frollywoggy Posted October 5, 2021 Hello! I'm just getting started in this hobby, having stalked watched it from the shadows in the past, and I'm working on my first doll! When I say working, I mean dreaming, really. 〒▽〒 I've been putting aside funds and learning how to care properly for vinyl dolls, something that scared me a bit at first. I was actually planning to have this doll by now, but a few months ago when I actually almost started the ordering stage, I chickened out and went back to the day-dreaming stage. I finally decided to go for it after all, so the only problem remaining is my indecisive-ness. The issues now are figuring out what I want, what parts I need, and where to go to find them. Man, who knew dolls were so complex? Aside from dolls, I'm an aspiring artist (maybe a doll make-up artist in future?) and an anime enthusiast. I enjoy drinking peachy tea, playing various video games, and going on long walks in the morning. I've watched this community from the sidelines for a long time now, and I'm so glad I took a bit of a leap and joined it! 3 "And after the artist has been long gone, turned to dust, the art remains." -Spiritfarer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted October 6, 2021 Welcome! What doll were you looking at, and from what company? 👀 I'm always curious about what dolls newbies pick as their firsts! Please ping me when replying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frollywoggy Posted October 6, 2021 @Oculae I've been hoping to get a SWS Mini Dollfie Dream Mochi Ashi from Volks. I always liked the cute legs and I wanted to go with a smaller doll because I felt they'd be easier to manage, not to mention that I already have some 1/4 size clothing, so that'll save me a bit of trouble.

Oculae Posted October 6, 2021 Ohhh, the Mochis are adorable, that's an excellent choice! 1/4 is such a good size, too. Lots of options for clothes! Please ping me when replying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and the MDDs get all the cutest stuff, not only with clothes!
