You're gifted $1000. What do you buy?

Buy a +$1000 full doll. I have one in mind, but you can fill in the blank with whichever you think of, because they are all gorgeous and so out of reach at the moment realistically!

 

Okay I know I'm on DoA but my first instinct was to say "a five-string bass guitar, so i can play [several songs which are impossible with the tuning of my current bass]" or "a set of fencing gear" because i have too many expensive hobbies. (And honestly, I could do both with that kind of money and still have some left over for a doll!)

BUT if we're talking, you know, on-topic: I have a specific plan to get two full dolls and a body from Dream Valley and a head from Withdoll for a set of brothers who are my next priorities, and that's the majority of that grand! I might add in one more girl (also DV) too, and after shipping I suspect that would be all of it!

(The dolls in question: DV Sylves, DV Achelous human head, DV 49 & 51cm bodies, Withdoll Kyle, DV Silina. I didn't plan to get a bunch of DV dolls but also they're gorgeous and suit the characters i'm shelling very nicely!)

 

I've thought about this one for awhile and my answer keeps changing. xD Do I stay responsible and get 2 DF-H 68 bodies for two heads I desperately want bodies for? (AS Anthony and Switch Hwayeon) Or....do I get that SD13 Williams fullset I've been staring at for over a month? I've low-key had Williams as my grail since pretty early into the hobby but could never justify his outrageous second hand price. But if I had $1000 on hand....well. It might just be possible for once!

Or I'd go far left field and get a Crobidoll Lance on the evolve body with faceup and spend the rest on custom clothing. xD You know, because that also makes sense. lol

 

Bodies for all floating heads, more Unoa faceplates, heeled feet and more hands for everyone and maybe I'll even swap out my sewing machine for one that sews really small stuff a little better.

 

I'd put out a wtb for a dreaming vampire shiwoo and cross my fingers!

 

I would buy a Myou Daisy in coffee (blank doll), and then focus on outfits, wigs, and faceups! I plan to make wigs myself, so I’d get some nice mohair or alpaca fiber to work with. I’m still very new to the hobby, so my first and currently only doll is still staring at me blank, eyeless, wigless, and unclothed (though her eyes should be on the way any day now!), and I’d really like to make progress on her.

 

I'd probably get some bodies and shoes really xDD.

 

minifee with feet and hands;
makeup for this doll and some shoes for all my dolls.

 

To say the truth If I am gifted 1000 cash I will probably save them for heating and electricity cause the prices are crazy but if let's say I was gifted coupons for bjd worth 1000 and had space I would either get a do dolls dream Ursula Eris or Natasha and Natalia of gem of doll and their mermaid 1/4 body

 

I can't buy any of the dolls I want even if I had $1000 because all the dolls I want are discontinued.

 

At this point . . . probably add it to the other thousand dollars I'm already willing to pay for Dollzone Keai and wave it around hoping and praying for results

Me and my unrelenting passion for discontinued dolls, uuugh lmfao.

 

Hm, as much as I have collected second hand because I like a lot of random old dolls and to catch a good bargain, I think with $1,000 for free I would want to support artists with direct purchases rather than tracking down one of my discontinued grails. I think I'd just enjoy that opportunity more than looking for a specific thing.
Lillycat or a doll from Dollits come to mind for me first. There are plenty of dolls I never got to buy... It would be hard to pick. Or maybe just a really pretty body like the popo 64 I wanted forever and/or maybe just a years worth of many purchases of wigs, shoes, eyes, and particular clothes I never got to get and I refuse to bother making. seems like maybe this free $1k is already causing me more decision anxiety than good.

 

Hm, difficult question. I think, I will first pay my layaway for a last doll I bought, to live without credit and dept. Then on the rest money I ll order SoulDoll Kid.

 

Honestly, my immediate instinct was to comission a computer desk that fit the measurements I wanted perfectly but, I'm on DoA so... Hm...

I can think of other dolls I would get but in terms of BJD... Maybe I would try to hunt down the first BJD I saw. $1000 should hopefully be able to get me Dream of Dolls Dream of Teen E-an fullset.

 

Probably eyes first, actually, some of mine have been waiting a while. Then faceups. Then as many bodies as I could stretch the rest to cover.

 

A giant dollhouse! Like one of those nine foot tall open faced ones that would pretty much dominate a wall. Then all the paint and stucco to deck the walls because I'm a fancy b!tch

I pretty much have all the dolls I want and the furniture, I just need a beautiful shell to house it all! Assuming there's anything left over though, I wouldn't mind getting another kitty from Dearmine

 

Most likely either Iplehouse EID Asa with face up, wig, clothes and all ...

...or Dollzone Gray, Resinsoul Mi and a Resinsoul Yi body without the muscles.

Loong Soul Yu Ze Style-A would be an option, too. Hmm ... tough decision. ^^;

 

Dollstown Daisy on the 17 girl body and extra hands, blushing, etc. It's just about right accounting for €250 customs fees

 

I'd commission someone to sew amazing clothes for all my dolls. (Probably buy a cute, tiny doll, too... )

 

Option 1 - Get Feeple Rozen. I love him but don’t collect SD’s yet, so a $1,000 gift would help me justify a foray into a new size.

Option 2 - Buy shoes for all of my dolls and all of my friends’ dolls!!! They’re all so BAREFOOTED and I want OPTIONS!
