These dolls are YoSDs that are released on a limited run in a 'lucky box' system and the basic ones are only offered in MDD semi-white and blank. There are 5 basic sculpts and 3 special ones (in the special colors: purple and black and 1 transparent one) If you buy a 6-pieces set, you are guaranted to get all the 5 basic ones and a random 6th once. That can either be one of the basic ones or one of the specials. These dolls also seem to be known as dividing line bjd. This are the sizes: height:27.5 cm head size:16.7 cm => 6-7" wig neck size;:5 cm shoulder width: 6.8cm bust size: 12.3cm waist size: 10.3cm hip size: 14.5cm arm:7 cm legs:12.3cm thigh girth:8 cm feet:3.5cm They take 12-14mm sized eyes. ~*~ With the data out of the way, let's enjoy our anticipation and plans with these cuties! Update: Souldoll "sweetest" shoes fit There is a 2nd line out now called "Garden". The faces variate again but seem mostly human-themed. There is also 3rd line in the talks called Elf 2.0 but I've only seen two heads at this stage which look like fuzzy ears rather than what I imagine when I read elf
I'm getting just one! I'm excited for any type I get. They're all so cute. I can't figure out how I want them styled though. I'm hoping when they are in-hand I will figure it out, but that means they'll be bald and naked for a bit!
I’ve been really into anime dolls recently, so I got 2! One from a group order on Instagram and one directly from the artist’s taobao. I usually do mockups of anime dolls I'm going to get in Procreate, but since I don't know which ones I'm getting I guess I'll just wait I really hope I don't get 2 of the same sculpt, that would be a bummer. That's always the worst thing about blind boxes. I guess I'd just mod one if I got a double.
I admit I got a full set of 6 and have more or less plotted out what ‚role‘ I want them to take on/represent, but haven’t gone in full detail planing yet. With the exception of 3 I‘m still variable and I‘m super excited to find out what that random one is going to be. Two of the three I‘ve plans for will take a swin imto dyeing pots. Green for the little one with the teeth - it’s going to become an adorable treasure goblin - and blue for the one with the o-mouth - I want that style that ond like the little chinese zombies (not unlike QiQi from Genshin Impact game). I‘m actually contemplating getting another set seeing as the sale is still going on until Nov 15th and I‘m rather inspired with more ideas xD @Thymeseer I think it’s best to stay flexible and see what jumps at you when it’s there. Seeing how you don‘t know which one will come it’s making planing hard, no? XD @0bsequi0us Oh, two! Crossing fingers! Pretty sure there will be a lot of people looking to trade one or another. The artist is already making more than originally planned due the massive interest (which will also make production times longer for those joining in later, I am expecting, as the earlier orders need to be worked off first). Since you are into anime dolls? Do you have a recommendation for anime eyes? My treasure goblin needs the ‚cashing‘ ones with the ✨ glitter ✨ in the eyes and I don‘t usually have a need for those. On a side note, I‘m already looking into places for shoes and accessories and perhaps even outfits for one or another :3 Any recommendations for this size? (I‘m usually over in the MSD section and occasionally the SD one and while I already have a few yosds I’m not really knowledgeable about sellers for stuff for these cuties :p
@Snowy One taobao shop immediately came to mind for that kind of eye, actually! They're the acrylic kind but I think they might be similar to what you're looking for: {x} {x} TBH though I find anime eyes pretty hard to size 12-14mm seems so small compared to what I'm used to!
I ordered one from Clover Singing as a doll blind box sounded like fun and all the variations look cute, so... I don't have any plans for it yet and I think I'll decide what to do with it when I actually get it.
@0bsequi0us Oh! Thank you already bookmarking them and putting them into an excel file where I shall collect until I've got things together and am ready to order XD Oh? I thought 12-14 is a pretty standard size, but as I'm usually not planing anime-style dolls, I suppose I wouldn't know. I just feel like I keep running into them when looking for my MSD or SD crew XD @namika That's my trusted seller too XD It was funny as I at first one was like: I only want like these two with the elf ears, I have no use for those with open mouths and will trade them in. Now I'm like: I need all of them and maybe twice, if my mind won't stop coming up with ideas that I love XD I've actually three MSD characters that I'm contemplating 'giving' the one or other to as (summonalbe) minions XD
Just wanted to share a heads-up, that currently the september orders are expected for February, the october ones for March. The delay is mainly due to the massive number of orders that came rushing in and also a bit due to the chinese new year holiday. I've done some eye, wig and shoe shopping - at least for the first bunch, which is now on the way. Really looking forward to customize these cuties
The delivery of these guys seems to be all over the place One of mine actually just arrived at my agent yesterday, while I haven't heard anything about the one I bought through a dealer. I'm pretty sure I bought them both on the exact same day (9/10), so it's interesting that delivery would be so different based solely on where you place your order. (I'm definitely excited though, I got one of the ones I wanted! Hopefully shipping doesn't hold it hostage for months like all my other dolls lately OTL)
@0bsequi0us Oh my! Congratulations!!! Which one did you get? Crossing fingers for quick and safe arrival.
