Your reasons for choosing your first doll?

reason was love at first sight hahaha

 

I went with a dollzone doll for price and aesthetics. I thought they looked so cute and were just within my price range. I got a MSD girl and she was the perfect first doll! Precious face, good quality, and perfect size for me. She has very friendly eyes and a slightly mysterious smile. What’s not to love?

 

I was just browsing around cause i found that i really like dolls after i was introduced to this hobby by my friend, so I looked on a website, then i saw dollzone gray and i completely fell straight in love

 

He was just so bloody perfect and I couldn't get him out of my head, so yeah, I simply fell for him pretty hard and got him home.

 

I chose my first doll because I thought she fit my character. I rushed into it and regretted it afterwards ;; I think it’s mostly because I finally had the money to buy a doll and didn’t think it through aha

 

I told myself I would only get one doll. I wanted an SD to be a redheaded guy. He had to be able to look both vulnerable and grouchy, but also dorky. I thought Migidoll Ell fit the bill, and I found the perfect body on the MP by chance later. Though my girl's head arrived first. The reason I got her was simply because I couldn't get her out of my head.

 

I didn't even want to buy or have a BJD and was just browsing pictures of them 'for fun'.

But when I saw pictures of Ringdoll's Merlin I was instantly calmed down by his gentle expression. I think I was feeling really bad at that moment (physically and mentally) and just looking at his calm face was so comforting for me.
I still didn't want to order him at first but eventually got annoyed about how much this doll was stuck in my head. So I gave in after a few weeks and I'm very glad I did!

 

my first doll was an ElfDoll because she was so pretty , Soah. I still have her

 

When I saw her sculpt online, she destroyed my shortlist of sculpts by resembling my favourite character very strongly even though she ended up as the late teens version. I was unsure of the hobby back then so her price and her size(Parabox Megu on Obitsu 50 body) was very reasonable.

 

My first doll was an Elfdoll Lydia that I bought because she was fairly realistic, had an adult body, was 1:3 size which was the size I wanted & available without ordering overseas. She was in stock at the now defunct Dolls & Friends & their service rep talked me thru the entire process answering all the questions I still had about BJDs. I got her in about 3 days so that was instant gratification which was also a big plus.

 

I would said love at first sight. I was browsing a bjd website, and I saw a picture of Lo-chew from 2D Doll. I was like yes! That's him!! My ideal doll with all the features I love.I immediately purchased the doll. So happy to have him in my collection.

 

For a few years I was looking at different sculpts and there was one I was totally in love with and always went back to the same sculpt, strangely when it was time for me to actually purchase one I found another sculpt that was so precious and just kind of spoke to me lol so I ended up getting my crobidoll Nia! No regrets x)

 

I chose my first doll out of instinct I guess? Lol I just knew I’m gunna love that face model sooooo much I need to have it.

 

I just liked her.

 

My first doll, a 5stardoll Lura, was bought because I loved the sculpt. The ears and enigmatic little smile were perfect.

 

for me i just felt this connection with her the sculpt is a my you Delila 45cm. I just saw her face and fell in love. i was looking for a size 45cm doll that didn't look like a child and kept goung back to Alice collection to look at her.

 

I’d never heard of bjd’s but saw some pictures of beautiful black dolls on Pinterest that I fell in love with. So after finding out more about them I bought my first Mikki by Kaye Wiggs from eBay. I had to wait a while until the right one came up but am totally in love with her expression.

 

same when i look at dollfie dreams i looka t the face and outfits firts but for me the reason i got miku as my first dollfie is because shes my idol and i love her so much!

 

I chose my first doll (or rather, the company I would purchase from) for the price point. I was a broke teen and the doll would be a gift from my mom, so it couldn't have been one of the more expensive ones. I found that the RS Song looked enough like one of my OCs and chose him. I'm not sure if I would have wanted a doll if it didn't match one of my characters, but luckily I found him.

 

My first doll is based on a character of mine, Jima. There were a few things I was very picky about, and one big thing I had to settle on, as well as looking at something within my price range.
I settled on a DollLeaves Jeremy for multiple reasons. He was cheaper than I expected for a double jointed doll, and he had two of the things I was looking for most: eye shape and size, and his nose shape.
The thing I had to settle on was his lips. Though I wanted a doll with full lips, his are a bit of a weird shape. Hopefully that doesn't wind up driving me crazy because otherwise, he's absolutely perfect!
