    2. My first doll was Alice, a WS AoD ZiYuan. She'll be with me 3 years this September. I used to "play" with her more, but these days she spends most of her time just sitting pretty on my shelf with my other 1/3s. But I still love her. <3 She came with an all-pink company faceup, which kinda worked with her first dress, but I've since changed around the eyes/eyebrows. The first pic is from when I first got her, and the second is from a few months ago. Can you believe she's only had one wig all this time?! XD

      Prima, my Obitsu Gretel. I bought her on impulse off of ebay with absolutely no knowledge of BJDs. Then of course I got obsessed with them. I now have *cough*aboutforty*cough*, from all different manufacturers, all price ranges. She is still my favorite and the closest doll to my heart. I would sell every other doll I own before I sold her. A "trade secret" in the BJD world is that the Gretel head was sculpted by Rainman. Since I think Soah is the most beautiful doll in the world, maybe that's why I like my Gretel so much.

    6. I love this thread! It is so sweet seeing everyone's firsts! I just smiled through 3 pages, and I was so tickled by your post Starzzz, I love how smitten you are with your gorgeous girl.
      And I might add I am so impressed by the size of everybody's firsts! I was too scared, my first was a little mite, also sculpted by the amazing inimitable Rainman, a Fairy Elf Adel, I think she is five now, and you will have to pry her from my cold dead hands. This is Esme, named for my baby daughter, when I was looking at them on the computer she said "get the pink one Mommy", so Esme has my daughter's middle name for her name.

      My first doll, BE, is a CP BW El. I've never once regretted getting an El as my first doll. I'm still a bit smitten with CP sculpts. X3 My next doll coming in is another Delf too.
      I'll have had BE for three years this August! And yes, he is fending off a handfull of pills. XD;; It was a fun little shoot ...

    9. Aww! I loved reading how long some of you guys have had your first dolls for!
      My first doll was a PKF "Ante," who I named Teagan. I'd originally ordered a Shiwoo and snagged a spare Ante faceplate from someone on Flickr, but when Shiwoo got here, I didn't like her that much. So Shiwoo's plates went, and Ante stayed! :)
      Anyway, here she is in the first few days (weeks?) that I had her:
      [​IMG]

      And here she is now!:
      [​IMG]
      ETA; D'oh! I forgot to say how long I've had her. She's been with me for a little over ten months, now :)

      She's gone through many face-ups, many wigs, many clothes, and some damage and odd colors (she was stained purple by acetone once o.o). This is her now, pretty with her face-up and new tan, and hopefully she'll stay this way for quite a while ^^

He's been to Puerto Rico, Italy and Spain (school international club trip), and goes to school with me at least once a week for my students to hold and love.

      My first doll was Makenshi, an Abio Angel Er that I bought from a local doll owner (and now my best friend xD) in November 2008. I love him just as much now as I did when I first got him. He was the first BJD I'd ever seen in person so he really shocked me with how amazing he was! (BJD are always better in person :))

      This was from when I first got him home:
      [​IMG]

      And this is about half a year later after I just got him new eyes and made him a new wig.
      [​IMG]

      He still looks just like this, though I've repaired his eyeliner around his eye since then. I could never get it redone though. Being separated from him would kill me. *_* And knowing he's been taken apart and changed...I would have a stroke. xD Any of my other dolls it wouldn't bother me, but Makenshi is special that way. I've never taken him apart more than to just change his eyes. ^^;

      Well, I'll count both of them.
      The first piece of resin I got my hands on was a floating head... An OOAK modded MNF ShuShu head. Well, she still is a floating head and when I get her all together as a whole I'm going to count her as my first doll.

      But for now, I'm counting this girl, my KDF Summery '10, as my first doll... She is my first "full" doll and I just got her a week or so ago~

      They're both quite safe from being sold, since Bitter (the Kid Delf) was an event gift. A lot of people sell event gifts when they have no use for them, but I personally think it's rude to give away or sell a gift. I bought Pandemic (the head) as she is, with the mods and faceup already, so they weren't by me, and I'd never be able to sell another artist's work. And even if they weren't special like that, I'd never dream of selling my first dolls~

    42. I was crazy and actually bought two dolls within a week of each other when I got into the hobby. They were to be my siblings, so I had to buy both of them so they could have someone to hang out with and not be lonely. As my Juri '05 was bought from Luts, it was my Lovelyhouse Shin-Ma from Ebay that arrived first. I bought his head, then the Juri, and then the Customhouse body for the Shin-Ma. He's been with me 4 1/2 years now and has gone through face up changes, hair changes, a nose job, and a major identity crisis. He started life as my character Kilian, but now has changed to a different character, Illymar.

      Here he is as I got him:

      Then he changed wigs (as that wig had been for his sister):

      And changed it again:
