What is Dollectable:BJDX?
Dollectable is San Francisco's two-day convention dedicated to Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls—a place where collectors arrive from near and far to participate in events, contests, workshops, and viewings of selected movies—a weekend where fans surround themselves with friends and like-minded individuals celebrating their shared passion.

Before the festivities begin on Saturday morning, Dollectable will be holding a very special Friday night cocktail party to help you mingle and relax into all of the fun and spectacular sights that you are guaranteed to see.

Here at Dollectable, we wanted to make this experience unique. Our workshops will be available for you to learn how to customize and care for your dolls from some of the best people in this fandom. There will be workshops on everything from cleaning, to photography, to painting.

What is a Ball-Jointed Doll?
Information from Wikipedia

"Ball-jointed dolls (BJDs) are realistically proportioned dolls, usually manufactured in east Asian countries (primarily South Korea and Japan). These dolls are fully articulated with ball joints at the appropriate locations on their bodies.

These dolls are fully poseable and customizable, with removable wigs, eyes, hands, feet and heads. Many different variations are available. Clothing, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories are also available. Much like collectable porcelain dolls, BJDs are often collected by adults.

Ball-jointed dolls follow a traditional Asian view in their aesthetics. The designs are diverse and range from anime-inspired to the hyper-realistic. They are often considered to be collectors items.

Many owners assign their dolls to a certain personalized character, and they are sometimes used as subjects of artistic works, such as photography. Photo stories are popular on doll web forums."
