So over the past few months I have been on a bit of a mission to compile a list of companies that create poseable animal dolls. All mediums are included, they just have to be made to resemble animals, real or imaginary, any size or scale. That they must be at least somewhat poseable and of an animal are the only restrictions! I thought I would post it up here in case it is useful for anyone since in all my searching I couldn't find a list that focused on just animal(not including anthros), and hopefully this way everyone can add to it!
*Note on anthros: I'm hoping to not include too many of them since there are many lists dedicated just to them already and they fill kind of a different role in the doll world(at least to me...
). This being said, I did include some anthros; just as long as they are more on the animal side of the sliding scale of human---animal anthropomorphic-ness (Official Title forthcoming.) If there's a lot of demand for anthros then maybe we could make a forum for them too, but not for this list.Here's the format I've been using. It's really rough, but at least it's quick!...Right?
Use it if you have anything to add!Name
Description: (Give details about what they make, how they're articulated, prices, what currency they use, country they're from and anything else applicable that may help people.)

Aileen Doll
ABJD company that makes some really cool pet BJDs. Most have a lot of articulation despite being small. Made of resin and strung. Have dragons and winged cats, as well as some more realistic sculpts like cats and foxes(who are really, really cute). Dragons have lots of articulation, the others have lesser amounts. Most are sold out currently. Prices seem high to me, starting at USD $135(for a blank fox)-$285 for a dragon with faceup. Based in Korea, where dolls are cast is not indicated.
