Hey there. Awesome data base of information. I have a few questions and they seem a bit silly to me, but you may know the answers.

1. What should you do if your doll faceplants and chips/cracks? Should you replace the head, or can you fill in the cracks and make her/him all better?

2. Can you dye the dolls wigs by hand? With a color that could wash out? Or is it all dependant on type of fur/saran/hair?

3. Are you a reader of Haute Doll, by any chance?

4. How long would a face up, company made and sealed proper, last? How often do you recommend faceupping?

5. Do doll sellers/traders usually trade a large doll, say a 62cm for a smaller one?

Sorry. I have alot of Questions. I hope to get "Kira" soon, and Id like to be prepared for him.

1. Often damage can be fixed by light sanding or the addition of apoxie. I recommend a professional customizer do this though ( ... )

I do like Haute Doll, but I'd rather contribute as an editor than a writer. ;)

I think I have about 10 dolls right now and about 10 floating heads that still need bodies.

I'm so happy for you that you'll be getting your first doll. They are so amazing! I hope Kira makes you very happy and feel free to come back with questions at any time. :)

bjd face-ups anonymous July 26 2008, 21:18:18 UTC

hey, i was just wondering if you absolutely HAD to take apart your bjd when giving them a face-up.
thanks!

Re: bjd face-ups bjd_wtf August 18 2008, 23:37:50 UTC

No, you don't absolutely have to...unless you want paint and sealant all over them, their clothes, wigs and eyes.

Hi!
I've "discovered" BJDs a couple of days ago and instantly fell in love. I fund this journal while looking for information about them and it's been very helpful, so thank you very much^^

Also, I have a rather strange question. You see the thing is that right now I have neither the money nor the space for a BJD but I was thinking... I'd like to do the faceup myself, and practice makes perfect right? If I made faces from clay and sprayed them with sealant, would the surface be similar to that of a doll? I mean would they be useful for faceup practice? Oh, and how do you deffine a "good" sealant?

I would recommend that you buy an obitsu head (available at junkyspot.com) or a dollfie dream head (available at volksusa.com). These heads are made of vinyl, but they are similar to resin bjd. You can use the same sealants, paints and pastels that you can use on resin. Vinyl heads are cheaper, also. Good Luck!

dollfie anonymous January 14 2009, 16:17:48 UTC

I am new to the dollfie community. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful information. I was wondering if you could possibly help me. A couple of years ago I bought a dollfie head. It is gorgeous and I now want a body. But I can't seem to find any information about it. It is marked Rcn "Little Fair". I do not know what company made her or what size body to get. The head is much bigger than a barbie head. Smaller than a tennis ball. Any information that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Paige

It sounds like you have an Angel Region Little Fair Ren. I believe their website is located in the index. You should be able to find a Little Fair body there for her. Hope that helps!
