Have you ever found “the One”?

I can see why - your Susu is gorgeous!

I think, unfortunately to my wallet, it happened to me the wrong way around Despite the bad resin match, I find my Doll Legend/Soulkid hybrid the most perfect doll to handle and look at, even so that I ended up selling what I had in my collection previously. However... I then found that I still need friends for her to pose together with so I quickly added more dolls to my collection - none have still stood up to be such an enjoyable combo, though! I definitely measure all dolls against her, even though I very much still enjoy browsing marketplaces.

 

When I was looking around for a new doll to find, as a way to restart my passion in the hobby, I found Coral Reef's Red Queen. She was beautiful, and SO up my alley!!! Dark yet gorgeous, and with that antique and unique vibe that I love. However, I thought it would be impossible for me to get the fullset.

A month later, I find her fullset second hand, at a very reasonable price, and with a faceup that even if not original, it's even more beautiful that the og!!!! She's my "One", no doubt. And I even feel like it was destiny!

 

I did find one, I purchased the one doll that made me realize how much I hated BJD proportions around ten years ago or so, and I never purchased any after him for that long. Even now, after having purchased a BJD more than a year now, I know I wouldn't purchase any larger BJD (if any), because proportions are just not my thing within this genre of dolls. I like ideal proportions that are realistic yet "idealized." The one doll that helped me come to the conclusion I didn't want anything less (I was already arriving at it he just made it that much clearer), is my now long discontinued Fairyland Chicline Rou. He's a mature mini sized doll, standing at barely sixteen inches tall, I prefer smaller dolls, but Chicline were way ahead of their time for these types of dolls (blessing in disguise for me?). The doll I purchased recently was more of an extremely rare FOMO moment for me within this hobby, something I'd never do and will more likely than not, never do ever again (unless Limhwa/EOS and/or DollZone re-release certain sculpts I already own from them but want doubles of to keep untouched/un-modified). I'm grateful every day of my life, I was able to get my CL and don't have to keep hoarding anything but non-resin-plastics for the rest of my life! (;

I only have one full shot of his I can easily access now, but mostly I like realistic yet idealized proportions for my humanoid toys. I feel CL males had that, with a few things I would adjust to better fit my ideal concept of realism (longer/taller hipbone, less deflated-looking trapezius, longer feet, etc.). Things i can't actually change (because I suck!), but otherwise I feel he's pretty much the perfectly proportioned doll for me.

Spoiler: Nude doll, terrible photos.

I found one where he's standing at least, but it's so discretely photoshopped... oh well. DX

 

I think my first doll was actually "the one". I've since gotten more, of course, but when I saw my CP Harang with his precious smile I just knew I had to get him! At the time I was hesitant to get into the hobby and I definitely wasn't in the financial position for it, but I wanted him so bad after seeing the mold at a meet up. And even now after having him for years and adding more to my collection, he's still the bias of the group. He has the most clothes, wigs, photos...everything!

 

For me it was my Dollzone Anson (see avatar). When photos of her were first released by the company, I was completely mesmerized and vowed to have her no matter what. As a flower-based sculpt, she was absolutely unique and way ahead of the times for bjds back at the end of 2010. I literally haunted my doll dealer’s website for days until they finally activated her buy button…and then I struck like a cobra!

I knew she was amazing, but I still wasn’t prepared for how I felt once she arrived home. I’d been collecting for a few years prior to this and had a nice little collection going on at the time. But once she arrived, she so thoroughly eclipsed everything else, they all just felt completely redundant by comparison. Within a short amount of time, I sold off all my preexisting dolls and began rebuilding my collection based around her. Drastic I know, but it was the right decision and I’ve been absolutely thrilled with my collecting ever since. I think she was so out-of-the-box that it allowed me to think outside the box with my own creativity…opening up a whole new dimension of imagination that has allowed me to create the collection of my dreams.

 

I had the opposite happen. A doll came into my life that was so perfect I pivoted, and started to covet only dolls by her artist.

this doll was, of course, Shrike, my first Twigling ingénue. When I bought her, I had a gamine head bouncing around that I hadn’t done anything with. After I took her home, I fell in love with her face and her body, and the way she moved. I now have 6 more full twigling dolls, and 8 twigling hybrids, because I fell so in love with the way they were sculpted. I also think I’m lowkey friends with Reese, the artist behind all these dolls, because I’ve messaged her for heads so many times. And all that happened because someone on Instagram listed an ingenue with a broken knee for sale!

