Funny BJD Stories?

I'm waiting for my first doll head, and it's a bit bloody and scarred, so my dad always calls the head bloody boy. He's super creeped out by him, which is hilarious.

 

Just a warning, this story involves mention of a recast.

Back when I was still a newbie, one of my good friends was visiting one day when I had just received a new doll in the mail. When it arrived, it was so off. I already had a doll by this company (leekeworld), same body but different head sculpt, and this one was supposed to be the same color, only it wasn't. It was much darker and pinker, and it didn't feel right. I was sitting in my living room when my friend came in and I was crying my eyes out because I just knew this doll was a fake. I had the new doll and my old doll taken apart and the pieces all placed side by side. I explained the situation to my friend, who had no idea what bjds were, and she helped me take pictures and make a post on the ask the admins section of doa to see if the mods aggreed with my suspicions. This story has a happy ending because the mods confirmed my suspicions and I was able to open a paypal dispute against the seller to get a full refund for a fake product. My friend still references that day as "Remember the time I walked in on you crying over dismembered dolls?".

 

A few years ago, I was on my way to visit my parents, but my girl had arrived at the post office. I picked her up on the way over, and opened her at their house. My dad was so comically upset that she didn't have clothes, so he made her a "dress" from a paper towel and a string. It looked like the "dress" Scuttle made for Ariel in The Little Mermaid. It was hilarious and endearing at the same time.

 

When I sent Snow away for a custom faceup, he was gone for about a month. He was my first doll and is very special to me. When I got him back, it was late, but I was too excited to wait to put him back together. As soon as I got his head on, his elastic snapped and his lower half fell on the floor. I panicked and almost started crying but my SO picked him up, kinda held him together on the bed for posing so I could still get pictures, and then took me to get new elastic. I had a friend come over and help me restring him (first time I messed it up). Now it's kinda funny, but it wasn't when it happened!

 

I definitely think I would have cried! Props to your partner for helping you through that initial AAAAAAAHHHH moment!

 

I was shaking so hard. He just arranged some blankets on the bed and somehow managed to make it look like Snow was still in one piece. I actually got some pretty decent photos considering lol I'm glad he is back in one piece now though. And now that I know how to restring him, I'm far less scared of it happening in the future!

 

This was at a doll meet, and someone was restringing their boy doll. The pelvis, with the hip facing up, resembled an owl. So a couple of us put eyes in the sockets and photographed the result.

 

One of the funniest situations involving dolls was my first meet. I had just received my first girl, and she was barefoot because I had only bought one pair of heeled shoes with her and was afraid to switch out her feet because aren't dolls fragile???

Well, we were meeting at someone's place who had just received a Soom Chalco with fantasy legs on, and they wanted the human legs on him. Well, Chalco wasn't having any of it. I've never since seen a doll put up such a fight! Within a couple minutes, two experienced hobbyists were wrestling that doll into submission, and I was watching from the sidelines like "... nope. Definitely not that fragile"

 

I had a "how many humans does it take to string a doll" experience at a meet a few years ago. Someone needed their doll restrung, I offered to do it but didn't really have proper restringing tools. Also for some reason the doll needed to be strung incredibly tightly, ended up with three or four other people surrounding me holding various parts and yanking, while someone released the tension on the elastic with needlenose pliers so I could get the feet on. People walking by were staring at the mass of people fighting with him.

 

Is it funny that nobody in my family knows I have two dolls secretly hiding in a bin in my closet. I only take them out when I’m alone. It’s when I’m the most comfortable and it’s when I photograph them. I still have that anxious feeling of feeling afraid of what they might think of my bjd hobby. What are your stories?

 

Conversation between my uncle and me, about three years ago when Johnny was still new. I was preparing a chair to sit in, with Johnny nestled on the cushion waiting to be picked up, when suddenly I realized my rear was right between my uncle and the television.

ME: I'll get my butt out of your way in a minute.
HIM: Oh, don't mind me. I'm just sittin' here, lookin' at your Barbie.
ME: Oh, he's not a Barbie.
HIM: He???

Poor Johnny. I have to admit he looks a little effeminate with his shaggy wig (he's the larger doll in my profile picture), but he does NOT look like a Barbie! My mother and I had a hearty LOL over that one.

