For all things ABJD!

Doll FAQ can be found here.

Alright... here's some good sites to buy dolls from.

http://eluts.com/
Luts has 60cm & 45 cm dolls - also one 26cm doll, but they're discontinuing that line. Check out the other companies that Luts sells too... Blue Fairy has cute minis (my friend has a Blue Fairy Jerome), D.I.M. has some smaller dolls and Domadoll has the most awesome horseybutt doll.

http://angelsupply.co.kr/eshop/index.php
AngelRegion has some really cute minis too. I bought a UFK (Unfinished Kit) from them a while back. Ren is their most popular mold - I have one, and so does my friend.

http://dollmore.net/
Dollmore makes the ugliest, and cheap looking dolls... so ignore theirs. But their site sells Dollkot dolls... and those are hot.

http://bambicrony.net/
Bambicrony only makes 26cm dolls at the mo, but they're crazy cute. I'm pining for a couple of them.

That's CustomHouse's site. Chakri is a Custom House doll, even though I didn't buy him through their site.

And if you really want to learn more about dolls, check out Den of Angels.

There's a Marketplace there where people sell their dolls and you can get pretty good deals second hand. 3nodding Over half of my dolls are second hand, bought off DoA.

Chakri bald has kinda grown on me... sweatdrop To the point where I think he looks odd with hair. But he really does need new hair.

Aww
-grin-

Hey question! Is Edan the dollie that you got that came in pieces and you had to put together?
-tilt-

Also at the luts website I was reading the notice board and it was talking about new versions and stuff and that post confused me. It said:

eLuts.com
The new type head and the old type body(or new type body and new type head) cannot be used together. The head part cannot be connected.

So that means... the new type head can't be used with the old type body. That's clear enough. But the () part is what got me. So you can't use the new type body and new type head together? Or am I totally reading that wrong? Because really why would they make a new type head and a new type body and them not be workable with each other...

I really shouldn't worry since that post was made in april 2006... but still. XD
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 5:48 pm


Yeah... I think that's just a typo... Korean's English isn't always the best.

The new bodies and new heads go together. If you buy a new doll from them, you'll get the new body & head together, so you won't have to worry about it.

Aoife was still just a head when they introduced that, so I had to make sure to get the old body.

Another site I forgot (and I'm too lazy to log back on to Ming and just edit the post)...

http://www.ainai.com/eng/

That's CustomHouse's site. Chakri is a Custom House doll, even though I didn't buy him through their site.
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 5:54 pm


I shall do it for you!!
-edits-

Yeah from the pictures I thought that Aoife was an old style head. Okies.

How hard it is to position their eyes?

Depends on the eyes. For the most part I'd say it's pretty easy, since they're just held in there with putty stuff.

Edan's eyes were tricky because they had stems... and the easiest way to get them in made him look like a zombie. The person who got me into BJD ended up futzing with them for me.

Well whenever I finally manage to get a doll I will have to find an excuse to go to AZ so you can take pictures of it!! Because I am terrible at taking interesting pictures

whee Awesome. I adore taking photos of other people's dolls. You could always use AniZona as an excuse.

You'll have to post photos when you do get one though.... even if it's just box opening pics. And I want to know who you pick for your first dollie!
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 6:21 pm


Sweet. I haven't been to an convention yet. I was thinking San diego comic con next year would be my first, since I will hopefully be living in SD by then... but hey I could go to AniZona. If I get a doll before then I shall.
-nods-

I shall do box opening pics.
-nods-
And I just might convert my really not that used LJ into a "Hey look at my dollie" LJ.

... Maybe.
