So I am considering selling off 2 piggie ponies to be able to purchase a DOT Sha. There is just something about him that I am in love with!

This would be my first doll, I would start with something not so expensive but I am just not that into the other dolls Ive seen here.

So to help make my decision, I want to see your DOD's, and I want to hear your DOD stories!

I wish I had one, they're gorgeous!

my friend has DOC Petcha, beautiful doll
Here's a picture of her with all my pullips...and the box that had my AOD Wang Zi inside, hehe.


Kind of a bad picture though...but it's all I got.

I think they are very lovely also! I wish I had one too, but they're too expensive for me. Maybe one day I'll sell off all my other dolls to afford one of those.... lol... probably not though. I can't wait to see other's pictures of them!

Question about DoD.... what size of DOD would be the closest size to a pullip, (not including their huge heads of coarse.... hehe). If I ever did get one, I wouldn't want her to be huge, I kinda like the size of pullips.... bigger than barbie, but not as big as 'My Size Barbie'.

I don't know exactly, but:
DOT is SD size - 60cm
DOC is MSD size - 45cm
and pullips are like...30cm or something like that(?)

I was reading the specs on Sha, and it says that his clothes are not included in the price? Am I reading that right?!?!?

yes, the clothes are not included.
Nor is the face-up, unless you tell it to.

IMHO, Dream of Doll is a little overrated. Their dolls look really, really different in person than they do in the heavily photoshopped website photos. I've owned two DoDs, and found new homes for both. They just didn't click with me for some reason. They are lovely, but just not for me, I guess.

I thought the same thing Lucky, I used to want a lot of them until I saw them at various conventions. They really love to washout their dolls and such, Luts is guilty of it too. Then Volks makes most of their dolls look like crap in their company photos. Maybe we should give them photo lessons? lol

Wow, Over $500 for a doll with no clothes?!? And no face up?!?! Guess I won't be parting with my piggies anytime soon! Shesh!

welcome to the world of BJDs :\
the dolls are very expensive, but everyone I know who's owned one says it's worth it. *shrugs*

Lol unless you get a Volks SD, then they come with a face-up, wig and underclothes. Plus they don't yellow, or their renewals don't, since their resin is the only kind that is UV protected. :3

I'd suggest the second hand market for DOD, there's always a few on DoA and they tend to include clothes/face up/wigs etc

I had 2 DOC at one point but I sold them to fund even more expensive dollies I wanted more. I think they are ok for the price, if you are looking for a cheaper BJD, though DollZone, Angel of Dream and Bobobie are also cheaper and I've prefered my dolls from those brands.

Here are some pics of my DOC Tender Too who I sold recently. I actually liked him a lot, I got him originally second hand for around $300 with wig, face up and eyes:

DoA? What is that?

I just joined pullipstyle thinking that maybe I might find something in there I really like, plus I figure I'll learn a bit before I atually find a doll I like

I'm not big into Pullip (they just don't appeal to me) but I figured the basics for Pullip would be the basics for any BJD
