Why do you like BJDs?
I like BJDs because they are pretty and perfect. The customizing part is so fun, doing faceups/sending dolls for faceups is really cool, although I'm almost never satisfied when I commission a faceup, ahaha! Changing their wigs is also fun but what I like the most about BJDs is that I can sew for them.
Do you own any? If so how many and if not, do you have any plans to at the moment?
I own a bunch of dolls at the moment but they are all up for sale. I have a Supia Hamin (tan), Littlefee Ante,
F60 2012 Juri, Sleeping Rona head, Minifee Miyu head and a Minifee Shushu. The only one I am planning to keep is the Shushu.
What/who was the first BJD you ever owned? Do you still own them? (Who is your planned first?)
The first BJD I ever owned was a CP Delf Lu-wen in white skin. I do not own him anymore but I'm glad I bought him because thanks to him I know that I HATE white skin dolls. The CP Delf Lu-wen is such a hideous sculpt and ew, elf ears!
The doll I planned on getting was a CP Delf Shine but I ended up getting the Lu-Wen for my sister (with my mom's help) because she liked that sculpt (she didn't play with him at all though so I was the owner) I did get a Shine eventually (like 6 or 7 months after Lu-wen, I think) but I sold him as well.
What/who was the very first BJD you saw?
I do not remember. All I remember is that I saw a bunch of people roleplaying their BJDs on myspace and I thought they were cool but I never thought of owning one because they were expensive and I was only 16.
Then in my senior year of high school I started to frequent Gardenofmoons' website and I loved her photostories so much that I was determined to get a BJD (I got Lu-wen a year later or something, aha.)
Biggest size you own? (Have held/seen/like)
The biggest size I've owned was a Dollmore Model body, it was too big and I traded it immediately after.
Smallest size you own? (Have held/seen/like)
Littlefee Ante. I don't think I can own anything smaller than a Littlefee.
What is your favourite size?
Msd but not just any msd..MINIFEES!
What is your least favourite size?
Anything that isn't MNF size :)
What do your friends think of your dolls/dolls in general?
People who know about my BJDs don't really care. Some handle the doll a bit and think they're weird/cool.
Have you ever had a floating head? What about a headless body? (What do you think you would do if you had either?)
Who hasn't had a floating head? I don't remember if I've had a headless body..Maybe!
What can I do? lol. If I'm really interested in the floating head I will buy a body for it, if not then it will have to share.
What do your family think of your dolls?
I think they think they're cute. My mom always asks me about my dolls (she even knows Wednesday's name!) and she always shows me things that are MNF size for her.
My sister likes my dolls, she plays with them/dresses them and sometimes helps me pick names, clothing styles and personalities.
Can any of your crew stand on their heads?
I don't know and I won't try. Why would I try this? That's like throwing $400 in the trash (well, if it breaks) stupid question.
What is your favourite item of dollie clothing?
Anything Foxy Browny! I don't really have a specific item.
Do you have a favourite company?
Fairyland! I also really like Supia. Luts is on the list because their wigs are reasonably priced and they're decent quality. I guess I have to include Dollshe as well but that's only because I'm a HUGE fan of their eyes, I've never really owned any dolls from Dollshe.
A least favourite company?
Is this question really important? If I don't really bother with the stuff a company has to offer then why waste my time talking about it? If the company is not one of my favorites then I simply don't care about it.
What is your dream doll?
I find it hard to fall in love with dolls just like that so I'm just gonna say Minifee Shushu.
One doll you love, but will never (probably) buy?
Those Dollshe boys! So handsome but too big and male! I own girls only :)
What’s your favourite doll scale prop?
Do bags count as props? No? Then I'd have to pick anything people make out of clay! As well as items I've made with it :D
Is there a part of the BJD hobby that you dislike?
Yeah, I really hate when people criticize the faceup on someone's doll or the company their doll is from. I mean, I might be thinking I don't like the faceup a doll has but if I don't have something nice to say I won't say it unless I'm asked by the owner. It also annoys me when people talk about what someone looks like/what they wear to a meetup.
Also, the rules on DOA. I'm mostly talking about people getting suspensions for dumb reasons and Ban Sidhe getting banned is just ridiculous, they didn't even bother with her. Those mods are assholes.
Another thing that bothers me about the marketplace on doa is that you have to delete an item on your thread as soon as it sells, like, what if someone didn't bother reading that the wig they bought from you had flyaways and gets really mad at you and demands a refund? Then you don't have prove of this because everything has been deleted. The other thing is when someone is selling a doll and they put it on hold and the mods send the thread to the graveyard. Mods, the thread was put on hold for a reason and the seller is never sure if the buyer is going to go through with the sale, gosh so impatient.
What about your favourite part of the hobby?
I really like the MNF community is. Most of us know each other or know who is who! I couldn't find that with dolls from other companies. Maybe it's just because minifees are so popular and because us minifee owners are crazy, ahahahahahah!
Have you ever modded a doll?
Nope and I'm not interested in this aspect of the hobby. I really don't wanna damage a $100 head and buying a cheap head for modding purposes would probably be a bad idea because I would just set the project aside and forget about it.
I've thought about opening eyes and sanding elf ears but I always chicken out.
Done your own faceups?
Yup! I think I'm improving! :D
Do you have a favourite out of your own dolls?
Um, how to answer this? I'm in the process of selling all of my dolls and keeping only one, my Minifee Shushu. I guess I'll just say that Wednesday is my favorite doll because I sold her but had to get her back because I missed the Shushu sculpt :)
Have you ever been to a doll meetup?
Yes and they aren't fun because there's just a bunch of people I don't give a fuck about and don't really care about their dolls so no point in that for me. I have to admit that it is fun to see different dolls though but I'd rather just stay home and spend time with my doll and chat with people I know and like. Making friends at meetups is hard.
I didn't do the picture ones listed below but I will do them later. I want this to be a pretty entry :D
Post a picture of all your dolls!
