What does BJD mean in PRODUCTS

A Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) is a type of doll with movable joints made of ball-shaped components that allow more realistic poses and movement than traditional dolls. They come in various sizes, from smaller dolls of about 10 cm to life size dolls.

Whereas other types of dolls are limited to basic poses, BJDs use "ball and socket" joints to replicate the full range of human motion. This allows them to be posed in creative ways similar to actual people or characters.

BJDs are typically produced by independent artisans and small businesses, although some larger companies also produce them. Most BJDs on the market today are either made out of resin or vinyl.

Customization options depend on what type of BJD you have. Resin dolls can be primed, sanded, and painted for custom coloring, whereas vinyl dolls usually come pre-colored and prepainted with eyes already installed. Some may also include wigs or cloth bodies for even further customization possibilities.

The cost of a BJD depends on many factors including size, material used, artist markup, etc., but they tend to range in price from around $50 USD all the way up to several thousand dollars for larger and/or more complex designs.

Clothing designed specifically for BJD's can often be found online or at conventions dedicated to doll collecting. These clothes are typically made from fabrics such as cotton twill fabric or faux fur material that can easily be sewn together by hand while still looking very realistic on the doll.

Most commonly resin (plastic) and vinyl are used for making different parts of a BJD; such as heads (with face plates), arms/legs/torso pieces, hands/feet pieces and wigs etc.. Resin provides better detailing while vinyl has softer texture which helps pose the doll more easily due to its flexibility.

Depending upon the damage caused it may be possible to repair your damaged BJD yourself using simple tools like glue or pliers etc., but it might be best to take it back to where you bought it or find a qualified craftsman who repairs BJD's professionally.
