I never played with dollies as a child. I preferred stuffed animals (and still do). The only way you can get my attention with a humanoid toy is if you dress her in Lolita - like the Pullips designed by h.NAOTO. Chateau de Lune's ball-jointed dolls also wear Victoriana... but the effect is more Bride of Chucky than Blythe.
Ball-jointed dolls are collectors' items in Japan and Korea, where they are chiefly manufactured. The trend is spreading westward; I read about Dollfie obsessives in Missbehave Magazine. I don't know what spooked me more: the article, or Chateau de Lune's conjoined twins (above)!
Brave enough to put one of these ghoul-skinned, zombie-eyed chicks in your bedroom? If you live in Japan, you can purchase 90cm ball-jointed dolls, wigs, and dresses from Chateau de Lune's website. Personally, I'm going to stick to Hello Kitty.
