Kimochi Posted March 8, 2013 Hi! After some lurking I decided to outright join the forum. About me: I am a 23 year old woman and I collect Resin BJDs. So far I own a Volks Kurumi, Volks Michele, Resinsoul Ariel and Resinsoul Elena. I attend college for English with hopes of becoming an ESL teacher overseas in East Asia. I have 3 cats, and 2 dogs. Right now I am waiting for my air compressor to come in so I can practice faceups. I'm eager to make friends in the DD hobby and I am currently saving up for my first Dollfie Dream. I have a few BJDs but no DDs. I love the DDS body and the DD2 body. I like smaller chests on my dolls since it makes it easier to sew for them, but I honestly wouldn't mind a Peach Pai chest part. Anyway I have skype & MSN & aim as well as Tumblr so if you want to add me on any of those, feel free to ask! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sporkaroni Posted March 8, 2013 Welcome to the forum! Do you have any plans already for your first DD? Do you know what head you want to use? Or maybe you want to start off with a limited girl?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kimochi Posted March 8, 2013 I want an unlimited head, DDH-006! I don't have the budgeting ability for a limited! Besides, I'd be scared of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nogo171 Posted March 9, 2013 Hello there! Starting with custom girl is always good IMO. You will able to understand what are the values in a DD and why some (parts, DDs) are more expensive then others since you will have to hunt for every single thing (head, wig, body, clothes, accessories etc.) I was scared to start with a limited girl, not mentioning a highly wanted one like Yuki M. (the one I'm after ^^) because I felt that I might get her too easy - let alone price of course - so that I will never know anything in the background. I wouldn't have had a chance to learn so much about DD related such as the lottery system or all the custom DD available out there if I had decided to go with a limited girl. And of course, waiting for your girl to arrive (in many parts) is impatiently happy lol At home Haruka (Haruka Niimi), Akira (Akira), Saber (Saber Alter), Madoka (Madoka SQ-Lab), Rise (Rise Kujikawa), Yukiho (Yukiho Hagiwara) & Touka (DDH-07) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course, waiting for your girl to arrive (in many parts) is impatiently happy lol I own BJDs so the same clothes and wigs GENERALLY fit DDs as well and I have a healthy stock of those. I was considering just getting a head at first and using it on a BJD body until I can get the parts together. DDs seem to be a league of their own from BJDs, however. I guess I view them as a more "upscale" doll? I don't know why since BJDs are already pretty high up there in terms of dolls. I would really like to get a damaged doll, actually! I have several damaged BJDs that I repaired and modded back to NEARLY full health, and I was going to look for a damaged or stained up DD to fix up. Something about saving a doll makes me happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