 

I started off with the plan of getting 2-3 dolls relatively quickly and then just spoil the dolls I have for a while. But I am so enamored with my first doll I feel I don't need any more. I still like the idea of interacting characters, setting up scenes with props or making a room-box, and I also want a taller doll I can dress up in different styles, so I'm going to follow though with the plan; but my wishlist dried up quite a bit.

 

I had this feeling with my Pukifee Bonnie (that i unfortunately sold with all my other dolls few years ago on an impulse Still don't know why i did this...)
I took her with me everywhere i went, made a lot of photos of her, i couldn't help it ^^ She was so cute, i melted everytime i looked at her.
I must say i still miss her now, and hope i will find another Pukifee Bonnie one day.

 

I have so many dolls...but I think my "One" is my Soom Elf Dia. He was my first SD, my first new from company doll. I was so nervous buying him. I spent nearly his whole pre-order period on the fence. But every time I look at him, I go "you're perfect the way you are." Everyone else may need this or that changed, or still seems to lack a bit (even Elrond, who is the most spoiled, he's as close to Hugo Weaving I will get because I don't want an actual Hugo Weaving sculpt).

After that, my Withdoll Egon. He was my first MSD purchase and he showed me how amazing some companies can be at creating bodies that pose well without support.

But I still love to collect more elves so loving them hasn't stopped me from loving others hahaha

 

By the number of Alans I have (13 counting orders I haven't received yet), you'd think that would be my one.

Dikadoll Krose. My Cyprian. The first 70+ doll I ever got and the only SD or larger doll I've never wished were smaller. I didn't even particularly like his product photos, but when he was announced as a last chance doll I just had this feeling I'd regret if I didn't get him. I've sold so many dolls because I didn't love them as much as I love him on arrival, and had to finally admit to myself that I love him more than any other doll and can't solely measure the others against him. He doesn't even have a face up yet because I love him so much as is that what if I hate it???

 

I think my answer to this, if pressed, has to be my DDS Anthy Himemiya.

For some reason, once she arrived to me from her previous owner, my need for new dolls seemingly evaporated. I haven't even had the time to break her out of her box, let alone play with her, due to our current living situation, but I already feel that she's some kind of crowning jewel in my collection. It's very strange! I still have my running wishlist for long-planned dolls, of course, but nothing is pinging as "omg must have" anymore like they used to.

Now, I feel like if I'm going to add to my collection again, the doll must both be truly spectacular and add something new that I don't already have.

 

Can I have multiples of The One?

-Amir: AoD Chen, he was my first doll. When I first saw his sales page, I thought he was the one I wanted after years of planning and saving. When I asked for owner pics, I actually cried. Got him home and it was an indescribable feeling holding him for the first time. I almost called in to work just to stay home with him! I've been in the hobby for 16 years now and my home is a revolving door. I'd say the average doll stays maybe a year or so. He's never left me, and I've never considered letting him go, not even in my worst times.

-Twyla: Iplehouse Lahela, she's recent, but I've wanted her for years. I just couldn't make myself justify her price. But she's a character I've had and been building her story with my sister for years (some parts of the story even from childhood), so I finally had the money and just went for it! This girl...omg. She's just perfect. She's gorgeous, there are no words. I feel like I already "know" her inside and out and she's finally complete. I think she's going to be another one that sticks for a very long time.

-Cooper: Migidoll Yujin/Cynical Yujin on Luts Muse body. I've admired the Yujin head for years, and got Cooper about four years ago. He is the only doll I have ever bought multiple heads for, and he has five. He might eventually get more, time will tell. He started out on a Migidoll old body that I didn't are much for, but I put him on that super slim and tall Luts Muse body and it hit hard that he was just perfect. He was supposed to be a minor side character, and he is now one of my two main characters.

-Bren: Migidoll Siho/Luts Senior Delf. Bren started out as an NPC in my RP, he was supposed to stick around for maybe a month then move on and he ended up taking over my entire crew. Almost every human doll I own has some connection to him. I didn't even pick his sculpt! It was a head my sister already had and wanted to sell/trade, and she had offered him to me for a different character. It didn't work out and I planned to sell the head, and just on a whim, decided to try Bren's faceup on him and it was just an instant "he's the one". I knew in that instant, he was staying. The past three years have been spent perfecting him with a nose mod, nose piercing, several faceups, several wigs (one of which I spent 3 hours styling to get it right), and the most expensive wardrobe of all my crew, and yet I still constantly want to get him new clothes and accessories. He also has one of the most expensive props I've ever bought for a doll and he doesn't even use it. But I had to get it for him. He has two heads now, too, his regular skater look, and his goth rocker look. He's a total spoiled brat who wasn't even supposed to ever be shelled, and here he is taking over the house. What an asshole. But he's too perfect for me to be mad about it.