 

Not sure if this counts as "funny" but I recently got a DC body with a jointed dick and whooooo boy my whole family (including me) was going crazy laughing our asses off about that.

"Why does he have that??"
"I don't know!"
"WHO WOULD WANT THAT???"
"I DON'T KNOW!!!"

I actually ended up removing it and making him a removable "cup" so that he looked better in pants (lol), so I have the offending member hidden away in the box. Definitely one of those funny moments that's funnier if you were there though.

 

(I hope that I'm allowed to talk about off-topic dolls in here!)

I was new to the hobby, and my first doll is a Granado Vindoll Udell (the one in my avatar - his name is Amos).
I've done my research, but I always thought that BJD all have joints that are strung with elastic. So when I first opened the package, I was like "the joints look funny"???!!!
Then I proceed to dress Amos - or at least tried to - because his pants are ultra-tight and I couldn't take his feet off. It took me 30 mins before one of his foot came off accidentally.
I panicked, thinking that I broke him, and hastily texted one of my dolly friends asking for help - I felt so silly afterwards!
Then there's when I tried to take his head lid (?) off to no avail, and that's when I discovered that Vindolls have no magnets inside their heads - you'll need brutal force to pry them open!!!
For my first doll, he was certainly unusual I guess - not even a traditional resin BJD!
Oh well, at least he's really light XD

 

I got my first BJD end of Jan this year A Fairyland Littlefee and I was that excited I even bought her a nicer out fit the fairyland pirate outfit some one was selling. when it arrived I gently got her dressed but her hands popped off so I finished dressing and got her hands back on took pics proudly displayed them on facebook and a group for fairyland ..........only to be told I had her hands on backwards
When I looked it was staring you right in the face. I felt so embarrasses. My friend when I told her could not stop laughing !

 

I have a funny incident from when I was crafting some eyes. I had all my stuff lined up, different parts all in their containers. I accidently knocked over my container of irises. I let out a "Gaaaagh! Nooo!" My hubby came in, looking very concerned and asked if I was ok. I told him I just dropped all my irises. The look on his face was priceless

 

When I do my face ups, I usually work on them at a different time than I do body blushing. In order to protect the bodies when I spray the blank faces, I wrap them in cling wrap so I don’t have to take them apart. My three pre-teens came home from school and were appalled at what they called spider victims. I guess they do look like they’ve been wrapped up by spiders when they’re covered in cling wrap!

 

I was changing my boy during a photoshoot outside the house and for whatever reason ended up leaving off his underwear under the second outfit. I put the underwear in my purse and promptly forgot about it. At my friend's baby shower, we played a game where one challenge was to be the person with the weirdest item in their purse - who knew? Rainbow-striped 1/3 scale underwear was a win. XD Got some strange looks that day...

 

I was bring one of my new at the time boys to show a doll friend. We met up in a Tim Horton's as the visit was going to be short-ish due to our schedules and the time that we were meeting (roughly 8:30pm & I had a 1.5 hour train ride after that to get home). So I take Liroshan (Granado 53cm Lucifer in Syringa) out of my bag in this crowded coffee shop and we're talking dolls and she's playing around with his joints. We're getting some stares at this point but neither of us cares.

Then I pull out the small bag of "option parts" that I got with him and hand them to her saying, "Here's his bag of dicks." Of course, that's the exact moment when there was a lull in the noise of the place. There were some very confused stares that only worsened when I opened the bag and dumped out his parts so she could see them. We still didn't care about the stares and thought it was funny to see the confused/horrified looks of the other people immediately around us.

 

I was at my favorite fabric store, I had just gotten my doll Kazumi so I didn't have much for her in terms of girls clothes. (I only really had a rough made dress for her out of some spare fabric) and had her seated in the shopping cart, while I was laying out my fabric bolts. A woman was passing by and stopped asking: "Is that a doll?" and we got to talking. It turns out she was thinking of getting a BJD or sculping one herself but hadn't seen one in person before, so I offered her a chance to hold her. It was honestly, the sweetest thing she was holding Kazumi like she was a newborn and I showed her how her joints worked. It was honestly the timing of it that I thought was funny, just what were the odds that while I was shopping for fabric to sew for my BJD that I'd find another BJD fan like that?

