BJD Doll Korean Doll

Advantages of Korean dolls Although the origin of BJD can be said to be Japan, the status of Korean dolls cannot be ignored.

South Korea has dozens of large and small doll manufacturing companies, and thousands of dolls flow from South Korea to the world every year.

It can be said that Korean dolls have further developed and evolved in form than SD, and have formed their own unique personality style.

Korean dolls are also famous for their exquisiteness, and each doll is handmade, embodying the efforts of many Korean artists.

I think such a professional and dedicated spirit of treating works is worth carrying forward and learning.

1. Structure: This kind of doll has a unique structure. The limbs, torso and joints are made of a high-grade synthetic resin, which feels very delicate!

And each component is fixed together by 1-2 special ropes!

Each part can be converted at will!

Moreover, each joint can also be flexibly put into various poses! 2. Plasticity: BJD is very malleable. As long as the makeup, wig, eyeballs, baby clothes, etc. are slightly changed, the doll will have a big change!

Even changing from male to female.

3. Height: The height of BJD is about 40cm and 60cm.

The former is about 1/4 of the height of a real person, so it is also called a 1/4 baby; the latter is about 1/3 of the height of a real person, so it is also called a 1/3 baby.

4. Weight: A 1/4 baby weighs about 2-3 pounds, and a 1/3 baby weighs about 4-8 pounds. It is very heavy and has a strong presence!

5. Price: The only countries that mainly produce BJD are Japan and South Korea. They are both countries with relatively high consumption, so the price of BJD is also very considerable!

The cheapest 1/4BJD costs RMB 1,950 (including eyeballs, wig and shipping, but no makeup and clothing accessories), and the cheapest 1/3BJD costs RMB 4,000-5,000 (including eyeballs, wig, shipping, makeup

You can choose to do so or not).

The BJD business in Japan has been monopolized by the SD company VOLKS [known as V Company]. However, there are many new BJD companies in South Korea, and their products are no less than VOLKS, and they make dolls with much more care than VOLKS.

It’s just that Japan’s VOLKS has a lot of publicity (National Baby Gathering, Angel’s Place...) and they strictly adhere to after-sales service and monopolize the domestic BJD market, so everyone thinks that BJD is SD.

BJD (Ball Joint Dolls) is the abbreviation of "Ball Joint Dolls". The more famous doll companies include SD, DOD, LUTS, AR, AI, BF, Araki, etc. Among them, Japan's SD is the most famous.

VOLKS launched four men's SD models in 2002. Since then, the sales of male dolls have been extremely good, and they are often hyped to double the price, creating a spectacle that even the rich can't buy. In 2004, the latest SD Cute series was announced; in November of the same year, the children's baby was announced.

The Angel series was born.

These actions are seen as responses to competition from Korean manufacturers.

LUTS dolls are more mature, while SD dolls are cute~~~ And LUTS-DELF is cheaper than SD, but it costs more than 500 US dollars... 4,000 RMB... The style is more glamorous than the Japanese SD dolls, and the skin is

It looks more transparent.

Ball-jointed doll (BJD) originated in Europe and generally refers to various movable human figures (dolls) with ball joints.

The ball-jointed figure has a standard body shape and exquisite details. Because key parts are equipped with ball-shaped joints, the figure can make many poses that are close to real people.

Materials such as plaster, ceramics, wood and plastic can be used to make human figures.

Because human figures are expensive to make, most collectors are adults.

Spherical jointed figures are mainly produced by East Asian countries and regions (such as China, Hong Kong, and South Korea).

Hans Bellmer, a surrealist artist from Katowice, is a pioneer in the creation of such puppets.

He encountered three things in the early 1930s: meeting a beautiful girl cousin, participating in the performance of the opera "The Tales of Hoffmann" (in which there is a tragedy of a human falling in love with a robot), and receiving a box of old childhood memories.

Toy.

Inspired by these three things and a wooden doll from the 16th century, in 1934 he made a wooden doll with spheres as joints and used it to take sexually explicit photos.

Whether it is the joint principle of this doll or Bellemen's attitude towards the doll, it will have a profound impact on future humanoid art in East Asia.

Japan learned the joint principle from Europe and began to make spherical joint human figures.

In the early days, all work was done by hand and the price was high.

Starting in 1998, Japan's "Model Village" company began to use cheaper polyurethane resin as material to mass-produce spherical joint dolls called "Super Dollfie", which sparked a trend of collecting dolls.

The emergence of Super Dollfie stimulated the market, especially in South Korea. Since 2003, many manufacturers of spherical joint dolls have appeared.

Since 2005, toy manufacturers in China, Hong Kong and other places have also begun to produce such figures.
