Your most expensive doll

Ahaha, this old comment of mine (two years ago)...wow, I can't believe I went past the point where Gavin was my most expensive, but now, hands down, my Enaibi Briséis is the priciest doll in my collection, costing me just short of $1,800. Here's hoping I never spend THAT much on a doll again (though, she's totally worth it!). @.@;

 

My most expensive doll?, an Iplehouse Carina, I bought her extra hands, a wig, and shoes, and including shipping I think it was about $879 USD.

I am hoping to order a light tan Iplehouse Kamau later this month,( with extra geta feet and extra hands shaped to hold a sword and gun), and I have a terrible feeling he is going to cost me well over $1000 by the time shipping is added.

So mind blowingly expensive, but SO worth the price...

I find that if I think of them as sculpture, a piece of flawless beauty that, for God's sake, I can PLAY with.... then I feel okay about the price!!!

 

My Minifee Celine full set who is on her way to me.
I decided to splurge after selling off most of my Monster High collection.

 

My most expensive one (was) - Soom Obsidius. I guess it was over $1000 with all the options & seam removing (not including the shipping), which was a VERY expensive for me. Sold by now.
Now the most expensive doll I owe is DZ Anson flower version fullset.

 

My most expensive doll I guess is my Fancyboots Liebchen, not because I paid her more than the others, but because she a limited doll and in some cases I noticed that she has been sold back at great cost.

 

My most expensive doll to date is my LeekeWorld L-Type Arien on a glamor body. I managed to snag her from Denver Doll when Leeke was having its anniversary event. I got her with face-up for a personal-earth-shattering $550 before shipping.

Before her, I never wanted an SD sized doll, and then I saw someone else's version of her named Kaine, and I just LOVED her. After searching for over a year and only finding her head or finding her for well over $800, I gave up. If the event had never happened, I probably would not have had a chance to bring her home, and now she will be home this Thursday!! I am so excited to meet her, she may have to be my first box opening!

 

My most expensive doll was my Grey Skin Galena. With face-up, minus shipping, she was just over $900. Most of my other full dolls were between $700 and $800. I have no idea how things stack up with aftermarket costs factored in, though.

 

My Volks Chii at 135,000¥ not including the hundreds I've spent on accessories since. >.< Though, my SOOM Topaz/Amphibel is coming dangerously close to surpassing that. I've been "assembling" her piece by piece, she's been an on-going labour of love. I only her outfit left and then I will finally be done.

Edit: after posting this I decided to tally up my SOOM Topaz Amphibel hybrid thus far, she's already at $1435, her outfit will probably bring me closer to $1900.
Good God.

 

My Sam, so far! He was $240 before shipping. With shipping, $265. Then his outfit--wig, $16, eyes, $11, shirt, $8, pants, $8, boots, $10, sword, $10, add another $20 shipping in...
Around $350 sounds about right. Worth every cent. I love my boy.

Hopefully I won't have to spend more than $500 to get my grail doll, a Soom Nightmare Crow. He was the most recent MD and I just didn't have the money for him. With shipping, he was $350ish. So hopefully I won't have to go over $500 if I ever find him on the MP.
If the timing was right, I'd drop $1000-$1200 on a Soom Arkose, just because he's so perfect for one of my characters. But I doubt I'll ever be in a place where I can do that.

 

my most expensive doll is on her way its trinity doll Elysia pathos(she was my grail :P) i payed 2780 usd for her and im also saving up for Royal Florasion Dahlia she will cost me 2030 usd(she is my new grail)

 

My most expensive doll is a Granado doll Andy, before shipping his price was $579.00, applying the shipping cost it increased to $630.00. This doll does not bring eyes nor wig, so I guess if I add those the grand total would be approximately $690.00.

 

My Soom Amber fullset was my most expensive. She was about $1,700 when it was all said and done.

 

My Loki is turning out to cost more than I ever thought I would spend on a single doll. His body is a limited Fairyland Feeple 65cm complete with ice arm. He has a DIM Tom Hifddleston head with a custom face up and has had his armor and staff custom made. Add in his urethane eyes, wig etc he has cost me over $1500!

