>>5981393Guy you replied to, and yeah, I'm totally on that page with you.
I started with DDs and still own a couple, but I totally know what you mean with "they all look the same" and how everybody dresses them the same. I lost interested because of how "flat" they look, and, don't take me for one of those "my dolls are alive" people, but they're "soulless" compared to BJDs.
DDs just feel so mass produced compared to resin dolls. Resins have a kind of warmth and character that comes from the fact that they're semi-unique items that are made in very limited numbers and hand finished and all that jazz. Even the feel and weight of the materials really make a difference - holding one of my DDs makes me wonder how the fuck this thing cost $1000, while some of my resin dolls make me amazed that a piece of art like this only cost a grand.
I also don't get the clothes that so many other people, especially other guys, choose. They're dolls for god's sake. They should be about fun outfits and stuff. Go get a damn girlfriend if you want a cute girl in jeans and a T-shirt, it's really not that hard.
I'll admit that I'm not into aftermarket faceups. One of my dolls came with a spare face that I've been meaning to get done, but other than her, most of them are ones that I bought because I liked the default face so much. Pic related, she's a reasonably common sculpt but with a limited faceup that I totally fell in love with.
