In many manuscripts that the old travel article has written in the past, you can see two big words "glue guy" from it. As a model enthusiast, in addition to the new RG Brave King shipment is too small and the inverted master can not be grabbed at all, basically see their favorite models are not hesitant to book to buy, and the consumption of tools and paints generated by playing glue is also a big expense, but after all, this is also a kind of spiritual world sustenance.
Just when I thought that the 3 or 400 model was already expensive, I found that there was another group of people, and they had more terrifying spending power. In the general direction, they are also model players, but in the small category, they have no half-cent relationship with the glue guys. Unlike the glue guys, their "models" are usually small in number, but they will spend a lot of money to name them, celebrate birthdays, buy clothes, and take care of them as sons or daughters, which is what I want to do today for everyone (of course, there are also men), that is, BJD players and their BJDs.
Ball-jointed Doll, referred to as BJD, is actually a highly dynamic spherical joint doll, mainly made of resin. The earliest BJD dolls were made by a Japanese company called VOLKS, and the doll brand was also named SD (Super Dollfie). Just like the glue guy buy Gundam first identified Bandai, the preferred brand for the purchase of dolls is naturally SD, although the production of BJD is not only this one, but the design of BJD basically starts from here, so the production of other manufacturers will basically be based on the design of SD, and then adjust the size, clothing appearance and so on according to the manufacturer's own design. And players who like to play with such dolls, we will call them baby girls, although they bear the high consumption of dolls, but as far as the old youtiao knows, most of them are already social people, who can develop their own hobbies and interests under the permission of their own economic conditions, and are a group of very cute and childlike people.
So if the player wants to go into the pit, how can normally judge that a doll is BJD? First of all, you can't go wrong by buying the brand model, but the main difference is to look at the internal structure. First of all, the parts of the body that can be rotated are basically spherical joints, and then the joints are connected with leather bands, ropes, aluminum wires and other materials, and fixed with S hooks. People who have played the model will be more aware that the amplitude of the spherical joints is usually more flexible than other designs, so the BJD doll can rotate all over the body, pose for photos, and after being familiar with the internal structure, you can also replace the accessories by yourself, and the gameplay is diverse. If the design of the doll you bought is very different from the above, it means that you are not buying BJD, it is recommended to refund it first.
BJDs are quite complex in size, mostly based on a height of one meter and eight, which players call "points". For example, three points, that is, the scale of one meter eight is reduced to 1/3, the overall height is 60cm, and so on, there are two, four, six, eight, twelve, and so on. However, this is actually a kind of internal standard, and other times manufacturers will also launch other related products, such as the three points of the body shape of young children, and the style difference is still very obvious.
BJD's creative freedom is very high, just like the glue guy playing Gundam "Steel Pula is free", low budget has low budget play, high budget has high budget play. Low budget can be handmade a variety of clothing, cosmetics can also be based on the characteristics of resin materials to choose cheap and beautiful products, but want to buy multiple single or buy more accessories to according to the actual situation; Needless to say, the budget is high, basically things can be bought expensive. But no matter how much the budget is, BJD is actually not a low-cost commodity, compared to these things, it also needs the careful care and maintenance of the baby mothers and fathers.
Maintenance of a BJD first of all to consider the environment, this even if the glue guy plays glue is no exception, the first is not direct sunlight, resin plastic in the sunlight, high temperature will cause parts brittleness and appearance of yellowing at a faster rate, which is very deadly for the doll. The second point is the dry environment, because there are metal hooks inside the doll structure, and the metal will be rusted and embrittled when exposed to moisture for a long time, and it is also very troublesome to make a hook again, which can be avoided or avoided as much as possible.
The makeup surface of BJD is actually similar to playing the model, and it is also through layers of covering to make different color blocks fall evenly on the surface of the doll, but the most different place is that it is different from the operation of the up to many planes as long as the masking belt is different, and many details of the doll's makeup are hand-painted, usually without a lot of practice. Especially in the use of the face pen, the hand should be stable, the strength should be in place, and the pen should be exquisite, which is quite laborious. And other related body accessories such as hair, eyes, hand shape, clothes, breasts, etc., if you don't want to do it yourself, you still have to honestly teach "tuition". In addition, the need for a set to take pictures, that consumer think about it is terrible, so it seems that gundam posing plus a black cloth photo method is still relatively easy.
Different people will treat the doll differently, most people like to treat it as a toy, put on different makeup for it every day, change different clothes and put on different shapes, and chase the beauty of the doll; Some people like to buy the manufacturer's linkage model, which already has matching clothes and makeup, and puts them in the cabinet as a collectible; Among them, there are also many people who think that their dolls have a soul, name them and take them with them every day, observing the mood of the dolls from the details, which is also the reason why the number of dolls appears in horror movies is unusually large, as long as a little effort is put into makeup, they can make a supernatural effect, but this also dissuades many players in disguise. However, a small circle always has the advantage of a small circle, at least there will not be too many broken things on the road of playing dolls.
Speaking of which, I wonder how much you know about BJD dolls? But in general, this is just one of people's hobbies, if you also have other ACG-related hobbies, you may wish to chat in the comment area, maybe you can still find a good friend?
