Which of your family members are into BJDs?

My sister is actually the one to introduce me to BJDs. She has three, I believe, all girls. I tend to like the boys more, but I don't have any yet. But we shall see what happens!

As for the rest of my family, my mom thinks they are too expensive and so does my boyfriend. -.-

 

No one is my family is in too them. They think they are a waste of time. I have two friend into them and one who has one. (YuffieK)

 

My kids are just as crazy about them as I am and each have one of their own. My husband has always supported all my hobbies but never showed interest in owning one until recently when I received Unidoll Jace. That doll is now his and he is in love with the new Uni-Real 2.

 

My mom loves BJDs. She has two of her own (and I'm bugging her to get a third ^o^) Even though I mostly take care of them. Nobody else in my family really likes them, my dad and brother tolerate them. My dad thinks they are cute and he has his favorites and favorite outfits

 

My older sister is on this board already. She collects only bigger dolls where as I only collect MSD size and smaller. We do have another sibling who collects and customizes 1/6 scale dolls like Obitsu and Volks but is not into ABJDs though.

 

wel none of my family are in to them but my friends are and thats good enouf for me

My mother has always loved dolls so when I started bringing my Crew over to meet her, she showed a slight interest in them.

She doll-sat my Nasake when Shuichi, Chikara and Hatori went with us to the 2006 yaoicon. I only had four at the time.

Then I took her to a few meetups and the ones she liked were the most expensive ones, like EternalSerenity's Unoa Lusis, Royal. She found she also liked the smaller ones best, so I was finally able to pin her down on a choice.

Xmas 2006, I gave her a Orientdoll So vampire Ji version 2 and she loves her!

She is now interested in getting the other four OD vampires because they are so cute.

Oh yeah, her husband tolerates them enough to hold one of mine if needed.

My husband loves my Chikara and likes to carry him around. He also helps carry all the doll bags to meetups!

I recently purchased a well-endowed Dollfie Plus for my husband, who plans on turning her into Tifa Lockheart from Final Fantasy VII. Eventually, he will be convinced to get a large doll to represent her...

 

My Mom has several of her own and my Grandmother even has two, so the men in my family spend a lot of time scratching their heads and wondering if we've lost our collective minds.

 

My sister's into BJDs as well. We're saving up right now to split a Too and Bee-a set. None of my other friends or family are really into these dolls though... Most of my friends do enjoy looking at the dolls I show them though, and my parents listen when I talk about them.

 

My twin sister!

Fraternal not Identical although we look the same...

In the past, she would complain about how I wanted to spend so much money on a doll. But then she became curious and I showed her pictures here on DOA. Then she would look through all the BJD sites and we would talk about them. Someday we'll both have a bjd (even though I know I'm more into them). It'll be great. Doing faceups together, learning how to sew, doing photoshoots and photostories with both our dolls kicking each others butts... I can't wait!

 

I got my twin sister Davinerurinvega into them and then we got our mom into them ...She bought herself a Zoall Muse,then a Bee-a and we bought her an Orientdoll Ui for her birthday...all in the space of a year.She hates to admit that she's completely hooked She's also planning for a Supia Roda.My dad is amused by them and messes with them when we arent home...he has a tendency to flop them around with mini liquor bottles...

 

My sister has a kid delf boy. And my mom doesn't have one yet but she is always making clothes for him and she calls him her granddoll.

 

My mom has always loved dolls so when I got my Hound she was ecstatic. She loves him to death

 

My daughters and I were all introduced to ABJD's simultaneously at a bookstore (thank you Haute Doll!) I bought my four before they bought theirs (1 each) due to me being grown up and having my own money and them being preteen and having to save and horde for 6 months ( they didn't spend a cent ( OK my eldest spent $2.00)),so they could afford their DD's. We have a lot of fun with our dolls, even though we play with them very differently. My husband is very supportive, he understands obsessive hobbies, he's into steam locomotives and miniatures ( he's taken over 1/2 of our (admitedly small) backyard with his layout).

my parents dont even know i like bjd's .... i dotn think they even know what they are

 

le sigh... just me im afraid....

 

i am the only one in my family that i know of that is into BJDs. for some reason my parents don't seem to understand why i want to buy a doll.

 

my lil brother thinks they're cool but doesnt want one for himself... he wants me to get one though so he can play with him XDD

 

Right now, none of my close friends or family members are into the BJD scene. They think it's a little excessive to spend that much money on a doll, but my mom has stated she thinks the dolls are pretty and my lil sis isn't into the dolls since she has issues as an artist about the bodies not being in proper proportions.

 

So far, I'm the only one out of my friends and family who even knows what BJDs are. I've explained them to my parents, but they don't seem to care so much. But I do suspect that when I do get my doll and show it to my grandmother sometime, she will love her. I don't know why, but I just get that feeling.