 

My most expensive would be my Ringdoll Andrew Fullset. He was around 750. Linn wasn't so bad, a little over 300, and Rory was 235, Chiyoko was 180. She was second hand though.

 

My most expensive doll has to be my F16 Lucas black cat.. >_< He was so rare at the time and i paid I think 1300 for him.. Le sigh... next up would be my Lishe Elf at 850 dollars and my Idealian at 800 dollars..

 

My most expensive doll is (nude/blank) Doll Chateau Agatha, so no really expensive dolls here.

 

My most expensive is my Volks FCS SDGr F-36 boy with Genji makeup, he was well over $1,200+ but it was my 40th b-day when I decided to get him and you only live once so go big is what I did in 2011. My second expensive is my Dollshe Hound from 2006 he was over $700+ came with custom faceup from Luts back then, third most expensive is my FCE Bronze Soul Mate Cuprit from Soom she was over $700+ as well and she was blank, have yet to paint her.

 

My most expensive is my Iplehouse Rexy, at $720. Not bad! ^^

 

My Iplehouse EID Limited Rex (Special Forces Fullset). The only thing I didn't buy was the helmet, I opted for the mask instead.

This was also my first doll. After years of not wanting one enough to buy it... Rex stole my heart and my cash.

He came to $1,300. I have no regrets.

 

I am going to say my Ringdoll Frankenstein. X3 He's Mr. Pricey-Pants.

 

My LE Abadon, for all his bits (no default eyes, wig, sword hand, or sleeping head) he was idk, about $800 ish? I'm not fiddled about the hand, wig, or eyes much, I like the other stuff I found for him better, if I count that stuff he's probably about $850 I spent

My most expensive doll is my grail doll: Soom Phonolus, which I bought second hand. He was a Christmas and birthday surprise that my parents and grandparents helped pay for. He was a total of $825 and was/is totally worth it!

 

I guess I would have to say it was my Dollmore Ipsae Monahan. With all the sanding, body blushing and customizing she was around $1100.00... but she was SOoooooo worth it. She is gorgeous!

 

It would be my grail doll DS IM Hound in pale tan and DS Saint in 32s body. Actually it didn't seem that bad I got them separately put on layaway and that time they have the discounted rounds.

 

Almost $2600 for my Dollmore Trinity Snow Flower Jude. Totally worth it!

 

my most expensive is my Iplehouse Carina light brown she is the most beautiful doll ever - my most expensive per inch has to be my realpuki Roro

 

My most expensive doll is my Dollshe Orijean Doll Chateau hybrid, $250 for 1 headback and both faceplates, and $450 for the body, totaling $700 for just the doll.

 

My Soom Ignim full set was a bit over $1300 and my off topic (after market) Popovy Sisters Magpie was $1600 plus shipping from Russia.

 

Most of my dolls are in the $100 to 200 range. I kind of dumbly pride myself on how in expensively it can get legit dolls. Still my most expensive one will actually be a gift. My sister bought me a soom smokey centaur. My jaw dropped when she told me. He's one I've long pined after from afar since he's way out if the range where I could ever afford him. Being able to own him someday soon is like a dream. I'm currently trucking away at a summer job so that I can afford one of the Dollpamm boys, I'm thinking Reo. I may have to do my first ever group order though since shipping is kind of a lot. Eek!

 

I have a Volks Ryoma Sakamoto full set.... Nuff said I believe LOL

 

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]My most expensive doll is my Loongsoul [/FONT]Farkas witch was $1,136 Full set

 

My most expensive doll would be LoongSoul Bessie, who after shipping came to around $400 or so? But if we're counting accessories and all that, my DF-h Lingfeng (who is Aoba Seragaki) has to be my most expensive by far. I bought him as an in-stock fullset from AC around the holidays, because I'm an impatient baby, so he was about $400 like that, but then I commissioned his wig and outfit for $220 altogether, not to mention the boy still needs headphones from Camellia Dynasty ($25) and shoes that look close enough to paint ($20)... so as a complete doll he's $665.... about to drop $500 on a secondhand Soom Picro though. She's one of my grails though, so totally worth it!

