OOAK DOLLS

OOAK stands for "one of a kind," which is an acronym that is widely used on the Internet by artists who make original items such as jewelry, artist dolls, fashion dolls, reborn baby dolls, weapons, sculptures, and clothing. Repaints are also considered OOAK dolls, as their original face paint is removed by the artist, who then paints the doll in a realistic, fantasy, or celebrity facial style ensuring that they are truly one of a kind dolls.

Super Dolfie


http://www.dinksdolls.com/

Super Dollfie (スーパードルフィー, Sūpā Dorufī?), often abbreviated SD, is a brand of ball-jointed doll, or BJD, made by the Japanese company Volks. They are cast in polyurethane resin, a porcelain-like, hard, dense plastic.[1] The most common standard models are about 60cm, or 2 feet, tall, taller and heavier than most comparable Western dolls. They are designed in a style which is both realistic and influenced by anime, and most models are anatomically correct. The various body parts have ball joints for articulation, and are strung together with a thick elastic cord.
