New years BJD meme nabbed from @ravensresinā
How did you get into BJD collecting?Ā
How long have you been in the BJD hobby?
(Combined questions 1 & 2)
Oh jeez - back in like.... 2007?? I saw one online or at a convention or something and fell in love. Ā There were way fewer options back then but I did a ton of research and stuff and panicked about the money. Ā I finally purchased my Souldoll Kid Liddell and she arrived December 2009! Ā
How many dolls do you currently have?
5 Currently, though I am trying to sell one. Ā I have 1 on the way
Leilani - Dust of Dolls Appi Meel in blue-menthe
Etoile - Dust of Dolls Krot Kete in whiteĀ
Appolinne - Dust of Dolls Zouh Spun in fauve
Paiva - Lillycat Cerisedolls Ninon in pale blue
(selling) Lillycat Cersiedolls Mille Choupie in baby blue
(incoming) Lillycat Cerisedolls Chibbi Lana in marron-glace
Which doll have you had the longest?
Who was the very last doll you bought?
Of the ones I physically own, Lillycat Millie Choupie. Ā Otherwise, my incoming Chibbi Lana would be it!
I already have my grail, Dust of Dolls Appi Meel! Thereās no one particular that Iām desperate for right now.
What are your doll plans for this coming year?
Limited. :( Mostly deciding if I need to sell I suspect. Ā Iāve been wanting Lillycat Ellana for ages though and her releasing a tiny version was something I didnāt want to pass up. Ā I really would love to get a MerryDollRound Dango but I suspect that Iāll have to pass up the order since itās coming up soon and I just wonāt have the funds.
Which is your favourite BJD company?
Currently, Lillycat and Dust of Dolls but I really love a lot of artist dolls I see posted lately and want them aaaaaall.
What is a must when considering a purchase? (Pose-ability, faceup, age, etc.?)
Sculpt for sure, and then joints/posing. Ā I actually sold my Doll Chateau Alberta right away because I couldnāt stand the peanut joints. Ā
From all the dolls you own, which is your favourite and why?
I go through cycles of who I love to photograph but Iād still have to say Leilani. Ā Sheās just so stunning and delicate. Ā I canāt get enough of her!
Did you learn to do something new because of this hobby? (e.g. photography, painting, sewing)
I wish I had learned more TBH but I feel like now that Iām out of the art field I might actually have time! Ā I did get into learning how to resin cast because of my interest in BJDs so thatās something I know how to do now!
What is the worst thing about this hobby?
Not even changing what RavensResin wrote because I agree 100%
āThe absolute worst thing about this hobby is the scammers. The market is being strangled by people who lie about the things they have for sale. Recasts being sold as legits, Legits not actually being in the possession of the people selling them. People who label things as ready-made/in-stock but donāt actually have the item. All contribute to the decline of the secondhand market by creating distrust.ā Ā - @ravensresin
What is the best thing about this hobby?
I love the people I have met that are sweet and kind and wonderful. Ā There are some bad people out there but there are also lots of great ones! Ā Find your community and hold on tight!

*I apologize to the 4th person who probably has a BJD blog somewhere but their main was lots of NSFW stuff and I just donāt want to link IRL porn on this blog. Ā Sorry friendo.
You donāt have to do this if you donāt want to, but if you do tag me back so I can see it please? Also If I didnāt tag you, and you want to do it feel free!