 

Yeah,
I have always wondered why most SD17 BJDs have jointed Dicks? who knows.
Great story BTW

 

As I was rewigging a doll, my husband reiterated how creepy he finds my BJDs. That was when her face fell off.

 

Funny Bjd stories? Ok
once I was sewing some pants for my SD boy and lets just say the pattern was a bit small and they did not fit over his butt.

 

My boyfriend usually messes with my wigs by “wearing” them on his hand like hand puppets lol! then he pretends that the hand with the wig is the bride and his other hand is the groom and makes them kiss

 

Ah, I've got another one!
My newest doll Perseus is on a TD body which happens to have 5 detachable.... men bits, let's call them that. (WHY WOULD THEY NEED FIVE OF THEM ANYWAY)
When I was browsing the secondhand market page for details, my mum was also standing behind me to check it out - she is interested in them as well.
It just happens that the word to describe the men bits is a bit vague ( a euphemism I guess), so she asked me what it was, while pointing to the picture of the clear bag that holds the five men parts. I had no choice but to tell her what they are, but we had a good laugh afterwards! XD
Bonus #1 the previous owner said she once had a buyer mistaking the men bits as horns, and attached them to her doll's head using eye putty.....!!!! °A°
Bonus #2 My dad suggests that we use the detachable men bits as fridge magnets. I know, we are a weird family! XD

 

Very funny story thanks for sharing!

 

There was a time where I was changing my doll's clothes and I had him propped against my dresser cause I was lazy. All of a sudden, his torso flew down (from the imbalance) and his hands were up in the air which made it so that one of his hands hit me in the face (my eyeball specifically). When I had propped him back up, I don't know what was wrong, but he looked like he had a satisfied smirk on his face?! I just laughed it off and I still remember that incident (I don't really know if that story is really funny though). Also, I sometimes put my doll's eyes on in different directions so they purposefully look walleyed and I usually have a good laugh about it.

 

One evening I was talking with my husband about my bjd, and she was sitting up and had shifted a little due to gravity sitting on the back of a stuffed animal that is temporarily being used as her bed. I turned to look at her and she was staring right at me! Hahaha

 

I don't have very many funny bjd stories, but there was this one time when I showed my mom my Leeke Mihael and she said that he looked like a miserable teenager! Now I can't stop thinking of that and laugh at him while he frowns at me! He's been sent to a face up artist again so I can't make fun of him right now!

 

73cm boy fell face-first towards me. I was in bed and surrounded by pillows so I didn't think much of it, just let him land on me/the bed. A day later I spot this weird 2mm blueblack in a corner of the top of my foot and it didn't connect... until 2 days later when it dawned that it was where his nose landed.

 

This was years ago now, but my father used to love taking trips around the western US, and I decided to go with my folks on one of their last ones (neither of them want to drive long distance anymore). Of course I took Rin along because he's a spoiled brat. I didn't put him in a bag or anything, just carried him around on top of my pillow (I have allergies).
My parents both get a bit of a kick out of my hobby, and my father could see Rin in the rearview mirror where I'd set him up on the pillow, so he kept making jokes like, "can he see okay back there?"
So, one morning as we hurried out to the van, I kind of tripped and had to shift Rin quickly to make sure I didn't drop him. It wasn't until after we were some ways down the road that I realized he wasn't wearing his new glasses anymore. I figured they'd been knocked off in the parking lot, and while it was annoying, they were cheap and could easily be replaced.
That night my mother knocked on my motel room door and said, "you won't believe what I found in the [van's] waste-basket."
Sure enough, it was Rin's glasses. So apparently he was being a typical moody tween who got glasses for the first time and didn't want to wear them, so he tried to throw them away.

 

One of my favorites is around the time I got my first doll. I was at work (late shift) and my husband called me, faintly buzzed and just freaking the heck out.

Apparently, my Luts Ani had a somewhat shallow ankle hook (since fixed) so when my husband bumped him, his foot came off the string. Naturally, his whole leg went with it.

