#BJD Collections

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Please excuse the long text ahead

I joined the bjd hobby around 2018 and its been a life saver in the sense that it has helped me stay motivated in life and its kinda therapy for me because it makes me happy and it has allowed me to be creative, because my line of work is just numbers related, i am married and i can say me and my partner have a great relationship, so its not like i had a reason to be depressed, Just kinda needed a hobby to keep me going if that makes sense, something that was alone for me and to enjoy, and by pure chance i found it in dolls. Anyway I recently turned 40 and i took a huge chunk of my money to indulge and get a couple of grail dolls and lots of clothes and things for them, financially i can say i am not so relaxed but i own a couple of properties and have my own car, my partner works too so its not like she depends economically on me although we split the bills, the thing is that like many People nowadays, It's unlikely i will retire and have a relaxed life in my old days if i get to that age, so i cant help to feel a bit guilty on spending money that i might need in the future when i can no longer work, but at the same time i feel happy looking at my new dolls and things, my reasoning is a bit "fuck it i might die tomorrow and never got to obtain these things and enjoy them" and also i know its frowned upon but even when i love my dolls i see them as material possesions, so i always try to get items that i know somehow won't lose their value and that I can possibly sell if i need to, so i see it a bit like an investment. I just felt like i needed to get it out of my chest, but at the same time i would like to know your thoughts on my situation, i don't want you to tell me if im right or wrong tho but all replies are welcome, my point is i am not seeking for validation, just kinda Wonder if anyone else can relate and has done "irresponsable spending" and what is your reasoning, thank you so much for reading and pardon my broken english, it's not my native tongue, and thank you admin for your hard work running this blog ❤️

"I bought a porcelain BJD from an artist whose main gig is making, essentially, pet reliquaries" is a sentence I never thought I'd say and yet...

Iris! My first time customizing an actual BJD doll

In honor of 2024 being the year of the dragon in the Chinese zodiac, it felt appropriate to repaint my own noodle dragon girl Dollzone Po in white skin. I had absolutely hated the previous Faceup I’d put on her for many reasons, so I was happy to redo her. Also who can resist shimmer freckles?

See for yourself in the before and after below!

The new Faceup is much much cuter in my opinion. I opted for no applied eyelashes this time because her eyes are just so dang small!

The redo was prompted by her new wig, which was the first wig I’d ever sewn like this. The part is messy, but acceptable to me and not bad for my first time working with sewn wefts!

She’s just so adorable, I’m glad I finally bonded with her

I make all of my female dolls so beautiful. Some of them are classically feminine because I know I can't be. I know I'll never be pretty enough to turn heads. But my dolls are. And I love them for it.

Wow! Look at Nora—she's a true Lady Autumn! Amazing look, makeup, outfit, and photos! We are currently launching two small preorders for BJD Grannies each year—one in the fall and one in the spring. The fall preorder is already closed, and the next one will be in the spring. However, we may have available dolls from time to time. We are working on how to notify about available dolls, and once we come up with a solution, we will let you know.

I keep forgetting I have more pics to post! Nyx had dressed up in black for almost a whole year then this circusy set arrived and I felt I had to make her colorful! I think she looks very cute in it! 🥰🎪❤️

No one asked but I want to complain about Bonnies on main…even though they’re my fav dolls ever and I would never let my loyalty waver.

I do understand that they’re cheap dolls, and that assets will be reused, but there are only 5 unique hair sculpts among them.

- Short wavy

- Lois from Family Guy

- Braids

- Cute anime girl attending a festival

- Pigtails

And they’re all cute! Don’t get me wrong, I love all of them! But it’s such a shame that the dolls wind up looking…almost painfully similar sometimes. Come4Arts did a brilliant job on trying to make their faces unique in the second collection…but by the third they got a bit lazy again….it’s kind of disheartening.

Muse has rounder eyes, Milkshake has big, upturned ones, and Lulu has more foxlike eyes. each one has variation in their eye makeup, different little things on their faces. Even their noses and paint colors vary a little! It gives them unique identities.

Popop and Coco though….same accessories, same sculpts, same noses, same eyes and eyebrows, and from the same collection.

I love them both dearly, but it’s sad to see how the budget was used this time around.
