World of Dolls

Do you know any dolls? Not Barbie or Jenny! Or are you a doll-collector? Just wanna share some dolls' info if you are interested in collecting them... maybe you think that collecting dolls is a stupid act but there are a lot of people in the world are doll-collectors, even the guys also like dolls... it's not only a 'girl-thing' anymore...

This is Blythe. There are two types of Blythe dolls: the 28cm (1/6th scale) "NEO" and the 11.2 cm "Petit Blythe." Only NEO Blythes have colour-changing eyes, which include the colours blue, green, orange, and pink (except for cases with limited-edition dolls). Newer releases of the Petit Blythe dolls have moveable eyelids and bendable bodies. Blythe dolls range in price (at release date) from USD$60 (ADG versions) upwards of USD$300 (limited edition NEOs). Personally I think this doll is ugly and I will never like her... Oops, sorry, no offence to Blythe lovers!

Next is Super Dollfie. SD is a ball-jointed doll, about 57-60 cm tall, they are highly customizable - wigs, eyes, face paint, hands, feet, heads and other body parts may be changed, if desired. There are a few types of SD: "Mini SD", "SD Cute", "Super Dollfie Yo-SD", "SD 16", etc.... They are much more expensive, a SD costs around US$ 375 and above, and the worst thing is not included wig, make-up and outfit! Terrible isn't it? Not many people can afford it..Usually you have to buy it online... Some of them look good but some look a bit scary to me!
Heard of Momoko? Momoko is a 1/6 scale (27cm, 10.6 inch) Japanese fashion doll. The Momoko doll, has visible joints and good flexibility, able to tilt and rotate her head, bend and rotate the elbows, bend the knees, slightly flex and bend near the waist, flex the wrists and ankles, and so on. The Momoko doll is able to stand on her own without help, though a white metal stand is included. The Momoko doll costs about US$70 and above.

J-doll is another doll quite similar to Momoko. J-doll is also from Japan, 27cm tall, costs about US$70 and above.
Here comes my Pullip and TaeYang! Pullip is a collectible fashion doll. It was created by the Korean company Cheonsang Cheoha and marketed by Jun Planning of Japan. Pullips are released on a monthly basis, and there are additional limited release exclusives sold occasionally. Each edition has a unique name with distinct face make-up, hair, outfit, accessories, and box. Pullip has a unique eye mechanism that allows the eyes to move back and forth, and wink, using levers on the back of the head. Pullips are highly articulated. Pullip can be personalized and customized. Pullip is about 12 inches tall with an oversized head. The body is about 9 inches tall (1:6 scale), the size of many fashion dolls such as Barbie and Jenny. Taeyang was introduced in 2006 as the second male counterpart of the Pullip doll. He is about 34 cm in height; taller than Pullip and the same articulated body as his predecassor, Namu. He has a realistic head and an eye mechanism that allows side to side eye movement as well as individual blinking.


So any of the dolls interest you? I'm totally addicted to Pullip and TaeYang!
