a BJD in a MOVIE!

There was a music video for Nier Automata that involved destroying a bunch of BJDs, that was pretty difficult to watch

 

I've spotted another BJD in a movie!
It's an old movie-based-on-a-novel called "Goth" (or "The love of death") from 2008.
There's a BJD at about 48 minutes in. You can see the jointing, but I think the head may be a modified porcelain doll's head. Then again, it may be an older, defunct company's doll that's no longer in production.

If you have any idea, let me know. I'm interested!

 

Poor dolls got the clown treatment... they only come up in horror movies. Time to exact revenge and shell a clown doll for maximum terror...
*orders Mu Yanzi*

 

I snorted my coffee out

 

Don't let the trapping fool you, this isn't a horror movie! No jump-scares, no crazed maniacs... no blood! Not a drop to be seen in this movie. The doll was just part of an establishing shot inside the bedroom of a goth girl, that's all!

Then again, on the other hand... if you're gunning for Mu Yanzi, I recommend Hui Xiang instead. Someone here on DoA has a Hui Xiang dressed up like a killer clown. And that was... chef's kiss!

 

I found that doll... perfect

 

Here's another fun one:

Now, this wasn't a movie, it's a 3-part OVA called "Le Portrait de Petit(e) Cosette", which first aired in 2004. The titular girl, Cosette, appears as a ghost in the story. While she does have chains wrapped around her (suggesting a marionette-like figure), she was always shown as a flesh and blood girl.

However, in a promotional party (that also took place in 2004), the role of Cosette was "played" by a life-sized BJD. She can be seen in Vol 13 of the Gothic Lolita Bible (found here: Gothic & Lolita Bible Vol. 13 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive ) where they covered the event. This doll was an artist-made doll by Etsuko Miura (who, incidentally, also created the doll for the cover of Mylene Farmer's Point de Suture album).

So... another movie(-related) random BJD sighting (that's not a horror movie)!

 

So, in yugioh gx, "what a doll!" an obvious bjd comes to life and duels Jaden. but her doll monsters are kinda nasty.

 

I'm not sure if this counts, since it's certainly not a movie. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 has a doll boss named Angelic Amber that you fight that I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a bjd, or something similar. Her price tag is also $255.99

Angelic Amber

 

I've enjoyed this song, "Doll," for years, but first saw the music video today. A Volks F-01 makes a few appearances.

 

I watched this during a recent Japanese horror binge. Turns out the director is Nakata Hideo, who made Ring (the 1999 original). He's got a thing for dolls since he also made a short about a cursed Hina doll at some point.

 

This isn't a movie, and I can't speak to the quality of it since I only played for like a month when it came out, but there's a BJD character in the gacha/RPG game Honkai Star Rail. If memory serves, she's a doll being possessed by the real character, as like an extra body for her.



The joints bother me, but hey, it's a doll in a non-horror context?

 

BJD in movies sounds cool but most of what everyone has seen are in horror movies

Are there any not scary movies so they don’t get used as creepy doll prop?
