Meme: Some confession sharing?

I feel guilty and ashamed of owning so many dolls, because I'm so lazy to do things outside my computer even if I really want to do creative bjd stuff and I bought tons of tools and paint already

 

Hi there,
I did both & haven't heard back. I really wanted those clothes for my HID, he's not being needy but his boyfriend gets everything as he's easier to fit.

 

That's... strange? I just looked through the last 20 pages of their Q&A, and there seems to be a response to every message except the most recent ones. Just to be sure, did you click on the response link rather than your original message? (The line below yours should have a blue "RE" mark, and be from "en_manager" if you're on the english version of the site). If you only click on your own, you won't see their response.

I'm only asking because this sounds highly unusual for Iplehouse, but we do try to keep up to date with any issues that might be going on. My apologies if I'm poking my nose where it doesn't belong.

 

I don't have any chill. My hands are shaky, unsteady. The tattoo on my newest doll's neck didn't turn out as great as I'd have liked, so I ended up incorporating it into his story as I couldn't be bothered to remove it and try again.

Also, feeling terribly guilty about doting on my new doll, because I haven't fussed around with my original two in several months. One of them is still in need of several tone and face-up adjustments.

I have this bad habit of wanting accessory dolls...you know? Like, dolls that are part of another's backstory? I had one or two of those before, didn't bond with them much...but now due to my new boy's main characteristic being...uh, a dad, I want a minimum of two accessory dolls as his kids.

Further more, my impulse buying senses are tingling, and I kind of really want an ink black resin ball jointed doll for no reason other than it'd be an interesting colored resin to blush, and it wouldn't stain in the way that annoys the heck out of people.

I've been gone too long. I'm honestly all over the place in this hobby. I need to watch more box openings.

 

After ordering a new doll, I plan the next three and how I'm going to save for them while I wait for them to get here.

It's really a problem.

 

Ahhhh! I just discovered Xaviera, the limited spider-sheep doll by Doll Chateau. Normally not my thing, but I don't know what it is about her. I want her SO badly!
But I don't have $700 to drop on a fullset doll and she's being discontinued next month!
Darn you DC.

 

I have three dolls on the way, but I want to buy two more... I have become obsessed with larger anime style dolls and I love 2D...

 

I think the fullset outfit and default eyes and make up for the Dollmore Vian made her look ugly and chunky. It's one of the uglier fullsets I've ever seen, imo >>

Ironically, both things look better once separated (the outfit looks much better on my friend's doll)

I've also been putting off getting a body for my doll that's shelling my beloved pet who passed away a few years ago. I think the memory of her makes me too sad to think about working on her....

 

... the words "Limited Edition", far from making me impulse buy / want a doll, are a huge turnoff for me. I like to plan my bigger purchases long-term, and usually can't be bothered to even look at LEs because by the time I'd be able to get them they're probably gone anyway.

 

Confession: I hate Azone dolls.....

 

Can't do face ups

 

I hate seeing people sell their old beat up doll for the brand new price just cause it's an expensive hobby .. Same thing applies for doll accessories

 

I want to build a room outside just for me to tinker with my dolls.

 

I did this just the other day.

 

I think I'm guity for only wanting 'hard to attain dolls'. Like, I want a doll and drool over them until I finally purchase them, but once it's here, It's like I'm more in love with wanting a doll, than the actual doll. After finally finding a doll I was TRULY in love with tho, I'm not as bad for this and have made a designated list of seven dolls and I don't think I need more after that.

 

. Perfectly pretty dolls bore me.

.I sometimes wish to have two or three Poopovy Sisters or Serenade girls instead of my current collection.

.I want to make a BJD YouTube channel but am too anxious to do it.

.I'm afraid to have my Minifee Mio repainted but I feel that she's due for a change.

 

I do this with almost everything I buy! Haha I guess it keeps me from getting played though sometimes, plus it's nice to know if the problems get solved or not. Etsy is a big time waster for me when it comes to reading store reviews

 

Personally, I used to hate the chloe sculpt, until i got one for myself

 

Although I think minifees are adorable, I will probably never own one because I don't like how popular they are.

 

I feel guilty for having a favorite doll, but I don't want to say it because I don't want to hurt the others feelings! (She's definitely not my avatar )

 

My doll has sat blank and unclothed for months because I keep forgetting to buy a mask for my MSC and don't want to do anything else until she has a faceup. < _ <

 

I once got a doll and decided not to keep it pretty fast because it wasn't quiet the character I wanted. Selling stuff stresses me out sO I just picked a random person who wanted a doll and didn't have one and gave it away anonymously through a relative of theirs.

