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

Right now I would probably buy Coral Reef's Beetle Fullset (Human Version), but that answer could change!

 

I would join in on the Pasha Pasha Mini pre order and get a White Bone Sanity.

 

I'd order Black Cherry Meihua as well as buy eyes, faceup and wig. If I have anything left, I would buy some doll patterns.

 

Find an experienced sculptor to make the bodies for the couple of characters I'm trying to finish, since I'm having a hard time finding ones I like for them xD

 

Get myself a Dim Minimee head, hopefully of Mana sama, Atsushi, or one of the GazettE or Dir En Grey boys!

 

DZ Ying Long! With my current finances I can't justify 900 dollar doll purchase but he's one of the most beautiful I've ever seen ;_;; He's my dream doll for when I can display him nicely.

 

Alllll of the wigs and outfits!

 

I would buy a LLT Roderich head with papers and have him faced up far better than I can do.

I have one I am doing a hybrid with but unfortunately he came sans papers and so I can't really display him on here. I don't display dolls that I'm not very sure of authenticity on DOA. If I have any question I save it for elsewhere where it's less likely to cause offense.

I really prefer to have legit dolls with papers. It's not always possible. But in an ideal world I'd definitely want a totally verifiable head so I can display his photos anywhere.

That and I'd probably buy him, his lady, his kid some really snazzy clothes. Far better than I can afford now...

Probably do the same for a few of my minis too...

I also covet a mini Saint and might finally buy one...

 

That’s valid! I’ll never understand why they don’t give coa’s for allll parts of a doll, even if it’s just a body. Like I want the proof please LOL

 

I got the last thing I said on here.

Right now I would buy the next two dolls on my list 'Asleep Eidolon Lucas' & 'Xaga Doll Zoe' (60cm Boy) I'd probably still have to pay a bit more for shipping but I'd be fine with that. I've been saving so hopefully I can get them soon.

 

Even though I have several dolls on my wish list I don't mind saving up for them. If I was given $1000 I'd probably get new face-ups for my girls, as they're all 5+ years old, OR new outfits. It seems like everything is done in full-sets nowadays, running $200+ a piece (some of the dealer made sets are $600+!) so it wouldn't even go very far

 

I would definitely order some face-ups, bjd clothes and accessories.
Actually with current prices that 1000 would be spent pretty quickly. Yeah, I still sometimes don't understand the overpricing of bjd stuff.
But I would also think hard about finding Mori 9's Lyra or Angel by Joy doll.

 

DF-A Yuxiu. And maybe Ring Doll Wang Ximeng basic ver.

 

- DeMuse Dolls are absolute awesomeness. Any DeMuse doll.

 

It sounds lame maybe, but I would get the Y’Shtola Dollfie Dream. I didn’t get her both times she released, because I couldn’t justify spending that much on a doll…but I couldn’t pass up the twins release, so I found a way to make that work…now I am extra sad that I have missed Y’Shtola. If they do a third release for her, I will make it happen! …or once I get the twins paid off, I might be able to try and hunt her down on Mandarake or something…

 

- the very reason why I never settle for limited dolls or special versions. Less pain and regret :P

 

Last time I posted in here was 3 years ago so it's time for an update!

If gifted $1000 for doll stuff, I'd get a BJD version of my D&D character-- Doll, face-up/ear mod, and clothes custom made. I say ear mod because I'm having a very hard time finding an elf that suits my criteria

 

A Luts KDF in tan + short, wavy black wig, purple eyes for Sumire, a variety of shoes - gothic lolita, Victorian boots... and maybe a few outfit sets from Volks...

I'd also splurge on high end BJD furniture to display my dolls, in opulent antique style to match their vibes. Of course, they would need flowers and teacups and a wardrobe to hold their fancy new outfits.

 

I'm splurging them on dorrie accessories (clothes, shoes, etc), especially the ancient asian variants in full set.

 

Dear me from 4 years ago (more precisely from Nov. 10, 2020)....

That $1000 is not enough for what you want to buy now. Check your current dolly family list and look at all the dolls you have acquired since then, still lust over your Grail doll list as that hasn't changed, check the DoA Marketplace in hopes that your Grail dolls are there, and stay away from the list of companies that sell dolls for less than $300. Don't branch out to other companies as that is a slippery slope of dolly fandom you are not ready for. You have no room for more. I repeat, you have no room for more. But I know you will buy more. And there's the holiday season for dolls coming up. Just pick a doll you haven't hanged out with in a while from the dolly room, sit with them and watch tv, and resist the temptation for more. You are good...for now...

Sincerely,
You from today
