>>5978707>I guess it's just a pretty big leap (price-wise) from figures to BJD?It definitely is, anon.
For me the leap wasn't that bad, because I had other pricy hobbies before and I don't collect any other toys.
Also most doll collectors tend to have smallish collections (I keep my limit to 25 for example).
Toy collectors have way, way more than that, they just spent less per single piece.
See it like that, any other toy will now seem really cheap to you.
At least that's how I feel whenever something is released that for once does make me want to buy it.
What's 100$ for a full figure when I paid the same for a pair of eyes?
And personally, even the dolls that made me grind my teeth while ordering because of their price made me happy when they arrived.
I don't see the money I spent on them.
I see the dolls I enjoy.
