What is your limit?

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case for most of us... Hell, I almost fell dirty at some times! But I've been so happy since I've ordered my doll, I've been checking the tracking number pretty much every day, that I finally understood I made the right choice, I rarely awaited something so eagerly.

 

Same again. My first arrived in less than a week, but I was so anxious that it felt like months. It's been like that for every DD I've ordered. I suspect that there is some kind of time dilation caused by a DD en route to a new home.

I, unfortunately, went over my limit a couple of months ago. Now I’m trying to rehome much of my collection of limiteds due to space. I think I have around 16/17 at the moment and I’m trying to scale back to about 6 now.

I have set a limit of 3 girls - 1 DDS (which I have), 1 MDD, and 1 DD or DDy. I want 1 boy, but will probably never get him I really want my DD or DDy to be tan, but I don't think I'll be at Doll Point anytime soon.

I had a 3 girl limit once upon a time. I had 4 before the end of my 1st year.

 

As for the tan on, there are all kinds of proxies you can use to go get her for you and ship to your home. That's what I'm going to do when I get around to getting a tan girl.

I don't have any dolls yet, but I have a feeling my limit will be close to 3 or 4. I have a lot of other things that I collect, and 1/3 dolls take up quite a bit of space! So far I expect my future collection to consist of one DD3, one DDS, one SmD Cortex girl, and one SmD Cortex boy.

I had a 3 girl limit once upon a time. I had 4 before the end of my 1st year.

Four in a year looks like where I'm gonna be. That year is coming up in about a month and a half, and I have one complete doll (Sheryl Nome), one that's been in pieces for various reasons for nearly a year, and two floating heads, and it's looking like I'll get all of them completed before that year anniversary comes.

 

Originally I wanted to say 3 was a limit just because it seemed like a good number, but I've already exceeded that. I wanted to then say 5 but I'm just one away from that so it's too limiting, so I'm saying 10 now and really don't want to get there though. Too much expense and seems like too many to really pay attention to each one. Would probably require a lot more clothing and possible duplicates too. As is I feel like I have a decent wardrobe that can be shared.

 

And in those questions Volks has for you to answer in the Dollfie the Best polls, in the category for number of Dollfies you own, 1-10 is the same category...so owning 10 is the same as owning 1, right?

This seems like solid logic to me, I'm gonna go with that too.

 

I ended up with 7 in almost 3 years...5 were intentional, 2 were floating bodies that randomly ended up in my house through a series of lucky events and obviously that wasn't going to fly.

 

I'm hoping to keep it at no more than 10 if I can help it. It's tough to manage to them all as it is. And storing their clothes and accessories is becoming more of an issue than actually having 7 SD sized dolls out.

personally, I had about 6 dolls before I found my girl Mai and kinda realized I wanted to put all my time and effort into her!

 

I feel it is completely fine for people to keep collecting though!

Probably 2 and maybe 3 if I have money. I really want to put my time and effort into my dolls. I used to collect BJDs and I spent most of the time on a favorite one. I felt bad for ignoring others. When I start getting interested in DD, I'm inspired by some Japanese DD owners who have only 1-3 DDs but put their best effort to make them perfect. They look absolutely adorable! I wish I can be like them.

Well I do not collect characters so much. More I prefer my own characters. (now I am making my 4 basic characters from barbie era to bjd´s. I have 2 so 2 left) Five is my limit. But I could own get Hatsune Miku or Asuna I would go for them no matter the limit. Also If I get to Japan one day I surely want to have enough money not only to buy a dollfie but also for things like a maid café, Shinkansen restaurant, etc.

My limit is no more than 5, and so far I've managed to hold that one.

I want to say my hard limit is 5, but that may change if I end up downsizing other collections of mine.

My limit seems to be 4. I never put limits but I always stop at 4 for some reason. It's like when I reach the 4th doll I don't want anymore dolls of that kind.

 

4 DD boys

4 DD girls

4 SDs

4 MSDs

4 tinies

and now I will have only 1DDP so that leaves room to 3 more and who knows, the number for the others might change to 5 but for now it is 4

I hadn't thought of putting a hard limit and simply thought, "well you probably should buy no more than 10 max.."

