thing you would love to see in the bjd world?

Tigerbaby: I've already emailed Fairyland customer services to see what they can do I wants my Puki Lupi!

Octobercrow: Thanks for the links, they're great I'll check them out properly when I have enough time! They might be useful for my stories. I've got my own werewolf story going on and I think I want my new girl to be one of my werewolf characters, but I know if I do I'll have to buy her girlfriend, her girlfriend's best friend and the best friend's boyfriend...and that's 3 more SDs than I ever wanted or needed! ( I'm a writer with so many universes going on at the same time...you wouldn't believe!)

I know what I want to see... a BJD vaccine, so you only buy the ones you need!

 

I'd like more clothing patterns..since the pesky dolls seem to each have their own size and shape, I realize that is a tall order, but I am so slow at drafting patterns from scratch, and my time is limited!

And I'd love to see another drow type doll, ebony black like Buff's handmade drow,

.. and more cyborg Batchix Machina dolls, with embedded wiring..though I can imagine what a headache that would be..it would be a limited for sure...

..more "real people" looking Asian girls, like some of the Domuya heads, as someone mentioned before

..more dolls based on Chinese, Japanese and Korean folklore... maybe a kirin

 

ive always wanted a mowhawk wig =]
it would be soo cool to have
i would like to have one with like a buzz cut on the sides
and really colorfull!

 

I'd love more masks.
It's hard to find any really cute ones.. D:

I've been thinking about making my own.. but, I really don't know how I'd go about doing that. xD

 

I would love to see doll sized manga of all types. I would also like to see body armor for dolls. I am planning to buy a 60cm boy and his character always had a Kevlar vest on. I know I might be able to jurry-rig something but I would love to see some company would make them. I would also love to see if they could make the articulate hands for small sizes other then the 80cm Sooms. I'm not saying tinys with moving fingers, although that would be cool, but like 60 and 70 cm dolls with possible fingers.

 

I would like more companies to make minis and look like their 60cms. XD'''' Like how CP has made MNF versions of some Delfs. Or AoD, whose minis look so much like their big ones!
So many companies' minis have a randomly different aesthetic than their bigger dolls.
For example, I love almost all of Volks' big boys but don't care nearly as much for any of the MSDs I've seen. XD'''''''

I also wish more companies would offer more resin colors.

 

More things for minis! All of the really cool accessories are for SDs. Cool goggles? SD. Pretty much any gun that looks decent? SD. I would LOVE to see some more 'real life' accessories, too-man, what I wouldn't give for different occupational sets. Lab coat and stethoscope for a doctor, goggles and a beaker set for a scientist, that sort of thing. Imagine a little hardhat and jackhammer!

 

My friend Mello was saying she would like to see Siamese Twin dolls... I thought that was very interesting.
I was thinking about asexual dolls a long time ago, and then realized they've been around forever- Volks Tenshi...

 

I would love to see jointed feet! Not fully articulated like the jointed hands are, just enough so that they could stand on their toes/heel and look more natural. And maybe sliding or jointed toes so that you wouldn't have to buy separate feet just so they can wear sandals.

Also more resin colors and mini versions of 60cm dolls would be nice, although I would die if Volks ever made a smaller version of Tsukasa.

 

omg the toadstool is rather uhm....not cute o_O....
id like to see more skin tones to select and more body types, such as very thin, athletic, chubby things like that, and i'd want to see more people in hamilton with bjd's >w<

 

Sorry, kids, the "pentagram in the palm of the hand" thing was pure invention for the 1941 Lon Chaney Jr. film. There's no correlary in folklore, unsurprising really, since pentacles/pentagrams were tools of educated ceremonial magicians and werewolves are based in folk legend. Nor did the idea that werewolves can be killed with silver come from real legends; they're either killed with traditional weapons (axes, etc.) or burnt like heretics (it's vampires that can be killed with silver). There's an interesting book on Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext04/bofww10h.htm
for anyone interested in more authentic traditions of lycanthropy.

Personally, if I were sculpting a werewolf BJD, I'd give it wolfy ears and a short muzzle, as in "An American Werewolf in London" or "Ginger Snaps." Slightly OT, but has anyone else read Angela Carter's "The Company of Wolves?" She's one of my favorite short story writers, right up there with James Tiptree Jr. and Lord Dunsany.

 

um hate to tell ya but anything werewolf vampire, or any other fanatasy creature is pure invention of someone. cause none of them are real. they were all invented by some person somewhere so there is no right or wrong werewolf conception or idea.

 

So nice of you to join our little discussion, and in such a constructive fashion. I see dismissive attitudes like yours frequently in the SF/F writing community. Someone writes a creature that's wildly at odds with the known attributes of, say, a Pooka--that it hides under beds and attacks people's feet instead of lurking near bogs in horse shape--and tells their critics, "It's not real anyway, so I can write it the way I want!" The trouble with that is that people who know what a Pooka is will be thrown out of the story, to the point they might not finish it. It also indicates that the writer doesn't do research, they're sloppy, and they're probably either arrogant or a bit thick. What would you think of a person who brings a pink Sprite with dragonfly wings and no fangs to a meetup, announces "My doll's a vampire!", then gets angry at everyone who asks why her vampire looks like a fairy? If you want your doll to be recognized as something in particular, you need to give clear hints, and putting a pentacle on a doll is not going to say "werewolf" to more than a handful of people who are diehard classic-movie fans; it will say other things you weren't intending, like magician, Satanist, Wiccan, depending on the viewer. If symbols don't have meaning, there's no point in using them.

 

maybe so, but, that's like saying because more people know or like this version it' the only right version. like saying disney's mermaids are the only "right" mermaids, because it's a more popular concept. changing a few details doesn't make it worse, or less real. because agian it's a made up thing. and if they don't like it agian they don't have to read it or buy it or whatever. but others may enjoy a different version, it doesn't make it anyless a justifable.

edit: on a side note, if you didn't want others to join in on the argument you should've taken it to pms.

 

Oh my god really? Because all this time I thought they were real

I want to see more shoes, normal shoes like what people wear. And I'd like to see sci fi inspired outfits too!
