Only my one doll has a hobby, photography. Renee has a fantastic camera and as soon as his jointed finger hands arrive we can both go on photo shoots.
My Mari likes to collect leaves. She likes nature in general, but loves all the colors of leaves and preserves them. She also has some moss and flowers in that collection.
My boy Pip likes photography and gaming! There's few others I'm considering too like skateboarding, vinyl collecting and guitar playing but I haven't developed those for him yet!
One of my dolls, Milton, collects antique furniture. In his story there's an antique collectors group that he's been trying to join but to no avail. Poor guy.
My boy Frankie dances Contemporary Ballet, but he likes dancing to other things he finds challenging since he has the strenght. He also likes skateboarding!
My first girl Helio loves to study plants and insects and has a lot of books and pictures about those. She also loves magical creatures and playing games She is the only doll in my family that I gave so much personality
All of my dolls (except the babies) have hobbies, some are much more in depth than others. Luc- guns, bows, film making (though he's trying to make it a career), gaming, camping Lakin- unsolved mysteries, astronomy, urban exploration, music Jack- Nintendo gaming, skating, music Parker- acting, dancing, writing, art Dhani- cooking, baking, modeling, fashion Kier- craft beer, soccer, golf Hailey- baking, scrapbooking, sewing, knitting Roxxi- retro gaming, attending local concerts Erica- trying new foods, shooting, cryptozoology (making it a career) Charlie- woodworking, home restoration, reading, acting Opaline- exploring graveyards, museums, collecting dolls, ghost stories Eirnin- YouTube personality, darts, billiards Derby- collecting bugs, climbing trees Indrid- climbing, raves, people watching Amir- collecting art, painting, travel, piano
Mostly, I role play them with friends, and a lot of it is just in their stories, but I do have a good collection of props too! Sometimes, I think I enjoy the props as much as the dolls. The trick to saving money on props is to re-imagine a lot of random things as doll props, or just look for tiny things that aren't specifically made for BJD. For example, GameStop and Barnes & Noble have Nintendo keychains that are the perfect size controllers/handheld systems for SD!
All my dolls have hobbies ahahaha, I think it's because they're all characters though? No Man's Land characters: ▨ Satoru: watching k-dramas, gambling, drinking ▨ Keiichi: classic literature, be it prose or poetry. He also writes poems himself ▨ Taemin: makeup, korean television at large, huge k-pop fanboy, also into adult toys ▨ Akira: mixing drinks, running, motorcycles ▨ Yasuo: cooking, kyudo, watching trashy tv ▨ Kohei: martial arts, also watching trashy tv (with Yasuo), showing off ▨ Kiyomi: collections of cute things, handheld gaming, gardening Hellgate characters: ▨ Lance: video games, taking care of his gang ▨ Alex: soccer, basketball, skateboarding ▨ Levi: sewing, cosplay ▨ Narsus: coffee and tea making, reading, astronomy ▨ Colin: archery, playing music, singing ▨ Cadence: training to be a superhero when he grows up, board games ▨ Mr Charming: womanizing (unironically) ▨ Rowan: swordfighting, studying history ▨ Marnie: eating, travelling, climbing trees, people watching: ▨ Sen: playing pranks, enjoying nature, granting people's "wishes" when possible 404 ERROR // AFTERSTORY characters: ▨ Irie: housekeeping, reading romance novels ▨ Atsushi: art, graffiti, parkour ▨ Lorina: dancing, acting, baking ▨ Naoto: working, cooking, billiards ▨ Miharu: video games, online personalities, hacking
Andrea (Pukifee multihead zio) loves stand-up Paddleboarding. Here's her outfit but I haven't made her board or paddle.
I don't really have hobbies for my Der Mausritter crew, but for my D.C. Hero girl Carlan, she like to practice Wicca and Pagan witchcraft, also dancing. And Helrun, my Star Wars Jedi girl, she likes eating and training as her hobbies.
Percy, being the trickster that he is, probably would call "making other people's life a misery" a hobby XD (He picks on Amos a lot too, poor guy) Dorian enjoys baking a lot, Amos likes handcraft, Valentin likes shopping because he's vain and rich, and I would imagine Silas to be into the typical "manly" hobbies like collecting weapons and hunting? I haven't thought much about Reg simply because he's a demon, and what the heck do they do for fun? Doing evil stuff in general? I really don't know XD
Avalon, likes reading mystery fiction... and he's unintentionally picked up a bit of a baking skill (more so outta necessity. He works at a cafe.) Noah loves, loves, LOVES art to a point where it effects her magic practice. She draws and paints as long as her hands will allow. Kazumi loves manga a lot and sneaks some anime between school work. The twins love driving Avalon crazy! Vala, she has few hobbies. She's a bit of a workaholic, but when she's not doing that, telling folktales in the village square for the local children is something she enjoys.
My boys like to mix up the body parts of figures and make new ones, not always good but entertaining. Rog and Dale and Figs by SteamWitch, on Flickr
Katurah's hobby is that she is a techy! She is really good with computers and technology! She is part cyborg after all!
Chara: Following Frisk around and providing a running commentary. Formerly (when human) it was drawing and mildly tormenting their beloved brother. Frisk: Hanging out with their numerous friends and family, they have picked up many hobbies. Cooking (supervised,) astronomy, and puzzle-craft among others. Lorina: Reading, sleeping, and maladaptive daydreaming. Emie: Eating, hunting, stealing stuff to eat, staring with puppy eyes at people who are eating so that they might share... Lil Ari: Being read to by Lorina, since he can't see well and also is illiterate. Grown up Ilari: Spending time with his daughter.
Oh yes, several have hobbies. Largo collects rare books, Dez is obsessed with Star Trek, Zak likes to go ghost hunting, Huckleberry has his Japanese rock garden, and Rupert plays table-top miniatures games.
Because Morpheus is dream lord he have as hobby read book of dreams of others. Arthas have as hobby watching fantasy movies ,playing games, reading fantasy books and he likes cosplay. Athalar likes walks in nature and his hobby is singing.
My dolls all like japanese traditional dances and Kabuki performances! I hope I can put this into scene one day
My boy Liam likes listening to true crime podcast and collecting bones, and Remy likes gaming and photography.

Alexis has recently tried their hand at embroidery, but he's finding it frustrating that it takes so long.
