So, real love at first sight:
Dollzone Scarecrow Hal – this was my first doll, whom I bought within five days of discovering the term “bjd”. I set eyes on him and I just Had To Have Him. I still love him to bits, and I don’t think there is a single MSD face that I love as much as his. I got him a spare head that I had face-upped by an artist, because though it isn’t that great, I can’t bear to wipe his company face-up – it is how he first came to me and therefore it’s special.
Dollzone Aurora – I was not as completely smitten with her as with Scarecrow Hal, simply because she didn’t look *perfectly* like the character I turned her into (Hal did). But I was so obsessed with Aurora that I got her anyway. She is too tall and too stern to be the perfect Morgana, but I loved her as soon as I saw her and still don’t regret buying her. Twice. Oh and when it was announced that she was going to be discontinued, I bought a third Aurora head, just in case anything ever happens with the other two :p.
La Légende de Temps Roderich – I bought my first Roderich off the MP. I didn’t know anything about him or the company – no resin match, no nothing. I just knew I wanted that head for my Gawain. Now I have three Roderich heads :p.
Dollzone Pepper – I’d told my self “no more 16 cm dolls, they are too small!”, but then I saw Pepper and couldn’t resist. So he came to join the family.
The strangest thing for me is, um, love at second sight. I don’t understand how that works. There are two dolls (Granado Sidonia and Dollzone Yogr) at which I didn’t look twice when they were released. They didn’t appeal to me at all. (Yogr, I thought, was quite hideous.) Then one day, bam! – all of a sudden I really wanted to bring them home. And I’m very glad that I did! They aren’t as traditionally “pretty” as many other dolls, but that is what I like about them.
