Den of Angels

The best place to look for general info about ABJD is on the Den of Angels forums. If you have any general question, not related to my doll, search there.




• What are these things called?
Ball-Jointed Dolls (BJD) or Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls (ABJD).

• Why are they so girly-looking?
It's acording to asian and anime/manga aestethics. Androginy is very common there, and considered pretty.

• Where did you get your dolls?
Limhwa dolls - Now on Junky Spot
Souldoll
Luts
Soom

• How did you make these dolls?
I didn't make them. I bought them and just customized.

• How much are they?
I don't like to leave their prices posted anywhere... You can see their prices by looking at the company sites... Don't try to get them cheaper than the prices you see there, it's not recommended. Also, please, respect that I don't like to leave the prices posted, and don't post them.

• They're expensive. Why spend so much on a doll?
It's my hobby. Instead of spending the same money on technology, I prefer to spend it on dolls that can satisfy me artistically.

• Are you selling them/Can I have them?
No. I don't want to sell my dolls, and no offer will make me change my mind.

• What do the acronyms stand for?
SD = Super Dollfie = around 60cm sized doll
MSD = Mini Super Dollfie = around 45cm sized doll
MSC = Mr. Super Clear = Doll painting material
CP = Cerberus Project = the name of a doll making studio
MD = Monthly Doll = the name os a limited dolls line made by Soom. They're released for one month only.

• Can I draw __________?
Of course! There's no problem if you want to draw my dolls/characters, but I ask you to credit me and send me a link of your art ^^

• Can I use your photos for graphics and things like avatars/signatures/wallpapers/etc.?
No. If there is any graphic/wallpaper/avatar/etc with my doll pictures they're all made by me or have my explicit permission.

• OMG YOUR DOLL LOOKS JUST LIKE MY CHARACTER--
No, my dolls look like my characters, because they're made to represent my characters. That said, don't use my dolls photos to represent your characters, because I had to work on them, and use my creativity to make something cool. So, use your creativity too.

• Can I use the same make up of your dolls on mine?
No. I buy my dolls with a blank face, so I can make them look like my characters since the beginning. I work on their faces, create them, and spend a day doing them. If I wanted to have dolls with the same make up as mine, I would buy them with default make up.

• Why do you use Yuna as nickname?
I have an original character called Yuna, and when I played Final Fantasy X I liked Yuna very much. So, I started to use this nickname.