So my husband calls me, practically in tears because he 'broke' my doll and can't get the string back in. He felt soooo bad but I was just laughing. Told him to set Icarus down and I'd fix it later.

More recently, I was gifted a DragonDoll Upsilon. I was not aware that they came with uh... swappable magnetic bits. There was a lot of laughter after I discovered that.

 

I love the Bag of Genitalia. Was telling a couple of my friends that if they didnt want the parts I would make them into wearable accessories.

 

When I had just gotten into the hobby back in high school, my dad and I shared his garage workshop for his home improvement work and my dolls. I had been working on blushing a chest piece and some hands and thought nothing of leaving them out there to dry overnight while I got some sleep. The next morning, the first thing my dad says to me:

"Why are there disembodied titties in my shop?"

 

I get you!~

I'm asian and we have a 7th lunar month tradition where we believe the boundaries thin and spirits roam then. So while unboxing my friends kept commenting on the disembodied body parts scattered round

 

I love how much man bit stories are here xD definitely love them!

Not that funny as others but when the postman came to me everytime he has a package for me with the question "Is it a human again or just something for them to wear... because you never buy clothes for yourself, my dear."

 

Recently I received my first Dollshe doll. My stepmom wanted to see what he looked like, so I pulled him out of his box. He had a cup on instead of a dick and so my stepmom asked: "Oh, is it a gender-neutral doll?" to which I proceeded to pull out the bag that contained his parts and was like "Nope, here's his dick!".

 

I lost a doll head in my room. I thought for 2 months that I might have accidentally thrown it away somehow. 2 months of periodic searching, I find it next to my garbage can. I SWEAR I looked and didn’t find it there in my initial search xD. During the search party, I thought it was hilarious that there was a doll head floating around my room lollll.

 

Chaeri lost her hand last week. Just fell right off one night and I didn't notice it missing till the next day. My entire household started playing "hunt the hand" and it took us all day to find it (in a place we had all looked at least once). The funny part is that Chaeri was sitting on a shelf right above where we found it (I had placed her there during the search) but that wasn't where she'd lost it.

 

I took an older MSD sized doll to a comic convention and at one booth I wanted to pick up something (over forgotten what) but there wasn't a good place to set my doll and I didn't have a bag. So I slung him over my shoulder like a fireman carry, and after a few minutes soom poor person tapped me on the shoulder and pointed at the ground "um, is that half your dolls head?" Turns out his head cap magnets are very weak

 

Once I was on the bus to university at the time I was on the phone talking about dolls to my mom. As I was getting off the bus I noticed the girl two seats in front of me had a BJD in her bag!!

 

I have a new and really funny story to share. I apologize if this is too inappropriate, but it involves male body parts. If it is too much then you can delete this.

So I bought a male Fdoll body for my floating Mihael head and I was so excited for it to arrive! This is my first male doll and I already knew that he is anatomically correct. I let my mom know that it was going to arrive that day. As I am opening the box and carefully removing the bubble wrap from the body, my mom asks me.

:Mom: "He doesn't have a weenie does he?"
:Me: "He does!"
:Mom: "He does NOT!" .."Let me see!"
:Me: Removing the rest of the bubble wrap and brings him to my mom
:Mom: *Gasps* "Why does he have that?"
:Me: "He's a man."
:Mom: "I've never seen a doll with this?" "Why would they put that on him?"
:Me: "He's anatomically correct." "He's supposed to look realistic."
:Mom: "If he's supposed to be realistic then where are his balls?"
:Me: "I don't know." "I guess they wouldn't fit in his pants if they made them."
:Mom: "Does your girl doll have a hole for him to put his _ in?"
:Me: "NO!" "That's not what I bought these dolls for!"
:Mom: "Do they make dolls like these with well "excited male parts?" (not exactly the way she said that, but I'm trying to word this in a less dirty way)
:Me: "I think they actually do."
:Mom: "Who would want that?"
:Me: "Not me."
After I put the head on his body and dressed him. My mom said that he looks sexy...

