Alot of things here that never even occured to me before! I'm thankful for all those links to re-assembling a doll since that's one bit I'm really, REALLY nervous about. >.<' The Eyes bit was also extremely useful. I'm excited to keep reading and hoping all my comments don't bug ya. ;)
ive never had a BJD before, and im planning on buying one in a few months to help with still life drawling, are they hard to care for? in other words, is it difficult to put the eyes in, or the hair? i was very curious about that
Thank you so much for creating this! I'm looking into buying a BJD and am trying to grab as much information on them as possible and this is a HUGE help.
Do you think you could point me in the direction of a matte sealant? Would I be able to pick one up at a local craft store?
Also, could you perhaps provide some links to various companies selling dolls? You mentioned a few in the guide, but I was unsuccessful in looking up the websites. The only one I am currently aware of is Volks USA.
Again, thank you so much for all your help. With all the information I'm learning in this guide, I may just gain that extra push to go ahead and purchase one.
hee! - thank you so much for the tutorials! - I knew BJD's had to be treated 'differently' I hear that all over the place - but figuring out *what* to do differently....
Hi! I was just wondering if it's possible, when doing a faceup, if you're only going to paint the face and not the rest of the body, to only remove the head and keep the rest of the body intact? Thanks!
Yes, it's totally possible! With most dolls all that you have to do is open the headcap; then stick some pens in the elastic strings under the head so they don't fall into the body. Then you should be able to take the head off no problem. If you need any more help, please don't hesitate to ask. :)

I only know one web site, "dreamofdoll.com" and i was wondering if there was any other sites i could go to to see about their wardrobe. because i know what doll i want from dreamofdoll, but i had just found out that they (the ones that are not limited addition) do not come with cloths!

If you go to the index at the very end of BJD_WTF, there is a list of many, many doll companies. You might try joining Den of Angels forum if you haven't already. The nice people there can tell you which companies sell clothes that will fit the doll you want.
