Alright guys, you know how rarely we use ABJD as a soapbox. We do, however, have some subjects near and dear to our heart here. Bullying is one of them. It's come to our attention that this is going on openly in the BJD hobby lately. Threats have been made against people who have done nothing wrong. Adults who should know better are acting incredibly childishly. I can't say for sure if the situation involves any of our members or not, and to be honest I don't care. Let me make something clear:
We love dolls and we love the creativity that comes from them in all forms. We more or less only accept Asian dolls because of that little "A" up there, but personally we collect and make all kinds of things.
We do not care:
- if you have a Soom or a Bobobie
- if you are pro-recast or anti-recast
- if you collect only BJDs or collect everything
- if you are 80 or 13 (younger than that what are you doing on DA?)
- if monster high dolls have balljoints or not
- if your faceup/mod is stunning or you need more practice
We do care that you treat others with respect and dignity and receive the same from them. The only thing that Inimicality and I can promise that this group will never supporting bullying anyone for any reason.

Apologizes!
My whole life turned more or less upside down from July until now and I'm just starting to be active again. I know a lot of submissions have expired so if you get a request to add something to the gallery please accept it. I should be back in the swing of things soon.
Hiccup
Hey all!
There was some kind of hiccup with submissions and a bunch that shouldn't have expired have expired. If you have an expired submission and see this, please resubmit it! I'll try to get them all sorted out over the next couple days
Might be a bit behind
I've been out of it for a few days now, it's not getting any better and life is about to get hectic for a few days. I'm not closing submissions as I should get to them tomorrow. But in case I don't and your submission times out - Pretty please resubmit it.
Random Positivity Moment No. 2
Since today was my first snow of the year - post something positive (or a dolly picture!) in the comments for a feature! Bonus points if involves snow or is winter themed.

Totally agree.
Although, with the fifth point there: Monster High dolls (and Dollfie Dream & Obitsu dolls) have ball-shaped hinge joints. These joints are engineered to have the same appearance and aesthetic of ball joints, but are still hinge joints. It is not ~technically~ correct to refer to them as BJDs, because they don't actually have ball-and-socket joints.
I have no issue with them being grandfathered into the hobby, as they're quite similar with the customization aspect which I think is the core of the hobby.
