Hi everyone. I only recently started collecting BJDs and came across some humanoid bug like BJDs from Dream Valley, Xagadoll and Coralreef, I was wondering if there are other brands that create dolls inspired by bugs? Or make things like wings and such? I would love to see any BJDs inspired by bugs like spiders, snails, moths, beetles and so on. Or dolls with a few extra arms or eyes.
Nyxy's Creations has(d) spider bjds...Silk! They came in a variety of colours and were detailed and articulated a little better than some of the other "spider" bjds like Xaviera.
There are quite a few bugs out there, including spiders, snails, beetles, caterpillars, but I suspect most of them are off-topic. Check out Nympheas dolls, Quirky Qritters, Eve Studio Dolls, and The Mushroom Peddler.
There is also Elisabeth by Doll Chateau, she is a spider. They have also made Larry The Snail and Beatrice and Nehemie (they were the Dragonflies I think). I owned a Beatrice, she was stunning. IMG_6021 by Malizia Ele, su Flickr
Nyxy's Creations are cute and Xaviera dolls are so pretty! Oh my god the Quirky Qritters are so cute! They even have tiny little bees and the Eve Studio Dolls are so realistic. Thank you for sharing a picture they are all very pretty Wow It’s so cute and pretty
Off Topic, Mishi's Doll Bee Happy is a little 7cm bee and truly adorable! MissNekotaku on Etsy has a spider doll, Sküllaranæ, which I own and is very cute and good quality for a 3D print doll. Chromacritters on Instagram makes Celeste, a moth inspired girl with extra arm options. On Topic, Coral Reef/Whale Island Spider Cat! This is Sweet Neva, she is the Spider Cat head on their rabbit body, but there is also a spider body. Mine has the open mouth head and is without the magnetic cat ears. It was a limited doll, but I think some of the dealers may have various versions still in stock. 5Star Doll Jadeite is a mantis around YoSD size and a little cutie! They currently have blue and green in stock and on sale, and they're good to deal with. I don't think they do preorders anymore, they tend to just make whatever they feel like and list it in stock. They usually have Jadeite available, but the colors vary. Usually blue, pink, purple or various shades of green. Sort of buggy but not truly a bug, Nothing Sapiens Tamikan Space Tardigrade! Soom Opel & Lier are moth dolls, but they were very limited, so you'd have to find them secondhand or wait on a re-release. While not listed as default, ResinSoul will do some mods to their sculpts if you request it by email, and I have seen them do extra arms, and they'll do custom colors as well.
Islanddolls Ming Chen is a fun bug-inspired sculpt. Ming Chen, 35cm Island Doll (Shadow Island) Special Doll - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections
I've just sold off almost all of my bugs, but this kind of makes me want to buy one of these....I DO NOT NEED IT!! But I have ideas! Oh noooooo.
New For a long time, I've wanted a spider head with multiple eyes like Zhu Hong by Ling Tai (but a girl version), to make a jorōgumo.
