For some time I have been thinking about buying a Dal doll from Groove company – it is a doll from the Pullip family, with a large head and a plastic articulated body. I found a doll I liked on Vinted and bought it 😁 It is a Dal Quince doll, but because it is used, it came to me with a replacement wig and clothes. I don’t mind because I liked her very much anyway and the hairstyle suits her very well. This is what my lovely Dal looks like:
The wig is removable and the eyes are movable. There is a mechanism on the back of the head that allows you to move your eyes left and right. Together with the doll, I received clothes, a hat, a stand and a few other gadgets – a really successful purchase at a satisfactory price:
Dal’s body is very slim and slightly smaller than Blythe’s, comparable to Ruruko’s. Unfortunately, the joints are very loose and it is difficult to stand her up even if she is leaning against something, I wonder if new dolls also have this issue? Below are photos for comparison:

When it comes to the mobility of Dal doll’s body, it is not as mobile as Ruruko dolls and has some limitations in joint mobility. Plastic is more hard and “slippery” and in general I prefer Ruruko’s body, I think that among my dolls Ruruko has the best body.
Dal doll’s feet are very small and unfortunately the shoes for Blythe or my other dolls do not fit her, even with socks. I’ll have to come up with something 😉
