An Introduction Options

[Baby]

So, I feel silly I initially posted this over in the.. what was it, town square? town center? Anyways.. I will re-say what I said, haha.

Alright, so I'm Baby, and I'm new here. I just joined up! Though I've been lurking for a while.

I am currently playing Animal Parade! I bought it when it came out, but I only got to two bells, I decided to pick the game up again, I restarted and now I am on the last bell (it's a stupid bell >P) I got to thinking that there must be a few internet forum sites that are awesome for me to join up at that is HM related! And behold. I've seen FOGU, that place before, but I'm not certain if there is a forum board there ^u^ So here I am.

I think this place will be fun to be apart of.

My interests are typical, I like Anime and Manga, Movies, Books, and I am also a collector of Ball jointed dolls! (BJD.)

I also think this is cute --> (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-iia.png) (just noticed it!!)

Anyways, if you'd drop me a little Hay and a little Ho I would be greatful!

Thanks!

I've wanted a Luts doll (in particular a Delf Soony) for about six or seven years now. Back when I first wanted one it would've cost me $600 just for the doll... Now I can get a brand-new one for about $425, but that's still far too much for me to just throw out there on a doll.

Ball-jointed dolls first caught my interest through people dressing them up as popular anime characters, though, I honestly don't think I'd want one for those purposes. I'd probably be weird and want my doll to be its own character with a backstory, notable appearance, and a personally designed costume or something. I've always liked the customizability - the fact that you can literally change everything.

I'm a little surprised that you pay for them yourself. Collecting them is a really expensive hobby to undertake. But good on you for taking it up yourself. Most people wouldn't.

Another question. Do you just buy clothing for them from the makers and private designers or do you make clothes and other accessories/items for them yourself?
