Funny Things You said since getting into the Hobby!

Oh my gosh these are all so hilarious!
My most recent was talking to my friend at lunch which got me some weird looks from other tables.
I was talking about buying Meg the wrong outfit and making it work and I said

'she can just sit in the box naked like a good girl until I figure it out and her head comes back!'
The looks man. The looks!

 

She looks better after I've put her eyes in!

 

I have to take the eyes out.
I just sold my head!
Stop flashing me!

 

I just made a bloodbank (special bjd) for my vampires. They call him BB.

 

I recall one time whilst restringing my yo-sd I said "Yeet skeet, I've lost yo feet" >_>

 

"The body came in the mail today, but it was in pieces."
"Yeah, his head went missing on the way back from England."
"Still looking for a pair of hands."
Basically I sound like a serial killer LOL

 

The other day, an exchange between my sister and I, me needing to make a wig modeled on her girl while she wanted to use one of my boys as a model for pattern drafting--

"Did you want that severed head today?"
"I'm not ready for it yet, but I was going to get you a body!"

Meanwhile, Youngest Sibling (not on the forum) needed to measure a hand for small-scale prop-making... so we also called back and forth a bit about where we were leaving the detached hand (and of course the predictable puns...)

 

Planning a hybrid for one of my characters, I bought an April Story body (because they're discontinuing the body soon)

Me: I got his body, now I just need to give him head
Friend: You WHAT??

 

Not a good idea to read this while at work XoX Welp, here's my most weird phrases (according to my sister)
Also, sorry for the language used >_< :

"I don't know what those loops are for but I think they keep the hands and feet from falling apart"

"Well shit, I'll have to fill in the hole in his ass"

"Have you seen the hook? I left it near his crotch"

"Even taking his head off is a pain in the ass."

"Hold his arm and torso while I hook his hand back on"

"I got my new boy in the mail!"

 

I have found that, since getting into the hobby, I sometimes accidentally refer to makeup as faceups. And the other day, I got a sunburn on my shoulders, and thought to myself " maybe it'll tan into nice body blushing".

 

"Dave's got a body in the mail now."
"Not in a creepy way!"


"I mean, I got (that kind of) eyes for Ricky, and I'm so happy with them!"
-My sister, on that one (there was a lot of eye talk-- mostly specifics on how much white should show around the iris)

 

Running into other owners at conventions.

"You have babies?! We have babies too!"

 

"Lemme tell you, you haven't cleaned an ear until you've spent three hours scrubbing one with ten years of gunk ground in it."

"No Mom, Toshi is the one without a body. But he's sharing with Aelic, so I can still buy him clothes."

 

Me: I'm still waiting for a head in the mail.
Friend: So this is your first time ordering body parts in the mail?

My mom: His nose is too pointy for a young boy.. Can we shave it down?

Me: Now I have to show you my headless horseman. (BJD that didn't have a head yet.)
Friend: Uhh.. No thank you...

Friend: Why's it so dark in here?
Me: Because.. Those guys over there can't be in sunlight, they're vampires.

Mom: You can order them with three different breast sizes.. And the large ones are HUGE!

Sure leads to hilarious conversations.

 

Me, browsing bjd websites: "AHwww look at this little babe!!"

 

(I was taking some more comparison photos tonight.)

"I don't know what's going on with your arm, but put that back where it belongs."

"Stop smirking at me - I'm not undressing you because I want to."

"Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to have to decapitate you two. ...Again."

"Sorry, but I figure your clothes will be easier to put back on."

"I forgot about the clawed hands!"

"I just need to borrow him for a photo, it won't take long." Followed shortly by,
"Thank you for your cooperation. We can put your pants back on now."

"Why do you all have so many laces?! This is why I had velcro shoes as a kid!"

"Clawed hands and a mesh shirt. Not one of my smarter plans."

 

"My new son got here while I was out of town. I hope he enjoys being stuck in a box for a few days."

(At the fabric store...)
Me: "Okay, we need a cotton jersey knit for relaxing pants for Taiki."
Mom: "He'd like suede pants."
Me: "Cotton jersey knit."
Mom: "Leather pants."
Me: "Cotton jersey knit."
Mom: "SEQUINED PANTS."
Me: "COTTON. JERSEY. KNIT."

(She will never come to the fabric store with me again. I did eventually get my cotton jersey knit in black and without a rainbow sequin in sight.)

 

"No way I can afford her yet. I'll probably just get a box off heads to tide me over."

