    1. MSD-sized refers to the size of Volks Mini Super Dollfies, which are quite a bit chubbier than many other 1/4 dolls and have childlike rather than mature bodies. Most clothes that are MSD-sized will not fit Unoa or Minifees.

      SD-sized (or SD10) refers to the size of Volks Super Dollfies, which are 1/3 dolls, around 58cm.

    5. Star is also the name Dolkot calls their 60cm line of dolls.

    6. WS just stands for white skin, where as BW, technically, stands for beauty white, which is a Volks phrase for their white skin.

    7. I've seen it listed in a few threads, but I'm not sure what Y!J means. I was thinking maybe.. Yahoo! Japan? But I don't know.

      Thanks for answering!

    10. "Sweet Dreams," I believe--it's the way Volks describes dreaming/closed-eye heads. :)

    11. What is an SSDF???? I know it's a type of doll, and that it poses well, but what is it?!

    13. What's a faceplate? :...(

    14. Some dolls do not have complete heads to be changed. The back of the head stays the same, but the front is a face plate that can show different expressions or features. :) Examples of dolls with faceplates are Narindoll Narae, Unoa, and several Fairyland dolls.

    15. How about 'IOS'? I just found out that it stands for Immortality of Soul XD

    16. I saw someone use SM for a doll company name. Could that be Soom by chance?

    17. I've seen a lot of people using the abbreviation SD for SoulDoll

    18. I was wondering. On some sites I recently saw the term USD for tiny dolls (And no, there were no American dollars meant here ;)
      Is this a new kind of tiny doll? Or perhaps it's a typo? (I saw it here for example)
      I didn't find it in this abbreviation list (which is btw a very handy list to have) ^^

    19. Nope, not a typo at all. USD is the Korean way of writing Yo-SD. :)

    20. What kinds of things are people usually referring to when they say "OOAK"? Because it's like "this is a OOAK Soom!" but if it's a Soom, it doesn't seem like it could really be called OOAK, because there are many of it. And it doesn't seem like it would mean the faceup or blush because most dolls have unique faceups, right? What qualities does something have to have to be called OOAK?
