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.

Why do you need more than one?

Jul 13, 2009

    1. I like having more than one doll to kind of 'personify' multiple characters ^^
       
    2. Because I like more than one BJD :)
       
    3. I'm interested in different types of dolls, so I need more than one bjd:)
       
    4. I feel my doll will be lonely if I have only him (first doll). :pout: So I find some friends for him and make a story background. I really enjoy with many dolls from different companies, different size, so I can sew some gorgeous clothes for them. But I do have limit for number of my doll. I won't buy more than what I've planned!
       
    5. Because My girl tell me "My owner, I want to have more sisters!!" :doh
       
    6. I really don't why I need more than one. But I enjoy different sculpts, and the beauty of them all. I can't seem to have just one, I need many! Right now I'm concentrating on collecting bimong bjds, next will be iplehouse, and then minifees, and on and on. My wallet needs to get bigger!
       
    7. I consider the hobby somewhat of a collection thing. : > It's fun to collect them and create new personalities every time!
       
    8. this is a really interesting question, i think for the most part there are a number of categories that we fit into. some of us want them because they want an embodiment of their character, others want more versatility in their art, some of us just collect them for their beauty and one is simply not a collection, then theres wanting variety in the subject matter of your photography...and so on. at the end of the day though it's really hard to pinpoint why these dolls end up becoming so freakishly addictive despite their hefty price tags and their long waiting periods and relatively high maintenance. i've yet to read someone's response and feel like it reflects the reason behind my own obsession...i dont know if there's any easy answer to it!
       
    9. To see differeny sculpt and resins from different companies, to make photostories and group shots! Some interactions baby to keep you busy too! (or to make your life miserable by prepping each one of them, it takes hours haha XD)
       
    10. Because a story has many characters ^^
      My dolls are based upon story or roleplay characters, so they represent those characters ^^
       
    11. We don't NEED most of what we have... just one purse would do, one pair of shoes and the list goes on and on. People collect for a number of reasons, mine being that I really, really enjoy dolls and this being a new experience for me (the bjd's) I am sure that one will not be enough...
       
    12. Because one is a really lonely number, but in all seriousness it's probably because I would like to have some more characters to play with and customise.
       
    13. Variety is the spice of life and my doll can get lonely:lol: seriously, I don't know why we humans are greedy and always want more, it is in our nature and these dolls make me happy and expand my creativity, so I want to create different characters/personalities and looks...that's my excuse XD
       
    14. They are like skittles. You can't have just one ;) also they will be lonely by themselves. Who would they play with when you are out of the room?
       
    15. I had my boy for about a month and he looked so lonely, spoiled and pampered nonetheless lonely. So I decided to order his little brother and then I also ordered another character from the story I'm working on. Now I keep finding more dolls that fit characters and my wish list keeps growing. Before, I ordered the last two I bought two heads which stay in their boxes until they get bodies and faceups.
       
    16. Simple unadulterated GREED!!!! BWAHAHAHA!
       
    17. I have 2 girls that I'm very happy with. I don't think I'd get any more. I like having them so they can be sisters. It's fun dressing them and posing them.
       
    18. I "have" to have more than one because I'm really bad with impulse buying.
       
    19. I guess I want more characters. I have my Anneke and I love her, but I hope to get her friends that fill out her story. Though, I find that I'm not interested in simply another human looking doll. I'm only interested in buying fantasy, or odd looking dolls, such as the dolls Doll Chateau makes. I see so many creative possibilities for them, both in an arts-and-crafts kind of way, as well as in a literary way. I want to make characters out of them.
       
    20. Because my dolls are based of characters and I like working with character interaction. So I feel like I need at least 2-3 dolls from the same story before I can start working with them.
