How to Decipher the Jargon in the BJD World!
One of the first things that I found confusing was all the abbreviations there were in the BJD world. So here's a helpful guide to figure some of it out.
There are 3 sizes of BJDs
SD-Super Dollfie
50 cm (24 in) or taller
MSD-Mini Super Dollfie
40 (16 in)-49 cm (though sometimes these are slightly shorter)
Tiny-Tiny Dollfies (sometimes also called Yo-SD to follow the Volks naming structure)
30 cm (12 in) and smaller
Tinies can further to broken down into:
Pukifee/Lati Yellow Size
15 cm (6 in)
Pukipuki/Lati White Size
10-11 cm (4 in)
Anthro-Animal Type BJD (anything from cats, dogs, and bunnies to polar bears)
Types of Sets
FS-Fullset
This means the doll comes with the wig, eyes, clothes, shoes, face-up, etc.
Basic
This can mean a naked doll with no face-up or eyes. Most basic dolls do have with the eyes though and a face-up is usually an option. Some companies even allow you to to add on the other things to your order.
Company Abbreviations
I have listed some some companies below, but there are many more.
FL-Fairyland
Lati-Latidoll
RS-Resinsoul
DIM-Doll in Mind
PW-Peakswood
Doll Abbreviations
Once again, here are some examples of things you might see.
PKF-Pukifee
LTF-Littlefee
MNF-Minifee
For those already in the BJD hobby, do you know other useful abbreviations that can help the readers?
Please comment!
Thanks! This is really helpful!
