How tall is a little pullip doll

Answer: There are four different Pullip body types that have been released over the years each has their own faults and benefits. Other issues include thighs prone to splitting and very visible screws. All Type 1 dolls have a three part head including a scalp piece with rooted hair. The Type 1 body type was only used in Enjoy Carol also had the Type 1 body but was released in before being replaced by the Type 2 body type. Type 2- In , the Type 2 Pullip body type debuted.

The Type 2 body had a soft torso, over time it has become an issue as it can cause melt when coming into contact with other parts of the body for example neck melt on Type 2 Pullips is especially common. The soft torso was also much more susceptible to staining when wearing dark colors such as black and red. Over time the body parts can loosen up resulting in a floppy doll and hands have an awful habit of disappearing.

The wrist issue seemed to have been resolved by the end of In early , starting with Pullip Ayanami Rei a new sleep function was debuted as well as a two part head versus the three part head that had been in use all the way back through the Type 1 body. There are now more Type 4 Pullips than all of the other Pullip body types combined.

The Type 4 is the most sturdy and poseable body released to date. Type 4 Pullips have their neckhole placed farther forward than previous Pullip releases which gives them a little bit of a different appearance as their head is now slightly tilted upwards. The only really faults with the Type 4 Pullip are that the hands are easy to detach and subsequently lose and I personally hate the knees as they can bend backwards. Question: Which Pullips have which body type?

Enjoy Carol was a redressed Pullip Carol that was released in at a doll party in Japan, she also came on the Type 1 Pullip body because she was just a redressed version of Carol. Which releases are impacted? Answer- The wrists on type 3 Pullip are more or less a hinge joint, which means they have extremely limited mobility but for years there were not really any issues with this.

Question- Which Pullip body type is best? Why not just go for a Type 4? Question- What are the sewing measurements of the different body types?

Answer- Images taken from pullip. Question- Height Comparison between pullips and friends? Other dolls of similar size? Dal and Byul also have the same body. Compared to blythe, mama chapp, azone etc.

Pullips can also be rebodied with other types of bodies too, the most popular choices for rebodying pullip are obitsu and volks. It is important to note that all not pullips have a skintone that can be easily matched, the Another series of dolls are just one example of dolls that are not an easy match. Obitsus can be bought from Junkyspot or HLJ , several other stores carry them as well they are available in a variety of colors and sizes 23 cm, 25 cm, 27cm.

They are also available in two body types soft bust or hard bust, as well in a variety of bust sizes. Volks are another popular choice, they are not as prevalent as obitsu they can be purchased through VolksUSA. They are also available in a variety of bust sizes. Requiemart has excellent tutorials on how to rebody dolls with either body type obitsu and volks. Question- What clothing fits who? Answer- This list is by no means definitive and is based on my own personal experience.

Pullip can also wear clothing from other Groove lines such as Sasha, Hestia and J-doll. Moxie doll clothing is a good fit for the most part. Isul- Isul can wear hand-me-downs from his big sister Pullip, most of her clothing fits him. He can also wear clothing from Monster High boy dolls and shirts from Bratz boys pants are too short! Some Barbie jeans may fit him.

Where can I buy wigs for pullip? Answer- Generally speaking pullips take size but a few companies run a bit small in which case going up a size is advised. Popular wig companies include CanCan and Jpopdolls. One thing of note is that Denver Doll and FabricFriendsandDolls carry some wigs by the listed bjd companies, they are the same wigs but it may be a little cheaper to order through them if they have it in stock because of the shipping most bjd companies are based overseas and shipping for a single wig can be fairly expensive but DD and FFD are both based in the US.

Question — What size wigs do other members of the Pullip family wear? Question-Which pullips have rooted hair? How can I rewig them? Rewigging them can be a bit difficult, releases with shorter hair can just have their hair tucked into slightly larger wigs ie. Blank scalps can now be bought via CoolCat. Do any stock dolls come with these types of wigs? Fur wigs are made from fake or craft fur, they are very popular rewigging choices particularly for boys. Fur wigs are generally inexpensive, they are available in a variety of colors and can be styled in such a way that most wigs could not.

Pullip Papin is the only doll that comes stock with a mohair wig, pictured above wearing her stock wig and below wearing a mohair wig made by sleepingelf. Mohair wigs are generally a more expensive rewigging alternative,they are available in a variety of colors and are incredibly soft. Who can keep their eyes closed? Starting in late with the release of Pullip Cheshire Cat in Steampunk World, Pullip gained the ability to partially close her eyes as well as have her eyes fully opened and fully closed.

Question- You mentioned that Pullip Cheshire Cat in Steampunk World has a new eye mechanism, what can you tell me about it? What other Pullips have this new eye mechanism? The new eyelid position gives Pullip a subtle little change of expression. You can read about the eye mechanism a bit more in depth here or get a closer look at what it looks like on the inside here. Eyes fully opened New eyelid position eyes partially open Eyes fully closed. Despite the fact that she came out in the same month as Pullip Cheshire Cat, Pullip Taffy does not have the new style of eye mechanism.

Where can I buy eyechips? How do I change the eyechips? Pullip originally wore 12mm eyechips but the size increased to 13mm in upon the release of Pullip Melissa, every Pullip released subsequent to her release including MIO kits have the 13mm chips.

Byul wears 14mm eyechips, the same size as Blythe Blythe is more popular than Byul and has a lot more eyechip options so searching for Blythe eye chips will generally bring up a much larger selection than Byul. The actual size of her eye chips Requiemart has a fantastic eyechip changing tutorial on her website here.

I love information, I feel like you can never really have too much information! Question- If this site is supposed to be an all-inclusive resource for Pullips why is there information about other Groove dolls?

Answer- Unfortunately there were not a lot of resources for the other Groove dolls like Ai Dolls so I started compiling information about them as well.

I was so enamored with Shinku when I opened her that I ended up ordering Suiseiseki myself that night via Pullipstyle. Question: Do you really own all of the Pullips and Dals?

I do currently own all of the released Isuls, Byuls and Yeolume. Question- How did you get in contact with Groove? Did they really send you stuff? Answer- Generally speaking if Groove wants to contact you, they will find a way. They sought out my contact information and we corresponded via email for a while. Groove asked me my thoughts on some Pullip related subjects and said they would send me some Make It Own items to review.

At that point I assumed it would be a single blank doll kit but I received a bunch of different MIO items to review. Question- What can you tell me about Amelia? Answer- I initially approached both Groove and Pullipstyle about the possibility of a Froggy Dal in frog themed rain gear which would have been the most adorable Dal release ever. Amelia was designed with PS in mind, she is a bunny they run a bunny rescue; she has a desert theme and they live in Arizona.

I was loaned a production sample of Amelia by Pullipstyle so I could take promotional photos for their use on facebook etc. You can try to tempt me with an insane offer on something not on the list but the answer will more than likely still be no.
