Dollfie Mythology

Volks in particular has interesting "mythology" about their dolls, and DDs are no exception. Here are some of the myths surrounding them:

• The soul is in the eyes. This is a myth that relates to all kinds of Dollfies, and it is something explored in the movie The Doll Master. Supposedly the doll's soul is contained in it's eyes, so if you were to remove them (and apparently the head) you would effectively kill or at least greatly change the doll. This is why many people keep the same eyes for the whole life of the doll, Volks-lovers especially. I do know of one bjd collector who has been collecting for about seven years. While her other dolls have gone through eye and wig changes, her first retains his original eyes for this reason.
• Dollfie Dreams are Daughters. I mentioned this one in my last post about Fumi. DDs are affectionately labeled "Daughters" by their owners, often with it capitalized.
• Dollfie Dreams are said to 'imprint." Imprinting is something that occurs naturally within certain animals. The first entity that the young see after being born is identified as "mommy" and they tend to follow and love this individual. Supposedly DDs are the same; the first person they see is the one they will love and speak to.