 

Oh my, me too
Also I confess that my boy is still naked because I haven't gotten off my lazy butt to actually sew something for him...

 

I only just got my first BJD, completely blank with no wigs or outfits or any accessories... I already want another doll! I don't love my doll any less, but I would love for her to have company. I still feel guilty about it, though.

 

@aestellica I have that same 'problem' the dolls I have now are far from 'finished', yet I keep looking for new ones. It also makes me feel really guilty.

 

My mind bursts with ideas for my girls' clothing... I keep jumping from one project to another,changing my mind partway or wasting time researching/daydreaming more ideas. Because of this they're constantly under dressed/wearing "drafts" that aren't properly fitted. I don't want to share pictures of them until they're "decent" XD

 

I have 5 BJDs and I have never restrung any of them before. I keep pushing it off even though one of them desperately needs it.

 

I don't understand the appeal of Fairyland's Ante sculpt in any size. It just looks... weird to me, and not cute at all...

 

I recently stated that I didn't like dolls with pouty lips then I realised that the one sitting under the Christmas tree (that I picked out) has pretty pouty lips and my possible next doll also has pouty lips. So I guess I do like pouty lips.

I said to my husband yesterday 'I know what my next doll will be.'
He said this should be my catchphrase apparently I say it a lot and they never end up being my next doll.

 

10 of my dolls need face-ups. And I keep forgetting to check which respirator I have so I can buy more filters for it. And I just ordered anther one. I know they're inanimate but I still feel bad.

 

My first jointed doll was a 60cm Obitsu. I have had her for 11 years.
Today I gave her to a lady who loves this hobby but cannot afford a doll, she's had a really hard time lately and is totally deserving.
I hope she likes her.

 

Wow!!!! Bless your heart !! I got a dolly surprise from 2 strangers , one was a complete stranger who was in a fb bjd group , I thought she was kidding but she sent me 2 fashion royalty dolls and some barbies, wigs and more .. I couldn't believe it and made my day! Then another lady sent left the hobby and I bought 3 of her dolls and some bjd accessories + free doll so (4) then I was surprised to receive a peaks wood tiny .. It made me cry!! Bless you ! I still thank them once in a while!

 

Awww sounds like you really appreciated it.I also added a bunch of extras for the lady I gave the doll to, a new mini Obitsu doll, a couple of MH dolls for her to practice customizing on and all the extra parts and heads plus clothes etc for the Obitsu 60 I gave her.
I hope she likes them, she's gone pretty quiet since I dropped them off to her, so I'm not sure what to think :/
I hope the silence means she's busy making doll clothes

 

Yes I really appreciated it, I got my first few BJDs from her ( 2 MNfs for unbelievable price) she sent me the dolls even if I told her to just hold it for me until I finish paying , I was touched that I paid full as soon as I received them hehe (and tons of free clothes even unopened ) I hope she's just busy and writes you back cause it was 11years with you .. She should do! Hehe maybe just really busy ATM

 

I hope so
That's so cool she helped you get your first dolls.

 

I hope she wrote you back to thank you already Yeah I got a total of 5 dolls from her , I'll forever be greatful and will never sell the dolls she gave me hehe (2 were free)

 

I have some dolls that I haven't picked up in years..

 

I don't think I've mentioned that when we moved three years ago, I insisted on taking all my BJDs in the van with us instead of letting them go with the movers and they practically filled the entire back half of the vehicle (in their original boxes). I don't regret it, either, because a lot of the stuff the movers packed got busted somewhere along the way.

 

I once screwed up a doll so badly by attempting to mod it that not only could I not find a seller for him, I couldn't even give him away. He ended up in the trash. ToT

 

I too read the Problem Transactions. I've been very fortunate in my Marketplace transactions but this thread reminds me to stay calm and do my research.

I also confess that I've outline my epic mixed media graphic novel using my dolls as the cast of characters but haven't gotten much further than a plan. I'm in that stuck place of "there's so much to do" that I just procrastinate.

 

I've been following BJDs casually for a decade or so and still only have one to my name -- a graduation gift from my friends!

Gothic lolita takes most of my money..

 

I browsed BJD websites for 16 years before finally buying one. My fear of spending money is insane. But when I took the plunge, did I choose one of the cheaper options? Nope. I fell in love with an Iplehouse EID.

 

I often consider selling three of my dolls just to buy other sculpts I favour more. But then I fall in love with their personalities all over again.
All of my dolls are gifts, and finally, they're all used as characters for novels that I am currently procrastinating on.

