I hope that this post was helpful and if you are interested in customizing your dolls, you can click here for my guide on how to change Pullip plastic eyechips and here for my post on how to change the rubber eyechips on older Pullip models!

Are you thinking about getting your first Pullip doll? And if you are already a collector: Who was your first girl? Thank you so much for reading! Great post! I completely get, what you mean: The thought of not being able to restore a doll completely into her stock appearance was so scary for me too! Before I started customising, I think that I needed the time to get used to my dolls first and then I slowly moved on a few months later. Sometimes you will also suddenly have the intuitive feeling that a doll is ready for a change and it will actually take me months to get her look right.

There is so much to learn! Could you please explain which are these three molds and how to know the mold of a Pullip? Thanks xx. The first one was used up until the end of the Pullip type-3 body.

The second mold is pretty much the same of contemporary girls, especially the face plate. An example is Pullip Tiphona from Your email address will not be published.

I know they have flexible joints, but so does the Liv dolls. I know you can move their eyes but I've seen other dolls you can do that to, I think, and they don't cost s of dollars. I ask this question because my daughter's b'day is coming up and she wants me to buy this doll. When I looked online what they are I was like "Oh how pretty. Wassup wit' dat'?

People are insane to buy this much for dolls. Yeah collectibles, right. First they have a unique eye mechanism and are more articulate then most dolls.

There eye mechanism is actually unique to Pullip Dolls which means that no other brand of dolls have eyes like the Pullip Dolls.

Their eyes can move back and forth and wink. They are more articulate than most dolls, and they have oversized heads. Her arms have 4 points of articulation: the shoulder, the upper arm, the elbow, and the wrist. A closer look at her upper arm joint. It turns completely around. I found her arms pleasantly poseable, especially compared to the Disney Store Princess dolls.

It was fun to have so many posing options. Here are just a couple of examples:. The only thing I didn't like about her wrists and hands was the fact that her hands are a slightly different color. It was hard to capture on film That just looks painful!

Pullip can almost do full splits, but not quite. I know that a lot of Pullip collectors prefer to buy Obitsu bodies because they are much more poseable wanring: if you Google "Obitsu" bodies, please be aware that they are VERY developed I'm fairly pleased with this doll the way she is, though. The only complaint I have is that she's extremely top-heavy with her over sized head, so it's very difficult to pose her without her doll stand. And speaking of her head, let's take a closer look:.

First off, here's a look at one of her cute little ears. The manufacturing information on the back of her head. Those of you unfamiliar with these dolls may be wondering what on earth the weird knobs on her head are. So, instead of having a doll that looks in the same place all the time, you have this:. And instead of a doll with stationary eyes or sleep eyes, you have this:. As you can imagine, having these sorts of options make photography really fun. And now for clothing. At some point in my research, I had heard that these dolls could wear Barbie clothing.

I was thrilled to hear this since I have extra Barbie dresses around. But the Type 4 bodies are considerably slimmer than Barbie bodies, especially in the bust line. I think it's the Pullips with the Obitsu bodies, or perhaps some of the older body types, that fit better into Barbie clothing.

Here I've pulled the dress out as far as it will go in front. As you can see, she has a lot of growing room in this dress. So, since the first Barbie dress was created for the older-style Barbies with the bigger busts, I thought I'd try a newer Mattel dress. This one definitely fits better, but is still a bit loose on top. As you can see, the dress has a tendency to slip off of the Pullip's shoulder. Still, it looks a little more natural than the other dress.

I also tried Barbie shoes on her. Some traditional Mattel shoes worked nicely. The Disney Store princess shoes, on the other hand, were too shallow I couldn't even get her foot in. This dress looked okay on her, but I felt that this particular shade of pink wasn't the best color for her.

Then I tried this Mattel Rapunzel dress on her, and it just seemed to fit her. The purple complemented her red hair nicely, and it looked cute on her. Her hair still seemed kind of like an 80s boy cut, though.

When I tried flipping up the ends, her personality suddenly came through. And remember what I said about how fun photography is with these dolls? Here are just a few examples of some of the poses you can do:. Even though I really liked my doll in her Rapunzel dress, I wanted to see what other doll clothing lines would fit her.