 

spent about $800 on my Iplehouse Stella
but I'll spend more on her such as new faceup, body blushing, tattoos..

 

My most expensive doll is Ringdoll Jack the Ripper fullset. That's like $800-ish with shipping. Totally worth it~

 

I kind of avoid very expensive dolls... My most expensive was my first BJD, Luts SDF Blanchet, $600 back at 2008. (The economy at then was in my favour though, living in &#8364;uro area: converter in to euros, she was something around 400 &#8364;.)

I spent the year between high school and uni (2008-2009) working, so I was able to afford the dolls... I had a part time job along my uni studies from 2009 to 2013 but I changed my major and made a new study plan where I'm proceeding almost double speed compared to my old major so I have no time for part time job. Thus I have to make do with the student benefit, after paying rent and food I have something around $ 100 to spend on books, any clothes I need, lunches at uni and so on. So no expensive dolls for me. I managed to buy four dolls during spring though, thanks to birthday money and selling three dolls, and a fifth one (or a half of one ^^ is due in a week, once the split is completed. Together these five are around $ 1200 before shipping and customs fees. They also need eyes, wigs and shoes, and three of them are going to have commissioned face-ups. And I'll try not to think the Half, who'll need his human parts = $ 300 + shipping + customs... All this will easily reach $ 2500, eurgh. Of course this was not one doll, but as the money was spent in less than two months...

(Sorry for random rambling. ^^

 

The most expensive doll I have was $500. She is Luts limited zuzu delf Persi Scorpio.

 

My most expensive doll is Iplehouse Bichun. I ordered it in light brown with a make-up limit, without clothes but a super-hiro body. 1150$

 

My most expensive doll was my Dollstown 13 yo Ariel. She was my first bjd and I was brand new to everything. I bought her in 2008 and struggled through the ordering system. I don't remember what I paid for her except that it was a lot!

 

Ash my first purchase, Ringdoll Sol, was my most expensive doll, fullset with faceup. I still love him but not his clothes so much now. He looks so good in his other things but it was his hot look in that set of clothes that made me fall in love.

 

Volks kurumi hybrid with feeple60 body. $1300 for head and $600 for body 0.0

Mine was a Souldoll Street Fighter Jinwoo. When I got into the hobby his sale period had just ended but I desperately wanted one. Saw the mold come up on the MP a few times but always way out of what I could afford. Finally found one on the MP reasonably priced but still more than I would normally pay for a doll, I try to pretend I have some sense when it comes to money lol Bought him up and do not regret it. He's perfect and really brings to life the character I wanted him for.

 

I paid $1200 for my secondhand Volks SD17 Williams. Actually a pretty good price for him, as he was an almost-complete fullset (he was just missing his coat.)

 

I don't have my most expensive doll yet, but it's a limited full-set Real Puki from Fairyland, at the price of $340. My DIM Alana is the most expensive on I have, I paid about $320 for her. Not having an interest in SDs is a huge money saver for me.

 

My most expensive bjd was a full set Tessa by Dale Zentner, $1,300 and well worth it.

 

Mine was my porcelain Enchanted Doll, and then my BJTales porcelain doll was next in line, I did have an Angel Egg doll but I sold her on, and then my two resin Enchanted Doll's are next in line for their $$$ I would also love a fully-painted girl from the Popovy sisters so she would then join their ranks.

I actually used to only collect the rare artist made BJD, preferring to have one beautiful art piece versus a handful of cheap resins that I regretted.... but the resins are sure beginning to pile up around me compared to my "NO resin dolls" policy I had a few years ago!!

 

Gah!!! Just thinking about how much I have spent on dolls over the last few years is freaking me out--and I don't even have that many! I like to collect pieces that I see as art that use the doll as a medium. Unfortunately, I do not have any on-topic dolls. . . yet! I hope to have a DC doll one day soon and I'm sure that will be close to $800 (still less than other off-topic dolls I have) but I think any dolls over $300 are expensive. All bjds, whether on topic or not, are expensive! Sheesh-I need cheaper interests!