 

The other day I realized I have 20....

 

Like many of you here, I think I just need to refocus a bit. The reality is there's 2 I play with full-time, 2 more I dress occasionally, and the rest are just character displays.

 

So I really have about 4 active girls. I'm finding it hard to really spread my attention much further than that.

I think my limit for dollfie dreams is probably like 7 or 9? I have ones that i really want then i have ones that i just like but dont think i'll ever get.

 

 

Ones i really want to have in my family are:

 

Saber Alter or Saber Altria Pendragon with the DD-F3 frame.

 

Idolmaster Cinderella Girls Anastasia, Mio, and Rin

 

Vocaloid Rin, Luka, and Len

 

Akihabara Girls Akira, Natsuki, and Ruri

 

Macross Delta/Frontier Freyja Wion and Ranka Lee

 

 

 

The ones i like but probably will never get because their usually really expensive or unattainable are:

 

Sakuya Crimson from the Shining Series.

 

Cirno from Touhou

 

Alisa from God Eater

 

Asuna Yuuki from SAO

 

Sinon from SAO

 

Yuki Morikawa from White Album

 

And last but not least Aoko Aozaki from Mahou Tsukai No Yoru

I'm setting a limit at 4 (famous last words), since I only have two glass cases suitable for DDs and only 2 will fit in each one.

 

If I get more cases, then heaven help me.

Funny how things change. I started saying 3 was all I wanted. Now I have 8, and at that point threw up my hands and said the sky is the limit (Volks has a 100+ option for number of dolls owned for a reason.). But then I lost my job and now at 5 months jobless my view has really changed. I've missed a few releases, some of which I would have bought if I still had a job, as well as a ton of outfits I really really wanted. But it has caused me to sit back and rethink things. I have 8 girls, and love them all, but I'm not very close to a couple of them. I'd never think of parting with them, but if I had gotten more girls, they would be even less bonded with, which is sad. I still have 3 more I want to get, mainly for OCs, to round out the crew, but unemployment has really cooled the gotta catch them all drive. So barring something amazing happening, I realistically think 12-15 will be my limit in the end.

Limits? We're talking about DDs,posibilities are limitless!

 

I've been pondering this a whole lot, and I think in the end I'll say ten 1/3's, but seven is the likely number.I've got a DDS, a DDDy, my 2D doll resin girl and my Azone girl that are apart of the crew. The only dolls left that I have on my list are a SmD boy,DDS Karin,a MDD and a DDP.(and maybe a SmD lady of I can catch a good second hand deal). So for the sake of DDs that is 5, other brands confirmed 3. 

While I absolutely admire large collections, I love interacting with the dolls too much. I don't think I'll put as much into then if I hop into double digits.

...as many as i have room for. seriously though, i feel like it's hard to say. are the 4 dolls i have right now too much? if i add another one will it be too much? are my resin girls and my 1 vinyl girl different enough to be apart of different "collections"? what exactly is too much? will i ever know? is there no limit to my repertoire of dolls?

until i know... better to spend the money on something i can be creative with and makes a very cute display than something that only does one of those things i think. that's what i tell myself at least 😉 

I have plans just for three dollfies right now: kosmos (which I already got), Alna and Sheryl Nome. All depends on which limited edition or new standard models Volks releases the next year, but for now I'll be more than satisfied with those.

I feel like my limit is probably 4(?). I already have a DDS and because she a sister, I feel like she needs and older sister!! LOL

I want to try owning a DDdy. They seem like a bit...much, but I feel like the dynamic between and older/younger sister on a DDdy and DDS body would work out quite nicely. 

I also want a Tan DD and a Cocoa SmD. Honestly the hard part is deciding who to get first. 

My limit is probably 3 SD haha 😂

I pretty minimalist and don’t like clutter and overcrowded doll drawers 

My limit was 10. I have around 20? I'm getting to the point where I may rehome some of my dolls. I've figured out which are my favourites and which ones I don't play with.

I want to have some male DDs once (if?) Volks standardizes the male bodies. I already have a head waiting for a male body.

 

I've realized I'll probably have to let some of them go to make room for dolls that I want more, but I'm not ready to let any of them go.
