General:
Q- What is a pullip?
A- Pullip is an Asian fashion doll. She has a unique mechanism that allows her to look from side and side as well as blink (on newer releases starting with Rei they have “sleep eyes” where the eyes can remain closed). She has a very large head about 1/3 scale on a 1/6 scale body.
Q- What are the other dolls in the “pullip family”?
A- The first doll released in the pullip line, other than Pullip herself was Namu her boyfriend. Namu had a very angular face and was not very popular so he was discontinued. Pullip quickly replaced Namu with her new boyfriend Taeyang. Taeyang’s younger sister Dal joined the line soon after. Byul was introduced in 2009, she is Dal’s best friend. Isul debuted in February of 2011. Isul is Pullip’s little brother. The newest member of the Pullip family is Yeolume, she is Pullip’s future daughter and unlike the other dolls in the Pullip family has a bendy body rather than an articulated body. There are also a number of miniature dolls in the line, there have been two different versions of Little Pullips (old style and a newer redesigned style), Little Dals as well as Angel Pullips and Dals. There has now been a single Little Taeyang released as well as a few Little Byuls.
Q- How often are pullips released?
A- Pullip is released once a month with periodic limited edition releases. Namu is discontinued, his predecessor Taeyang is released approximately every other month. Dal was previously released bi-monthly but is now released monthly. Byul is released approximately every other month (Byul and Taeyang share a rotating schedule so if Byul is released one month, there will be a Taeyang release for the next month). Little Pullip and Little Dal are released monthly.
Q- Is there somewhere I can see a complete list of all the released pullips? dals? taeyangs? namu ? byul? little pullips and little dals?
A- I have been been working on full release list for pullip; because of length I cut into three part 1 which contains all pullip released from 2003-2006, part 2 which contains all pullips released from 2007 through 2009 and part 3 which contains Pullips released from 2010 onwards. I have also made lists for dal, taeyang, namu, byul, old style little pullips, new little pullips and little dals. I have yet to compile a list of all the isuls but I am currently working on it.
Q-Where can I buy pullips?
A- I highly recommend Pullipstyle I have personally purchased 100+ dolls from them with no complaints. There was previously another US based store called Valley of the dolls but they discontinued carrying pullip and then closed their doors as of 8/2010. There are other shops in the US that carry pullip, such as Denverdoll, Entertainment Earth, PopFuzz Toyslogic, Angelic Dreamz and Doll Peddler prices kind of vary though. HobbylinkJapan and Hobbysearch may work out better with shipping cost if you are not in the US, just be warned HLJ’s packaging can sometimes leave something to be desired (I purchased Uncanricky from them and she was shipped via ems there was a hole in the box and I could literally see her staring back at me :O ). There are also two pullip forums devoted to buying/selling/trading Shopadollic and Dolly Market, both communities have their own rules please read them before posting and keep in mind I am a mod on both forums so please remember to follow all the rules or else !
Q-Are there any physical stores where I can buy Pullip in the United States?
A- The stores that I personally know of include the somewhat local to me Animadness in Waltham, which MA carries a good variety of older/newer dolls. I know of two stores in New York, one I have been to AngelicDreamz and one I haven’t made it up to yet PopFuzz. Popfuzz’s prices are very reasonable, AngelicDreamz tends to be slightly more expensive but they are a generalized collector doll shop and they do not really specialize in Pullip so their selection tends to be fairly small.
Q- You used some terms I am unfamiliar what does ____ mean?
A- These are some common doll terms that may cause some confusion to people new to the hobby or non-doll people ^^;
Bait- Doll sold or bought for the express purpose of customizing, is usually flawed in some way.

JP- Jun Planning- the original company that made pullips before ownership of pullip was sold to Groove Inc. during the Spring of 2009

Q- What are collaborations? Which dolls are collaborations?
A-Collaborations are when pullip collaborates with another company and releases a pullip that draws influence from the other company’s products. Jun Planning/Groove Inc have collaborated with different anime shows to release dolls dressed as characters, clothing companies, Sanrio and Disney. Several dolls based on Audrey Hepburn based in how she appeared in films have also been released.

Q-Aren’t Wind and Debut the same doll? Why do you have them listed differently?
A- Debut was actually the first doll released and while she is essentially Wind with a bike she does have a different product number than Wind so they are listed separately.
Q- What’s the difference between the two different Gothic & Lolita Psycho Yuki releases?
