   I don’t know too much about them but they come up when I search on ebay for Takara’s Jenny doll. They are made in Korea but marketed in Japan. I think that’s why they are hard to find in the US and expensive. Jenny is a Japanese doll and also expensive! Pullip is about 9 inches tall, which is a little less than Barbie and Jenny – more like the old Skipper (not the teen version). Pullip is supposedly very articulated, which should make her easy to pose, although I have a Volks doll that is very articulated and his joints are actually too loose. If he wasn’t in a stand, he wouldn’t be able to stand up alone. Pullips are very diverse, with hair and eye colors that are different for each doll produced (there is a new style every month). Some of the hair colors I’ve seen are lemon yellow, turquoise, green, and flaming red. I love the funky hair colors, but haven’t bought any of the dolls. Amazon has a few in the $20 range that are listed as “used”. I’d say cruise ebay for a while and just see what’s out there before you jump in. That’ll give you a feel for what the going rate is and the variety of styles, and then if you still like them, just go for the ones you know you’ll like 20 years from now. If you pay more, that’s okay because you know you’ll still like her. That’s better than buying a lot of cheap ones that add up to lots of $ but then you lose interest and really don’t have much to show for it.

   Posing wise–I’ve heard that the obitsu bodies suit better for posing than the pullip default bodies. You’ll mostly likely have to customize it yourself, but there are tutorials for that floating around online.

   Pullips are Asain dolls produced by Jun Planning. A new doll is produced every month. Their eyes can move from left to right with an eye mechanism in the back of their head. They can also blink. The posing is limited to bending the arms and legs at a 90 degree angle.

   It is very popular to switch Pullip’s bodies to 27 cm Obitsu bodies, which you can find here:http://www.junkyspot.com/obindex.html.

   Pullips usually cost anywhere from $80-130 for recent models. If you want an older one, the prices go up.

   Jun planning also produces J-Doll, which has the same body as Pullip, Dal, which is Pullip’s little sister, and little Pullip, which don’t have jointed bodies. You can find them here:http://pullipstyle.com/

   Good luck!