Off topic bonus The One:

-Razzle: Eve Studio Extreme Sphinx cat. Another I couldn't justify the price on for years even though I really wanted him, who was a pain in the ass to get together--I had to die him, about had a meltdown trying to string him, his eyes were missing when I got him and it took about 5 months from order date to finally receiving his eyes and they were the wrong size. Then another 3 months and they still don't fit very well. But he's just so cute and I love that little guy so much. I guess sometimes I bond most with the ones that really need a lot of work, but I'm too motivated to get them perfect than give up!

(You can see all of these on topic dolls in my doll profiles! And you can see Razzle in the background of Turk's profile pics)

 

Justinian (Dollstown Mui, on DT's old 15year boy body) has been my "the one" for a long time and still is. Dollstown as a company, and the Mui sculpt in particular, single-handedly defined a lot of my tastes in BJDs and male dolls. I absolutely adore Mui - it might be selective vision/bias, but I think he's quite unique and I haven't seen any other head sculpt that resembles him. And I still think Dollstown's old 15year boy is incredibly beautiful for a male body -- An Jonghak did use Michelangelo's David statue as inspiration for sculpting this body.

For a while Justinian was the only boy in my collection, I was pretty ruined by him because I couldn't find any male sculpts that was as good-looking or better. I've since gotten other male dolls - they probably look more attractive than Justinian, but they have to be, otherwise they'll get completely eclipsed by him. He has a real hold on my heart, and I love him to bits.

.
Currently my "one" is Oshidori (Joydoll Lai x 2D68girl hybrid), my latest doll. I fell in love with the head sculpt and the body separately, decided to hybrid both together... and I'm quite besotted with the girl I have now. Her body in particular: for a long time I've been quite unimpressed with the sculpting on 1/3 female bodies, but 2D68girl is a masterpiece and answered all of my gripes about female body sculpting.

Oshidori hasn't eclipsed my other dolls, but she's something special in my collection: a womanly woman in an otherwise quite masculine crew. (All males + another girl who's a male head hybrided onto an androgynous female body.) I adore her. The 2D68girl body has become my gold standard for female bodies: I have a feeling I'll have a hard time buying a third girl now, because she'll get compared against Oshidori and probably found wanting. I'm thoroughly biased towards the 2D68girl body -- I think she's the most beautiful girl in BJD world.

 

Well, not in the sense that finding "the one" once for all completed my collection, as you said, because then I would have stopped buying after finding that one doll. But in the sense that I felt after getting this one doll, I would be totally fine if all BJD artists for some reason went poof! and disappeared and I'd never be able to get another one... if that makes sense?

I've had a few grails that made me think that, the first being the original Dollshe Bermann, and the most recent being Rebel Doll Ángel. It's a nice feeling

 

I can't say I have found the "one" yet. I own many dolls but I haven't received that doll that made me say "this is it"!

 

Not “the one” but “the ones” I guess. But if I was about to keep only two dolls and get rid of all the rest I would say that Soom Vesuvia in her original Pearl violet release and Sartoria J Juliet with face up A are the ones that could make me happy and few fulfilled in the hobby.

 

I'm still relatively new to the hobby, so I'm sure my "the one" will eventually change, but right now, I'd say Fairyland Phoeb with her full designer set. I love her so much, and she's what really kicked off my love of bjds.

 

I have found "the one" many, many times. But, I don't obsess nearly as much as I used to and I feel really happy in the presence of my dolls.

 

So far KDF Kai has been the only one that made me feel so strongly that I had to get him. He sorta dragged me down the BJD rabbit hole too. So far, of the other dolls I ordered, I also really like them but they haven't given the same effect as Kai. Maybe because he is my first doll its different?

 

I think so ^w^ My oldest doll, the one I fell in love with first, a hybrid Narae 412, has been "the one" for me for 13 years. She was a lucky find and her joyful expression has helped me go through a lot when I was becoming a young adult and she's the shell that I identify with myself even if she has her own character in her story-line, so I'm very attached to her.

