Yes, dolls! Perhaps the nerdiest (or just plain pathetic) hobby/addiction. Anyone collect any type of doll what-so-ever? I collect just about all I can get my hands on, but am currently working namely on antique dolls and ABJDs.

I only own one ABJD as of current and he is my most prized doll. I named him Arnorr Rosarius 'Whitecrow' :3 He is a full-set DZ Ian limited to 30 world-wide, and I currently actually have him out of his default clothing and wig.

Actually I sort of collect dolls too, in a sense.

Mine are mostly action figures from things that I think are crazy awesome, but my favorite doll I own is this one:

This is a doll of Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, back when he was the guitarist of The Misfits! (Who is one of my favorite bands ever!)

But sadly with all of my collections nothing is in their boxes anymore, but I don't collect anything for money so I suppose that's ok.

I also have figures from Mega Man, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy, The Xmen, Marvel Legends, Batman, Street Fghter and I have figures of Marilyn Manson, Earthwor Jim and a few others. And yes, some are still played with, especially when the little siblings are over! xd

Just as long as you get enjoyment from thy collection, money doesn't make a difference. :3 Most of my porcelain dolls aren't worth anything, either. Majority of them were given to me without boxes and are not truly valuable anyways.

Ooo... What Final Fantasy ones do you have?

Right now I just have Vincent (Who is still one my favorite final fantasy characters ever!) and Tifa, however I'm planning to get Squall, Rinoa, and Sepheroth as well.

Vincent and Sephiroth are my all-time favorites from the Final Fantasy series. XD

When in doubt of finding them, search eBay!

I currently have three dolls I really want but don't have a chance in hell of getting the one, another there is a slim probability. Gah, why must they be so expensive?! ;_;

I know the feeling all too well.

On my part I'm having trouble getting the sets of Marvels figures required to make the Galactus figure and the Onslaught figure, even if I do that will be pricey...

Along with that I'm also looking for Rinoa and Squall from FFVIII, all the Earthworm Jim figures, and if I can find it I would love to find the Battletoads action figures as well.

Problem is, I end up stocking up on my other two collections before I even touch this one so who knows if I'll ever really add to it or not. sweatdrop

Aye, know the feeling. lol. Somethings need more time/are harder to come by so there is a high chance of spending said moo-lah on something else you really want.

Galactus and Onslaught? What/who are those?

PostPosted: Fri Jun 20, 2008 11:20 am


Galactus is this nearly god like creature who eats planets (He came mostly from the Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer series) and Onslaught is a crazy a** villian who came from Professor X of The X-men.

Both are crazy awesome. xd

Galactus sounds like my hero. XD

That's what your hero looks like. xd

I don't really have a real hero, but there are a lot of characters I like and Galactus was an interesting one for me, he's oddly great for being so simple in ways; he exist just to eat planets. To learn more about them I'd recommend looking into Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer comics, but don't watch the newest Fantastic Four movie...They mess up on Galactus way too much, hell they messed up on that whole damn movie too much.

But back to the subject of dolls, I have yet to re find a really cool website I stubled upon a while back, the whole site was about making custom figures and dolls and the guy who made them had a really nice Psylocke (Who is my favorite X-men character ever.) one, along with a few others that looked crazy awesome. Once I find it I'll add a link, since I think you'll appreciate it.

Sorry, belated response!

Hero wise, I don't really have any with the exception of a few OCs that I put onto a pedistol XP Just a nerd like that.

Ooo... Sounds awesome. ^^ Yes, please put up the link!

I am currently trying to save up and get my hands on two different dolls: the CP Lu-wen and the B&G Sapphira. ^^ The Sapphira model would make a perfect Link from Zelda cosplay. XD
