"What the heck is a ball-joint doll?"
A ball joint doll is exactly what it sounds like: a doll that has ball joints where humans have joints; (knees, elbow, waist, ect). This makes them very flexible and able to pose in very lifelike ways. Other dolls, even ones with flexible wire skeletons are not as articulated as a ball joint doll. Because of their unique design, ball joint dolls (or BJDs) can sit and stand unaided, and hold a variety of very human poses. Unlike a porcelain doll or Barbie, BJDs do not need a stand, but they are available.

"These dolls sound really expensive. How much do they cost?'
In general, most BJDs run from $300 to about $700 for a basic doll, with the average being $400-$600.

'Is it made of plastic, like a Barbie? Why does it cost so much?'
No. Ball joint dolls are made of polyurethane resin, not plastic. It is more fragile and heavier than plastic. They're handmade too!
