So.... does anyone here own a J-Doll?

[PaleAmethyst]

After looking up a bit on Pullips through a recent discussion, I noticed another type of doll made by the same company called J-Doll. She uses the same body as Pullip, but uses a more, um, ordinarily 1/6 scale head.

I was pretty enamored with a few of her full sets, and while Pullip and all her friends are lovely, I think I like J-doll better. Her face is so adorable, right up my alley, and the fact she shares Pullip's body opens up lots of great clothing.

Anyway, I was hoping someone here could give me a little info on these girls. I've not owned a doll with the material she's made in either. Also, does she look good with other 1/6 dolls, like the Obitsu or Volks?

Thanks in advanced!

I used to have one, honestly, I was not a fan, their bodies are not nearly as nice as Obitsu bodies and their clothing was not the best quality, and a lot of time they have the dead fish stare to them. If you like Obitsus I'd go with that over a J-doll any day.

Now see, I have both J-dolls and Pullip and I like both. I think the face on the J-doll really is a sweet one (depending on the hair) and I really like the two I have (even though I was only meant to have one). I've got Charing Cross and Crescent Road and I like both. Mind you J-dolls and Pullips both fit into my "display doll" collection - meaning I bought them because I like them "as - is" and have no intention of changing their clothing or anything else

Things to know: Their heads are hard plastic, not soft vinyl like obitsu or barbie; their hair is a glued on wig, not rooted; they have real eyes, not painted on ones (which is one reason I like them so much).

I had a J-doll for a short while. I fell in love with her online and HAD to have her, but I didn't feel any love when I saw her in real life. They're cute, but their bodies are Pullip type 3 crap

I have 2 J-dolls. I don't like their pullip bodies (only 'cuse they can't look down) but they look great on Obitsu bodies.

I have a hestia which uses the same body as a J-Doll but has a big head and more anime look. I love her! She does have weak ankles so she has some troubles standing. So high top shoes or boots can help with that.

Here's a picture of Elsa.

I have a Dal whom has the pullip body...But never owned a J-Doll.

Thanks for posting the pic of your Hestia! Do they make her anymore?


I recall reading that the J-dolls used the same bodies as the current Pullips, so type 3 or 4, depending on the release. And I'm not too worried about her being an awesome poser, lately my interests have been directed more toward aesthetics, and when I mention Obitsu and Volks, I'm interested in scale. I would like her to have a man to hang with if possible.

Although, despite the wigs being glued, can the eyes and wigs be changed at all?

[Gift_in_Edge]

Her wig is glued and to change her eyes you would have to crack her head open. @_@
For me I don't mind not being able to change her hair or eyes.

Here's some more pictures of the different hestias.

I dunno about J-Doll's bodies they look okay I'm just used to seeing Pullip heads on 'em. I do like their tiny's though.
