VIP (Very Interesting People)

My little hall of fame.

oooperaa - I can't stop thinking about Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. I am obsessed!!! I look forward to wedding photos every September 9th.
Glace Leau - She's shelled 2 of her gay criminal characters, Tennant and Daniel, with custom heads and partially custom bodies. It's really wild. What will Glace Leau come up with next?! I can't wait to find out.
kotonokazu - ホモォ・・・┌（┌＾o＾）┐
kakuso - A very strange and skilled ~~fujoshi~~ doll maker and customizer. She has become too powerful for this Earth. Very NSFW
Kinoko Juice Kame and Codi - Check out Kame's feed for photos of Komugi the pug. Check out Codi's for KJ doll progress.
hiritai - Her dolls were insanely influential on my taste when I started collecting. Old dA: oki-oki
zucchini - This is my alternate website for my other set of dolls.

BJD forums

Den of Angels - The BEST english resource for anything BJD. Use the search feature for best results. Many users will be polite to you even if you're stupid and need to lurk moar. Closed on August 15, 2026.
Doll Dreaming - The major vinyl BJD English forum. Much more relaxed and disorganized than DoA. Watch out for adult men who call their big titty girls their "daughters".
Material Celeste - French language forum. You'll have to tell me if it's any good.
BJDClub - Russian language forum.
5chan's /doll/ - Japanese text board.
4chan's /toy/ - Resin based doll thread. Often plagued with recast discussion that destroys the thread. Probably not up right now.
4chan's /jp/ - primarily vinyl BJDs. Too Many Horny Men.
~~anon.cafe's /doll/~~ - A very quiet imageboard. Too many horny men for me. It feels very much like /jp/'s doll thread and there is definitely overlap between users.
Chinese Baidu Tieba BJD - Chinese forum for BJD discussion.
BJD Complaints - Chinese Baidu Tieba forum dedicated to bitching about dolls.
Dollieh Sanctuary - Not limited to BJD, but plenty of BJD are here.
~~Den of Angels (yahoo group)~~ - Here are the humble beginnings of our favorite doll forum. It was established May 2, 2002 and used until the introduction of the forum in August 15, 2004.
~~DollFun~~ - Scripple's up and coming dollfoto sharing platform. Now removed.
Zone of Zen - Login locked BJD board.
Lovely Everyone - The DoA team is back and ready for even more doll action! The rules are supposed to be less strict this time around.

Unofficial BJD Reference Sites

Tenshi no Kichi - Volks only. Covers a lot of topics! Events, pages for each doll sculpt with info on one-off models released. A bit of info on FCS, not really any photos though. Good place to waste time looking at the limited doll you want!

Angel Den - Volks only. The original FCS guide in English. Also has an area for every standard and limited model doll. Stopped being updated in Sep 2012. Photos may or may not work and it may depend if you are connected securely of they are shown. Thanks for your hard work seraphim! If you need an icon for your DoA signature, she's got you covered.

Active English Websites and Blogs

This list contains sites updated in the last 5 years or so. Each site has a varying level of devotion to dolls. Some are just a list of profiles, some are 100% doll focused.

Photos on social media

Some Japanese hashtags and my attempt at translation. I don't speak any Japanese btw. Try searching on Flickr, Twitter, and Instagram. Many dealers and artists also have their own hashtag that buyers will post under. Many Super Dollfie sculpts also have their own hashtag such as #SD_f_63 or #SD63番 (numbered sculpts) or #SDリズ (sculpts with names). There's a few variations on the format though.
