Dolls We Love (But Shouldn't)

Or, more specifically, dolls we love despite their myriad flaws that would drive us absolutely nuts on any other doll but that we easily overlook on this specific one for some reason. 

For me, it's my BeGoths Greta Vendetta.

She honestly should frustrate me to no end. Her waist joint is floppy, her body shape is silly, her hair is a hard mess of gel, her articulation is minimal and involves those terrifying knee click joints that ruin the doll if they break, her color scheme is uninspired and she has unsightly black stains all over her hands and arms.

And yet.

I can't help but find her incredibly arresting. I think it's those bright green eyes. They give her an incredible magnetism that's very hard to ignore. I suppose it's fitting since this specific character is supposed to be a movie star.

Here she is next to a much more expensive doll. Despite the leagues of difference in cost and quality, I actually can't help but find that Greta threatens to steal my attention away from Evangeline in this picture.

What about you? Do you have one of these in your collection? A doll that you're enamored with despite logically having every reason to hate it? Tell  me your thoughts and show me your photos!

I absolutely love the first catrine demew I ever bought. She's unimpressive and cheap quality but... God I just. Love her so much... She's my darling baby..

I absolutely know what you're talking about. I have Mae Tallick, Roe Botik and Vera Tabray. I love them but they're honestly so frustrating (Mae and her wig that refuses to stay on, Roe and her coils that don't sit at all like they're supposed to, Vera and the fact that both versions of her I bought had major flaws) and I've resigned myself to the fact that they're basically oversized figurines.
