Funny Things You said since getting into the Hobby!

Me: There are two disembodied heads on the kitchen table.

"It was never important to me that they have interchangeable peens."

When I was discussing BJD boy parts with some friends

 

"I said I wasn't going to buy a doll-sized sex toy for my girl but it's way cheaper than buying a boyfriend doll for her." (said to my husband)

 

Me, squinting speculatively at my doll...
"Is your eyeball hitting your brain? Is that what's happening?"

Soom Idealian with one eye that keeps repositioning itself.

 

Having magnets in your hands sure does make it easy to put on a shirt!

 

My husband is actually the one that says things that are funny. My grail for years and years was a Soom Dia and he remembers me talking about it -constantly- back in the day. Now he'll throw in jokes here and there that relate to that sculpt in particular. My main example of this is when I said "Yeah, I assume..." a while back. He looked at me dead in the eyes and replied with "Like a Dia." This man will be the death of me. He also will start talking about my new dolls and say it is a "Double jointed Minifee SD BJD full set with layaway and shipping included" all the time trying to sound like he understands what's going on.

 

"They're not going to curse you just because they don't have eyes."

My sister might be a little afraid of my dolls. lol

 

"Sorry, I've been hot gluing shoulder and elbow joints for a while." when I didn't answer a text right away.

 

This one's more of a thought rather than something said out loud, but here goes—

I keep seeing people mentioning this (I guess?) recently released Yeondu doll (cannot for the life of me remember the company). I have no clue what the actual doll looks like, but do you wanna know what keeps popping into my head whenever I see Yeondu pop up?

"Could it be Yondu from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies?"

I'm pretty sure the two look nothing alike, but it would be interesting if Yondu ever got customized as a bjd.

 

My mom is a big fan of "Your eyeballs came in the mail!" XD

 

Me talking to my mom about BJD facebook

"facebook flags me when I try to ask about selling bodies"

 

Such a good thread, I needed this today!

one night I had a few too many at a Halloween dress up party, I said to my friend “you’d make a great doll”.

A recent boy doll I’m considering that I messaged my husband, he replied what’s that thing sticking out of his undies - um his peepee

 

"How come YOU have the sexiest feet of the bunch, you big boy?"

That's me while measuring all my dolls' feet for shoes. If taken out of context, it sounds pretty dirty. XD

 

"I need to go home and get the body"

My sister didn't even flinch LOL

 

Me to my friend:
"Now he's just sitting naked on my shelf, and HE'S BALD. WHERE IS HIS HAIR"
Me telling me friends about my new doll that just arrived.
&
"You can see his eyes' kind of falling off...Just not sticky enough. I'm going to have to replace it."
Me talking to my friends about my doll's eyes.
&
"I ordered a head."
Me to my dad explaining what I need him to pick up for me.
&
"So I'm going to have a body laying around, and I'm going to sell it..."
Friend burst out in laughter.
I was telling her about how my flying head doesn't fit the body I got for her, I was speaking in a dead serious tone too LOL

 

This one's too good I can't stop laughing

 

"You never know how much lightning reflexes you're capable of until you're about to witness a dolly domino."

 

It really was. My Ani had a kind of shallow ankle joint and my husband, slightly tipsy, bumped him and the string popped right off. He called me half drunk and losing his mind thinking he broke him!

 

"Your feet are too tiny for you to stand!!!"

"AHHHHH your head flew off!"

"Oh my god I LOVE her big butt"

...jesus I sound like a creep!

 

We play modder or serial killer a lot:

"Babe, I swear to god, If her ribcage doesn't sort itself out, I'm cutting it off and redoing it."
"So I'm drilling holes in our paladin tomorrow, and I just want you to know that if it doesn't go according to plan, I am going to have to get her a new butt, and I will be devastated"
ominously singing "the point of no return" while wet sanding in the bathroom
"So all I have to do is cut out her eyes, and this head might be perfect"
"I got the arms, oh my goodness I got the arms. The arms are in my hands right now."
"The naughty head sin bin has claimed another hybrid"
"I guess dismemberment is an option if his joints still suck."
"Do I need to get the boob bucket? I think I'm remaking her chest, but these ones are pretty, so I want to keep them."
(after being asked what's in the pot) "Body soup"

And the classic "the body is almost here, so I just have to wait for heads in customs."

