Ball Jointed Dolls <3, Mold, Make and Model ;) Options

[Baby]

Alright, so now that I know there are at least 2 other people interested in BJD on the forum I am going to put up a thread for discussion!

So lets get this thing hip and a hopping!

[Baby]

I'm excited for you, sad for your bank, but excited. (My bank also feel's for you.) I know what you mean about wanting to keep her the same since she's a limited edition doll. I have very rarely ordered a LE doll that I have ordered with faceup and full set, because usually I know I won't like the doll's default.. let me think... My very first doll my DragonDoll Emporer Huang Di, I ordered him with faceup and fullset outfit, though he was not a LE. I do still keep him in his LE outfit because it suits his personality, but his faceup chipped away within a week of getting him (sad!) I made a temporary fix and I will be getting his faceup redone sometime. the thing is though, even when he had his default, he didn't look like much of the same doll, which was sad for me because I fell head over heels for the doll in the photo who was very regal and kind and well... Imperial. My boy still does look like the Emperor he is, but he is more quirky, whimsy and flirty then anything.

Most of my dolls are rehomed, I bought them from people who wanted to clean out their collections or something, which is hoe I have most of my LEs. The only LE that I have that has his default is SOOM Shoshon, it looks nice, but I'll probably have a better one put on eventually.

I'm not saying it will happen to you, but don't be surprised if you end up wanting to change the faceup eventually.


As for things to buy.. Hmm.. To be honest I never had a need for a doll brush, however a soft bristled or soft padded human brush is fine, like those pocket sized ones that have the rubber beneath plastic bristles. Some people like doll stands, I have one, I like it alot and wish I had more. Buy a Mr. Clean magic erased incase she comes with scuff marks or incase she gets something on her. I'm not sure if you are going to order a whole butt load of eyes and wigs, but definitely have either small ziplocs or wignets for your wigs, and something you can keep your eyes in safely. Most people who have LOTS of eyes buy those little drawer cabnets you use for nails and screws, if you get some with bigger drawers you can always keep the wigs and clothes in there too

EDIT: I changed my dolls list to Alphabetical by Company. once you see the company they are by when I received them and on another note, Mizuki. I was wrong, I do have another LE doll who I kept his LE faceup, my IMPLdoll Eugene has default faceup, along with my rainbow IMPLdoll tinies, Pinky, Simon and Jasper.