Both are limited to 300 but one is based on how Yuki appears in the movie versus how she appears on the film poster. One of the Poster version of Yuki’s eyes is a demonic red whereas the Film version has matched eyes. The Poster version also comes with a signed photo of the star of the Gothic & Lolita Psycho film.

Question- What are the sewing measurements of the different body types?
Answer- Images taken from pullip.net
Question- Height Comparison between pullips and friends? Other dolls of similar size ?
Answer- Here is a shot of pullip and crew, Namu and Taeyang have the same body so for simplicity’s sake I only included Taeyang. Dal and Byul also have the same body.
Compared to blythe, mama chapp, azone etc
Question- Ack my doll broke or I hate ___ type of body, can I rebody a pullip?
Answer – Yes, pullips can be rebodied. The popular choices for rebodying pullip are obitsu and volks, some people rebody all of their pullips for aesthetics/poseability others have all their dolls on their respective stock bodies. It is important to note that all not pullips have a skintone that can be easily matched, the Another series of dolls are just one example of dolls that are not an easy match. Obitsus can be bought from Junkyspot or HLJ, several other stores carry them as well they are available in a variety of colors and sizes (23 cm, 25 cm, 27cm). They are also available in two body types soft bust or hard bust, as well in a variety of bust sizes. 27cm is the preferred size for rebodying a pullip but 25cm and 23cm can also be used and can be good to represent a younger character or variety in heights. Volks are another popular choice, they are not as prevalent as obitsu they can be purchased through VolksUSA . They are also available in a variety of bust sizes. Requiemart has excellent tutorials on how to rebody dolls with either body type obitsu and volks.
Wig Questions
Question- What size wig do pullips use? Where can I buy wigs for pullip?
Answer- Generally speaking pullips take size 8-9 but a few companies run a bit small in which case going up a size 9-10 is advised. Popular wig companies include CanCan and Jpopdolls. Somewhat luckily pullip has approximately the same size as Super Dollfie sized bjd and therefore bjd shops have wigs that will work for pullip Cotindoll, Formydoll, Kon’D, Leekeworld and Luts (tends to run small). Beachgirlnikitas sells really nice quality fur wigs for reasonable prices. One thing of note is that Denver Doll carries some wigs by the listed bjd companies, they are the same wigs but it may be a little cheaper to order through Denverdoll if they have it in stock because of the shipping (some of these companies are based overseas and shipping for a single wig can be fairly expensive).
Question-Which pullips have rooted hair? How can I rewig them?
Answer- All of the 2003 pullips (Wind, Debut, Moon, Street, Squall, Carol, Noir, Leprotto, Bouquet and Withered) as well as Venus, Nomado and Bianca have rooted hair. Rewigging them can be a bit difficult, releases with shorter hair can just have their hair tucked into slightly larger wigs (ie. Street’s scalp can be successfully tucked up into a blythe sized wig), if you want to rewig a girl with longer hair you either have to buy a blank scalp or shave/give an extremely short haircut to the scalp.
Questions about my personal collection
Question -How long have you been collecting pullips? What made you interested in them?
Answer-I received my first- Shinku as a gift for my birthday on March 28th, 2007. I was a huge Rozen Maiden fan at the time so I was dropping hints that I might like a Hina Ichigo (my favorite character) dal for my birthday well the person who bought Shinku decided they didn’t like dals all that much so bought me Shinku instead. I was so enamored with Shinku when I opened her, I ended up ordering Suiseiseki that night.
Question- How many pullips and friends do you own?
Answer- As of this writing (4/23/2013) I own..
275 Pullips
86 Dals
22 Taeyangs
13 Byuls
3 Isul
2 Namu
19 old style little Pullips
14 new little Pullips
14 little Dals
& 1 each Angel Pullip and Dal
What other dolls do you own?
Answer- In addition to Pullip I also own 5 J-dolls and 4 Hestias and that’s just within the Groove family tree. I have a diverse doll family including 5 Blythes (4 Neo/1 ADG), 32 Dollfie Dreams (5 DDY, 5 MDD and 22 DD), 56 BJD (6 SD, 7 MSD, 12 Yo-SD/Littlefee, 21 Lati Yellow/Pukifee, 7 Pukipuki and 3 tiny anthros), 2 Mama Chapp, 1 Ddung and 2 Mini Ddung doll, 4 azone, 1 Volks Dollfie and 3 Megahouse dolls.
Question- Who is your favorite?
