1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

a BJD in a MOVIE!

Apr 16, 2007

    1. That was amazing! Dose any one eals think she rimends you of lady gaga? Other then that i love the twist at the end! So many prity dolls...
       
    2. i know there was another manga with ABJDs i can't remember the name atm but i know it was the two BJD's became human at night with the help with a kiss off affection from their owner and they would help other dolls its a really sweet manga from what i can remember reading.

      i would love to read the manga again does anyone remember the name of it?
       
    3. Shounen Dolls, appropriately enough.:D
       
    4. There's Lovers Doll by Mishima Kazuhiko, too. It's very similar to Shounen Dolls in a lot of ways.
      http://www.mangafox.com/manga/lovers_doll/
      It's a Yaoi/Boy's Love story about this college-aged boy who buys a 'cursed' BJD off an auction site. It's 'cursed' because it comes to life at night with the love of it's owner.
       
    5. Not really a movie, but Satyricon has a BJD in one of their music videos. It's black metal so maybe not everyones cup of tea. You can see glimpses of it throughout the video, but no closeups.

    6. I saw a whole bookshelf of BJDs in a Korean Drama once. It was called."In Soon is Pretty." It was a rad drama, too, before all the links died and I couldn't find it anymore. Anyway, there's a younger rich gal who shows up after a few episodes, and she has a bookcase of resin pretties.
      The drama, by the way, is not about dolls. :/
       
    7. You know that's one of my favourite songs and I never noticed a BJD in that video. O_O Way to go, me. :P
       
    8. I searched and didn't see this show mentioned elsewhere but I saw an anime today called Trouble Chocolate. There is a character, Hinano, who is ball jointed. She is technically a puppet made of wood but she has joints just like a BJD. ^^
       
    9. One the game front BJDs are also in Ar Tonelico 2 (Jacqlis cosmosphere features a BJD shop with parts in it)
       
    10. Hmm, I never noticed that Metis' joints look ball jointed. You'd think Aigis' would be as well.

      Anyway, I know that I posted this in another thread a while ago as well, but since we're on the subject of ball joint dolls in video games, I've seen a couple more.

      First is Ashlotte from Soul Calibur 4. Her in game shots are more BJD-esque, and if I remember right she even makes some slight creaking and knocking sounds that are reminiscent of actual BJDs.

      Ashlotte character art is here:

      And also from Shadow Hearts Covenant, Cornelia, Gepetto's marionette, resembles a BJD (pic may be NSFW. Geppeto looks like a creep in the picture, but it's the best to demonstrate Cornelia's joints):

    11. Yay for Morikubo!
      It seems that Morikubo really likes BJDs. I've seen several clips of him and some seiyuu friends out and about playing around with their BJDs and taking pictures of them.
      It is awesome to see people like him with a BJD.
       
    12. There are some in the drama Bad Boy. They are just in the background, the daughter of the chaebol says she collects them.
       
    13. There's a couple of BJD's in the Korean live action drama version of Playful Kiss!
       
    14. I dont know if this was mentioned before... but I saw a bjd looking doll in the teaser for hansel&gretel ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p_eHsvCprM
      at 0:35! I think it is one...

      And Im going to watch doll master and other horror movies with bjds i can find this weekend <3 this weekend is horror movie days with my friends LOL

      and in a lot of ali projects music videos are bjds :3 i LUV them
       
    15. I know someone mentioned Paprika earlier and someone said there weren't BJDs in it...

      I just rewatched Paprika, and there are BJDs in it (as much as they can be in an anime). They're sitting on the shelves in Hirumo's (I think that was his name) room with all the others doll and robots bits.
       
    16. Heh, in that trailer, looks like an SD head on an MSD body X3 but very cool, still!
      Also, holy crap I've loved Ali Project forever but never watched any videos... Never noticed the BJDs O__O but seeing dolls in Japanese music videos doesn't surprise me.

      And to whoever pointed out that the Rozen Maiden's aren't BJDs, A plus to you :3 they're made of Bisque and I think they have more of a wind-up-springs system rather than being strung together.
       
    17. I think they are at least partially strung; when Shinku breaks and is healed, there are images of strings reforming within the limbs.
