Even a minor foray away from Akihabara’s electronics-orientated establishments, or alternatively, just the briefest browse of any otaku site, will quickly reveal that figures and dolls are feverishly doted on in Japan.
Yet whereas the majority of these characters are cloyingly cute, there also appears to be a desire for those that are downright disturbing.
With price tags almost as perturbing as their appearance.
However, with other dolls, it’s generally just the owners that get aroused, whereas with these,
the reaction appears to be reciprocal.
There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by full feed RSS, and now Twitter too.

Ahh, yes the wonderful world of BJD’s.
Only VOLKS dolls are actualy made in Japan. The rest of them are imported from Korea, including the boy with the detatchable penis.
Cheers for the info Cyn. Just goes to prove one really does learn something everyday, even if it is in relation to detachable penises.
Talking of which, I feel I have so many questions, but at the same time I’m too afraid to ask…
Sadly, I collect the damn things, so I know far more than is really healthy.
Actually, the boy with the detachable penis is made in Japan by Alchemic Labratory. http://alchemiclabo.cms.drecom.jp/
