Ball jointed dolls...

[Milleram]

So cute! I don't know why I don't really care for Blythes but I know they have a huge following... I think maybe their eyes and heads are just TOO big for me and it creeps me out a little. XD

Thank you! c: And yeah, I know a lot of people who don't care for Blythes. XD I actually like their big eyes! I find them to be really expressive. I guess I don't mind that they're a little creepy because I like creepy/cute things in general, so they kinda fit my aesthetic. c;

I would love to get a BJD one day, but they're so expensive

Joan is such a nice name! I hope you're able to get your own one day. c:

^Joan looks super cute, I love that retro dress!

Been kinda wanting a Pullip or just some better other bjd.. someday when I get more dosh I guess they all look so cool and I love customizing and stuff!

Thanks! c: I've never been brave enough to try customizing one of my dolls! That's really cool that you're into customizing, though. c:

I got my boy in the mail, and already about to ship his back out so he can go get a face up and body blushing. I found the artist I am going with, thankfully here in the states so I wont have to wait forever for shipping. He's already so cute, I'm just waiting on his wigs and clothes to get in so I can send him to the artist with his wig for color matching his brows. =D

That's the best part, is you can re-do it however many times you watch. There are a lot of really nice tutorials on youtube I used to love watching Monster High repaints because I have a bunch that I want to repaint someday. =D

Bumping this to post pictures of Jaeger, my BJD.

I also have a second BJD now, and Jaeger JUST got sent off for his face-up cause I've been dead broke for a while now.

Anyways, I just want to spam Jaeger and show off my new girl, who probably would have been my grail doll, had I know she existed before I saw her and bought her. XD

Spoiler: Jaeger

He still doesn't have a face in these photos but here he is trying on some his clothes and adventuring in the Redwoods with his daddy.

Spoiler: Deidra(my new girl)

She's going to be repainted and this is her with her factory paint how I got her, I've since removed her tattoo and ordered her a head and wig and eyes and everything and have been planning out what to do with her.

Sorry for the spam but I am just really into BJDs right now, it's my big new hobby so I thank this post for kind of rekindling my desire to buy one, because now I am in deep. I'm planning on starting up sculpting and sewing again to make things for my children so it's really a great hobby for me since it's pulling me out of my artistic slump!!!!

My husband wants some. He really likes them, but never told anyone because it isn't very manly. I love the guy so he's gon get him some bjd's.

I like to use them for drawing. They're fun to pose. Mine are just plain, but there are some neat ones you can that are decorated.

I'm part of a BJD group on FB and there are a TON of guys that collect! I hate that people thing dolls are girly and just for kids. Like BJDs aren't for kids man, they're expensive and easy to mess up it's definitely a hobby for adults and not exclusive to one gender!

Yeah, BJDs are definitely not for kids. I can see teens getting into them potentially, but kids? Nuh uh. They're too expensive and too fragile. Some of 'em are too limited edition too. If a kid breaks a Barbie, well, you can go to Walmart and buy another one for like $15-20 or whatever they cost nowadays. If a kid breaks a BJD, you're out hundreds of dollars and that particular one you may not be able to find again if they didn't make very many.
