As ever, one group are doing more than their fair share to ensure Japanese remain single and sexless – none other than the doll fanciers, who once again supply cute dolls and superb photography aplenty as their argument for the best type of girlfriend being the ball-jointed kind.

The Doll Liberation Front will soon enact a ban to stop the exploitation of these ball-jointed, down-trodden, girls! We will start in Tokyo, where it is easy to get the Cult of Ishihara to ban just about anything they don't like! EQUALITY FOR THE PLASTIC!
Such a peaceful hobby.
It's no wonder it draws so much antagonism. Most humans can't appreciate the thought of others enjoying themselves with anything that lies outside their little horizons.
while this aint my kind of hobby, i do agree with ur statement
True, my hobbies aren't exactly the highest on my friends list of things to do or talk about. Hell I enjoy a good night out wih the buds as much as anyone else, but I don't listen to rap, which they do. I don't care much for american sports although I will watch the playoffs or finals of particular sports since those to me are always "When the teams play like they want to win."
SO when the topic of conversation comes up when "Hey, you catch the game last night for basketball, A. football, etc. I usually don't/can't participate in the convo, since I happened to catch the last episode of anime X Y and Z instead.
me and my nephews or my sister go to the local anime conventions since i'm one of the few fortunate to have "converted" more than half my family into an "anime watching family." Not something my usual friends would be interested in going to and spending 8 hours there O_o
I enjoy a good videogame as much as the next guy but for everyone else I grew up with, it seems that they either A. grew out of such games or B. "It's all about the FPS on the 360" which I'm not too much of a fan of.
If my "Peaceful Hobbies" make me a sort of loner or shut-in or whatever the hell it's called nowadays a majority of the time, then so be it.
"...instead of being alone in a group, it's better to have real solitude all by yourself."
It would be mine if my wallet was fatter.
If my wallet was fatter I would pay for have this creepy dolls out of my sight.
You are so right. Quote saved!
"...humans can't appreciate the thought of others enjoying themselves..."
So I can't have fun all by myself? Without bothering others? Hypocrisy.
True, people are just jealous. If you can't have a piece of pie, just poison it.
You took that out of context, fool
"True,..."
Good to see you completely agree with 22:57
These galleries combined with Rozen Maiden are slowly changing me on the inside.... Must buy....But I'm broke =(
3D printers might make this hobby MUCH cheaper very soon. So far at least 1 person has made a decent one this way: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29565389@N03/4076959127/in/photostream/
That vid is from 2 years ago, but shapeways does printing for hobbyists now so anyone who could model one could look into getting it printed.
What about a Makerbot?
You forgetting, they are cute, adorable, won't ever cheat on you, and they are always waiting for your return home.
"You are forgetting that they are"
FTFY
Also, you're forgetting that they will never give you a blowjob, don't have real girl parts, will never buy you material items, will never surprise you with surprise sex, will never give you a meaningful and loving smile.... the list goes on.
That would entirely depend on the meaning of surprise sex.
I think he meant 'sex outside of routinely defined time spans for it, that is not your initiative.'
It happened to be 'normal sex' in pretty much all occasion in my life when I had any.
so you got surprise sex? or you know some1 that does?
I must say, either you're in a parallel universe or in jail and forgot the "butt" at the begining of a word.
They can't really be "waiting" - since they are not alive. A CAT may wait for you to come home... a piece of plastic will sit there until you do something.
By all means, most of the photos are very well done and the dolls them selves are high quality and look great.
Look at you. Trying to be a realist on Sancom.
7:40 "You forgetting, they are cute, adorable, won't ever cheat on you, and they are always waiting for your return home."
This made me think of what would happen if I got killed while I was out, and my dolls just kept standing around waiting for me to come home.
It was like one of those artsy, poignant animes about androids.
It's not often I read something that completely alters my views and shakes me to the core.
I have been guilty of this, and yet with such grace and humility you explained my internal fallacy.
However brief my life, I will not forget this important lesson you have bestowed upon me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There is a difference between a hobby and and distorted reality. The workmanship, clothes and photos of these dolls LOOK great. By all means, give credit where credit is due.
But some dollfie collectors treat and talk to their dolls as if they are real. As the article says "one group are doing more than their fair share to ensure Japanese remain single and sexless" for which, if a person is already lonely - this is what could happen.
These joints freak me out always.
The tale where a creepy haunted doll and makes them play together forever sounds everytime closer...
Personally, I always thought robots should be modeled after ball-jointed dolls.
aren't they?