 

I haven't sold any of my dolls ever because even though some fall out of favor, even for a long while, I've always come back to them and liked them again at a later date. However, I'm beginning to really wonder if I'd be happier with several fewer dolls. Then I think "Well what's really the big difference between 16 and 13 if I let my least favorite three go. Not that much."
...so I keep them all.

 

I have a doll based off the lead (Miko Mido) from La Blue Girl.
Which is a hentai... I think I am the first for that, I even subjected a fantastic clothes maker to make the outfit and someone to paint the down south details...skimp no details...

 

I'd rather have imperfect dolls but everything self-made than getting company faceups and/or buying expensive accessories (clothes, wigs, eyes ... ) They're not perfect, but I can fix it if something needs fixing. I own one doll with a company faceup and I barely do anything with him, I'm too scared I'll mess him up and can't fix him. Everyone else I could wipe and re-paint.

 

Side note, I love these confessions and can't imagine why people don't like them!

I have two confessions.
-I have Lupus and fibromyalgia so I'm often unable to leave the house or do much because my joints hurt so bad. My fiancé is wonderful and very supportive but sometimes I feel really guilty for spending so much on my first two dolls because I know he would never say no because I have so little to get excited about sometimes.
-I prefer tinies because although I love realistic looking faces and appreciate the artistry, I'm not sure how I would feel about the mature bodies if it was my doll.

 

I have fibro, too. I get the same sorts of guilt feelings all the time. I find the dolls immensely comforting, something I can do at home easily and enjoy.

 

CONFESSION: I am seriously addicted to BJD dolls and have no qualms about spending money on whatever new sculpt I want. There are so many other things I could invest my money in that are more useful, but I love my resin kids!

 

I went into nearly financial ruin 10 years ago over these addictive babies. I quit the hobby cold turkey and hated dolls for several years (although it wasnt their fault). I am in great shape financially now . . . great job, house, etc. and am extremely cautiously venturing back into bjd world.

 

Hahah ikr!! All my dolls are large n when i see friend's tiny dolls they look so cute n like easy to bring around n play with,so sometimes i also have same thought abt selling all my dolls n re start with smaller crew ahhaha

 

Ooooh god so many things...

Most of the collection has pale skin and my socially conscious self is bothered at the lack of diversity. To also be fair I didn't have much choice in the matter for most.

I rarely do any clothing/accessory/eyes/wig swaps unless I'm unhappy/tired with how I have them currently styled.

Even after all these years I still worry sick that any doll I send out for further customization may never be seen again.

There's a tendency to stick to proven favorites in this household. Soom and Eyeco silicone, Leeke wigs and shoes, Iplehouse anything, one face-up artist...

I'd totally love to take my dolls out more often but as with others I'm deterred by the nastier parts of society.

Loose stringing? No problem; I adore the cuddliness of a well-loved doll.

On that note, they're awfully good companions when insomnia kicks in. Wriggling back into bed with the current favorite tucked under an arm is... soothing to me.

I have expensive tastes despite falling below the poverty line. Only the best of the best for my girls.

Related: I'm honestly baffled that there's still so many people in the hobby willing to go for the cheapest option despite vast gaps in both build and sculpt quality; instant gratification is incredibly short-lived.

The lack of someone to directly share this hobby with depresses me, more so when I fear my tastes and character concepts don't really mesh with the average BJD collector.

... and that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

 

I was just shopping for a doll that I don't have.

Hopefully I will have him by the end of this year though....

 

I actually like the smell of mister super clear. What's wrong with me?! I always wear a mask and follow all the protection advices, but when I go away and take it off, and still can smell it from a far distance is so satisfying! Lol, again, what's wrong with me!

 

Confession ... I read some Problem Transaction threads out of curiosity, and now I'm scared of ever selling anything on the MP because what if something goes wrong and I find myself on the receiving end of a thread like that?

Yeah, I'm a chicken.

 

I have had Audrey put together for almost a year now and still haven't made her any clothes because she's just so dog-gone *cute* naked. XD

 

My favorite doll wasn't a carefully planned and thought-out purchase. She was a total impulse buy from DDE.

 

The first doll I ever bought wasn't the doll I originally wanted so I ended up selling him for no good reason.

 

I only bought my first doll because I wanted to buy the pumpkin head she had as an option.

(and I've been struggling to bond with her, because I didn't really want her in the first place --- just that pumpkin! OTL)

 

Del is still nude and in pieces.....
