Ball Jointed Dolls


I have collected Asian Ball Jointed Dolls (ABJD or BJD) since 2008 and have been a member of Den of Angels BJD forum for the same length of time!
 
The majority of my dolls are from the Japanese brand, Volks - starting in 1999, Volks was the earliest company to make modern BJDs from polyurethane resin and started the BJD hobby. Originally selling dolls as kits with a view to customers customising the dolls and making them unique, Volks has gone from a company with one standard model (the Four Sisters doll; Kira, Nana, Sara and Megu were dolls with the same face and body, but different face-ups, eyes and wigs according to which 'sister' you bought) to many popular standards in different sizes, huge numbers of limited editions and a 'Full Choice System' where customers can pick the headsculpt, skintone, body, hands, feet, face-up, eyes and wig to create their very own BJD exactly how they want it.
 
As the hobby has grown over the past 10 years, more and more companies have started producing dolls, wigs, eyes, clothes, furniture and accessories. While I have a preference for Volks and I'm not actively looking for any more dolls, I like looking at BJDs from Alchemic Labo, Elfdoll, Fairyland, Iplehouse, Little Monica, Luts, Musedoll, Souldoll and SWITCH.
