- Hello lovely people
This video is a brief overview on a a few dolls you might've seen around if you're in lolita fashion or any other Japanese fashion.
Pullip and Blythe tend to have a lot of similarities but what are the differences.
If you've made it this far please comment your favourite fashion doll
ok byeeeee
I can confirm that I dove head first into the world of dolls, esp ball-jointed dolls, due to egl fashion lol. They really are adjacent hobbies. I'd been wearing old school lolita fashion for a few years, came across other egl enthusiasts who are also bjd enthusiasts and later found a video about how the Japanese garage/mecha kit company, Volks, began producing bjds in the 90s. The history and artistry of it fascinates to me, and the uncanny "aura" or feeling that dolls often provoke in people is actually a large part of what attracts me to them. I've always been a fan of oddities and spooky things.
As for Blythes and Pulips, I appreciate seeing what ppl do with them, as doll customization is simply fun to see, but their proportions are not to my tastes. I didn't know that you could change their eye color with the blinking mechanism, though. The engineering of dolls is also fascinating to me, and that's such a cool feature.
I think dollfies can look ethereal and have characteristics that make them most suited for gothic & lolita styles. I never got into doll collecting even though I thought they were really beautiful, I was afraid of spending the money and then not doing anything with the doll. My (now ex) bf had a dollfie though and it was interesting to finally see irl. I prefer pullips a bit over Blythe, but (just like you) I think their proportions are a bit too comical/unrealistic. I do love the brand collabs and all of the customization that people do to them.