 

yes! as soon as my ap type-s boy came in i've been obsessed with him. i might sell some of my other dolls because they're so neglected in comparison

 

I got my Whale Tower Rafayeh last November and I've basically abandoned all my other dolls since then. She's now the doll in my collection with the most photos, despite being one of the newest, and she's the one that brings me the most comfort when I need a doll friend to hang out with. She's just... perfect.
I feel a little bad, so I do try to take my other dolls out and play with them sometimes, but they just can't beat my cool little dragon buddy! It's getting to the point where I'm debating on whether I should use the money I saved up for SD16 Diamond on her...or on commissioning a plushie of my dragon instead so I can cuddle her even more. It's bad, yall.

 

Mine would have to be DollZone's Little Snow Initially when I first dipped my toe in the hobby I searched on Etsy for dolls and found a Recast for sell. Thanks to the community I was informed about where to buy legit dolls, and while I was disheartened to fall in love with a recast, I found the real model while browsing Alice's collection by surprise and my heart lept!

I was put off by the wait times initially and held off on ordering one for awhile, believing I would move on. A year passed and my partner asked me for gift ideas for Christmas and Little Snow came back to my mind. And like kismet, A_Zuri here had a beautiful tanned resin Little Snow for sale and let me adopt her.

She is my one and only at the moment but it brings me so much joy to have her as a desk companion. She has several wigs, dresses, and a couple of wait listed custom outfits in progress. She really feels like my first love when it comes to dolls. Thanks so much for letting me gush

 

This is a very interesting question that made me think about many things.
On one hand I don't feel maybe like I have found the one, because even at those points where I thought I found the one it did last for so long and then it didn't work out eventually in the end, so then I guess they were not the one? I had a doll for more than 10 years I thought she certainly would be one of the ones but then her sculpt got small for her and I changed it for another doll and kept her character, and this has happened more than that one time. At the same time, if you asked me then I would have said they were the one.
On the other hand, I feel like as years pass I pay less attention to the marketplace or new releases as how I did when I started when I just liked and wanted everything, my head would spin because there was too much stuff to pick one from. I still think there is a phase when getting a new doll that makes that doll the centre or it's the one that you gravitate towards continuously (right now it's my joydoll Lai since I got his body recently and he's complete), but I wouldn't say this is the result of a doll making me like that and more just narrowing over the years what I want or like or I'm looking for when it comes to dolls.
I've also had times when I thought X doll completed the group but then time passes and things change.

I think overall over the years I go on "polishing" my collection and I hope to get to a point where all the dolls I have are the ones. I feel I'm slowly getting there. When I look at the doll after so much time and I still think they're perfect and they have nothing to improve I feel like they're one of "the ones" and I always hope that doesn't change but time will tell.
I usually blame it on new sculpts that look more like what I had in mind originally, or bodies that pose better than what I have. Posing is one of the things that makes me go very quickly from "I thought you were the one" to "nope".

 

Haha, I feel like I’m sharing this everywhere online! Yes, I’ve always had my dreams set on THE one sculpt from Dreamofdoll. No other sculpt has resonated with me as deeply as I-ra, E-an, and Tender E-an. Since the moment I first saw I-ra, you can call it the love of my life in terms of resin children

There has been no other sculpts I truly wanted since I first laid my eyes on I-ra .Unfortunately, when I discovered DOD, she was already sold out a few years prior. I became obsessed with DOD and to my luck E-an was the same but with human ears! I saved up and ordered one and my E-an has been with me ever since, and now I-ra is on her way to me!

I also remember saving up money around the mid-2010s for Tender E-an, only to be heartbroken when I learned they were no longer in business. One day I might chase after this tender moment, even just the head would be fine.

 

In a way, yes! I am very much interested in making more BJD purchases in the future, but I somehow think that nothing can beat Mori 9s Lyra for me. His facial features are exactly what I've longed for in a BJD ever since I got into the hobby.

 

Oh yeah!

I collected for years, and I’ve loved many dolls. Some I consider true works of art, and I’d never give them up. But fairly recently, I fell HARD for ATS Sins Gluttony. The moment I saw him, it was like getting hit by a truck. My first thought was, ‘That’s him. He’s…perfect.’ I haven’t even got him a faceup yet, but I’ve got him propped up next to my bed where I can stare at him. His features are ideal to me.