 

My most expensive doll so far was $480 for my grail doll. I went back and forth for 20 minutes trying to decide if I should do it or wait but, in the end, I decided to buy him. I can definitely see myself spending more though. Especially for a certain Ring Doll...

 

Probably would be my Volks Olivia girl when I get her body (her head was $450 without shipping and I paid quite a bit for shipping) because I want to get her a SD16 body which would at least be $500 >_<

But for now it's my Leeke Mihael on a Granado Nuevo body with jointed hands (I can't remember the cost in usd, but it's about 900sgd, which means about 700+usd)

 

Wow, $1300 for the head

 

She's on the way: Loongsoul Siren Mermaid Chris. $475 not including the faceup and body makeup!

 

Hmmmmm....Asian BJD would have to be the fullset Soom Ignim at $1500 not including shipping.

Non Asian would be my after market off topic painted Popovy Sisters Magpie at $1600 followed by the on-topic Open Eye Popovy Sisters Cuckoo at $1300.

 

I feel like the most I'd ever be able to spend on a doll is $700, and that's really stretching it, considering that the most expensive doll I've ever bought with money never reached $400. But $700 is what Aurendel, my Soom Elf Sabik, technically cost. To be fair though, I traded in order to obtain him. And I did a partial trade to obtain the doll before him. I've never physically spent more than $385 on a doll (And that is including shipping in the price!), but they tend to get more expensive every time I splurge on a new one, so I suspect it won't be long until I break that barrier. Then again, all the faces I keep oogling in the secondhand marketplace these days are rather out of my present pricerange. Budgeting is an interesting affair.

 

Though sometime in the past I've set my limit to 1k$, sadly, my sentiments seemed to have their own whim As of now, my most expensive is a Dollmore Trinity Persona Pathos Lumie at 2600+$. It is sooo darned difficult controlling my ever-expanding grail list...

 

At first my most expensive doll was Soom Euclase. I liked him so much, so I ordered face-up for him, and the wig, etc. I liked everything about him. And I still do!) He's perfect!

But this year I ordered Iplehouse Arvid with options and clothes and now he's the most expensive of my dolls.

But I never paid more than 1000$ for a doll. I hope it stays that way.

 

My most expensive doll that is on-topic is my Dollzone Cornelia (Fullset) at $648.
The most I've ever spent was $1040 for a Sybarite Maraschino.

But I really want a blank Popovy Sisters doll. I can't decide between a Magpie or Cuckoo. Those go around 800 for a basic/unpainted doll. My wallet must really hate me. T-T

 

So far my most expensive doll is my minifee rin fullset which I am currently waiting on. Followed by Dollfie Hatsune Miku.

 

that'd be frankie! ringdoll frankenstein 2013 fullset, no faceup. he was £500-and-something (about $1000? maybe?)
totally worth it, he's a babe.

 

Popovy Little Owl and Peewit. Blank they are $800 each, plus shipping and bank fees.

 

My most expensive doll was my first doll, a SoulDoll Juhl. I bought him directly from the company and ended up spending around $700 dollars for him.

 

I check in on this thread once in a while and never quite know how to quantify my answer.
I think that even after all these years, the doll with the highest price tag - just the price for the doll and not the surrounding expenses - is still my Custom House Unique Ai Choa. She was $1300 in 2006, and had I not inherited some money that year, she would have been unobtainable.
If we're talking about total cost to achieve the doll that is sitting there on the shelf, it's a lot harder to calculate. I have a lot of hybrids and a lot of characters who have been reshelled several times. Those rarely clock in under 2K by the time they are done, but my F-33 girl is probably going to be the winner, since aside from buying about 2K worth of dolls/parts that didn't work out, there was also the extra cost of airfare, car rental, hotel, etc added on to placing my Volks FCS order...and I still have to buy her a pricey SDGr girl body on the secondhand market!
I try really hard not to question whether or not it is worth it, but I can recognize that I am much happier with the dolls I spent the money on to get just right vs the ones where I settled for an afordable temporary option.
