Although I sometimes catch myself thinking that dreadful thought: if only I had the money I’d get ____________ or _________. About so many different dolls, really.
Although I do sometimes catch this phrase floating around my head, or on the very tip of my tongue … I have to wonder what I’d ever do with that many dolls, if I really owned every doll I find even remotely attractive.
They’d need their own room. It’d be like walking into an alternate dimension. HELLO. You have entered the DOLL ZONE. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. PLZ K THX.
But yeah. Luckily I am not even close to having the means to even seriously contemplate such a thing. The sheer waste of it all would kill me even if I did. There’s no way I’d ever photograph so many dolls. I can’t stand the fact of them sitting around even as much as they do now, really … and often feel like I may have too many even at 10 (in various states of being complete).
There are at least two molds that I believe I will someday get just because I really like them (otherwise I’m trying to limit myself to actual characters). I just keep coming back to these two molds. I mean, REALLY. They have been there, hanging over me, ever since I first started researching this hobby in 2003.
One of these molds I owned previously—School Head A. It is my ultimate doll love. Was, has been, will probably always be. What incarnation I actually go with on it may depend on my mood at the time. The other doll is … Shirou Tachibana. One of the first people who made me realize it was possible to get these “Japanese” dolls I was seeing imported had a Shirou. Volks School A (specifically those at Caress of Venus) was the very first doll that really made me stop in my tracks and take notice (I thought the other were attractive, but this was seriously what made me fall in love with the hobby). This is why I say they’ve been hanging over me. Shirou is a mold that in itself grew on me later on in the hobby, though.
Some other molds that really kill me are Napidoll Lucifer, Dollzone Cosmo, Supia … well just Supia in general really. Migidoll in general. So many attractive molds coming out in the past few years. The general style of doll companies has really changed. I mean, El is a prime example of BJD of the past (or even the heavily stylized Volks molds—neither these nor early CP are molds that I like or have ever liked). It’s really starting to turn more realistic, and so more and more molds are appealing to me now.
Gah!
This sort of rambling is what happens when I’m sleep deprived and can’t sleep to save my life. I apologize.
