Please forgive me but, where did you find all of the information? I am curious to know where you learned about the BJD company's factory workings, as well as the history of the "ball jointed doll". It will probably be a good idea to post your sources on your profile page.

As far as the process by which dolls are made, I asked around to few people that made dolls (including Donn from Bishonen House, who looked over my "the making of" section). Of course, the process varies a little for each manufacturer, but this general outline covers the most basic steps.

Also, listing my sources would be very time consuming as I've picked up bits here and there. The info I've stated isn't gospel, but there isn't a lot out there so I've mostly pieced it together myself. Since I haven't used any direct quotes, I probably won't be making a "bibliography" so to speak. It's a big enough project just to get all the info in one place. ;)

If you see anything that is wrong or even a little off...please do comment. :)

I have a question..which way do you tie the knot in the elastic so you can undo it?

I have to cut my elastic everytime i want to do anything with it....

bjd_wtf February 27 2007, 13:52:53 UTC

LOL!
I usually take the two ends together, loop them in a circle and pull the ends through. Then pull tight. A pencil or chopstick can be helpful in undoing this knot. I hope that helps! :)

Hi there... I have a tiny question here.

My girl her resin seems to get kinda shinning like glossy feeling. What can I do to get rid of this glossy thingy? Cause it seems whne I tried to put face up, the soft pastel seems won't stick much on it. i hope you can help me out.

By the way hope you don't mind I've added yea cause you really help me alot with all the infromation you wrote.

For shine, a coat or two of Mister Super Clear (or other *good* matte sealant) will fix it. This will also give your pastels something to grip when doing a faceup. It will also reduce the chance of staining the resin if you coat her first. Alternatively, you could use a superfine grade of sandpaper (always rub in circles) over her whole body, very lightly and that would take the shine off too. :) Hope that helps.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

saintaya May 22 2007, 03:52:13 UTC

thank you so much...I'll try on that and get the Mr super clear coat from my fren to seal her. =D You are really well experience. If I do have any other question I hope you don't mind my question flooded here up. =P

bjd_wtf May 22 2007, 14:56:50 UTC

I wouldn't say that I am experienced. I just like dolls, and I read a lot about them. I try new stuff with my dolls sometimes too. I hope you (and any one else) will feel free to ask whatever you'd like to know. :) Hopefully I will be able to help!

Hello,

I really enjoy your FAQ.

Have you think about translate it into diferent languages...

I would like to translate it into Spanish, if you allow me

bjd_wtf May 23 2007, 14:56:55 UTC

Lol, I am not good at other languages! If you would like to translate it, please give credit to the original author, (me!) and *please* link!

little_saikai May 23 2007, 16:25:12 UTC

Thanks a lot!!

I will give you credits, of course... but I will change a bit the format... I will upload it to wiki.bjd.net

Thanks again
