Let's talk about BJD Dolls:)

I would just like to ask if anyone here owns a bjd doll, if yes, please share it so we can talk about it^-^because I'd like to meet new friends who have the same hobby as mine. I don't have that much friends who likes to own a BJD doll so I'm hoping there are some here. I bought a bjd doll for the first time and I still don't know a lot of things about BJD. I'm quite rusty to make clothes lol But I'm planning to buy some furniture from sylvanian families (I hope it would work well with my bjd.)

So here meet my BJD, Torenia, I call her Baby Torie<3

So cute *^* I want one based off of one of my OC's but alas money, which I don't have xD One day I'll get myself one.

One of the people I know had made a ball joint doll based on one of his OCs. Ahem. OC children. When he went to a convention, he tried to sell it for 90 USD. That... I do not know if that is reasonable, but that sounded... overpriced, even considering the materials.

The ones I've looked up both online and at conventions where all over $200. I've seen some even $500 and higher. It really depends I think on how detailed you want them and the clothing cause some clothing for them can be really expensive.

Yeah. Well I can probably buy one and later get it altered. My OC isn't over the top, just a ginger with long hair and emerald eyes so nothing to special about him but I can see that getting custom ones would probably cost more. Eventually will get an awesome one.

I really want to buy one once i have the $!
I just loovee dolls.
I collect cute/Victorian porcelain dolls and want to expand to ball jointed dolls as well.

I've been pricing stuff out online recently
i also found some  ball jointed dolls called "J dolls"  the dolls and outfits are based off streets in asia. that i think J dolls range from 35.00-100.00  but i the ones i saw were females.

not sure yet if im making my own custom doll or buying a ball jointed doll/s and making clothes
eventually i may do both  but ahh i simply love them:)

Oh that's great, You're saving for a doll as well   speaking of J-dolls, hmm the lady which I bought my BJD told me this about J-doll:



"And I wouldn’t really classify j-dolls or Pullip as BJD since their pose-ability is not really from ball-joints. They have moveable/poseable joints, but technically, they are still not BJD. "

But the doll itself looks really good tho and at first I considered it buying as well. Its joints are quite similar to Pullip dolls, the ones who have large heads. I did not considered buying it because of the joints, but I think the good thing is that the doll itself is very photogenic when it comes to picture and it has a barbie-sized structure. 

On the first and second picture, try to compare the joints of Pullip and J-doll. Then on the last picture, you can see the BJD's have really the "ball" joints on its body.

Porcelain dolls are nice as well. I think I collected some during my childhood years.

They are quite fragile tho x.x you have to be careful in moving the joints, same with BJD.
I hope you can buy your desired doll soon and share it here with us

[size=17.77777862548828]wow that's great, the more the merrier. Nice, you were able to sew an outfit inspired from rozen maiden. I dont want to display my dolls tho coz they might get dusty .So, my baby Torie is sleeping in her box. the others are in the cabinet. @.@[/size]
[size=17.77777862548828]Yup I really love Rozen Maiden. who's your favorite doll there? For me, it would be Hina Ichigo or Suigintou:)[/size]

i really want a ball jointed doll, i've been wanting one for years.  but i just can't afford one... i have many loves but currently i want dollzone anna ^^ she's so cute~!

@otaku17, wow you got a great collection of dolls there. 25 all in all? that's so many   yup its important not to make them all dusty and yes, I also think the original series of rozen maiden is much more better than the remake. I haven't watched the remake yet but i just caught a glimpse of some episodes because my bro used to watched it. Oh we both like Hina ichigo then  she's so cute and adorable. Sorry late reply, I've been working sooo much then I got sick, got anemia  

@milkyway, oh hi there milkyway, yup I started to think and dream like you too, to own a BJD someday and now I have one  I hope you can share dollzone's Anna pic here so we can see how awesome she is:) Just keep dreaming and save money for it. I hope you'll have dollzone's anna soon:)
