Doll FAQ - Updated 05.03.08

Because I'm asked a few of these over and over again, and it's easier to post a link.

Firstly! If you are interested in learned about dolls - visit and join Den of Angels or Resinality. They have endless resources and photos for those want to know more.

Questions!

What kind of dolls are those? Do you make them?
My dolls are Asian Ball Jointed Dolls, sometimes referred to as ABJDs, BJDs, or dollfies. Search any of those, particularly dollfie, and you'll get a sharp shard of google responses. Also visit Den of Angels. I do not make them. I make things for them and paint them, but I don't make the actual doll.

how much are they?
The most expensive doll I own set me back $900, the least expensive doll cost me $400. They really vary in price depending on the company, size, and availability.

Which molds do you own? How tall are they? Where'd you get them from?
In my gallery you will find:

60cm:
Hayden - BW Migidoll Ryu migidoll.com/
Vin - BW CP Delf Moon - eluts.com/
Eiji - BW CP Delf Nanuri 07 - eluts.com/
Mouse - Volks YOSD Kuuta 2nd www.volks.co.jp/en/superdollfi…
Logan - NS Esthy Peroth dmemory.mireene.com/
Patt - BW Volks SD13 F-30 www.volks.co.jp/en/superdollfi…
Jim - NS B&G Sapphira  hk.geocities.com/layla_mi/bgdo…

Eiji, Mouse, and Logan are all limited molds and are no longer available to buy from those site. Patt is only available to order at selected volks showrooms. Hayden is only available in limited periods. Den of Angels has a marketplace in which you can find them secondhand. You can also try ebay.

Did you paint your dolls?
I painted Vin and Logan. Hayden and Jim were painted by Hector, Eiji is a custom LUTS faceup, and Mouse is default volks.

Are your dolls for sale?
No. Unless I state it, my dolls are not for sale. Hayden, in particular, is not for sale, so don't even ask.

Do you write about your dolls characters?
I do, but it's currently under friends lock in my livejournal. I'm hiritai there, so just add me and you're set. ccasionally I'll post stuff here too. You can find profiles of the boys here

Who are you on other sites/forums etc?
I am hiritai on pretty much everything I belong to. Except DA ._.

What camera do you use?
I currently use a Pentax K10D, usually with a Sigma 28-80mm (f.5.6) macro lens.

Do you edit your photos before you submit them?
Always. To the shit, even. I have several tutorials up in my gallery if you're curious about how I do it. I use Photoshop CS

What's with the birds?
Cawcaw is a hand raised pearled cockatiel I've had since I was 11. He lives with my boyfriend and I, and likes to think he's the boss of everything - which he totally is. Tardis is a loud, annoying shit. He is named after the TARDIS, and is not a time machine of any sort.

Can I use your photo for...
You can use it as long as you ask me first and let me know where it's being used. You don't need to credit me, just don't say it's yours. Easy.

Wank: Saying the following warrants a bitter return.

They look like girls.
Did I mention BJDs are anatomically correct? That's right, my doll has a cock. That makes it a boy. End of story.

You should take photos of real people
I don't want to. Dolls don't bitch and whine, and they do what I want, wear what I want, and are available 24/7. You take photos of real people if you're so concerned.

They're dolls.
I know.

HAYDEN LOOKS LIKE EDWARD CULLEN I despise the tilight fandom because I get four comments a day saying Hayden looks like Edward Cullen. Bitter. Edward Cullen looks like Edward Cullen. Hayden looks like fucking Hayden.
YOUR DOLLS LOOK STONED: Fuck off.
YOUR DOLL LOOKS LIKE ONE OF MY CHARACTERS: No, my doll looks like one of my characters.