 

I had my boy Mikami with me, he was on a Luts SSDF body with slidey hands at that time of the incident... i had him with me out for photos and to show coworkers as they asked me they they looked like. so i had him out and was carrying him outside... it was cold with snow on the ground. i wwas walking and looked down. his hand was missing... so i was like.. oh no!!! but with some swears in there too lol. so i retraced my steps and found the hand on the ground. so lucky that i did find it, but after that i ordered some milliput stuff to make it a bit more secure than it was since it was sorta prone to fall off anyways.

scary times... lol. i look back and think now... why didnt i carry him in a bag... wouldnt that have been smart... i even probably had one with me... Scary at the time, funny now since it could have been prevented too.

 

So my one doll, Elizabeth, has a very realistic looking skeleton head (Jungatoy D.skull). She has a wig, eyes, and wears cute clothes-- but some people still find her a little unsettling because of her head.

Well one time I left her sitting out on the dinningroom table at my parents house for an hour or two while I was at the store. By the time I came home she was all over facebook-- apparently my brother and his friends saw her and bugged out, taking pictures and doing that zoom-in meme to her. I laughed pretty hard, not gonna lie.

 

When I was restringing my volks doll my boyfriend came in the room and stared at the doll and then at me and say "why does your doll have a you know what lol" I died

 

It happens frequently that I hold my doll and show it to someone. And they are naturally a little creeped out. Then I often mindlessly just want to show how cool they are about their changeable eyes and wigs, so I focus on the doll, slip the wig fast, open the head and dig out the eyes. And then I hear an 'oh...' and the look on every person's face is priceless... And I start to remember it's a "creepy horror show" and not a "basic maintenance procedure" and apologise the poor friend/guest

 

When my Telesthesia Zhe Bie came, I was unboxing him with my mother and I pulled out a translucent bag not really knowing what it was. On opening, I realized it was a bag of man sized and shaped bits of male anatomy that each had a magnet on them for attaching to the doll. I did not know he was going to come with those and quickly just hid the bag before my mother could find it.

Later, I had been asked about the bag and so took it to a doll meet. There, after completely forgetting about it, I was showing the doll to the other people there while we were all discussing the new dolls we had bought recently and the bag just feel out of my pocket and onto the floor, all pieces in full view of everyone.

 

glad there is a section for this

Agent : Sir we have to open the package standard procedure hope you don't mind
Me : sure thing just be careful the d*** might fell off
Agent : I'm confused
Me : (being naive as I am) these (while flashing a plastic full of detachable JJ for BJD)
Agent : Oh my.... the little man comes with d*** (she proceeds on calling all the staff and they are all giggling)
Me : ok.... can we finish the packaging before he screams harassment on us?

Me : Yes
Partner : Both of you did great now can you remove all of those (referring to the halloween mask and clothes I made for my bjd)
Me : Tomorrow I will let's sleep now

Me : What happen?
Partner : Can you please remove his costume he is cute and all but he looks intimidating I can't sleep what if he came to life tonight?
Me : *burst out laughing* don't worry he won't bite you
I decided to remove his halloween costume as my partner become infuriated with my tease

 

Mine relate to purchasing lucky bags one for a wig and the other for clothes that really, really don't fit the macho elf sculpt...

1. The lucky bag wig was a short, pink, bowl cut


2. I feel the lack of pants really completes the look.

 

I have a few stories, all from quite a while ago.

My first doll came with a slight casting flaw to her elbow, causing it to snap and her arm to fold very easily. This would happen spontateously sometimes and just as it happens, that would usually place her hand in the vicinitly of her face.
One time a friend was over and had just made a joke and the dolls arm snapps and makes her hold her hand over her mouth, as if she was laughing!

On more than one occation the hand would end up in a position as if the doll was picking her nose. I would leave her posed on her shelf, look away for a minute and when I looked back, there she was, doing it again.

The elbow was a very easy fix once I took her apart and looked att the joint, but sometimes I miss that behavior, it was funny.

I have another story, with the same friend as before.
My friend had sat one of their dolls on the edge of a table. This doll was pretty loosely strung and usually needed a bit of supervision when posing, as it did tend to slip and fall, but sitting seemed safe.
Not so. I had just time to notice the doll shifting and not even had time to say something when my friend somehow teleports from the other side of the room and catch the doll halfway to the floor! Never underestimate doll owner reflexes.
