Hello!

[TheHighlander]

Hello,

Not sure where to start. I confess I am a doll collector (hang on, isn't that how they start at one of those 'anonymous' meetings?). I have little dolls and big dolls, Silkstones and Tonners, R&D Angels and Susie and will soon acquire my first Obitsu 60cm. My wife recently joined this forum - Misheru - we are celebrating out 10th anniversary this year by purchasing each other a large BJD from Japan.

My collection includes SilkStones, Susies, a 27cm Volks Who's That Girl, numerous R&D Angels, numerous Tonner Vinyl ladies (DeeAnna Denton, Cinderella, Ellowyn/Prudence, American Model).

I started out with a couple of OOAK figures that Misheru made me from Silkstones, they were made to resemble favorite game and anime characters (Shion Uzuki, KOS-MOS and MOMO from the JRPG game xenosaga, and May from the anime Hand Maid May). Things have expanded considerable from there...

As I said, this year I get my first large BJD, it'll be an Obitsu 60cm, probably a Gretel set. Somehow, I doubt she will be my last.

I decided to join up here after my wife did, I was lurking a little and read a hilarious post in the "Let's Talk" sub-forum.

So there you are, or rather here I am. Some would call me an addict or a doll hoarder, others might call me a dollieh whore, personally I think I'm completely sane and collecting these pretty works of art is no more abnormal or harmful than any other hobby and a whole hell of a lot less harmful than many hobbies I could name. I don't know how often I will post, but I will definitely be reading.

* Edit: Since the time I wrote this my addition has become worse, and my collection has grown. Still, the hobby is harmless, and healthier than smoking or drinking, so...why not?

I am doing my best. It's still a month or so before I get my first big Obitsu girl.

In the mean time I may haunt the 1/4 scale area and talk Tonner...

Good news is you are in good company here - bad news is that once you've bought an Obitsu they will breed and multiply like crazy! LOL

LOL! I'm not so sure I'd consider that bad news.

yes, welcome to the dollie addiction support group, at least it is legal to do dollies compared to other things we could be doing...