 

"He's not wearing a penis right now because it keeps falling off. He needs underpants to catch it."

"I think her boobs are bigger than her head."

me: "What part of 'male' is unclear to you? I mean, the beard should've given you a clue, right?"
mother's friend: "Well, aren't most of these dolls gay?"
me: "No, and even if they were, 'gay' and 'male' aren't mutually exclusive."
mother's friend: "They all look like girls to me."

 

Me: I've never taken Ilya out in public before, this will be a first!
Mom: Oh, really?
Me: Yeah, I usually take Aelic. Or Toshi's head on Aelic's body.
Mom: ...I see-
Me: Aelic's body gets around.

 

"Okay, I'm done. You can pull your pants back up." - Me after I finished taking some measurements of my boy.

 

"Wait, so that one is the body, and that's the girl... so who the heck is in that box?"

"Okay, fine, you feet can go in the bag of hands too."

"How did I end up with an entire drawer of appendages?"

 

When discussing with my non-hobbyist bestie:

Bestie: Hm... I could use them as drawing models... I could save up for a small one. Maybe two, a boy and a girl... Though I'm not good at sewing.

Me: OAO I WILL MAKE YOU CLOTHES AND MAIL THEM.

Bestie: *goes to fave company's website*

Me: You can make them into *character name*

Bestie: I might.

Me: Doit. DOIT. DOIT.


Also:

Me: *browsing doll sites* Hey? Remember how I said I was saving up? There's this really cute-

Bestie: I will stop drawing your story illustration if you hit that buy button.

Me: 8'D Thanks.

 

"What do you want for Christmas?"
"New feet!"

My mom, the first time she'd seen my doll and after I took her head off to put on a different shirt;
"Oh my god! You can't do that with babies!"

And of course there's the "Her leg just fell off! Ugh, could someone help me for a sec?"

Last one, when I unboxed my second doll, my friend was at my house to see the doll, but someone else was their with their baby, so the whole time I was opening her my friend was saying stuff such as "She's so perfect!" "She's so big!" "I love her so much!!" about the baby and I was saying the exact same things about the doll, not caring about the baby

 

"You're going to be home tomorrow right? ...Because my head is coming in the mail then and I don't want it to stay out in the mailbox for long when it's this hot."

 

"What're you waiting for?"

"A head and some eyeballs!"

 

"Okay, listen, I'm going to need you to keep your wig on for me. I know you don't like it, but it's annoying if you knock it off every 5 minutes." - Me talking to Ian as if he was an actual person. Oddly enough, he's kept his wig on more after that talking to?

 

Me, while restringing a doll for the first time: "Can you please help me reassemble this body? He won't stop squirming and I can't get his hand back on!"

 

Me, buying my first neko set today: *Singing too myself with mom looking at me oddly as I walk down the street* Ive got ears and a Taaaail! Ive got ears and a taaaail!

 

"Hmm... he needs more bruises. Here, hold this, I'm taking his legs off for that"
"She's pretty naked right now. She doesn't even have underpants on"
When posing: "stop twisting your head backwards!"

 

Literally this afternoon after my bestie decided on her first doll (I've converted her. >83)

Bestie: *browsing doll stuff*

Me: *openly encouraging*

Bestie: Your enjoying that you converted me aren't you?

Me: I knew I'd find a way!

 

"Ugh, he needs new hands."

"Popping off his head is such a pain!"

"This stringing is driving me bonkers, someone strong come over here and give him a good tug."

"Chi, stop pinching my fingers in your knee joints, this is because I neutered you by modding your bits, isn't it?"

"@#&$! Chi! Seriously, dude, why? Is this still about your bits? That was a week ago, stop kicking me while I'm trying to put your pants on!"

"Oh great, your head just fell off again. I think you need a different hook there, buddy. This one just isn't working for you. Jeesh, I feel like an executioner with a family of French royals working with you today, that is how many times your head has fallen off."

"I'm just gonna pop your eyes out here and remove your head, stop trying to kick me in the stomach while I'm doing this."

"Keep kicking me while I'm trying to remove your head for a faceup and I'll give you the girliest pout that I can manage. And don't think I won't, your head sculpt does go on a female body nicely."

"Hey, Mom, can you fend off the questioning families so I can get these shots in peace, please?"

 

"Hey. So I put her eyes back in really haphazardly. They might fall into her head."

 

Me: "So I was washing off a pair of eyes and one got away, rolled under the door, and scared a spider."
Mom: "I'd be scared too, if I saw a giant eyeball rolling at me."

