Hello, readers! Whether you came here on purpose or if this is your first time even hearing the acronym "BJD," I hope this blog can be of help.
The information here comes from various sources, and I will try to link back to them as often as possible. Some things linked may be member-only threads in forums, though, so please keep that in mind.
Now, then. What is a BJD? Is it different from an ABJD? Is my Pullip considered a BJD? Well, BJD typically stands for "ball-jointed doll" and that's defined as having ball-and-socket joints that are put together with elastic string. Though Den of Angels has certain restrictions on what dolls can be posted based on aesthetics and number of joints (which often excludes babyish Nappy Choos and several anthropomorphic dolls) a BJD will be defined here regardless of whether it is an anthro or if it has joints in the "right" places. What is not considered a BJD in this blog are fashion dolls put together with peg-like hinge joints. I may occasionally post some information about Dollfie Dreams, but that is because they are very closely linked with BJDs. Please do not expect to see information about Blythe, Pullips, Momoko dolls, or similar here. They have their respective places separate from the general BJD hobby, and this bog is primarily intended to be a resource for resin BJDs.
"ABJD" is an acronym that simply stands for "Asian ball-jointed doll" and is commonly used to refer to BJDs in general, though not all ball-jointed dolls necessarily come from Asia. There are many artists worldwide who put together these dolls, so I prefer to reference them as just "BJD" in general.
