Ball-Jointed Dolls: Where to buy

Kabaw mo asa makapalit ug ball-jointed dolls diri sa Pilipinas? I want one so baaadddd.

Ball-jointed dolls (BJDs) or Asian Ball-jointed Dolls (ABJDs) are dolls made of resin, and predominantly manufactured in Japan and Korea. They are fully posable with ball and socket joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, torso, hips, knees, ankles and sometimes even fingers. Body elements are held together with one or more elastic cords that attach to hands, feet and heads, creating tension between the parts.

BJDs are readily customizable. Wigs and eyes may be removed and replaced, as well as heads, hands, and feet. A doll may even be a 'hybrid' of parts from different companies. Doll manufacturers often base dolls upon popular characters in anime or manga. Owners often achieve a similar effect through customization, creating one-off representations of these characters, or those from books or movies. Some BJD owners or customizers re-shape existing parts through sanding them to change their contours.


They look like this:



They're also the "band members" of the band Mistula.

Hi, try getting in touch with my flickr contact: Flickr: els82's Photostream. You share the same hobby.

I'm not sure if you can find these dolls in the Philippines, not saying there isn't but I have yet to see a store sell them.

Ball jointed dolls are pricey, but to those who like them, it's worth it.

OT:
@dollmansion: Dude, this is not a trade thread. ou should have PMd the thread started instead of posting your ad here.

I'm quite active in this hobby ( though not as much as I used to be as I was in a really "crazed-mode stage" in the past ) so I think I have enough knowledge to say that as of now there are no Ball Jointed Doll dealers in the Philippines. It is all available online though and most of them ship to the Philippines. Everything you need to buy will most likely be online only. Ball jointed dolls are not yet popular sa pilipinas so it's really hard to find owners even. I myself am still searching for others that share a similar interest with me. Most of them naa sa Manila...

There is a community that has so much more information about them. I don't think this forum allows advertising so please just send me a Private Message and I will more than gladly give you the link. It is a very strict and monitored community so it may be hard to even be able to register to the website as they sometimes close registrations.
