The common SD is 58cm high, and there are 60cm high 13-year-old SD and 43cm high mini SD. Prices are different, generally around 4500-8500 yuan, and the mini SD is also around 2000-4000 yuan.
The characteristic of SD is that players can modify it by themselves, because the eyes, hair, body joints, hands, feet, arms and legs of SD can be separated, and players who can't assemble can buy assembled SD. It is precisely because of these flexible joints that the SD dolls we see can Pose so many poses, either chic or elegant, and perform the scene in front of the camera vividly. There is also SD's face, which allows players to make up themselves. Whether it's eyebrows, eyelashes, eyeliner, lip gloss, or even facial rouge, players can dress up their SD as a beautiful woman or handsome guy who looks better than Pan An, and create your unique SD.

They are not real people. They are not composed of biological proteins, carbohydrates and water, but a special high-grade resin. They are the moving dolls that are popular all over the world-SD dolls. Their limbs and body joints can move, and they can pose almost all actions that humans can do. Although they are expensive, their shapes are unique in the world, and limited distribution has triggered a wave of buying all over the world. ...
This 1/3 ball joint activity Doll is called Dollie, which is the abbreviation of Doll (humanoid) and figure (toy). This doll quickly attracted many fans, was called "perfect human", and was renamed super doll, referred to as SD.
origin
Akihiro Hiroshi, a famous stylist of VOLKS Company in Japan, made a doll for his wife as a birthday present. When VOLKS' boss saw it, he inspired an idea to make a special doll for someone. 1February 28th, 999, the first batch of SD was born. This is Kira, Sarah, Meg and Nana, known as the Four Sisters, who created the round sentence Zhao Hao. Before VOLKS turned to the doll market, he made the G.kit model of Five Stars Tale. They want to fight against Barbie and Jenny who monopolize the market, but this is irrational. Considering the superb skills of the company's technicians, they decided to challenge the difficult dolls. They took a fancy to the foreign market of antique ceramic dolls, referred to the string structure of dolls, and replaced ceramics with solid polyurethane glue to reduce manufacturing costs.
Tidal rise
VOLKS adheres to the sales policy of customized production, limited sales and channel control, and divides SD into regular edition and limited edition. The limited edition is only sold at a specific time, on a specific occasion and under specific conditions, which makes the price of SD high, and various businesses that make money by speculating on SD appear, leading fans to scuffle in the auction network. For example, the original price of the limited edition "Southern Stripes" is about 7500 RMB, and the online auction price is 13000- 15000 RMB; What's more, after the master finished wearing makeup, the single head was snapped up to 24,000 yuan! Therefore, China Wayou called the Japanese Yahoo auction website "Mars"-it's really not a place where people on earth can go. Seeing VOLKS expanding SD to all parts of the world, smart Koreans made their own spherical joint dolls according to the experience and advantages and disadvantages of SD, and established brands such as AI, DELF, DOD and LUTS. They seized the online sales, focusing on the regular version, and the price was lower than SD. They can use international credit cards to send mail directly on the official website without restriction. This strategy has made Korean brands quickly popular in just two years. Anyone who has seen the Korean horror movie "Personification" will be deeply impressed by the dolls in the movie. That's right, those BJDs are Korean AI series, not Japanese VOLKS SD series.

phylogenetic tree
At present, "SD" is just a general term. The real SD is a kind of BJD, and its members are complicated and confusing, which often makes friends who come to BJD laugh and cry.
BJD(Ball Joint Dolls) is the abbreviation of "spherical joint dolls", which can be divided into SD, DOD, LUTS, AR, AI, BF, Araki and other types, among which SD is the most famous. SD is divided into angels, YO-SD, MSD, SD 10, SD 13. The most common ones are 10 children's standard deviation of 58cm, 13 children's standard deviation of 60cm, and 7-year-old children's MSD of 43cm.
VOLKS introduced four male SD models in 2002. Since then, the sales of male babies have been particularly good, and they are often fired to double the price, causing wonders that money can't buy. In 2004, the latest SD cute series was released; In the same year, 165438+ 10 announced the birth of the angel series. These actions are seen as a response to competition from Korean manufacturers.
