Welcome to Gaia! ::

I hope its alright if I make the Pullip thread. I didn't see anything in the rules. XD I tried to make a banner to fit in with the rest.

Anyway, First debuted in 2003, Pullips are Dolls made by the Japanese company Jun Planning. They are fully-jointed and very detailed. The early ones had rooted hair and a differant (more sturdy but way more ugly) body, while the new ones have a wig and a much nicer body... at least, in my opinion.

Their eyes move from side to side with a switch in the back of their head, and there is a button for each eye that you can press to make it close (for winking, sleepy eyes).

One Pullip is released for every month of the year, and they also have a male counterpart named Namu. It's supposed that one Namu is released for every three months, although they haven't released one lately.

Jun Planning also makes several other Pullip merchandise. This includes the very cute Mini Pullips, which are small versions of the Pullips. They are released of 3 at a time usually, currently they have made 7. They are not jointed but their eyes do have the same options as a normal Pullip.

There are also "seasons" or "series" of clothing that they make, sometimes they are limited (like a winter set that was released). Besides that, they also make miscellaneous things like Pill Cases & Mirrors.

Here are a few links for you to see information on Pullips:
Jun Planning: Jun Planning's official website (in Japanese).
Pullip Parade: My favorite Pullip forum and an excellent store.
This is Blythe: Not their website, but their forums also has a Pullip community (see the Other Dolls forum).
Magma Heritage: A great place to order Pullips from. They have very excellent service, and package their things so amazingly well.
Melancholy Kitties: Sells custom clothing & accessories for Pullip and other dolls as well.
Reve en Popee: A really great wig dealer for Pullips and other dolls. They make custom wigs too!

Feel free to talk about how you feel about Pullips, and your girls/boys, etcetera!

If I had money, I'd collect them. sweatdrop Thinking about getting a Namu anyway...probably Fei. I like Serpent too, but not fond of his hair colour though. sweatdrop As far as Pullip, maybe Mercu eventually...or Street... 3nodding

I have Nero and I just ordered Oren last week. I should be getting her Saturday or Tuesday.

No..! ;_;

Astrid eh? Haha, I recognize her from one of the lj communities. 3nodding

I have a Nero as well, Bambi!

Orens so pretty!

I preordered Assa today. whee

sabre>Ok, Astrid is the cutest picfic Pullip EVAAR. xd I didn't know you were a Gaian!

The only digital camera we have in the house is currently in my mother's possession, so I have yet to snap a decent photo of my girls. But I have two Alices and two Fanaticas right now. I used to have a Panda, but she's dead and in pieces...thanks to a thieving retard.

2 Mercus, 1 Jupi, 1 Assa, and 1 new Panda are all on their way. I can't wait!!!

I hope they release another Namu soon. I'm not really a fan of Namu all too much, but I think it'd be nice to have a guy for the girls. ^^; I like Wolf, but I don't find his wolf suit and dress appealing for casual wear.

melonsoda> They do have mini Pullips, just like with Blythes. ^^

Interesting. I feel better about the name now.
Chiccas name was italian too :/ I wonder whats up with the pattern.
