Ferrum Posted December 31, 2025 Despite being in this hobby for like... Two decades, I had no idea a vinyl specific forum existed? Neat! I took a break from the social side of the hobby for quite a while though, so I'm still catching up! Anyway, hi everyone! I'm not sure how active it is here anymore, but just meeting one new friend sounds like a great goal. ⭐ I'm Ferrum, or Fer ("Fair") is also fine. I've been collecting both vinyl and resin dolls since uh... I have dyscalculia. Just about twenty years! I currently use they/them or masculine pronouns, and I'm autistic so I might ask you to reword or explain things differently sometimes. Thanks! I had a DD Rin at one point, but let her go onto someone else to love her just as much. Sometimes I still kick myself a little, maybe I'll find another eventually... So when I couldn't find another Rin or other Dollfie Dream I liked, I purchased THREE Smart Dolls this year instead. ⊂(◉‿◉)つ 2025 has been a pretty good year for me financially, actually... I understand I'm VERY lucky, and appreciate them and my life so much. So far I have Kara, my Against All Odds, Haru, my Marvel, and Takumi, my Atom boy. I thought I'd like the Semi-Real style more, but I'm really enjoying the classic anime style since getting Takumi! I'm hoping some more green skintone dolls come back soon. I named and styled Kara after my own version of Supergirl, so I'd LOVE a version of Brainiac 5 to match with her. 💚 Almost all of my socials are listed on my profile page here, and I'm currently most active on Instagram. I welcome absolutely all new friends, and I strive to create a safe space for all. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
