PullipPullip is a doll created by the Korean company Chunsang Chunha and marketed by JUN Planning of Japan. First released in 2003, Pullip is distinguished by her oversized head (most likely inspired the by the popular Blythe) and highly articulated body. Pullip also has a unique eye mechanism that allows her eyes to move back and forth and wink via controls on the back of her head. Each doll comes with a unique outfit and accessories, and later dolls have trading cards and a stand.
Early dolls had Marmit-type bodies with visible screws. The first three dolls (Moon, Street and Wind) have weak necks that easily snap, though this was remedied with later releases. Starting in Dec 2003 with the release of Venus, Pullips have a new body that is lighter with no visible screws, soft torso, and joints that can be pulled apart. Since Arietta was released in March 2004, all dolls have been wigged (earlier releases had rooted hair)
