Hello to everyone~! This is a super late introduction! I've been interested in BJDs and the community for about seven years now. I couldn't ever quite jump in and get started due to a lot of big life changes, moves, and resettles; but I am finally happy to be hunting artists and researching for my first faceup. I am very much looking forward to the journey and beyond excited to finally hit the ground running with my first doll. He is a very special gift from a family member - one of the few folks that really encouraged me to pursue this hobby, and has some experience in it too. My grandmother has also been supportive as a doll collector for several decades, but sadly she doesn't collect BJDs. I live on the west coast in the USA, and I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can while I gather tools, materials, and build an entirely new workspace to house this interest. It's great to meet you all!
Welcome! That's so sweet that a family member gifted your first doll! I hope that you'll share him here
Thank you! It's honestly been the best birthday gift I've ever gotten. Once I get situated and figure out what I'll be doing with him, I'll be thrilled to share him here. It's hard to decide, as I'm discovering that the possibilities feel endless
Welcome to DoA! I hope you really enjoy it here and find what you need and all possible inspiration and this hobby will be very fulfilling for you.
Thank you! So far I'm already loving it here, especially the wealth of information and and inspiration. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface Thank you as well I have Crobi Doll Yeon-Ho. I think the selection made it even more special and personal for me because Crobi was one of the first companies I encountered years ago, and one of the first I decided that I absolutely loved.
Welcome!! I'm so happy you have such an amazing family member that support your hobby! My grandmother helped me buy my first doll, so I know how much it means! Hope you find everything you're looking for around here!
Hello and welcome! Your first doll is really exciting. So lovely you have a family member to encourage you.
