I wouldn't worry about that. It's best to get something that resonates with you. You can find some good info on vinyl anime dolls in the BJD thread in /jp/. Resin dolls attract a very different crowd, and you'll have to search for it to find anything good for you.

It is. Unless you want Barbies and Monster High stuff, get ready to take a hit to your wallet.
