The very first time I saw a Super Dollfie I fell in love… I believe it was at Megacon. There was a group of girls sitting around a table having tea. I remember they were all dressed in Lolita dresses, and there amongst all of the little desserts and teacups, were the most amazing dolls. I’ve always loved dolls. I have about seven porcelain dolls, five resin Final Fantasy figures, one resin My Twin doll, and about fifty Barbies. So yeah, I have a lot of dolls, but nothing like these! They; were rather large, about two feet tall. They had many joints so, their positioning abilities were phenomenal. What really go my attention were their faces. They had very anime-like features, and I LOVE anime. The paint on their faces was so pretty. I loved how they had glossy lips. So cute!
I just had to ask what they were. They said they were Super Dollfies, or BJD’s (Ball Jointed Dolls). They even gave me their doll’s names. They freaking had names! I found out that even their eyes and wigs can be changed. Oh, the possibilities!
I had to have one. I knew I had to be one of those girls drinking tea and showing off their precious Dollfie! So, when I got home, I went online and found “Volks” the great god of all Super Dollfies. I was in heaven! There were so many BJD’s. I found clothes, shoes, wigs, eyes, face up, and even shoes! Then I had to look for the price… “Holy Crap, Look at all of those zeros!” At least that was just yen… But, even when converted the price still came out to the unholy $800! So, sadly I had to give up on my dream… For Now!
Later on, after dreaming of getting my hands on one of these beauties, I found it, the wonderful site that is Bobobie Doll Mall. Get this, Bobobie sells beautiful 60 cm BJD’s for $170! I thought I’d faint. My dream was much closer than before. Then a few months later I got my taxes done and it looks like I get to get my first BJD in about two months. The little bugger's mine! So, from here on you get to follow me on my quest to get my very first BJD.