Answer- Right now it’s a tie between Clementine, my beloved Papin and the incredibly awesome Requiemart custom Duela Dent
Last Updated: 4/23/2013
I think a good question would be: What type of clothes can I buy for my Pullip/Dal/Taeyang? For example…can Dal’s fit into Bratz clothes, and Taeyang’s fit into Ken clothes, etc? Really great FAQ.
Can you really re-wig and re-chip a Little Dal or Little Pullip? I’ve read that you can, but I am uncertain?
Yes, it can be done it isn’t generally done too often as the wigs/eyes can sometimes cost as much as the little dal/pullip itself. The wigs are basically just like big pullip wigs, I think wigs that fit pukipuki fit them. I *think* to change the eyes you have to remove the wig and their is a scalp underneath, removing the scalp should give you access to the eyes.
I’m getting a Byul and can I put a Pullip wig on her?
Byul and Dal have slightly smaller heads than pullip but 90% of the time wigs that fit pullip will fit them they will just be a lit looser if you want a tighter fit opt for a 7/8 instead.
How can you afford all of those dolls?!!!
I’m an adult, I have a job and I don’t have many bills so I have a fair bit of disposable income to devote to my hobbies. I have purposefully given up/downscaled other hobbies (for example, I used to buy about $300 on dvds/blurays every month now I use netflix instead and maybe pick up an occasional bluray) in order to be able to focus more funds towards my doll collection.
i want to get a obitsu for a pullip i’m going to get (sfoglia) what would her skin tone be (white or skin toned) please help.
Definitely white, most of the pullips take white with very few exceptions.
thank you so much
now i can stop worrying
you ROCK!!!!!!!
My Pullip Akoya’s stock wig is new but came in bad condition what are stock wigs made of? and will silk wigs be just as bad?
My Akoya’s stock wig was rather poor as well, some of the newer releases are hit or miss with some having really high wig quality (Ddalgi’s wig is really nice quality for example) and other’s still having poor wigs. The quality of the fibers differs from release to release with some being good, most being okay some being horrible :/ Wigs from Luts, Leekeworld have really soft lovely condition wigs some of the other places like mimiwoo can be hit or miss though ^^;
I just got Pullip Batgirl and I am on a mission to find her production number.I found a number on her collectors card and was wondering is that her number and if so how many of her were made
Thanks Nikki
I don’t have any information on the Wonder Festival versions but SDCC Batgirl is limited to 400 and her product number is P-038 (Catwoman is P-039)
How can I tell her number is it one her collectors card?
I don’t have mine in hand yet (I won’t until August actually) not all limited dolls with the little certificate saying they are x doll out of 400, the steampunks were the only limited dolls in the past four years to have them actually. If they come a certificate it would be under fastened to the box beneath where the card is.
So where do I find her number like Eos?
could someone tell me, as I have been trauling the internet for a straight answer.
I have Ddalgi, type 4, pullip body
I would like to buy Kirsche’s stock, she is type 3
Would it all fit, not perfect but pretty well. And I especially want to know about shoes, will they fit, I was thinking since type 4 have higher arches I could stuff the shoes with a pit of tissue
xxx
please help
It’s a little loose around the bust but it fits type 4 fairly well, the shoes are a little loose in general the right socks will fix that right up though.
If you are on dolly market, I think someone is selling it in the BST quite reasonably.
I have a F-562 May 2006 – Pullip Nahh-ato. I broke the knee off my doll….=(
I have no clue what part I need,what I need to do to find the part,even after looking on your site. Could you tell me exactly what style of body,or what part I need to buy? I would be forever grateful!!! If I dont get this fixed,Im going to go crazy!!! =)
How did the knee break did the joint snap or did it just come apart (it can snap together if it’s the latter)? Due to Nahh-ato’s unique skin color finding replacement parts can be a pain. If the knee can’t be fixed- you can keep an eye out for a secondhand Nahh-ato body on dolly market, pullip_sales lj, a coconut obitsu (which are pretty rare) or you can replace the body with one from a liv doll- I forget if it’s Alexis or Daniela but one of them is a decent match for Nahh-ato.
can stock dal wig fit pullip? I want to try customize a doll to look like Hina Ichigo from Rozen Maiden but make it a Pullip instead of Dal I can’t find a wig that looks similar so I thought I could just get a wig that’s already made for that character.And you have a Souseiseki right?Is her wig hard to maintain?
