Pullips are released on a monthly basis, and there are additional limited release exclusives sold occasionally. Each edition has a unique name with distinct face make-up, hair, outfit, accessories, and box.
The Pullip has a unique eye mechanism that allows the eyes to move back and forth, and wink, using levers on the back of the head. Pullips are highly articulated and can be personalized or customized. Pullip is about 12 inches tall with an oversized head. The body is about 9 inches tall (1:6 scale), the size of many fashion dolls such as Barbie and Jenny. (information from Wiki)

With these dolls you can also customize it to your liking. There a lot of site that help you replace the wig, eyes, make-up and bodies. Some pullip owners change there doll look so they can look unique and one of the kind. Please note if you going to customize your pullip doll make-up please practice on a doll head that you won't use (can buy doll heads from site like Obitsu head) and practice a few times before doing it on your doll because once you mess up it might not be fix.

What is Blythe?
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Blythe (pronounced [blaɪθ]) is a doll created in 1972 by designer Allison Katzman with the now-defunct U.S. toy company Kenner. Reportedly, she was modelled after drawings by Margaret Keane, similarly to many other dolls of the '60s and '70s. Her most distinctive and notable feature were eyes that changed color with the pull of a string attached to the back of her head. Due to a lack of interest, Blythe dolls were only sold for one year in the U.S. (produced in Hong Kong), during 1972.
What is Dollfie?
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
Dollfie is a playscale (27 cm or 11 inches tall) vinyl doll that is produced by Volks Inc., located in Japan.
Dollfie is a highly-poseable hybrid of fashion doll and action figure, first created in 1997. They are about the size of a Barbie, 1/6 or playscale, though there are many variations in height in that scale, generally ranging from 23-29 cm.
Dollfie are often confused with Super Dollfie, a larger 1/3 scale 60cm/2 feet range of resin dolls, also made by Volks, or even similar larger Asian ball-jointed dolls from other companies. The name "Dollfie" should accurately only be used for Volks's line of 1/6 dolls though.
Dollfie dolls generally come blank, ie, their heads are not painted. When an artist paints a Dollfie, the technique is referred to as a "face-up" or "make-up". This is usually done using acrylic paints and special sealer to keep the color from coming off with play. The finished dolls are usually collected for customization and photography shoots.
Dollfie dolls are much more flexible than standard Barbie-style western fashion dolls of the same size, because of the much larger number of joints in the body.

What is BJD?
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
A ball-jointed doll is any doll that is articulated with ball and socket joints. In contemporary usage when referring to modern dolls, and particularly when using the acronyms BJD or ABJD it usually refers to modern Asian ball-jointed dolls.[1] These are cast in polyurethane resin, a hard, dense plastic, and the parts strung together with a thick elastic. They are predominantly manufactured in Japan and South Korea, and in 2006 Chinese manufacturers entered the market. BJD design is both realistic and influenced by anime with proportionally large heads and big eyes. They range in size from about 60 cm (2 feet) for the larger dolls, 40 cm (16 in) for the mini dolls, and all the way down to 10 cm (4 in) or so for the tiniest of the tiny BJDs. BJDs are made to be easy to customize, by painting, changing the eyes and wig, and so forth.
The modern BJD market began with Volks line of Super Dollfie in 1999. Super Dollfie, or just Dollfie, are sometimes erroneously used as generic blanket terms to refer to all Asian BJDs regardless of manufacturer. But Super Dollfie is a registered trademark for Volks line of BJD, and Dollfie is the trademarked name of their line of Barbie sized 1/6 scale vinyl dolls, which are not proper ball-jointed dolls at all.
