Ai dolls are a tiny, plastic (not resin) ball-jointed doll produced by Jun Planning/Groove, the same people who make Pullips. They come fully dressed and with a unique faceup per model, but their wigs and eyes are easily removable (respectively with Velcro and eye putty) for easy customization. There are 4 different face molds for Ai Dolls; there is a guide to the four types, with examples of each one, here.
