11. I've wanted a dollfie in the past mainly because it would be awesome for anime figure drawing ... however, if you can't afford one, just don't. I have friends all of whom I love dearly who own several of these now and I have no idea how they pay for them. Likewise, when said friends complain about financial woes I can't really feel much sympathy for them. I've sold a lot of stuff that I liked when I was in a financial bind. Cosplay, doujinshi and even a VOLKs OOAK doll I had commissioned. If you have the disposable income to buy one of them, that's just fine ... but most people do not.

I remember over on the cosplay.com Animazement forum a few years ago they were trying to organize a dollfie panel and one girl commented asking how anyone could afford them and another replied, 'I live on near poverty level and still managed to buy one by skimping on things like food.' Just ... wtf, mate? I'm sure by poverty she means she's a college student going on loans ... does she really need a $600 doll?

So yeah, if you can afford one and such and will continue to be able to afford one in the future, by all means buy it. But don't buy them if you can't afford them and then complain about having no money and refuse to sell the thing to get money.

Definitely. If you can afford it, go for it. But it does creep me out when people who can't afford them go nuts. Especially since if you don't make your own clothes for it you can easily rack up the cost of the doll in wardrobe pretty quickly. Not to mention props. And faceups, if you don't do one yourself. I don't know, I just get the feeling a lot of people who buy them scoff at Paris Hilton and other famous girls with toy poodles that they spoil. Or people with kids who spoil them. It's the same damned thing, people!
