All parts of the body are held together, due to the rubber cords.
Articulated dolls have been known in 200 BC, they existed in Greece and were made of clay and wood. But the modern history of these dolls originated in 1930, when the German artist Hans Bellmer created dolls with large hinges and used them in their dark photographs and other surrealist works.
Bellmer introduced the idea of the art of photography of dolls, which is inherited today by Japanese artists and BJD-fans. Influenced by Bellmer, Japanese artists began to create "their" stretched elastic jointed dolls.
Their joints are movable, and the size of these dolls reach 120 cm BJD dolls from our usual dolls are distinguished by the material and the complexity of the technology of their creation. They are not made of plastic, and polyurethane resins and porcelain. This compound is more fragile, heavier, as it is much more pleasant to the touch. Some firms can obtain such a formula of polyurethane that, when touched it leaves a feeling of the real skin.
Many companies that sell them, buy the body, head, hands and feet, to pick up wig and eyes, choose the makeup, then clothes and accessories. Thus, it is possible to collect and make your individual doll. The owners of BJD can change their dolls almost everything.
Some firms claim that BJD-doll is not a toy for children. Because of this, many do not understand why do you buy this doll? Already here it should be noted that the owners of ball-jointed men are mainly artists, designers, photographers, sculptors and collectors. They really appreciate their beauty, fragility and refinement. For them, these dolls are part of the art. The owners actively take photos of their BJD dolls, give them certain images, stories and legends. Artists regularly release artbook their dolls. Collectors also have a hard time. The cost of the doll varies from a few thousand to several hundred thousand dollars. Also, fans of BJD has its own community, online forums and chats.
