Novalyna's World

I have added just one dolly page today for my Chicabi doll. Hope you will enjoy ^^ She's such a cutie.

Last night I was playing Infinity Nikki until 5 AM ;u; woah sleepy. There are so many activities for Bubble Season! After I've got all my doll's up, I'll share a selection of Nikki pics, I love taking in-game photos.

Have fun today~

I created a page for each of my Miku Dollfie Dreams to my BJD family. I also made a wig care guide for Miku wigs. I intend to update it later with pictures so it's not a big wall of text.

Dollfie Dreams are not technically BJDs. They don't have ball-and-socket joints and are not held with tension, but rather a mechanical jointed skeleton. Nowadays, we would call these types of dolls MJDs. However, the earliest Dollfie Dreams were in fact strung BJDs! Although, they were made with vinyl and not resin, which made them less structurally sound than a resin BJD, that's how they came to be MJDs later. They are accepted into BJD-specific groups and loved by many BJD owners despite being a different type of doll. But it does make it a little confusing to newbies who ask, "what makes a BJD a BJD?"

While I'm rambling, let me just chime in to anyone wondering, that the reason BJD collectors distinguish BJDs from non-BJDs is that these dolls have a particular type of care and maintanance. Also, many BJDs are made by individual artists or tiny studios in small batches. So it's nice to have BJD-centric spaces to get help with their care and share information about the many sculpts and makers that could otherwise be hard to find. It doesn't mean the common misconception that we think BJDs are superior to other kinds of dolls! A lot of BJD collectors collect other types of dolls, including fashion dolls, baby dolls, vintage dolls, and of course, MJDs! ^^

Have a wonderful day~

I decided to make a website to record my dolly things.

I've been a bjd collector since late 2000s. My first dolls were from Luts, Dollzone and Fairyland! But at one point, I had to part with almost all of my dollies due to financial hardships.

I returned to the hobby a few years ago, and have a lovely doll family again ^^ but I never kept good records of my old dolls, I don't even have photos of them to look back on. I hope not to find myself in a similar situation, but I still want to do better at saving some memories.

I'll create a page for each of my dolls, in the meantime, you can view my collection and a few doll profiles in DOA (Novalyna). I also want to share small crafts I've made for my dolls and how to make them yourself.

Have a wonderful day~
