DebbieF Posted October 15, 2022 I have been lurking for a while, enjoying looking at everyone’s dolls and learning about the world of vinyl BJDs. I only have three vinyl BJDs - a Goodreau Secret, a Granado Vindoll, and now a DD Icon. But I have a bunch of other dolls - mostly 16” fashion dolls, a few 12” fashion dolls, and various sizes of resin BJDs. After I got my Vindoll, I liked the balance of a BJD’s posability without the quirkiness of elastic stringing. I discovered Smartdoll but haven’t yet bought one. Then, I saw a lilac Icon on someone’s FB post. I had to figure out who and what she was! I watched for a year for them to go on sale again. I was surprised to win the lottery to buy Serra. I figured since I have never bought from Volks, there was no way I would get picked. She is awesome! I am hoping to get her an Iris or Clover as a friend next time. Or a Smartdoll, if they restock one I like. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serena Posted October 15, 2022 Welcome to the hobby! Congratulations on your Dollfie Icon, they're absolutely gorgeous! Incredible that you won her first try 🥳 Vinyl dolls are wonderful, I have 11 Dollfie Dreams myself (though my resin dolls outnumber them now 😅 something I never expected to happen). I definitely agree on their poseability, I really enjoy how they're able to hold some ridiculous and absurd poses that my resin ladies would never be able to. Reminds me of the articulated action figures to some degree! I hope you enjoy your time here 🙌🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rajke Posted October 16, 2022 Welcome to the Forums Dollfie Icons are a good choice. They have an interesting skintone and a very sweet looking face up. We do like photo’s here on Dolldreaming. Feel free to post some when you want to. Smartdolls are nice too. Very fun to pose and photograph. Seeja around, Rajke Greetz, Rajke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
