When is too many too many?

There hasn't been an episode of Hoarders devoted to me yet, so I think I'm OK!

I think....

I had no plans of buying any dolls this year, and then Soom Rosette came out with their "normal" size doll bodies so I panicked thinking they had discontinued their unique and fantastic noodle bodies and HAD to put up a WTB thread for a Wings of Tomorrow Violet. After I went through a very lengthy process to secure an order for one (since they are limited and their order period is long past) I realized I just spent about six hundred bucks on a doll that I hadnt planned on! I wasn't exactly feeling dolly regret, since I would have regretted it more if i hadnt worked out a way to get her but I definitely felt a very sharp sting of: Oh! That was a lot of money...

It's actually the first time I have felt that way after a dolly purchase. I was so concerned that I went and returned $200 wortg of clothes and shoes I had just bought (first time buying clothes for myself in maybe four years?) So that I could fill that hole in my bank account a little bit.

I look at my collection now and all I see are their sweet faces, fantastic custom costumes, and beautiful artists faceups. I am terrified that when violet arrives all I'll see is dollar signs!

So now I have this strange, new feeling that seven dolls is enough for me! And it might just be one too many!

That's a good question. I'm rapidly approaching it with my 1/6's. I resisted them for so long, but now they are taking over. They are so inexpensive compared to the 1/3's that it's easy to justify each individual purchase. Especially as the many thrift stores in my area are chock full of various 1/6 dollies. I'm seriously out of room though, and cash! I only have five cents in my dolly wallet for the next 2 weeks

I have to save up for vacation so my mom put a no-more dolls until after. I'm going to save up for a couple of tinies though. (Hujoo and Obitsu.)

Well, there are still places for me and my husband to sit, so obviously I dont' have too many... Truthfully? I am very happy, but I do have a great many of them. I can never decide how to count my dolls! I've been actively collecting since I was four, and I still have most of them. I did reduce the Tonner horde once I discovered 1/3 Obitsu, and I find that I can get rid of many of the Barbie horde too. However I don't ever see myself not getting more dolls. I still play with all the big ones, and the Obitsu's. The husband let's me have whoever I want, as long as I can make the money myself. Mochiko, the most recent, was a bit of a stretch, but I have wanted her since 2008 and when her owner had to let her go I just had to have her!

Lols I definitely have been cutting back on my doll spending because simply, I'm bored again. The fashionistas are a kind of crappy body now and I don't really like Liv bodies that much to drop the cash.

But yeah, the Flea markets are really drying up and I already live in an area where dolls were not zomg awesome so it's been difficult. So yeah, I'm kinda going back into a "Blah, the doll market is crap again, shun!" stage... The only dolls I'd really like to have nowadays is the Barbie Basic Steffie with blonde hair and a Gloom Beach Frankie...

It seems Monster High dolls are arriving in your neck of the woods this April. Better save up your dolly money!

I remembered reading a newspaper article about how an evil toyline was coming out in April here that was evil for teaching girls how to shave and shiz...

But woo! I'm excited (This is the opposite of the thread you know, Delbelcoure)

I guess your right *helpless giggles* My natural enabling characteristics just burst through.

I'm kind of the opposite situation. I have a hard time spending money on dollies, so I don't have any expensive ones at all. I just have 3 1/6 scale (2 Volks, 1 Obitsu), and ideas for others. The fancier, more expensive dolls seem really pretty to me, and I'll go nuts over one for a few hours or 2 weeks, then I'll forget about it. Though my friend has 30 1/3 expensive dolls, and I don't believe I'm missing out on much. I really have fun with the ones I have.