Yes it will fit, but dal wigs tend to look a little different on Pullip heads. I actually have a Pullip Hina Ichigo too she just has blond barrel curls though here is a picture of her with Dal Hina Ichigo http://www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/3688639878/in/set-72157610688743904
Souseiseki or Suiseiseki? With Suiseiseki’s curls the best thing is honestly not to touch them, Souseiseki’s hair is easy to maintain.
i love your pullip Hina Ichigo where did you get her wig? Personally, Dals look a little creepy and they always look so grumpy. Oh and i got Pullip Souseiseki a week ago.
Would u mind to upload the measurement for Isul? I’m planning to get an Isul soon andI need to know the body measurement as I will be converting the body with a BJD body~<3
What wigs will fit Byuls? I want one with blue eyes and curly blonde hair but they don’t seem to have one like that that i’m looking for.
I don’t want to replace the eyes but perhaps the wig.
So… please help? XD
Generally 8/9 wigs are used on byul; 7/8 from certain companies work well too though. Sucre, Pollon, Secomi, Hermine and Cocotte all have blue eyes to the best of my recollection. Byuls have larger eye holes than Pullip, you need blythe sized chips for them you can buy them from coolcat, thisisblythe and a few other places.
Where can i purchase eyes for a byul?
Hello! Wow, that FAQ was amazing, but, you could you help me with a measure problem?
I’m gonna buy an Elisabeth soon, and I want a new hair for her. So I was looking for wigs and i notices some of them were 1/3 and other were 1/4… What exactly does this means?
And, which one would be better? ’cause i heard it would be important to be a 8”-9”…
Thank you very much for your attention!! See ya!!
PS: Your dolls are amazing! Your Hina Ichigo pullip is really cute!! *0*~~
Most pullip wigs were in fact made with bjds in mind 1/3 refers to SD sized bjds (it’s size 8/9) and is the size you need for a pullip. 1/4 is for MSD sized dolls and is way too small for Pullip.
Ahhh, okay!
Thank you veeery very much!
Serously, saved my life!
Or my poor Elisabeth would became bald (poor her.)
Ahn, I’ve got two more questions if you don’t mind…
1st. Do you know any sites where I can buy the outfit for other pullips? ‘Cause I’m crazy about Clarity outfit I can’t afford her too…
2nd. Do you know where I can find a tutorial with video, or pictures, on how to trade a pullip wig?
‘Cause I was searching the internet and the only thing I found was a picture from a boy saying he had to pull it out strongly ’till it come out.. And it sounded kind of… Barbarian…
Well, thank you very much for everything specially your attention!!!
No problem
Hmm your best bet for getting stock outfits is to join up on either dolly market http://forums.dollymarket.net/index.php or livejournal http://pullip-sales.livejournal.com/ and try to do a split. Splits are where one person gets the doll and the other gets the stock, generally it’s a 60/40 split with the person getting the doll paying the bulk of the cost, some of the more elaborate collabs would have a closer to 50/50 split (like the Angelic Pretty dolls where a big part of their allure is their lolita clothing). Most people want the dolls and not the stock so you probably won’t have too much of a problem finding a split partner
Video featuring wig removal (and head dissection if you are so inclined) I know it sounds kind of scary but it’s really wicked easy.
http://requiemart.com/blog/customizing-tutorials/wig-removal-head-dissection-video/
Oh, okay… I fell much better about the wigs now.. Thank you very much!!!
I was terrorized to think that I’d have to rip it apart to take it off…
Oh, gosh, thanks!!
I’ll take a look on those sites too, thank you very much…
But I believe it’ll be a hard case to split it, once I’m brazilian and most of the cases the worst part is the shipping.
Well, It doesn’t matter, I’ll keep looking on dollymarket and livejournal.
Thank you very much for your help, you were a true angel! Seriously!
See ya!
(’cause I’ll keep visiting once your site is so amazing! =3)
I have pullip dal Charlotte and I need to know if she will fit pullip size 4 clothes. Please reply
Dals are smaller than Pullips, they can wear type 4 clothes but it will be big on them some stock outfits it looks okay but a lot are just too big. Sorry.
Hi – I’m trying to figure out if Byul and Pullip’s heads can be switched – I don’t adore my Byul Hermine’s face but she’s my first doll and I’m not sure if her head can be switched for a different doll well. I know bodies can be swapped but I’m having a hard time finding out how the proportions of a Pullip head on a Byul body will look… I don’t want a different body because I adore her dress.
