Professional Tips: Choosing Your First BJD Figure

Prioritize the standard size available.

Consider 1/4 or 1/3 standard sizes.

Opt for minimal or no makeup.

Set aside a budget for costumes and wigs.

When to Buy

Pay attention to the brand's pre-order period.

New products are often released around major trade shows.

Avoid scalpers' stockpiling.
