Dolls

I love dolls and think they are most cutesome - take this little darling for example...
Found somewhere on Beinart.
I often see complaints from folks who mumble on about how I started to write about Dollfies and how scary they think they are...
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Damn that's creepy... I prefer the dollfies, even though their eyes can be a bit creep as well at times^^

Wow did anyone order a bowl of Centipede with a Side of Baby? That is an odd/somewhat scary but interesting one the less. Yet how can people fear Dolphies. They are just kids to most of us.

Yikes! I find some dolls creepy, but I think it's due to the cognitive dissonance (wow!) between the lifelike appearance and yet the totally emotionless expressions... so Japanese figures and BJD aren't spooky, as they have very definite expressions.

Look up "Uncanny Valley" to see why people are scared of BJDs.

Dollfies in general set off my Uncanny Valley alarms for some reason, which is why I find them creepy. I love my scaled PVC figures, so its probably due to the Dollfie's size and more realistic eyes that put it straight into that Uncanny Valley for me. Don't mind Danny talking about them, but you aren't going to convince me to get one.

Dollfies aren't creepy unless their eyes light up and I walk into a dark room with em. This thing is beyond creepy.

That doll is hilarious and scary at the same time haha. I <3 dollfies though ^^
Haha! First thought that came to mind: "Look! It's the baby version of Captain Kurotsuchi's bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo!"

Well that did it for me. I officially hate dolls! Haha. Actually, I don't like the ones where their eyes open and close. Other than that all the others are okay...except this one. Not in a million years this one. Nightmare on a stick!

I don't want to see this at night with no lights o_O
Still doesn't quite scare me as much as how Volks is able to make so many new DDs in a mere couple of months.
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Wow.. that'll give ya some nightmares ^_^ My daughters aren't allowed to look at this sorta of thing..
I say these will send them screaming and looking around frantically ( wide opened too ) for days and nights to come.

I would put this on my shelf before I would a Dolfie. I'd hide it behind a sheet though...staring at it for too long would haunt my dreams.

I personally do not like dollfies at all, but i'm sober enough to have an attitude "to each his own"
So you never see me mumbling about how you should stop writing about them, there's plenty of other articles here I like :P

I don't find Dollfies scary or mind reading about them. ^^
To be quite frank, I don't get why Danny so often has to mention things like this or adjust the site to compensate for people finding a certain content bothersome, we've seen complaints about the abundance or lack of Japan articles, photography stuff, Gundam, Figures, Dollfies,...
Personally I have never minded the diversity and seeing more of certain subjects at any given time. If it's something new I know nothing of like Dollfies it's an excellent chance to discover what it's all about, and should I not find it interesting, I simply won't read articles or posts about it, but I certainly won't start complaining Danny posts too many things about topic x or y.

Elite core centipede! That is an awesome work of art. Yeah, it's scary but it's cool at the same time. It reminds me of the doll/caterpillar puppet from Fred Stuhr's video for the band Tool "Prison Sex." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf1vC8ubnkY . If you find Dollfies scary you'd find that absolutely horrifying. Me, I thought it was awesome. As was Fred, who was a friend of mine I lost too soon. I can see his influence all over the trailer for the movie "9" btw.

The dolfies are actually growing on me, I'd actually love to have a Ryomou. The only problem is, they are way out of my price range at the moment. I can get so many figure on my wish list for the price I'd have to pay for a Dolfie >__<

It's mainly the huge eyes(read: eyes, the things on her head) that I find kind of creepy. Just too unnatural..
Write what you like, danny, it's your site! and it's clear that many of us are digging it! I personally enjoy Blythes and i would love to have a Mamachapp if they were more accessible to me. But I like shopping for and dressing my girl, and I love seeing that there is a community that feels the same as me :)
