    2. Currently~ Green Lantern: The Animated Series. I am loving all the characters~
      NO ONE say anything about that Ryan Reynolds flop. It's totally unrelated other than the characters and franchise. >_> The show I currently love and have OTPs from is a 3D animated cartoon. It's quality story telling, and people are dying because of feels. You guys are going to love it. Giancarlo Volpe (worked on Avatar: The Last Airbender) is the director.

    7. Mainly clothes. And not even the cheap kind, I only seem to ever fall in love with the outfits that are like, $50 or so. man, when I finally get my girl ... I can already hear my wallet weeping. :sweat

      otherwise, in-scale props, such as toys and furniture. My tinies have their own little doll couch and a chair(That was originally a cell phone chair I got at Claire's for five bucks). They also have a bunch of Mini Lalaloopsy's to play with.

    10. I have way more sets of eyes then I'll ever need! I love buying them, trying them out
      Also, making jewelry for my dolls. It's a nice stress relief to do too so they have more bling then they can possibly wear and I feel better! ^_^

    12. Wigs... or eyes? Eyes are the thing most likely to sneak into an order when I didn't intend to get any, but wigs are more likely to be the reason I'm making the order in the first place.
      (...Oh hey, LeekeWorld has some new limited colors out...)

    14. photographically i'm obsessed with detail/macro shots, especially of doll hands, feet, lips and eyes.

      stye-wise, although i own some very beautiful long-hair wigs, the majority of my dolls wear short style wigs. this is partly for convenience (so many less flyaways) and partly because i like short hair aesthetically more than long hair, unless i think the doll in question is the kind of character who would keep or prefer to have long hair. wigs are also the doll accessory that i buy the most and pay the most attention to.

    22. I'm obsessed with buying eyes and dresses. I only have two pairs of eyes not being worn now (I have many acrylic ones that came with my dolls, but I don't use acrylic) but I have 3 more pairs coming in just because LOL. As for dresses, most of my girls are feminine (Besides Baella, but she still wears a skirt) so I have tons of dresses for them because they just look too cute in them <3 Oh, and socks. I have socks and stockings coming out of my ears. Every single one of my dolls wears socks or stockings, and if I ever see a cute pair I don't own yet, you can bet I'm going to snatch it up. :)

      AND
      Wavy soft wigs. I test wigs by patting them. They score the highest if they're pleasing to my palm XD

    28. Well, my cloth collection pre-dates my discovery of BJDs by two decades. I have A LOT of cloth, and yet, not enough, because I keep buying more... and I really need to get to Joann's fabric before they sell out of that amazing black red silk, which would make SUCH a great 1960's Hollywood glamour girl dress.

      Clothes? My first doll has, at a guess, 30 outfits. Oh, and eyes, and shoes, and jewelry to go with each outfit , of course, and wigs, and furniture.

      Props... I just scored 7 tiny cap guns that are cast metal with working triggers. I cut them off of the key rings they came on, filed the bottoms smooth, and painted them them black, and gave them a high gloss varnish. Why 7? Because they had 7 different kinds of course!

      Trees... they have bonsai.

      Stones, I have been collecting fist sized rocks from a stream for two years... eventually I plan to build them their own house.

      Oh , and books... little handmade books from Tibet that are just 4cm tall, that I get at a local Global Free Trade shop, they are blank, and I write my dollies favorite poems in them. They are like candy, I can't resist buying them, EVERY time I go into that store.

    33. I am obsessed with finding character-specific accessories for my dolls. Most of them have at least one item that is very special to them or simply completes their signature looks. For Yael it was his Mickey Mouse ears for example, for May I hunted around forever for the perfect gasmask and assault rifles and for his brother Ravel, who's not even here yet, I am already dreaming of a 1/3 sized tattoo gun and tiny latex gloves (ha, as if) and butcher knives.

    37. My major umbrella hobby is that I'm a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, or the SCA. Within that group I do a lot of period costuming, period cooking, knitting, viking whip-cord, archery, cheese making... about a thousand different crafts. It's a fantastic organization if you love history and would also love the excuse to get into a million different hobbies.

    38. Wigs ... I love to see how they can instantly change the personality of a doll. But ... it goes in cycles too. Sometimes a wig binge, sometimes a period costume binge, sometimes props for a diorama binge. My latest one is a 'pet' binge ... toy animals that will make good companions for the dolls. ... always some kind of binge. :)

    41. I'm obsessed with taking photographs of my BJDs! I seriously think I would buy BJDs just so I could take pictures of them. I love making them seem real, like they have their own thoughts and feelings. For accessories, I buy more wigs than just about anything else, but I am obsessed with the look of urethane eyes. I can't wait to get my hands on a couple more pairs.

    46. I'm obsessed with buying doll wigs. I keep trying to get my boy doll a wig that's not blonde (at this rate I'm afraid all my dolls will end up blonde)... But nothing else looks right so keep buying more. xP My other doll can't wear them either because she's an MSD. I'd sell them but I keep telling myself, "oh you'll regret it... Watch you'll buy another doll in summer/watch your pre-order doll will arrive and you'll need those wigs..."

    55. I have a problem with old, cute, limited outfits from Volks, Dollheart, and Volks x Baby the Stars Shine Bright. I've been in the hobby for nine years now and I have this compulsion to finally collect all the things I missed out on when I was too young to buy them. Sadly, most of them are girl outfits, so my boys' wardrobe is sorely lacking! I gotta get it under control, lol~
