Little Pullips
Little Pullip is a miniature version of Pullip. Often called a 'mini', Little Pullip stands about 4.5 inches tall. Several editions of Little Pullip are miniature copies of previously released full-sized dolls with similar name, clothes, hair, and makeup. Paja is the one Little Pullip that was later made into a full-sized Pullip. The others are unique to Little Pullip and do not have a full-sized counterpart. Little Pullips starting with Swan each came with a doll stand and button featuring a her picture.
Little Pullip lacks much of the articulation of the original doll, and the eyes do not move or blink. Despite their small size and limitations, Little Pullips are also customizable. They can be re-wigged, given other eye/colors, and new makeup painted on their faces. Originally, the dolls were going to be released with some eye articulation (either movement from side to side or blinking ability but probably not both) but due to production problems the doll was delayed for months and when eventually released had no eye movement.
Little Pullip dolls were released monthly in 2005 and 2006. The original Little Pullip dolls have been discontinued by the manufacturer, possibly due to slow sales. However, there are many devout Little Pullip collectors and customizers. A few Little Pullip dolls have already doubled, possibly tripled, in price. The rest are still relatively inexpensive - especially compared to thier larger counterparts.
A new line of miniature dolls may be released with a completely different body and head design.
Also, a new type Little pullips were released in 2008. They are called Little Pullip+. Those Little Pullips+ does look more like a bigger-sized Pullip.
