Sometime in December of last year I decided that I was going to try and collect all the pullips/dals, I already had at least 40 at that point (with a few doubles). I contacted a few older/wiser collectors who already accomplished the then impossible goal in my eyes and they all told me that it took them around two years to get caught up with all the previous releases and then they just had to worry about exclusives and preorders of course (and this was back before dal was coming out every month).

I won the last two I needed today on ebay ironically the seller was one of my idols as she was the first person I ever seen/heard of that had actually collected them all. She decided to sell off her collection for whatever reason so now I am going to be the proud owner of her Vivien and Winter Purezza.

Thinking backI only ever had the intention of getting one pullip and that was Shinku then it was the Rozen Maiden set. I was doomed from the start though because as the day I received Shinku as a gift I ordered Suiseiseki. The damned Kirakishou prototype made me actually sign up on the forums to try and find information on her release. If not for her I probably wouldn’t have started considering other pullips and well it just escalated from there until now when I have them all. Luckily even though she was limited I managed to get for a very nice price.

I have come a long way since I started collecting, I wonder what I will do now….
