bought me dolls.

 

My first doll was a Resinsoul Song. I could say he was an impulse buy since back then, I was desperate for a BJD. Thinking I could just sell the doll if I got bored with it. When he arrived, I fell i love with his serene and versatile sculpt. I especially love his face and elf ears. He's still with me and I would never ever sell him

 

I recently got my first ball jointed doll She's a Hujoo Is. Unfortunately she's in abs plastic rather than resin But I still love her

 

I actually considered getting a Pullip MIO Kit while researching doll stuff! It's amazing how quick those kits sell out; I might try to get one eventually if they ever stay in stock long enough.

My first doll I got last month, a Resinsoul Bei. I also got a Hujoo Nano rabi during Junkyspot's Black Friday sale and they both showed up only a few days apart from each other.

 

My first is was a abs doll but my first resin one is my incoming resinsoul mei. I love the look of her elf ears

 

The first doll I purchase was Ringdoll Diyue but I ended up buying their Dracula while waiting for my boy to come home. So Dracula was basically my first doll and he was gorgeous but unfortunately I had to sell him. Now I collect mostly Soom dolls and I love them all.

 

The first dolls I bought were my Bobobie Sprite and Espree (it was one order, so I'm not sure which one was technically first,) but they were in production for quite awhile, so I had purchased a Doll Leaves Fay from the secondary market in the meantime and she was the first BJD actually in my home. I still usually count the Bobobies as "first" because I owned them in a sense once they were paid for even if they weren't finished yet.

 

My first doll was a DollZone Yuu-2 in tan He's such an expressive doll, I don't take nearly as many photos of him as I should.