 

When my friend introduced me to BJDs, I was set on only buying ONE. She laughed and told me "that's what everyone says". Now here I am wth two dolls and plans to buy even more XD

 

"SAVED BY THE PANTIES!"

Context: Guórén suddenly took a topple, but he faceplanted on a pile of clean underwear instead of on the hard floor, thus cushioning his face and preventing any serious mishap.

 

"I need to save for a new body for my girl~"

 

Are his eyes in straight?

 

"I need to buy a body online!" Well, that definitely doesn't sound morbid.

 

My standard euphemism for pantsless boy dolls is "Is he Jewish?"

 

"Oh no he lost a nipple."

One of my dolls got some blushing scraped off his nip in transit once. D;

 

"I have a sack of eyes."

...my plastic bag stuffed with acrylic eyes. Um. Please nobody point it out to my roommate. I don't think she's noticed and it would probably weird her out and she's too polite to say anything...

 

"Yay my head came and my jointed hands!"
"$18 for a pair of BJD shoes great deal"(considering you could get shoes for that much)
casually restrings him while friend is talking to me.

 

"She's wearing his spare eyeballs 'til her own pair arrives."

...now they're sounding like the Graeae, aren't they?

 

I got my luts order on thursday and it was my first time getting a 65cm doll. But I couldn't help thinking his feet and his boy bit were hideous. Lol but I brought him to my husband to show him how big the whole doll was.
"Honey, it's the big boy!"
"What?... Oh. Oh my anaconda."
XD

 

So, my first boy doll was a Christmas gift from my dad, and he was a Doll Chateau Mephisto. Of course, there was hesitation because of the fact that they were anatomically correct, but he caved, and I was blessed with my dream boy.

So, I finally get the package, and I sit with my grandmother during the box opening... I didn't realize that his to-be-censored bits were also jointed. So, of course, I flip it straight up and we die laughing. After I point out to my grandmother and we have a good laugh, I have to catch my Maylin, who is his partner, from falling down.

And what comes out of my sweet, sixty-year-old, Christian, mild-mannered grandmother's mouth? "Look how excited they are to see each other!"

 

"he needs a body... But I've already bought his trousers!"

"His head came! Now where did I put his eyes?"

"I need to order some new eyes, these just aren't working for me"

Me: "ouch!"
Mum: "what is it?!"
Me: " he's strung way too tight .... He just kicked me in the crotch..."

 

" Why does my brother always peek under all my female doll's skirts..What the heck. "
When I look at pictures of me with my doll holding them I think about how my doll's face looks like its saying " Please kill me. " Lmao!!

 

One day I just casually said "I pulled off his [man parts] so I could put his pants on." To my friend who is also into the hobby - fortunately it was in Chinese, otherwise I could have imagined the horrified looks I'd receive from other people!!

Also, my off-topic Vindoll has the tendency of having his arms randomly falling off, so I would be saying to my doll friends: "The other day Amos's arm fell off again when I was dressing him." It sounds so scary out of context!

 

"Come to grandma! You're mom made you go out into the cold again didn't she?" - My mom while taking Avalon from me after a snow photoshoot. He got absolutely covered in snow and his clothes were soaking. She was dusting him off and fixing his hair.
It was adorable.

 

"oh let me look inside the head!"
me, when I got my new luts boy and had yet to take a look on the inside.

"Oh yeah I have some heads laying around" my gf.

 

"Yep, that's an aftermarket (lady part)!" In response to my husband pointing out the crooked, carved-not-molded look of the anatomy on one of my older ResinSoul girls.

 

Gave a friend a head yesterday and asked if she wanted a "free head" sounds so wrong in my.mind

 

Me: *Looking at LS ZhuZhao's promo pics* Oh boy, if I order him, he comes with extra "parts", right? Geez, Adhara would love to play with those.
Husband: You realize that sounds so wrong, considering that Adhara is supposed to be his mother?
Me: Or y'know, his father would love to borrow those.
Husband: ...
Me: ...that sounds even more wrong, doesn't it?

 

"Only $500? That's so cheap for a full set!"

 

"I fell in love with the head"
This sounds so wrong out of context XD

 

"Okay, so it looks like the body is in New York now. I think we'll probably be okay."

(while tracking the shipment of a doll body that I was worried might come while I wasn't in town.)

 

"got my new head now i just need eyes"

i still have some floating heads laying around

 

"The big boys under my bed are waiting for me" Since I store my 70cm dolls in they boxes under my bed ^^'

 

I call mine big boys too XD
