Have you bought a doll - and then regret it?

[Icecrystalline]

Hmmm  not sure. I do regret spending all the money I spent on all of them, but thankfully I traded for lots too, so I can make some money on them Wouldn't part with 7 though, Jina, Howl Sig, Clawdeen Scaris, Clawd Sig, Toralei Sig, Gil, Lagoona MS. I like them still.

Good to know you guys didn't make any big mistakes =) and you can Always sell.. =)

Hmm... This is a good question. I have overpayed for dolls and later regretted that, but I was a wide eyed noob, still am in many respects actually and I didn't know better. On the other hand I really like 90 % of my dolls so overpaying isn't really more than an annoyance of how silly I was.

Dolls that I regret though... That is harder because I don't really regret many, but there are some I like now less than i originally did. Cupid is a good example of this, loved her in the pictures and really liked her at first, but now... I just kind of like her. Same goes for signature Abbey, loved her on the webisodes, still do, liked the doll, because I love the webisodes, but now the doll is just okay to me.

I won't sell any of them, i am not a seller, i am a keeper, but I am a little bummed that the original two that I loved I don't like so much any more. I also adored Robecca at first and now am kind of meh about her. Don't have her yet, but she can still be found in stores.

I will probably get her, because I love the steampunky style, but only if I find her on sale.

Well, I just got Dance Class Operetta on clearance, and I kind of wish I'd spent the little bit extra on DDG Operetta, because I like her hair better. But I think I'll like the look of my Opie better after I get her fashion pack. I love the spiderweb dress! I also pierced her right ear. Her left ear is pierced to hold her mask on, and it seemed kind of silly to me that she only had one pierced ear.

I probably regret half my collection, honestly. I started early enough that for awhile I had every doll except SDCC Frankie. Now there are too many too fast, and I can't keep up. I'm a bit of an all or nothing collector.

[Nana-Rena]

I am an eclectic collector, I don't need to have them all, i just like to have the ones I really like. Unfortunately there are very many I really like. I have decided no playsets, because I suspect that I will regret those and no beach dolls, those I just don't care for that much.

GB Jackson. Which I feel bad about saying because I got a really good deal on him. I don't particularly care for Jackson so I had planned to make him into a new character by changing his hair a little. I put wings on him but I keep hesitating to change his hair since that's permanent whereas the wings just slip on and off. I keep wavering about whether or not I want to keep him. I love all my other boys but he is my least favorite at the moment.

Jackson is also one that I regret getting. I got him because he was available here and cheap, but, to tell the truth, I don't really care about him. I'm not really a seller, but if I had to sell any of my dolls, he would be the first to go.

I was excited about Cupid when I got her, even though her lips always disturbed me. I thought I would get over it eventually, but didn't. In her case, though, I think some lip repaint and maybe some new hair might help me like her again.

[Nana-Rena]

I have to agree with elonni about jackson, I don't really care about him either. Nevertheless I have him and perhaps, if I were to sell any of the dolls, he would indeed be one of the first to go.

So far I haven't really regretted any of my purchases. I have bought dolls just for their stock and sold them nude, but I still don't regret buying them. Of course, I don't really have a lot of room, so I won't buy playsets and I've had to limit myself to just one of each character. So if a new version comes out of a character I have and I like her better, I'll sell the one I had. I have two dolls that are an exception to the one doll rule, which are Cleo and Draculaura, but I only have two of each of them. Limiting myself to one doll per character really does help with the temptation of buying a doll on a whim because I really think it over and look at lots of pictures of a specific doll before deciding to buy one.

I only regret a few clothing buys.
For example, I seriously paid 10€ for Lagoona 2.0's overall, sock and arm warmer and another 10€ for Nefera's accessories.
Nowadays I would only do this again if I knew I had other MH items I could sell to make back the money.

I have become a very picky and thoughtful collector.
Before my active MLP Arena days I was sort of desperate when it came to MH because I knew nobody who would give me advice on prices, reissues, face-ups and so on.

Maybe there are one or two dolls that I just couldn't quite excuse: C.A. Cupid and DDG Spectra. I ended up taking them apart, e.g. I customized them a bit and swapped their outfits.
My Spectra is now wearing her sig outfit and will soon join the ranks of my bestie's small MH collection since I really had to reduce the numbers of Spectras in my army
My Cupid will soon receive new shoes and a slightly different face-up to make her look like a Baroque lady instead of a MH character ^^

Haven't regretted buying anything, I figure they had a purpose at that second or it is one I really want. I have been annoyed... usually I am patient and wait for the cheaper stores or sales [unless I really needed them, specialty stores], but the harpy cam was just not happening. After a couple of months of not finding her at Walmart/Target, broke down a bought her at toysrus... then two days later finally found her at walmart.  Still waiting on that Blob/Ice CAM. I do regret not buying the Nefera when I saw the random beat up one at a walmart... but that was before I knew how difficult it can be to find her.

This, kinda   I don't CURRENTLY regret my collection, but if I ever DO fall behind, I know I will.  There are quite a few I own just to own.  They are part of the "all or nothing" collection.  The DDG line doesn't do much for me, but I have 'em.  Same with DC.  But if I didn't have them.......I don't know!  I can't decide what is worth buying and what isn't.  So I just buy them all

.......I do regret not buying the Nefera when I saw the random beat up one at a walmart... but that was before I knew how difficult it can be to find her.

I have MORE "Why didn't I buy extras?" regrets than anything else!  I'd love to have a bunch of extra Neferas, DotD Deuces, and B/W SS Frankies (like 100 )  It's hard to wrap your head around spending a TON of money now, to SAVE a ton later.  I'm going through this now, actually!  I want a few extra Catrines, and Cattys, for customs.  But I won't buy them, and regret it later.  It's what I do

[saply]

I dunno! I've made some impulse buys, but usually I only resell stuff because I need money for extra toilet paper or rent or something.

One doll I regret SELLING is Venus. Right after that, they announced two new versions of her and I of course love them both :c

[rosierjay]

I've since dealt with my 'gotta get 'em all - or get *something* when there's a new doll lull !' tendencies since then.

this!
i work were they have some mh dolls so i get a discount...
have to convince myself everytime i go to work that i don't need them. cuz i know i'll regret it later.

the few dolls i did regret buying i either repainted their faces or rehaired them to make them something i wouldn't mind keeping. (howleen and skelita) i own a total of 4 character dolls and one vamp cam i use for making clothes (didn't have a standard doll before her) and eventually i'll give her a massive make over... or just sell her. not sure.
