The new doll forum Lovely Everyone is open to join now if y’all haven’t already signed up.
Here is a list of the kind of dolls that is currently on topic on the forum.
- Cast Resin BJD - This section is for resin BJD that are tension-strung with elastic. They should have changeable eyes and wear wigs(if applicable) rather than having rooted hair.
- 3D Printed BJD - This section is for BJD that are 3D printed using resin (SLA) or filament (FDM) technologies.
- Armature Dolls - This section is for articulated dolls that are made of hard vinyl over an internal skeleton that provides the structure for posing. They should have changeable eyes and wear wigs (if applicable) rather than having rooted hair.
- Molded Plastic BJD - This section is for BJD that are not made of resin, but are strung with elastic.
- Blind Box BJD - This section is for BJD and MJD that are marketed using the blind box sales method.
It’s generally focused most on strung ball-jointed dolls, but some other heavily related dolls are welcome too (like Dollfie Dreams, Smart Dolls, MJDs [aka mechanically jointed dolls]).
The forum is a work in progress, so what is and isn’t on topic will likely change and evolve over time, but it’s definitely a good step away from the strict-ness of Den of Angels. :)
Also really appreciate that there are separate spaces for each type of doll category (Neighborhoods, as the forum calls them) so it’s easier to keep from getting lost in the sauce if there’s very specific types of dolls you’re interested in. Plus it helps keep the main forum page from getting hella long like I’ve seen for so many other toy forums. xD;
