Introduction: Hello, Den of Angels!

Jan 30, 2025

    1. You can call me River!

      I'm not completely new to this hobby, but still a newbie anyways haha.

      I've been fascinated with BJDs since I was 10 years old (2016-2017) but my family couldn't affort me one so I just kinda forgot about their existence after 2-3 years to "grow up" and focus on studying. Up until now, I have my own job which can support my hobbies, daily life and stuffs, I finally have spare money to affort one (or more)! However, my favourite brand has been collapsed (Yeah, it's DoD...) and it's such a bummer, affording one is nearly impossible now(ಥ﹏ಥ).

      Btw, MSD white skin is my favourite selection. My first doll is from Gem of Doll, and her head model is Coco. She's actually unplanned, but I still love her so much! I'm waiting for the second, which is a MSD Cornflower from Coral Reef, to arrive this Feb/March.

      I intend to handmade all of their face-ups, clothes and wigs. It's kinda time-consuming but it makes me feel like love them more and more everyday.

      Nice to meet you guys! Looking forward to see other beautiful dolls up here! ♡(ミ ᵕ ﻌ ᵕ ミ)ノ

    2. Hi ^-^

      I see dream of doll come up all the time on IG by the seller @bjdtbtbros and in fact have seven up for sale on there now. Their prices are about average for MP in most cases I find.

      Anyhow, welcome to the party ^-^ I've been collecting since 2006 and my collection has had changeover as things advanced in the hobby so it's a completely different landscape now ^-^ There's a pretty big community on IG as well~

    3. it's true, back to 2016-2017, most of the BJD collectors I knew were Vkei or anime fans, but now as the community is more large and easy to reach, they are much more dynamic, even in my local area.

      BTW, thank you for your recommendation of D.O.D's dealer! Their price is pretty out of my budget right now but I definitely will save up and buy one when time has come. D.O.D is literally my youth it would be such a waste if I couldn't have one in my life.
       
    4. Hello and welcome! I'm new to the hobby too, and my first BJD is also Coco from Gem of Doll. She has a lovely face sculpt - I'd love to see what you end up doing with yours! Do you have any plans for her or your upcoming Cornflower yet?

    5. Hi! I'm so glad to see another Coco's owner here (*≧∀≦*) My first priority right now is to make a new wig for Coco first 'cause she has been bald for a while, and after that I'd try to sew some dresses for her. Cornflower hasn't arrived, yet I need his accurate body measurement before doing anything for him since his proportion is slightly different from regular MSD dolls (he's 5% bigger I suppose?). But maybe I'll try learning to face-up on my old dolls so when he's arrived I can draw his face myself!