It can be done it just looks a bit odd ^^; Here is my custom Hina Ichigo Pullip she is on the 23cm obitsu which is equivalent to a dal/byul body http://www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/sets/72157610688743904/ . Perhaps try and trade her for a dal (keep the stock)? The body is the same size and most people seem to like dal more than byul so she might be a better fit for you. Finding just the head for sale can be tricky ^^;
Thank you very much for the advice, especially the pics – I might try and acquire a Pullip head or keep Hermine as is – I actually like Byul more than Dal! She’s going to be the only doll in a dollhouse I’m building to store jewellery, so I’m not sure what I’ll do. Probably keep her as is unless I find it annoys me too much. Thank you again!
I actually prefer Byul too haha! I had a Hermine but ended up selling her as somehow she just didn’t really spark much interest in me. You may want to try to trade her for another byul if you do like the sculpt I know Paulia and Sucre are well nigh irresistible.
hi just started looking at pullips and see a huge price difference they are similar in size but the prices vary from 14- 200 i did learn a lot on your blog as to limited editions but just the regular pullips im not sure why the price varies so im not sure why that is and am having a hard time finding answers any help would be great ty
The less expensive dolls you are seeing ie. those in the like $70 or less range are probably the mini pullips/dals/byuls the older edition little pullips are really unpopular and it is not uncommon to see them for like $15 each. Minis are only like four inches tall- here is a random pic I had on hand of two of my dals with a mini dal so you can get an idea of size comparison http://www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/4824458401/in/set-72157612686671151 . Full sized Pullips are roughly a foot tall. I recommend checking out http://pullipstyle.com/pullipstyle/ as they have very reasonable prices and you can see the different releases.
I want to know, do any BJD clothes fit an obitsued pullip? and what kind (MSD, SD ..ECT…) because i keep finding realy cute bjd clothes on etsy and i want to know if they are going to fit. ALSO can you obitsu taeyangs and if so what size obitsu?
Bjd clothing is way too big for Pullip for the most part, Pullip can share clothes with Barbie and other similar sized fashion dolls/ blythe clothes on etsy will also fit pullip for the most part so long as you don’t have the super boob obitsu. YoSD are roughly the same height but most items end up miles too big for them. You can obitsu taeyangs I think they take 27cm or something similar, I have never personally rebodied any of my taeyangs.
okey dokey, thanks
I am not sure if you can help me, but I am looking to sell two of my Pullip dolls to try to save my home from foreclosure. I don’t want to get too ripped off, at the same time. I have one Grail: A 2003 Pullip Noir, type 1 body, displayed out of box, but never played with, washed, etc. She has her original box, with everything in it down to the twist ties. She is perfectly in tact and not missing a single accessory. The other one I have shares the same details as Noir, but she is Pullip Bouquet. The last time I saw an original Noir on eBay was years ago, and she sold for over $1,000. Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated!
Hi, I’m sorry to hear you are having some financial difficulties ^^; When looking at eBay prices sometimes you can get unreasonable expectations, for example there is a mini dal Jouet listed for over $300 there when she can be bought from Pullipstyle/other pullip retailers for like $35.
Noir is a tricky one, for a long time she was not popping up for sale very often it took me about six months of searching to even find one for sale and I paid approximately $550 for her when I did buy her. She has been popping up a lot more recently and I have seen her sold anywhere from $350-$500 but Jun Planning/Groove have also made a new line of regeneration dolls which are like updated versions of older dolls and they made a new Noir. I have not seen a single original Noir pop up for sale since the regen got released and though the regen does not seem to be very popular, I am not sure if it has decreased her value further.
Bouquet maybe $150 on the high side probably closer to $120 though unfortunately, she is not extremely popular but she doesn’t pop up for sale very often.
I wish I had better news for you, the sales market has been really rough recently.
Does the Isul have the blink mechanism like the Pullip does?
Isul has a blink mechanism but it is not the same size as Pullips so they are not cross-compatible.
I believe this is VERY bad.
Um, I have used the eye mechanisms’ in the back, a few times, but suddenly, the middle mechanism(that makes her eyes move left and right) seems to be able to move, but her eyes don’t. Which are still stuck looking left…
Sometimes the eye mech can become jammed, are you are able to move it from side to side from the front (by like touching the eyes)? Which Pullip is it? Most of the time it can be fixed by taking the back of the head off and manually fixing the jam.
Oh wait, yes! Yes, I can move the eyes by touching them.
Thank you for replying back!
It’s Hatsune Miku Pullip.
No, I can’t move it by touching the eyes…do you think it’s a possible defect? I hope that doesn’t sound irrational or anything….