Will that stop me from buying more dolls? Absolutely not. But if all of my beautiful guys were suddenly made real and brought to life, he’d be the one I’d marry.

 

Yes, but she's off-topic, so I'm posting her with my other dolls.

Shelving dolls

She's on the left. She's 180 cm or six feet tall.
If you told me I could never buy another BJD, I would be OK - cuz I have Iris.

 

Honestly either Iplehouse Felix or the DikaDoll 73cm (v2) body. I loved my Felix the moment I got him and I really fell in love with Iplehouse as a company, so much so I bought a couple more Iples. My original "grail doll" was my Iplehouse Luo whom I also love but I had him as a head only first as that was the only way I could get hold of him secondhand. Felix was my first full Iple - who made me cave and finally search for an EID body for the Luo head.

Now with the DikaDoll body I got that for my Simply Divine Thomas head and although it was a fuss with the color match. I ended up very happy with the doll. I love that body and its poseability, and shape so much that I ended up getting another one for my IOS Anima head. I would probably buy another one in the future too if DikaDoll keeps making it. Also at the time I ordered DikaDoll sent it out in about a fortnight so short wait times ftw!

 

Oh I love my Felix too. So much that I think to get him in mini size as well just because

Spoiler

Iplehouse SID Felix by Victoria, on Flickr

 

@Fyrwenn Awww your Felix is lovely! What I love with Felix also is he can always look so different depending on how he is styled. The faceup on yours is really lovely too… is it the Iple default one? ^^

 

Yeah, it's iple faceup, but I paid just little extra and asked them to paint him like his fashion doll version, so they added a bit of freckles, blush and shades. Still doesn't look like his fashion version, but this look grew on me, so its fine
Felix is very versatile, I always love to see other versions of him, so if you have photo of yours attach too please :3

 

It's been 4 months since my Mina came home... My greatest fear when I made the order was that the novelty would wear off and I would have drifted away from her. But I love her a little more every day, she's so precious... I'll love my other dolls too, or I wouldn't have considered having them, but I feel that Mina will always have a special place in my heart.

 

It's funny to think about it now, but my "the one" doll was really my first BJD ever, a Volks SD10 Kun. Totally standard, straight from the Volks USA Torrance store when they had a physical store you could visit in California with a showroom and everything. I was young and poor and back then all things ABJD was still kind of new and groundbreaking and I had no one else to talk to about it as it really was a super niche thing back then. At the time, I started dating this guy and after a while he asked me, "I have a serious question to ask you. Do you want a piece of jewelry (hints that it was an engagement ring) or do you want to get one of those dolls you've been talking about?" He was a poor college student at the time but saved up some money to buy me just one special thing. I picked the doll.

So we went to the Volks USA store, picked a doll together, picked out her clothes, her shoes, her wig, everything, picked out a name for her together, and brought her to his parents' place where his mom was disappointed we came back with a doll instead of an engagement ring on my hand. At some point, I got the engagement ring and got married and figured we probably would never buy another doll again because the first one was so precious. *coughs* Still with the same guy nearly 20 years later...but we've gotten a few Grail dolls long the way and then some. But that first one. Totally was the one AND I've found the one at the same time too.

 

If there is a Den of Angels post Hall of Fame, this one belongs in it.
This was an absolute joy to read. Thank you!

 

I'll be boring. Yuxiu from Doll Family-A. All other dolls somehow withered and I come back to her just to look at her. I will get her eventually.

 

The closest thing to it is Doll Chateau's K-body-07 (their bodies in general, really), but that's not a full doll and it hasn't made me quit buying dolls.
All of my dolls are "ones" in a way, because I love and bought them for specific reasons. Each of them fills a particular niche in my heart.
Sometimes, however, I hope that one day I find "the one(s)" that make me sell all my other dolls, because I enjoy the idea of dedicating my whole attention to a single or couple of dolls at most. I don't think it will ever happen, though.

 

It was Aletheia from notdoll I loved that face so much I got 2 of them but I am not very fond of her now cause she "is" a vampire and has fangs the fact is the fangs are so small and barely noticeable and she in the cute side like a kid dressed up in halloween costume , even with them has nothing to do with those scary vampire sculpts of today but I can't take them I decided anything even a bit monster like don't belong in my collection this means any monster high , tonner fantasy or whatever has to go , same with fantasy parts etc , I have a list of people interested in both my aletheias so they won't go up here but I still debate them it's the only "monstery" types I would like to stay here if only I could paint the fangs over and make them not visible but I hesitate as I think that I'll make a mess cause me and brushes we don't go well together.
So short story it was Aletheia from notdoll and it would still be if it wasn't of her tiny fangs

 

For me the doll that I view as my “the one” has to be my Iplehouse nYID Rexy. When she arrived it was like coming face to face with perfection. The negatives about her sculpting that exist don’t bother me because she is just perfect otherwise.

