good morning ☀️

For the past few months I've been trying sell as much doll stuff as I could, but I kept changing my mind and keeping dolls even though in the past I used to part with them easily. So I came up with a list of questions to ask myself whenever I consider getting rid of a doll:

1. Does this doll have a clear vibe/personality?

2. Do I like this doll nude? Will I like her in a different outfit?

3. Was this doll a well-thought purchase?

4. Do I have any plans for this doll? (photography, customizing, etc)

5. Do I enjoy holding this doll in my hands?

6. Will my collection lose anything without this doll in it?

7. Would I care about this doll if she wasn't old/rare/sought after/a good deal?

^ if I answer "no" to four or more of these questions, the doll has to go. So far I haven't regretted selling any of my dolls even though sometimes it was difficult to put them up for sale in the first place.

Feel free to use and edit this list if you're in the process of downsizing your collection too

Here's Bearlinda. She is very sweet, but I have say she feels a bit...well, bare, compared to the others. No painted details on her shoes, no metallic or iridescent accents anywhere. But considering her design concept seems to be 'light & airy'--like clouds--I can accept that she leans minimal. I do appreciate the little bit of extra effort they put in to give her a bubble skirt.

Still on the fence about getting any more Pixlings due to the waste issue, but I am happy with the little group I have. This is one the most unique, artistic doll lines I've seen in a long time.

Because polls get the most engagement I’m making a poll lol

(For the sake of this poll: a collector is anyone who *currently has* a collection of things either physically or digitally that they intentionally acquired which can be grouped together)

Please please please please pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell me what you collect and optionally why!!!! (This is doubly true if your collection is related to a regulatory/“special” interest!!!!!!! That’s honestly the only reason I’m making this poll, I am begging youuuuuuuuuuu

Neurodivergent related tags are for reach as I know a lot of neurodiverse people are collectors. I do try my best not to clutter those tags, if anyone has an issue with it please tell me and I’ll remove them