The "Parenting Family" in Shanghai
There are many players all over the world who are addicted to SD. The most common and grand activity among players is to attend the "baby party" where many fellow players are present. We use the original big paper box or violin box to bring the dolls to the assembly place, play with other people's dolls, let the dolls pose in some special positions to take pictures as a souvenir, or exchange Mother's Sutra and Maintenance Sutra. SD dolls attract players from all walks of life and different ages around the world, and young people are naturally the mainstream.
There is a BJD club called Fv's in Shanghai. Its members are mainly Shanghainese, aged between 15-32, and young people with incomes of 20-25 are the craziest.

10000- 15000 RMB
Population: yellow, sunrise at night
A doll is raised because it is beautiful, exquisite and malleable. The first time I saw them, I felt strongly: this is the child who came to me, and I want to give him happiness. It is a kind of happiness that almost fills the whole chest.
Abenohiya, 22 years old
The cost of raising a baby: 20,000-25,000 RMB.
Population: white kite, turtledove, crow, deep, ephemera.
"I like spiritual things. BJD is full of spirituality at a glance. People around me think I'm nervous or autistic when they see me communicating with dolls, and I'm happy whether others understand or not. The doll's first suit is gorgeous wool. As a result, the cloth was not enough to make a short coat, but it was said to be a cowherd. Although my mother agrees with me, I still earn the expenses as an undergraduate. It is not easy to support a family! "
Ghost pill, 18 years old.
The cost of raising a baby: about 15000 RMB.
Population: ghost orchid, human
"I think they are beautiful, so I began to collect some related things and gradually became persistent ... I have the least resistance to beautiful things. You can't spend three minutes on dolls, just buy them, sell them if you don't like them, or ignore them. Every child has a soul, and they can feel it, so never say something like' it's just a doll'. For them, you are their life. "
Kay, 20 years old
The cost of raising a baby: about 20 thousand yuan.
Population: Pingyi, Guangxi, An Baili, Roman and Zeju.
"The first doll was bought with a manuscript fee of more than 2,000 yuan and lucky money. She was very excited when the doll arrived. She felt that the angel was coming, and she had an impulse to cry. It seems that after unpacking, we signed a lifetime agreement. Love them more, and they will become better to repay you. Never say that they are just a doll or a toy. They all have a delicate soul in their bodies, just like us. "
X, 24 years old
The cost of raising a baby: about 5000 yuan.
Population: Shahua
"I have been influenced by my friends, and later I was shocked by the EL of a women's dress in Yahoo. I bought my first doll. I think she is cute, but spending so much money doesn't hurt me at all ... The most regrettable thing is that I was not at the scene when I opened the bag, and the assembly was completed by my friend. "
The price of an ordinary SD is 50,000 yen, but this is only the admission fee-a set of shirts, pants, shoes and socks is naturally the minimum consumption. Once you get serious about SD, props and things such as modification, limb replacement and makeup will really "make your wallet fall into hell". SD photos of various shapes are widely circulated on the Internet, and fans take turns to COSPLAY SD, but there is a misunderstanding in some COSER-thinking that wearing Goth &; Lolita fashion's clothes are all SD. In fact, diversity is one of the charms of SD, not just Gothic &; Lolita, punk, fantasy ................................. Chinese and foreign folk costumes can get the best interpretation on SD, which attracts players most. The same SD, if you change his or her wig, eyes and clothes, you will feel completely different. What's more, make-up grinding can really "change face".
Appliances: writing brush, color mixing plate.

Because the model's pigments and pigments are used when putting on makeup, it is necessary to dip a cotton pad in a suitable solvent or water to wash it off when removing makeup.
clean
Need to take a bath, it is recommended to use a magic sponge, spray detergent, wipe it carefully, and finally wipe it again with water. Most dirt can be wiped off with water. Pay attention to avoid makeup, the magic sponge will wipe off the paint. If it is difficult to remove dirt, it should be sanded. If it is not necessary, it is not recommended to wash it with thinner, because the protective paint is sprayed on the surface of the doll, and the thinner will wipe it off.
Behind SD
Why are SD dolls popular all over the world?
