Earlier in the week, I was browsing eBay for some decidedly non-dolly items (I was looking into replacing some Batman: The Animated Series toys I had as a kid) when I decided to look at J-dolls. I had always been pretty partial to Joseph Splatz (I love fantasy hair colors) and I found her at a very reasonable price ($40 shipped) so I could not resist.

I actually like J-dolls quite a bit but in an effort to curb my shall we say unbridled doll collecting enthusiasm I limit myself to only buying them if I can find a good deal.

J-dolls were originally made by Jun Planning, like Pullip the J-doll brand carried over when Groove Inc took over. She is a 1/6 scale fashion doll, she uses the same body as pullip and they even share a lot of the same shoe molds.

Joseph Splatz, whom I have named Sassafras is my fifth J-doll and is the first one that I actually bought NRFB.

I absolutely love her face up.
