Hello there!!

May 7, 2023

    1. Hey, I’m Steph! I loved dolls as a kid and never really grew out of them. Something about holding a miniature plastic person in your hands is addictive to me.

      I first learned about BJDs as a teenager after stumbling across faceup videos on YouTube. BJDs were a bit of a fixation for me, and I spent a lot of my time looking at dolls for someone with zero income. I was aware of Den of Angels, but back then it was invite-only, so I was never able to make an account (though I lurked in the threads plenty!).

      I am now a university student, and I still do not have any (on-topic) dolls! However, every now and then I will be reminded of BJDs and fall back down the rabbit hole. I love seeing pictures of other people's dolls, and researching for a hypothetical day when I will be able to buy a BJD for myself!

      Some of my favourite doll makers right now include Lillycat, Dust of Dolls, Bardo Research, Ptichka art dolls, and JacooSun dolls.

      Excited to meet you all!

    3. Welcome to the site!! The research phase before buying your first doll is such an exciting experience. It's so fun to look at all of the countless different opportunities and try to pinpoint the one that stands out to you the most. Best of luck finding your first doll; I can't wait to see what you choose!
