My first 60cm doll was a Luts Delf Dreaming El on a Volks SD13 body, they happened to be a resin color match at the time (2006). I still have the body, it's being used by another head, but El is long gone and the character is on his 3rd shell. I actually started with a 70cm doll.
TD Lan Yujin! He is also my first doll, he just got home yesterday Ever since I was looking at dolls before I got him I have always looked at SD sizes, they just appealed to me more
The first doll I bought was a Migi Ell head. The first to arrive was an Island Doll Sparkle head. I got them both hybrided. I still have them both and my collection is mostly SDs with one lone tiny.
My first SD was Dollzone Brant. I still have him and still think he is fabulous (I just haven’t gotten him that new faceup I have promised him).
My first SD was Notdoll Aletheia. She's still one of my favorites. It's too bad the company vanished.
My first BJD was an MSD girl. I thought she was huge back then haha. Now quite recently I received my first SD sized doll which is a dark chocolate Mika from Mirodoll. And shes yuuuuge. They really have a presence don't they.
A 70cm DZ Yuu. And oddly, I never thought of him as being big. Tall, yes, but he actually needed less horizontal shelf/floor space than many of the stuffed animals I owned as a kid, so...
My first SD was the 70cm Spiritdoll Celtis I got four or five years ago. He's quite the big boy and I'd only had 1/4 scale up until that point which made him seem even more huge. It worked out because I ended up loving the size and have gotten a few more SDs since then.
My first was a Lati K that I bought for wayyyy more than they eventually ended up going for like 2-3 years later. I had just fallen in love with the K, L and M sculpts and wanted to own all three (I now do have all three of them, but only one has a body lol). I've realised that over the years, I've really started to prefer SDs. I used to like my little MSDs better though, being sort of afraid of the bigger dolls, and as a result I have something like 6 or 7 MSDs with absolutely no desire for more. My Lati K really got me started learning how to do decent faceups, and sewing, since he came with just one outfit, and I had nothing else to put him in. I also just realised that he was my first real life experience with a BJD as well - my first doll was a Bobobie An, but he took so long to come that I got impatient and bought Ed! He was shipped from a US seller and beat my An by around 4 months!
The first doll I ordered was Crobi's Yeon-Ho. Early the next month I caved and bought the Hui teenager set from Ringdoll. Still waiting for them to arrive
My first SD doll was a head from Switch. I forgot the sculpt... but I sold him because SD size was not for me. I’m still in love with the Switch company.
Ooh, that’s a nice first doll. Switch is so lovely. I’m hoping to get one next year but their ordering system is a little confusing.
My switch Sohwa! When I first got into the hobby and no clue what any of the sizes meant or anything I always ended up making heart eyes at dolls that were SD13 and up so when I found out just how big they really were I really had no room to think about if they were ~too~ big or not cause I clearly had no desire for anything smaller. Thankfully Sohwa is super easy to deal with, I just need more storage space I've found