I'm more bothered by the face, for most of them it just looks too inhuman (uncanny valley).
But I have to admit I liked some of the dolls, like the Homura or this one is really beautiful
http://img3.sankakustatic.com/wp-content/gallery/dolls/dolls-lovely-dolls-145.jpg
Too bad the good looking dolls are even more expansive than the already ridiculous expansive normal ones.
These guys have great camera skills and good sense of doll posing, probably because they do this all the time.
Uncanny valley is when something looks TOO human... hence "uncanny"...
Not really. It's when it looks almost human, but not exactly, and the effect is more unsettling than something less human, like, uh... WALL-E. Or a stick figure. Or a toad alien.

Nothing wrong with a little ABJD. But why is it always Dolfies? Those things are truly terrifying.
I agree.... I REALLY don't like the uguu anime face. Dolls on the more realistic side are beautiful though.
Ive already gotten used to it :P
These pics are just pure gold. Excellent dressing and positions, the photography here is just absolutely top-notch. Really, these look astonishing.
It's a pity though that none of the images posted here have exif metadata. It would have been interesting to know the equipment these guys have at their disposal.
I agree. Give these people jobs as photographers for like gravure mags and they'd do an excellent job. Except they might possibly hate the idea of having to photograph real girls.
But BJDs are real, too!
@04:11 He means girls that aren't inanimate objects. As I understand it, half of photography is getting your subject to get in position and hold freaking still. These guys don't have to put up with that.
i just can't get into th-

damn it, white dress, strawhead and sunflowers, my only weakness...
The BIG problem is you still cannot bang them!
well you can rape them and everything... IN YOUR MIND!
Just buy a Candy Girl, they are just dolls as well and some of those tiny dolls cost the same as them.
From the few sites I browse on the topic, you can.
lol god i saw that link... reminding me never to click on 'those' kinds of links ever again O_o
Dollicons.
Dollicons everywhere.
I can never get past the ball joints. I won't even buy anime figures that have them. Just seems to ruin the illusion for me.
It adds a certain eye appeal seeing the ball-joints in my case. Allows for more variation for picture posing anyway at a basic level if anything.
Only figure I have atm is the Nathan Drake Figure that came with the collectors edition of Uncharted 3 and I wish now after a month of displaying him that he had ball joints or some articulation points so I could pose him in his various melee finisher stances, probably buy another figure or a mook (if they ever make them) from the Uncharted series so I can pose them in those positions.
Alas, all he does is stand there, AK on one side, staring towards the opposite side, looking bad ass, but nothing more :'(
You can always cover them with a dress or something. Or a skin coloured cloth. Or just get used to them.
A few were cute; most were a bit creepy.
I'm waiting for the funny movie where a guy's doll comes to life -- and goes all Kotonoha on him.
I guess this will be harder to clean than figures........
Yandere dolls? Lol XD
I find them quite beautiful. :P Maybe you guys have watched too much horror movies with dolls in them?
I'm too much of a "herbivore" to want to date "real" women.
And after seeing some of these... I'mma stay that way.
that's why you'll only ever get to eat "grass" while the rest of us are enjoying the "meat"
herbivores eat all day long and dont give a shit. most carnivores have to work their hearts out for a single bite... take that into account please. and since when is mean better than grass ? have you ever tasted raw mean and grass ? grass is sour but meat is disgusting and can kill you... taking it too far :) ?
eating grass is the cows job unlike meat which can be eaten raw if you notice wolves dont cook it.
Enjoying the taste of rotten meat?
@19:19 You're not a herbivore, you're a rock eater. Also, meat is corpses. Proper carnivores get 'em while they're alive. ;)
