8. ¿What was your reaction when you saw for first time your BJD? The first BJD that i saw was my Kira (16cm), a Leo from Dollzone. When i saw him so little and so cute he made me laugh because i liked so much, but when arrived my Aya, a Lotus-2 from Dollzone and i saw her sooo big (60cm) i fell in love with her, for her size and her realism. Although the second BJD that i saw was Miu an Aimi (45cm) from Dollzone from my sister and i saw also so big compared with Kira!!!
9. ¿Have you taken your doll to a dolls show? I take some of my dolls, to a Korean BJD´s exhibition that celebrated in the Korean restaurant "Han-na". Specifically i took to Sumire and Abel "Hyde" the third day of exposition, and Arwen, Yuki and Sarah, the last day of exposition.
10. ¿What do you prefer? ¿BJD same as website´s dolls or customizing your BJD as you like? I prefer customize as i like to me because they are so customizable that you can create the character you most like, from films, Manga, TVseries or videogames to your own characters.
11. ¿What do you think about limited BJD?
I think it´s well but the term time to buy them is so short because some shops only sell the doll in 10 or 15 days. One month it´s ok. Another thing that i don´t like is the price because is so expensive.
12. ¿Have you created personality for your dolls? ¡describe to them!
Yes, of course, each one has her/him own personality!
You can see the profiles of each one here!: Profiles
13. ¿What kind of relationship you have with your dolls?
I have a normal relationship between doll/owner. I dress to them, comb to them, make-up, take pictures, i buy things for they... I can tell them: "How cute!" or "How good you wear this wig", but i never talk with them because they are dolls so as it is logical don´t answer toy you.
14. ¿Have your BJD nicknames?
Yes, the majority have nicknames, usually are abbreviations of their own names. Although sometimes i called them for the name that have in shop (but i try don´t do that).
Fichas
15. ¿The name of your dolls have a special meaning?
The majority. Many names are from characters that i like from Mangas, Animes, Comics or videogames, as Kira, Aya, Sakura, Yuna, Caleb and Gally. Or from films, as Frodo and Arwen. Others are for names of people or things that i like how they sound in Japanese, as Megumi, Sumire, Yuki and Midori. Others because rhyme with each other, as Rin and Ran. And others for names or words that i like as Abel, Lluvia or Sarah. And Hyde is because Hyde from L´Arc~en~Ciel is my favourite singer!!!
16. ¿Your BJD are in some special place on your room?

24. If you take your dolls with you out of your home ¿how do you transport them?
I take Kira in my bag because he´s so small, fits perfectly and is easy to carry, besides, who´s going to think that you´re take a doll in your bag?

But soon i´ll buy a special carrier bag for MSD. I don´t need bag for SD because i don´t take to the street because they are so bigs.