 

“Her other head is in the drawer.”
“Do you think we should plan to replace any other body parts while we are at it?”
“Just pull on the back of her head until you see the hook.”
“Which box did you put the body in?”

the fun never ends

 

Yesterday I attended an online BJD buy and sell event, my mum asked me how did sales go, and I told her: "I sold my first born and used that money to buy 2 Korean pretty boy heads with horrifying eyebrows"

I sold my first ever doll Azariah because he was getting ignored a lot and deserves more love. I bought 2 Switch heads with old-fashioned faceups (the kind that people somehow favored backed in the 00s with the eyebrows super thin, arched and placed way too high) that I wasn't a big fan of and plan to wipe.

 

My daughter (giggling uncontrollably while helping me unbox my first Loong Soul 73cm boy): "OMG, he's a doll...what's he going to do with four spare sets of junk - especially THIS one??"

Me: "......open the world's first dolly escort service...?"

 

sounds like a master plan to me... My gf and I are using them as fridge magnets. With her mods, my girl with that body can't wear them anymore, so they go on the fridge...I'm trying to find an excuse to get the body with the anaconda by DF-H entirely for the fridge

 

Fridge magnets! That's brilliant!

 

"Oh no, his eye went under the couch!!"
"Why are your legs so pretty, but so unrealiable!?"
"Ugh, the inside of her head is purple now."
and my personal favorite "I wonder when my boy is going to come in the mail? I can't wait to touch his face."

 

Probably not the funniest, and more about the situation itself than what was said, but—

There have been a few occasions where I was holding onto one of my guys for one reason or another, and they'd randomly rest their hand on me. Sometimes it's been fairly innocuous, but there have been a few occasions where I think they were trying to be naughty. I've had to tell them to stop it or knock it off when they happened to do that

 

To my girl who's on an Impldoll Starwoman mobility body: "Girl, you should be thankful you're not life size. You have any idea how much proper-fitting bras of your size would cost?"

Context: Out of curiosity, I used the wonders of algebra to scale up my doll's measurements to see what clothes sizes she'd be wearing if she were an actual human. Turns out her "medium" bust size is already knockers-level by normal standards.

 

Browsing BJD clothing online... "oh, $60 USD thats not so bad!"
Me browsing for clothing for myself "this is more than $20?! Heck no, too expensive!"

 

First resin doll came in very recently. I was changing out his eyes and as I was fiddling with it I muttered, “I think his eyes are too big.... I’m going to have to get him smaller eyes...”

My fiancée did a slight double take at that.

 

I got my first doll recently and opened her on the kitchen counter with 4 family members watching me and the first thing I said after completely unboxing her was “oh I don’t like her eyes... hmmm I think I have to decapitate her to get those out and put in some from the tube of eyes...” needless to say they were a lil’ startled

 

Me (to husband, playing online with friends): "There's a doll head in a tupperware in the kitchen."
His gaming group: "WHAT?"
Husband: "Thanks for the warning."

 

Just had a good one today.

At Home Depot
Me: I am also thinking about getting a small drill so I can drill a hole in her head or butt to put a magnet in.
Hubby: ...
Me: ...You know out of context that sounds horrifying.

 

My best recent one: As my partner was walking past the room while I'm talking to the doll I was working on.

Me: "I'm gonna have to take your head off..."
Him: "Why? What did I do this time??"

 

"You know, I feel like I could get addicted to collecting eyes."

 

"I've cut my hands on such eyeballs* before... That's a rare sentence, isn't it?"

*Glass eyes with broken off stems. Got to be careful when touching the backs.

 

Had to go to the customs office and explain that the eyes I bought were in fact resin because the seller forgot to add the product material and they assumed I had just bought some real eyes :'D

 

Can't remember the exact words but my aunt accidentally dropped one of my dolls (no damage, thank god!) and then picked her up and was loudly like "SHE'S GOT NO UNDIES." I think my reply was something along the lines of "Yes, they have sculpted coochie sometimes, don't look at it, that's rude."

 

Me, after getting two fingers injured while struggling to put a floating DF-H head (which has such a narrow neck hole for the s-hook to go through) on another doll's body:

"*spewing out some colorful language* Dammit, Isamu. Why can't you have a decent hole in your head like Guórén or Kimchi?! Why do you hate me so much?! Tell me, TELL ME!"

 

I've been trying to convince Husband that my Doll Chateau girl isn't creepy.

Me: Our cat approves of her. Cat's even rubbed his face against her.

Husband: That Reaper is not indoctrinating our son!