A China player once analyzed: "The main reason why SD is popular is that it can be assembled by people themselves, according to their different preferences. Nowadays, the indifference of interpersonal relationships in the world makes people panic about too many changes that they can't control, so dolls that can follow their own wishes will be very popular. "
In Taiwan Province Province, some cultural critics attribute the SD phenomenon to the interpersonal problems encountered by the new generation of young people. "Some people also hope to make up for the lack of interpersonal relationships through dolls. Some people may have poor binding force, but they have 100% control over the dolls. Some people even talk to the dolls after work every day. " As for those "post-70 s" who have entered the mainstream of society but are still keen on "raising babies", some people think that this is to make up for their childhood deficiencies.
But in China, many players we interviewed said that they did not support these views. Many people insist on "raising a baby" for no particular reason: "Like SD dolls, just like some people like hip-hop and some people like graffiti."
Because the threshold is too high, most of the players we come into contact with in China are Generation X who have not lost their childlike innocence, but have started to have a fixed income. KAI, who is engaged in painting and owns her own studio, said that her family didn't quite agree with her "luxury" hobby, but the important thing was that she liked it. Kay not only uses her own painting skills to make up for SD, but also often takes SD to lakes and mountains to take outdoor photos for SD. And beside her, there are a group of young friends with similar backgrounds. In addition to young people, there are middle-aged people with rich incomes. They are super big households in SD, spending tens of thousands of dollars in one hand. They do not hesitate to buy clothes, but because of their status and age, they don't have much contact with ordinary young players. At present, the vast majority of domestic BJD players are Korean DOD, followed by SD regular edition, and the limited edition is quite rare, and the number may not exceed 20.
Unlike Barbie, Jenny and other plastic dolls produced in batches, SD is made by pure hand technology. After each SD is poured out of the mold, the stylist of VOLKS will personally connect its parts one by one, and then use tools such as model paint, colored powder and spray gun to make up the doll. Because of its complicated process, each SD is unique.
In addition to being unique and expensive, the biggest feature of SD is that it can be modified by the player himself, and the eyes, hair, body joints, hands and feet, arms and legs can be separated; Moreover, SD's face allows players to make up their own makeup, whether it is eyebrows, eyelashes, eyeliner, lip gloss, or even facial skin color and rouge.
SD dolls can move limbs and body joints, and can pose almost all actions that humans can do. On the surface, it seems more decorative than practical. In fact, it is this point that allows players to give full play to the DIY spirit and wisdom. Players are free to create their own dolls. The so-called freedom is a kind of free control of creativity, which can improve your imagination of SD and meet your own needs.
SD common sense
Factory conditions 1. South Dakota
Accessories: In order to emphasize individuality, the SD just bought is naked, and there are wigs and instructions in the suit. Factory SD has a set of eyes and a set of wigs. Normal SD 10 has underwear, but MSD and SD 13 don't. SD assembly products are all made up; Semi-finished products need to be combined and supplemented by themselves.
What is the difference between the new voxels of 2.2. SD and old voxels?
In terms of color, the old muscle is whiter than the new muscle, and the new muscle looks closer to the real skin and yellowish. When new muscles change their makeup, the material will become soft after wiping, but it will return to normal after drying.
3.SD structure secret
To say the value of SD, in addition to the exquisite appearance and proportion, rope technology is the key. In short, its limbs, head and joints are connected by a special rope of 1 pair 2, and there is no screw inside. It takes a lot of time to connect the limbs and the head in series, and each one is connected by hand, which can be described as "the more troublesome, the more expensive".
4. How to buy SD
At present, there is no BJD for sale in China. SD can buy or participate in online auction in official website and Japanese chain stores (Angel House); Korean LUTS and DOD can be purchased in official website and remitted by credit card bank.
5.SD's after-sales service
VOLKS service center is the first to promote the "face changing" class, with classrooms in Tokyo and Osaka, and regularly holds one-day courses to teach you to dress up SD. Due to tens of thousands of SD, a slight injury is heartbreaking. VOLKS specially set up SD maintenance department to make players feel more at ease. Looking for someone to repair the doll SD sounds a bit exaggerated, but when the value of each SD is close to 10000 yuan, it seems very reasonable. In addition, VOLKS will hold the biggest doll activity regularly, so that thousands of SD fans can get together and exchange ideas, adding more pride to the SD players in it, and will also set up a website to show the SD of the players as an official product.
