Your first Tiny? Were you shocked?

Jul 29, 2008

    1. My first Tiny was my first BJD ^_^ A PukiPuki Sugar and I was amazed at how tiny and well engineered she was. It was... it took me a few days to get over my amazement at how tiny and perfect she is. Even now I marvel at her.
       
    2. My first Tiny was a Brownie Zeppelin GoGo. When I opened his box, I was in awe at how adorable, irresistible and just plain cute the little guy was. His size wasn't nearly as intimidating as I thought... in fact, I was hooked instantly.

      I still can't believe how detailed he is - right down to his tiny fingers! I also love how I can carry him around in my pocket. He's just precious! :D
       
    3. My first doll is a tiny. BBB Lucky. She came with lots of dresses, shoes and three wigs, all in one shoe box. The first moment I couldn’t find her :doh She got kind of lost in that stuff and bubblethingy around. LOL. Then I’ve gone awwww at her size. I can take her with me everywhere.
      She totally stole my heart, even as she’s a pest to sew for :)
       
    4. I had fallen for a CH Petite in a doll store a couple of years before I took the plunge, so that was the first doll I wanted. Today I got a CH Bisou in the mail and it totally surprised me how small she is. I had even printed out a flat version of her for my bulletin board and it didn't really prepare me.
       
    5. I recently received my very first BJD, a tiny Gogo sculpt Brownie, & yes I was totally shocked. :ablink:

      The cuteness factor struck me immediately, but then when I actually got my hands on her I could not believe the weight, craftsmanship, artistry, & posing capability. I had often read the Brownies are easier to pose than many of the other teeny-tinies, but c'mon - this is unreal, lol.

      I've collected a lot of different kinds of dolls over a lot of years, & this is the first time I have ever considered selling a bunch of them - to be replaced by more tiny BJDs, of course. Those are strong words coming from someone who has always been a 'lifer' when adopting my dolls. They have all always been 'keepers'. At this point I am convinced there are very few if any dolls out there which possess the beauty & perfection found in the world of BJDs. I am definitely hooked.

      I think the most shocking thing to me is it took a long time for me to get interested in & warmed up to this kind of dolls, & now here I am suspecting they will fast become my most favorite dolls of all. Just goes to show people can change, & I am so happy to be someone who did.

      :love
       
    6. I was like "Oh my god thats the cutest thing ever"!!!
      tiny's are adorable, always are
       
    7. My first BJD "tiny" was an Elfdoll HANA DEVIL and a DOONA SOAH. I was in love with their size, and their faceplates! I loved how
      small they were and could sit on my computer monitor (they still do - I don't have a flat screen monitor).

      Then, on a visit to the Elfdoll store in Glendale, Calif., I remember seeing a 14cm TINY ELFDOLL and thinking "they're so small and skinny, I'll never get a doll like that". Well, now I have 7, 14cm tinies... and 2 PUKIs.... and 2 Hana sized dolls.
       
    8. Seishiro-chan is a Minoru World's PocketFairy and my second doll (the first was a MSD): when I took him out of the box, I was almost shocked, he was so small! XD I couldn't play with him for almost two days, I had so much fear to break him! But now he's my favourite journey's friend and he love it, as you can see in this photo <3
       
    9. Since all I have are tinies nope I wasn't shocked. I have a Bobobie March, A Felix Brownie and a Bobobie Elfkin. The Brownie supprised me a little bit but it was instant love. I think I am more shocked at the size of MSD and SD ( I have never seen either in person ) when I see pics of them with tinies. They look sooo big. I love my tinies and only have plans to get one MSD.
       
    10. My first doll was a Garden of Dolls Nabiyette. I was amazed at how delicate and detailed she was. For awhile I have been looking for good dollhouse dolls but nothing is better than the BJDs :)
       
    11. My first tiny doll was my first ever doll, a pukifee ante. I was a bit shocked at how big she was but it's still my favorite size. 15-16cm is just the best, hehe :3
       
    12. I don't any tinies yet, but I am waiting on a Yo-SD.

      In my mind, I used to picture them as about MSD-sized but with childlike features, dunno why, but I always do that, and when it comes to grabbing my ruler and seeing what ~25cm is actually like, I'm always surprised lol! That's so tiny!!

      My incoming tiny is about that height, specifically 25.6 cm, but I'm already envisioning a big baby >_< Bad brain! I keep trying to remind myself how tiny she is compared to my imagination, so that I won't be shocked and disappointed.

      Also, I keep imagining my FL MNF will arrive in tan, even though I ordered normal skin... what's wrong with me lol.

      All I can say is, I hope I'm not too surprised xD
       
    13. Elfdoll tinies are my favourite. I wish they would make them again.
       
    14. Well, my tiny Dollzone Eugenia was my first BJD, so I had nothing to compare her to.
      But yes, shocked. I knew her measurements and all that but when she arrived I was a bit "I knew she'd be tiny... but she's tiiiiiny."

      I love her to bits and I'm glad I got her but I'm not sure I'd get a similar size again.
      She's beautifully delicate.
      "Flexible" doesn't begin to describe her (hehe I can relate, having hypermobile joints. Find myself saying "why won't your shoulder sit right?" then pausing as I recognise the problem myself.)

      But oh my she can be a handful. Joints akimbo every which way. I'm frustrated because I restrung her and hot-glue sueded her joints which went well and she was much less kicky. Then I spilled a bit of acetone on her body and had a frantic emergency unstringing and rinsing/washing. When I put her back together again she's all kicky again, despite using the same elastic loops.

      And her head is so small. So small. I'm having a hard time finding any wig that will fit (3.5") and trying to do her face up aaaaarrrrgh.

      I was mesmerised when I first saw her little face, but now she feels a bit daunting.
      Still glad I got her though, I do love her littleness to look at. She can curl up in the palm of my hand!
       
    15. My first tiny was an Doll chateau Ada. I kind of miss the little guy but he didn't fit in at the time. I'm kind of making my way back to tinies again lol. With centaur type dolls! I love how different all the doll sizes really are. The amount of detail they have for such a small doll is quite amazing and again amazing for something almost palm sized.
       
    16. I was shocked at the detail when my first 1/6th doll (Littlefee Leah) arrived. She looked so delicate and frail. I marveled at the details in her face-up and cooed over her tiny limbs. I loved her the second I laid eyes on her.

      When I first got my 1/8th doll (Pukifee Ante) my reaction was pretty weird. It was a little something like "Is this all?" followed by "Oh my, she IS pretty cute, isn't she?" as I fumbled around with her joints. I think I expected more from them since everyone kept raving about them. In the end I do love 1/8th dolls for their ultra-portability, cuteness factor and carrying one around doesn't immediately cause people to swarm you which is nice.

      I also owned a 1/12th doll (PukiPuki Ruby) which I absolutely adored but unfortunately had to sell for financial reasons. She was the doll that got the most travel time when she was still present.

      I don't think I have a favorite tiny size so far. As long as they're chubby and adorable I'm sold...
       
    17. My first tiny was my first BJD, my Pipos Baha. I loved them from the second I saw one online on deviantart back in the day. I was amazed by her and still love her to this day. It kinda sparked something because now I’m tiny obsessed. :sweat
       
    18. My first tiny BJD was a Pukifee Crystal, and let's just say I was not disappointed. Her faceup was gorgeous and her height matched that of a fairy. The detail of her face sculpt was fascinating! A great doll to start with :aheartbea
       
    19. My first tiny was my Aileen Doll Licht. I was amazed at how adorable and delicate he was :aheartbea
