Oh my guava I have been wanting/browsing/drooling over abjds for so long... but I'm poor... >_< I really want a Super Dollfie, they're so pretty (Sara is really beautiful!)
I found a site that has cheap bodies/heads called Obitsu, but they don't look like they're super quality- does anyone know about them? They bodies are about 20-30 dollars US, but maybe thy'd be good as a starter doll? ^_^

I want one now,how much do they cost?
Ill have to wait for my birthday though =[

I don't own any, but the 60cm ones are usually around $700 for clothing, body, wigs, and makeup.

And the smaller 27cm ones are usually around $150.

They are a VERY expensive hobby!

Mine's about $500 with clothes etc.

I recently got my first SD. She's so pretty~ I hope to get my 2nd soon <3 My model is Volks Sara. I didn't change her hair, but I bought her the most beautiful Lolita dress.

Here's a few pictures:

(I know, the boots and stockings are off for a Lolita, but I thought it gave it a nice 'punk' kick XD <3)

you're soo lucky!! Sara is my fave SD! have you seen the Yo-sd version of her?? soo cute!! haha

I just joined and thought I'd see if there was already a thread for BJDs, not very many fans here but it is a small niche hobby after all.

I have a small stadium's worth of them but only eight of them are from Japanese makers. One is from an artist who only made heads - Kanon Yui. The rest are from Volks - MSD Schule, MSD Hewitt, SD13 School C, SD16 Tony, SD17 Williams, SD13 F-30, SD16 Johanna. I have a Sato FCS F-36 on the way too.

So that's my way of saying hello. :ywave:

BJDs??
Or has anyone heard of them? you may know them
under the term (actually a brand) Dollfie.

I have a Dream of Doll Lahoo named Kazuya.
He is a prince ^_^ its nice to take him to places.

Considering this forum is mostly about games, i decided to post this!

BJDs are Ball Jointed Dolls that come in a variety of sizes. They are usually
all anatomically correct and life like or all bishounen/bishoujo. ^_^

The common sizes for 1/3 dolls are (for guys) 60cm-70cm and (for girls) 55cm-62cm. And there also are 1/4 size and 1/5-6 size dolls ranging at 15cm-45cm tall!! so cute, ne?

Although, because they are nice dolls....they also come with a nice price.
I have (ok, well my parents have) spent at least £1000 so far ....yes, so far. on my BJD. But they make great companions and are lovely to have around.

There are different types of owners though. Active owners - who take their dolls out and about, and treat them like people almost (like me) and Passive owners - who prefer to have the BJDs as ornaments, and have one-two outfits for them, and just collect them and leave them on shelves or display stands.

I prefer being an Active owner, because they really seem alive sometimes.
If anyone has seen Ihnyongesa... dont be put off. and you can imagine how much that set would have cost in the foyer. with all the dolls and clothes/accessories on each of them. (most sets of clothes cost between $100-250!*sometimes not inc. shoes!)I believe the do form souls at some point, if you really cherish them.

Anyway, here is Kazuya Young-so Lim (my doll)
