Decided to put together a small F.A.Q. in case any curious anons decides to check out this thread.
>What are BJDs?
Ball-Jointed dolls. They're dolls held together with a string, allowing them to hold poses.
>What does OB11/24 mean? What about GSC?
Obitsu is a manufacturer of doll bodies, though their bodies are not held together with string, but by normal plastic joints instead.11/24 refers to the size of the doll body.
Despite this it's common to see ob11/24 used with BJDs, as the number indicates their size in centimeters.
GSC is an acronym for Good Smile Company, producer of Nendoroids. These dolls very often come with a neck joint that allows them to use the faceplates and head designs of Nendoroids.
>Where do I purchase doll parts?
You can purchase clothes on Aliexpress if you live in the western hemispere.
However, if you live in Asia or have access to a chinese dropshipper then you can buy items from 1688 or TaoBao, as there are way more options for clothing, faceplates, etc.
Here's a list of terms you might find useful while browsing
