>>2177491Congrats nona! It's such a good feeling to not waste time online shopping and impulse buying.
I've recently sold off a lot of old merchandise I consumed when I was a lonely teenager, mostly anime shit, band shirts, and action figures. I used some of the money I got from that to buy a nice gift for my sick friend, and she was very happy and grateful which made me happy too

I rarely if ever take pictures of myself that include my face, I mostly am photographed at cosplay events by photogs, and having something taken without my consent is freaking me out so much.

What is even the point of buying a rip-off "cheap" version if the point of a fashion doll is to look nice and have good fashion? They are not a utility rip-off item, they are purely decorative things, and they're so ugly, I doubt even kids would be interested in their dead-eyed horsefaces.

>>2201955The number of people who will buy huge 60+ cm dolls is probably like 1/20th that of the smaller dolls. Most of the Chinese companies are run by corporations instead of artists, and they keep artists on contract to constantly create new heads. So even the decent artists will churn out derps and not care. You can't get a refund on any of these things, so you want to see real photos of unpainted heads before buying anything. But when they do these "limited" dolls, nobody will see the real product until long after it's discontinued. By the time you realize the prototype was 100% shoop, you're $800 SOL. And the companies don't care, because there will always be another 100 teenagers with Christmas money to waste. And if you try to sell a 60+ cm Chinese doll, even if it doesn't look shitty and you have photos to prove it, everybody will still assume that you're hiding something and trying to scam them. But they do want the body for about $200 to put a nicer head on it. It's like buying a very expensive tar baby. And next month there will be a dozen new doll heads that might look better than last years's "limited" dolls, so it's fomo gacha hell.

Picrel post has 7 photos, 1 for each drawer plus one of the closed chest of drawers. Every single one is crammed with candles. I counted 118 candles of varying sizes. For one season. This is nowhere near the worst post on that consoomerist hellhole of a subreddit but something about having an entire chest of drawers dedicated to candles for a single season is fucking nightmarish. How much of a consoomer do you have to be to think that this is in any way normal? Even if she burns candles every day in every room that's going to take forever to get through.

Tangential but I hate blindbox fags in the BJD community. They whine about how they can't afford resin dolls because they're "inaccessible" and then buy like twenty near identical blindbox dolls that rot on their shelves with no customization or creativity to be seen. Unlike with resin, they don't have to wait long or do any research or DIY or really anything creative with the blind boxes. Just order more cheap plastic fullsets for that quick dopamine hit. Then they flood the secondhand market and act surprised when nobody wants to buy them. I'm getting so tired of seeing self righteous tourists post their hoards of ugly kikagoods dolls all smashed together with shitty lighting screeching that they are heckin
valid BJDs too then they ask the most retarded questions that could be solved by lurking even the slightest bit in real BJD spaces instead of shitting them up and accusing people of gatekeeping. I'm not saying resin owners can't be consooemrs or anything but the blind box fags are so obnoxious with it.

>>2203123Sorry nonna, I'm retarded. It's the Bath and Body Works subreddit, where you can frequently find gems like picrel. You can also find sales information, immediately followed by a ton of posts on orders that went wrong- recently B&BW seems to be having difficulty charging customers the correct amounts and a $30 order might cost you $90, because why not. A while back it was exploding candles. You know, the normal things. You can read through endless posts where consoomers proudly show their vintage body care items that they kept since 2007 and still use on special occasions. If you'd like to know where to get a few lightly expired body lotions from 2014 without overpaying for the privilege, you'll find plenty of tips there. You'll see a handful of comments that carefully dance around the rampant consoomerism, but mostly it's enablers fuelling each others' shopping addictions and hoarding tendencies.

They profit off lazy people who listen to the other lazy retards who say that a complete bjd is at least $1000 or $2000 new. So $800 or $900 for a complete doll seems like a bargain, even though it's a mediocre paint job on a mediocre doll in a mediocre outfit. They could get a better plastic boyfriend for less, but that would take actual reading.

>>2203139I own a single 70+ bjd among my collection and a couple of blind box bjds. And a smattering of random older MSD dolls.
I'd say my 70+ is a very old sculpt (body 2010 and head 2012 and it's made by an artist)
And I would say that the concepts of blind box bjds are often kinda cute, even if derivative, but the quality is just. not. there.
One of my dolls came pre-stained with clothing with one accessory piece just falling apart first time I tried to put it on. The second one needed hands removed to put on her outfit and the elastic immediately stretched to the point of no return just from that. Not to mention both have hair that doesn't fit tight enough, so the fringe falls off easily.
My older BJDs are just fine, heavy, zero plastic damage outside normal resin yellowing.
I get getting blindbox dolls if you like them, but it too pisses me off when people try to be bjd-fag over them. They're a fad. A hundred companies suddenly popped up and started churning them out. And it is absolutely no wonder they are that cheap in comparioson to older actually resin dolls that size.
It's just another chinese overconsoom tactic. Can't buy high quality clothes? Get them for pennies off Shein. Can't buy quality dolls? Here are several hundreds of cheap one. It will fall apart if you don't follow the upkeep, it may fall apart just on it's own, but you've got 20 of them, you can feel like an accomplished person with so many things you own.
Sorry fol dollsperging, I am very passionate about dolls and art and it pisses me the fuck off that the market is just flooded with poor quality uninspired ai-generated slop.
