Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls
This is a thread for those who love and/or appreciate the beauty of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls (ABJDs for short.)
I am not the one who originally started this, but was started by Narule_Mangaka in the Art Discussion forum. Original is here: http://www.menewsha.com/forum/art/ar...out-there.html This is a place to discuss anything and everything about these marvelous dolls and, over all, have fun. From Wiki: Quote:

Reserved Thread. That should do it.
|
Naughty naughty me. I'm posting anyways.
|
I love BJDs, especially the ones from Dream of Doll :love: |
Lol my dream doll was a limited edition from Migi, he's long gone by now too. TwT
|
Yeah...I wanted a Black Ducan but apparently they only ever made two and they were both auditioned out in Korea...why must all the awesome ones be limited editions?!! :illgetu: |
Le sigh because the Doll Gods laugh at us puny little none Asian people.
|
lol I am Asian... |
I absolutely love BJDs, I'd really like to get an actual Dollfie or a large BJD. However I do have two Obitsu, both are at home back in Virginia though. ;_; I miss them. Ah well.
|
Lol then I am terribly sorry Fading.
Makrua was my graduation present from myself to myself. >w> |
I'll try and save up for one...buy one...then hide him/her in my closet so my parents won't kill me when they find it, along with my Sephiroth model XD (who is stuffed inside my closet under a pile of clothes at the moment) |
Wow. OwO
I have to keep Makrua away from my Uncle, Husband, and cats..>w> |
Haha yeah. Sephiroth costed me NT$5890 and a DoD BJD generally costs over NT$20000 for one. If my parents are going to kill me for Sephiroth, then they'd bury me alive if they find out about the BJD XDD |
OwO Oh sweet gods!
Yeah my uncle has no idea how my doll cost, and the family is happy keeping it that way. My husband however knows and just makes fun of me for spending that much on a doll. And keeping him away from the cats is obvious. |
Yeah. My parents were going on about, "It's ridiculous spending that much on a model/doll! You could buy xxxxx with the money!" >.>; |
Well so far they haven't attacked the doll.
Instead they sit in the middle of my shots. -w- They're both camera whores and are apparently very jealous that I haven't been taking pictures of them lately. |
Oh, I love the Black Duncan... There is always the option of getting a similar mold and hiring someone to change the skin tone.
XD I guess I am lucky... My mother really wants a Limhwa Half-elf (just as I do.) Normal skin because she's seen my white skinned doll yellow quite a bit. Arnorr was partially a graduation present, we split the costs. Now, if the rest of my family found out (grandparents, uncles, cousins) I'd probably get a chewing out from them. Darn penny pinchers. My cat tries to rub on my doll and then looks at me with a smug look on her face like "Hmph, now it is mine. You no can touch without permission." She likes him. |
I don't mind the skin tone, but I totally adore the hairstyle and his clothes...I'm not familiar with how DoD works and I'm not sure if you could order the doll to have the Black Ducan hairstyle + the clothes...<_< >_>;; |
Aw, thank you. ^^ Arnorr was a limited edition from Doll-Zone. 30 world wide.
He is so much the smex, even the cat loves on him, haha. I know there was a site around that you could order custom wigs from. Kstar or something like that. And as for clothes... You could probably get even a seamstress from your area to do it or learn to sew and make it yourself. |
Wow O_O You're lucky! |
^w^;;; My animals try to have nothing to do with my Makrua.
Who is a Doll-zone Hid regular. One day I intend to track down the Migi Lucifer doll with butter skin. OwO He is my dream! |
Not bad for a first attempt. Sewed it into her leg? XD Well, at least you don't have to worry about Ken and Barbie have babies (Which I am thankful for.) Can't get the clothes off to do so. XD
There is...
Just to name a few, but there are many others... Iplehouse has a new doll I want!! She is so lovely, and elven ears wouldn't be too expensive to have modded on. Don't care for the cat face and whatnot you can get, though. http://www.iplehouse.net/shop/step1.php?number=1834 *sighs* So many dolls, so little... Money. ._. I wish you luck on your tracking! And I just got the mental image of a person taking a magnifying glass to a computer with animal tracks all over the screen to find the right set of tracks for a doll. |
Howdy! I've been into BJDs for... three or four years now, I forget the actual time frame. x3 I currently have two of my own - a Migidoll Ryu and an Elfdoll June - and I've got plans for two more~ I could dig around in my photobucket for a couple pictures, if anyone was interested in seeing them. |
@ Yal: Please please show us!
And the other two... Barbie and Ken are siblings...>w> They were based off a brother and sister who donated a nut ton to charity back in le day. So INCEST BABIES!!! |
