Our BJD Posable Dolls

These unbranded, six little dolls are approximately 6.7" tall and have adorable outfits. They
are for a young doll collector, age nine to eleven, to dress and display in her or his room.

        A ball-jointed doll is any doll that is articulated with ball and socket joints. In contemporary usage when referring to modern dolls, and particularly when using the acronyms BJD or ABJD, it usually refers to modern Asian ball-jointed dolls. Many contemporary BJDs are cast in polyurethane synthetic resin, a hard, dense plastic, and the parts strung together with a thick elastic. They are predominantly produced in Japan, South Korea and China.

These little dolls remind me of fraternal twins. Both a boy and girl is dressed with similar fashions.

With 13 points of articulation,
 this doll is flexible!

       There are also some Asian companies that have turned to cheaper production methods by creating dolls using other plastics such as ABS. As ABS dolls in particular are manufactured using injection molding rather than being individually cast, they are generally less expensive. These dolls may be strung with elastic or assembled with hinges in their ball joints like the examples shown here.

Our sample dolls shown here:

• have rooted hair
• acrylic eyes
• are 6.7" tall
• are dressed according to theme: bunny, panda, and pom pom headbands
• where plastic Mary Janes
• have 13 points of articulation
• have hinges in their ball joints
• the boys have tightly curled hair the girls have long, silky locks

Above is the set of twins with panda themed clothing. The hats are especially cute! The boys all
have nice tight curly locks of brown and the eyes are exceptional.

      There are also BJDs made by European artists, usually referred to as Artist BJDs. These dolls are normally made from polyurethane resin, though can also be made out of a wide variety of materials such as porcelain, paper clay and super sculpey. The BJD style has been described as both realistic and also influenced by anime. Read more...

Here are is a brother and sister wearing Easter costumes. They are nearly as small as our eggs.
This little girl doll has pink hair unlike the other two in the six piece set who have grey.

The only problem I had with these adorable little dolls is seen on the far left. There are too
few plugs of hair rooted in the female doll versions. Center, the hair also came without 
finished ends. Right, I resolved the latter problem with a simple hair cut. But there is nothing
to be done about the lack of hair other than to replace it with a wig sometime in the future.
