Searching For A BJD Shop Online

By Paulette Mason


People who enjoy collecting ball jointed dolls tend to have very specific tastes in the styles they prefer. Things like how complete the product arrives, facial features, hair, clothing options, skin tone and several other factors can all influence the individual's choice. Finding a BJD shop that caters to one's particular needs and preferences is a must.

Deciding which vendor best serves one's individual needs can be somewhat challenging. While there are thousands of companies who provide these products, having so many options does have its drawbacks. The large pool means that one actually spend countless hours perusing different websites until they find one who can satisfactorily meet their needs.

The modern version of ball joint dolls are primarily produced in Asian countries and are generally cast in Resin, though a few companies will use a more affordable plastic or vinyl. They are available in a range of sizes starting as tiny as 4" tall and spanning to an impressive 27.5" high. The figures also come in different skin tones, age representations and body types including male and female, child, adolescent and adult.

When searching through the various providers trying to decide which is the best for one's individual needs, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first thing is that not all companies sell their dolls as completed figurines. Many collectors like to fully personalize their figures so some shops sell separate body parts like arms, legs, torsos and basic head forms in which the eyes, makeup, and hair can be added separately.

Each company will have their own way of selling their product, but generally speaking, a basic doll set will include a nude body in the chosen form and skin tone, a pair of eyes and a head with items like wigs, clothing and accessories being offered separately. Of course there are also those vendors who will offer completed figures that are fully details and ready for display.

Because many avid collectors like to feel they had a hand in the creation of their dolls, there are some companies who provide several options to their customers in this regard. Sometimes a figure can be ordered completely disassembled, unpainted and with all of the edges from the mold raw and not sanded, allowing the owner to control every little detail. It is also possible to have all of the pieces assembled but still in need of finishing.

Several other options are available when purchasing these types of dolls, not all of which are available from every vendor. These products can be purchased with gender neutral bodies or anatomically correct and representing the various stages of maturity from toddler to adult. Interchangeable pieces such as breastplates, wigs, eyes, heads and hands are also available from many companies.

Perhaps one of the most important thing to consider when shopping websites it the cost of a vendor's dolls. Generally speaking, this type of figure can have a price tags as low as $100 or it may exceed $1200 depending on certain factors. Those influences include manufacturer, designer, special edition or stock item, construction material, size, accessories, wigs, costumes and many other details.
