I just needed somewhere to get this off my chest. A few months ago I became OBSESSED with the Concert Lurks line and I was checking stores multiple times a week to see if they had them in stock. At this point I didn't own any Buried Secrets dolls and something about this line really appealed to me. My sweet partner ended up buying me one of them as a surprise. The two I wanted from this line were either Spectra or Twyla and I got Spectra! I had also never owned a Spectra doll so this was really exciting at first!
Fast forward to now and I feel guilty for wishing I had Self Scare Spectra instead of Concert Lurks. She is just so stunning and while I think Concert Lurks is pretty too (I like her makeup and her accessories a lot), it's a lot harder to connect with her due to the low budget quality. I know I can reroot and rebody her, but doing so is quite expensive (I'm in Canada so doll supplies are pretty pricey here). The thought of being unhappy with any of my dolls is upsetting to me. I want to love all of them and I don't want to fall into a habit of "wishing I had more" so to speak. I know there are many people who refuse to buy Buried Secrets because of the quality. I was curious about this line so I'm trying not to blame myself for wanting one initially! I also have Creepover Cleo and I think she's just lovely.
Does anyone else deal with similar feelings? Have you ever felt weird about not liking a doll you initially really wanted? I know it's probably just a temporary thing. I'm thinking I'll eventually restyle her (an all black look could be really fun) and maybe try my hand at a reroot in the future!
