Ball Jointed Dolls (migidolls?)
Okay, so I was hunting around and I discovered these totally adorable dolls! They're by far better than Barbie! They look so realistic! They're just so beautiful and I want one so badly, but they're so expensive ):! I'm trying to get a job to afford one, so I decided to check out the websites that sell them, but none of them make any sense when it comes to ordering the parts. As in the heads, wigs, clothing. I know they're made in Asia, but are there any sites that look more official and are in English? And has anyone else heard of these dolls? Is there anymore information on them other than just how they look?

Most ball-jointed dolls are very expensive - they are very detailed with many different parts and endless variations and customizations. However, there are lots of other brands besides migidolls.
Dolfie (a Japanese made brand) is probably the best known of the modern Asian ball-jointed dolls (or ABJD, if you want to do your own google research) but even they will cost you around $150 - $200 just to get started. If you are willing to buy second hand, you'll have a better chance looking at Dolfies.
Migidolls are mid to upper end dolls made in Korea. You'll find dolls a bit cheaper than them, and a lot that are much more expensive (for example, Dollshe makes male dolls - I think that is all they make - and they start around $600).
Check out wikipedia's entry and look up some of the other companies/communities for ABJDs.
