As all three of you who follow this blog know, I\u2019ve spent beaucoup d\u2019argent sur les poupees<\/i> since December. I estimate close to $3,000. @_@ <\/p>\n
I think my dollies have been so expensive because, last time I had BJDs [Zephque and Sardonix], I settled for ones that looked nice, but not exactly how I wanted. Now, determined to have BJDs exactly to my specifications, I\u2019m willing to fork over serious dough to accomplish that goal.<\/p>\n
My interest in 1:6 kitbashing also influences my BJD purchases. As far as I\u2019m concerned, 1:6 figs are made to be stripped down, parted out and recombined to create the fig you really<\/b> want. While BJDs are designed for customization, parting out and recombining [kitbashing] is not as prevalent. But, coming from the 1:6 land, I see BJDs as more expensive action figs, therefore made of swappable parts. Thus I may pay higher prices for BJD parts [like Frank\u2019s head], but then I get to reconstitute the doll that I want.<\/p>\n
Despite what people at the Burlington Doll Club tell me, I\u2019m now done with my BJD shopping. Jareth, Frank and Jennifer form my entire collection. If I was to get another BJD, someone would have to go. Given Jareth\u2019s extensive customization and resemblance to Cher, I really doubt that he<\/b> would sell. Given Frank\u2019s constitution [defaced male Volks LE head on DM fem body with super boobs], I doubt he<\/b> would sell either. As an unmodded Soom Uyoo, Jennifer might sell, but I have no desire to replace her [although I would like the Soul Doll Metel body with its hefty curves!]. Since I\u2019m stuck with my current dolls [woe is me!], I see no other BJDs in my future.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, I\u2019ve laid out an exorbitant amount in a short time. However, I have exactly the dolls that I want now, and I foresee them entertaining me for quite a while. I think that they will earn their keep. If they don\u2019t, I\u2019ll start forcing them to do dishes and laundry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
