Earlier versions of ball jointed dolls that were made in Egypt are made of wood and other materials and dates back hundreds of years ago. As the years go by and as the demands for more modern ball jointed dolls increase, a lot of manufacturers and creators of ball jointed dolls are taking into consideration the changes and adjustments that need to be made. Today there are several types and sizes of ball jointed dolls available in the market. The earliest ball jointed dolls were all around 60 centimeters (24 in) tall, but as the market expanded they have been produced in many different types and sizes. There are roughly three main size categories for ball jointed dolls: full size, mini and tiny. Large full size dolls, sometimes referred to as SD size are around 60 cm. roughly 1/3 scale, they usually represent fully grown teenagers or adult body types. There is also a range of even larger full size ball jointed doll from about 70-90 cm tall. Mini size dolls, sometimes referred to as MSD size are about 40 cm tall. There are two major categories of minis: those that are roughly in the same scale as the 1/3 full-size dolls and meant to look like children, and mature or slim minis which are meant to represent fully grown adults that are in 1/4 scale. Tiny BJDs are under 30 cm tall. They are available in many different types and scales. Some tiny BJD are made to look like toddlers or babies next to full size dolls, these are about 25 cm (10 in) tall and are sometimes referred to as Yo-SD size. Even smaller childlike dolls, tiny tinies, are usually not made to be in scale with any larger ball jointed dolls. A few tiny BJDs have mature bodies and are in the same 1/6 scale as fashion dolls like Barbie, about 21-30 cm tall. Humanoid anthro animal ball joint dolls are usually in the tiny size scale.
