La Pistolera Dolls

What is a Super Dollfie?
A Super Dollfie is a ball-jointed doll crafted from polyurethane resin, a stable material that is like porcelain in look and texture. They are made by a Japanese company called Volks and are fully customisable -- in fact, the owner is encouraged to put his or her own personal mark on their doll. Glass (and plastic) eyes, wigs of differing styles, clothes, shoes, and to-scale accessories are available so that the owner of such a special doll can make them look just right.

Because of their artistic sculpts and finely-crafted features, Super Dollfie are often photographed by those with artistic tendencies. Their realistic and enchanting features, which give them a really alive look, cause many owners to give their dolls personalities and characters, and to let them tell their own stories in 'photo stories'.

What is a U-noa?
A U-noa is also a ball-jointed doll, similar to a Super Dollfie, but made by the talented artist Araki Gentaro. To date there are two types: Lusis and Sist. Both have girl bodies, although Sist's boyish face has caused more than one owner to make their doll a boy!

Other dolls? Where can I learn more?
There are many other companies that sell resin ball-jointed dolls, of different styles and sizes. For the budding BJD enthusiast, the Super Dollfie FAQ and the Den of Angels forum are the two places where you can find out everything you might possibly want to know (and probably more) about these exquisite dolls.
