BJDs

Just wondering. There seem to be a lot of random other things that people here collect. Does anybody collect Asian Ball Jointed Dolls?

A friend of mine got one recently, and WOW! I would never have thought that a doll could actually be worth the ridiculous amount that these things cost, but it is actually really awesome. I’ve been shopping around a bit, and after I’ve saved up and gotten my Secret Keeper, I think that a BJD is going to be my next big purchase.

If anybody has no idea at all what I’m talking about, this site has a lot of my favorites, so you can go look: http://www.dreamofdoll.com/ (It’s got a version in English, happily. A lot of these sites don’t!)

I always hated dolls, especially Barbie. But I think that’s because I could just tell that when my mom got me a doll that it was part of her campaign to try and get me to be more feminine and demure.

These seem more like works of art, really. They’re amazing. And you can customize the wazoo out of them, is the other thing I like. I’m probably going to be buying him: http://www.edendoll.com/en/product/DL003937 but I’ll do the face makeup differently, and he’ll have blue eyes and a different wig, and totally different outfit.

Well, it’s the same art style, more or less. That’s why the “Asian” is the the name. They’re not generally specifically affiliated with any actual anime though. Not any that I’ve found thus far, anyhow. Though I do know that a lot of doll owners “cosplay” with them by making them into specific characters.
