Dollfie

Dollfie is a brand of vinyl doll created by the Japanese company Volks in 1997. It is a highly-poseable hybrid of fashion doll and action figure. A Dollfie doll is about the size of a Barbie doll, 1/6 or playscale, though there are variants in different heights ranging from 23–29 cm. Dollfie dolls generally come blank, i.e., their heads are not painted. When an artist paints a Dollfie, the technique is referred to as a "face-up" or "make-up". Dollfie dolls are much more flexible than typical Barbie-style western fashion dolls of the same size, because of the much larger number of joints in the body.

Dollfie are often confused with Super Dollfie, a larger 1/3 scale 60 cm/2 feet range of resin dolls, also made by Volks, or even similar larger Asian ball-jointed dolls from other companies. The name "Dollfie" should accurately only be used for Volks's line of 1/6 dolls though.

Volks Inc. originally manufactured dolls with doll-crafters and artists in mind. For those with less skill, doll-crafting short-cuts were introduced, such as pre-rooted hair and stick-on eye decals. Later, finished dolls were issued. There are various body types, male and female, with several forms and skin tones for both as well as a line of child-sized dolls. The company also makes tools and materials to customize and maintain dolls.

Dollfie adalah merk / brand figure dari Volks di Jepang. Dollfie memiliki beberapa "engsel" / joint pada bagian sendi "tubuh" yang bisa digerakkan untuk pose tertentu, mirip Play Arts buatan SQUARE-ENIX. Biasanya memiliki skala 1/6 atau setara dengan boneka Barbie, walau pada beberapa Dollfie, terutama Super Dollfie bisa berukuran hingga 60cm. Kelebihan (dan salah satu ciri khas) Dollfie adalah pada custom-nya, karena baik mata, rambut, baju ataupun aksesoris yang dikenakan dapat diganti, sehingga tampil cantik. Tidak seperti kebanyakan figure PVC, Dollfie memiliki rambut yang berupa benang / helai rambut, sehingga tidak kaku.


Harga pasaran Dollfie adalah berkisar dari 3 juta hingga puluhan juta Rupiah, menjadikan figure ini sebagai "mainan" orang dewasa kelas atas.

Ckckckckck... Makin edan aja ni dunia. Boneka aja harganya udah selangit~!! TAPI bagi kolektor boneka, apa sih yang nggak demi kepuasan diri? Hmm... Punya hobi mengkoleksi boneka, perangko, laptop, mobil, atau apapun boleh saja. Cuma, kita juga harus memikirkan matang-matang. Penting nggak sih ngoleksi ginian kalau nggak ngehasilin apa-apa. Sayang kan? Ngeluarin duit berjuta-juta kalau nggak ada gunanya. Well, it's just my opinion. No offence~!!!
