Korean Dolls
« on: May 27, 2013, 04:32:40 PM »
Does anyone here collect any dolls that are from Korea?  (Besides Pullips that is.  Those are Korean right?)  I was in South Korea a little while ago time ago visiting family.  While there, I picked up some items of interest: a bunch of anime figures (mostly Type Moon) plus a Gundam model, a shark plush from the Busan Aquarium, a bunch of cute Marvel stuff, and a pair of Korean dolls.

Now, I'm not such of a photographer, so hopefully nobody minds the quickie pics that I took.

The first doll I got was a small Pink Romance Ddung doll.  To be honest, I thought that the bigger Ddung dolls looked nicer, but money and space constraints made me get a smaller sized one.  Also, I didn't care for her at first.  It wasn't until I deboxed her that I realized how cute she is!  Now I want to see about making a dress similar to hers in my size.

The pics don't show it, but she's wearing little white bloomers with pink ribbons attached under her dress.

The second doll that I got was a collectors doll: Youn Ji/Yeun-Ji. (Not sure which one is the correct romanization; the official website says Youn Ji while the Engrish on the box says Yeun-Ji.) The main appeal/characteristic of this doll are the hanboks (traditional Korean dress) that she wears.  Apparently, she's fairly hard to get outside of Korea.  According to my mom, the one I got is wearing a fiancee outfit.  She's quite lovely looking, and while I want to debox her, I'm going to wait until I can get a suitable display case to put her in.  Also, the box she comes in is fairly nice, terrible English aside.

For those curious about the Engrish, this is what it says:

korean dress which the stream of line is beautiful
and YEUN-JI who is following our own tradition that
makes to feel out liberal and warmnature.  YEUN-JI would
introduce the beauty of korea widely