I find that I want to get more dolls to go with her to fill out the world at which she has become the centre. New dolls are considered in how they relate to her. My minis are her d&d/fantasy world characters. I’ve even considered getting an Iplehouse Cordelia because of the facial similarities but the JID body just doesn’t look as nice as the nYID.

I think finding your perfect doll is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because you love them so much but a curse in that other dolls never quite measure up. Although I also find that I love each of my dolls differently. My love for Rexy is intense but I also adore my other dolls for various reasons they just don’t have that same it factor that makes me gravitate towards focusing on them as much as my Rexy.

 

My telestesia and dragon 1/4 mu yunjun is my only doll rn (I’m waiting for doll zone xiao chu though) and I think he’s “the one.” He was the doll that I loved enough to get into the hobby. Now that I have him he’s absolutely perfect and I’m so happy I got him.

 

When I received my Iplehouse Lonnie, I was like immediately wanting more of her. So comes my Lonnie twins, and Reese because she's a rare doll with fantasy part.....and then a minifee since I've bought so many minifee clothes to fit Iplehouse kid (sadly some only fit minifee) and now a dodollsdream miss marionette because I love her colours. But always Lonnies are my favourites and if I have money, I would definitely buy Lonnie in other skin (Iplehouse's skin colours are also amazing)

 

I fear I may well have just done that with my Dollstown Rhea/DF-H hybrid as she has completely changed the way I now look at some of my larger dolls. Not the tinies though as you can’t really draw any comparisons there.
She has particularly affected my relationship with the couple of minifee I have.

 

Ravi, my modded DC Hugh is quite literally "the One". I always loved Hugh since the first time DC posted blanks of him and Bella, their very first dolls, and I was one of the first people to order one at the time, I want to believe. That Hugh stayed with me for a really long time, but due to falling outs (at the time, it got better) and stresses, and everything changing around me he was one of the dolls that were sold as I couldn't connect with him anymore at the time and I was extremely frustrated with the state of my collection.

Cue r e g r e t. But I also happen to be very sentimental so I didn't want to buy another Hugh. As a matter of fact, I refused to buy another Hugh because I knew he wouldn't be the same. And then a friend posted on Instagram that sometimes they wished they would find the conviction to sell their dolls and move on from the hobby as it didn't give them satisfaction any longer, to which I jokingly replied that if they ever did would they consider selling me their Hugh as he was one of the first dolls owned by someone else that I actually fell in love with and had been following for years. (keep in mind it was obvious I was joking, I would never ask someone to sell their dolls to me).

Next day I wake up to them messaging me 'actually, I could never picture him going to be with anyone else, if you want him I will sell him to you'. It was like something clicked, like the stars aligned, I can't explain it otherwise. The timing of it all, everything that came before, everything that followed... My collection would literally not have been the same if it weren't for him.

 

Blue, my Delf Soony, will always be "The One" for me. She is perfection. She was my holy grail doll and she really didn't disappoint. I'm also very, very attached to her now from years of showering her with attention and gifts (like, way more than any other doll I've owned). Every so often I go through a phase where I seriously consider selling all my other dolls and just keeping her, because I love her so much more. But in the end I always decide that it's fun to have a variety.

But yeah, I don't think another doll will ever beat her. And I'm happy about that. It's nice to have that one special doll.

 

My Sebastián: Loong Soul Lunar Mansions-Leopard Ji Shui Bao, and this was unexpected. Honestly, I thought it would be my grail doll Tristan: Soom Gluino, and I do adore him. I look over and see him and am happy I have him after so many years of wanting him.

My Sebastián though, he is just... je ne sais quoi. I can't even. I look over he makes me smile every time I see him. He just cheers me up in a way that none of the other dolls do. I can't look at him and not smile back. He wasn't even supposed to be that cheerful, but he is. I have had other dolls come home since him, and they made it onto a shelf, but he has not. I just can't put him up next to the other dolls. He just brings so much good joy!