@Snowy I got #1 (I don't know if they have official names, to be honest) So the one with the smiling closed mouth and smiling eyes. Also now that I know which one I'm getting, I've been able to do mockups! Which features I go with will depend on how defined the mouth sculpt is in person. Spoiler
@0bsequi0us Oh, nice one Did your agent send you that pic? I did some mock-ups with the shot shots of the head-close ups that were avaible for some planning and plotting.
@Snowy Oh yeah, you got all 6! It'll definitely be interesting to see what you do with all of them, in a way I feel like I got the easiest one! the open mouth ones in particular seem like they would be hard to work with. And nah, I tried to use my agent's pic but it was too small. That's just a pic from the dealer's instagram where I bought mine.
Hello! me and my 5 friends ordered this lucky box and agreed to open randomly at the same time and let luck decide, what kind of doll we have.... I hope it will be fun There is so little info about these dolls, I hope more owner's photos will appear soon
@Vitarja Oh, that's a really lovely idea ^^ I definitly think it's fun and you can still trade if you'd rather have another :3 I generally hope there will be owner pics at all soon XD
I was trying to figure out what this company was called! I did a group order with local collectors and are our box arrived. I have my two in hand and they are super cute! Honestly also much nicer than I expected considering the price point
@Kim It's awesome to hear that you already have yours! Which ones did you get? I'm so excited to see what everyone does with theirs!
@Kim Congrats !!! That was fast!!! Pictures! Pictures! Pictures! XD So curious to see which ones you got
Sorry for the not great light, daylight is rarely seen right now lol They're really cute. I have the cheeky one and the sad face one? Their box does have hanzi for the sculpt names if anyone can get them. Spoiler: pic 2
@Kim Omg they're sooo cute, the sad face one is my favorite! The ones you got make a good duo personality-wise. I've just been referring to them by the order they're usually presented in (So like the sad faced one is #2, and mischievous face is #5), so I also hope we can figure out the proper names for them. Thanks for the pictures!
@Kim Whoooo! Very nice!!! I love the cheeky one so much! Thanks for sharing. The skin color also looks really nice Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with them ^^
@Kim, omg, thanks for the photoes! So great to see owner's pictures with them *___* They are so adorable, I'm happy for you ^__^ Oh, interested in picture of their "names" )))
I just got my 2 Goblin Babies in! I made a blog post with photos of the bodies, faces, and my first impression of them. These are the faces I got: Spoiler: pic 2 Here's a comparison photo of the Fairies body beside a YoSD and a pear-shaped 2D Doll tiny: Spoiler: pic 3
Very cute! Our lot did not have the one with the two fangs open mouth and instead got two of the squinty eyed one. It's interesting to see how the gacha aspect plays out. I wonder if anyone has gotten one of the purple or black ones
@Doll-Mage Oh! Good job! I have no plan to use the stickers either to be honest, but face-upping them is going to be a bit of a challenge. Love how you did mouths/little teeth. I can already see myself messing that up a few times ^^° Also the way the ears peek out of the vampire-like one is super-adorbs.
They have no clothes or any idea of who they are, but the baby is here! I've also never done an anime style faceup, so this will be an adventure. We call this outfit "6 year old wearing mom's shirt"
Oh, it's the one I call 'sly' face. It always makes me think of the Lalafell traders in Final Fantasy 14 XD (thou shall not trick me of my hard earned gil today!!! *shakes fist*)
Just got a shipping notice from Clover Singing/Christina~! She shipped using the logistics company Yanwen which usually takes around 10 days to get to me from previous experience. I hope it makes it here before the Lunar New Year holidays... It's cutting it very close though!
@namika OMGOD!!! Congratulations!!! I‘m crossing my fingers for you! Did you get one or more? Any particular one you are hoping for?
I only bought one and I don't really have any particular face I'm hoping for. I can't remember what faces there are actually!
@namika Oh, that makes it even more fun and surprising XD Here's a link to the potential contents of your surprise Login • Instagram
For those interested in sewing clothes for their odd-sized goblin babies, I made blocks for bodice and pants patterns. It's in the free downloads section of my website.
Heeey popping in here. I just got my shipping notice from clover singing. Desperately hoping i'm lucky enough to get the purple skin one since i'm planning on making it a Gengar and that'll make it way easier as i won't have to dye it lol I'm excited to see what other people do! My first plan was a lalafell so i kinda hope some people do that XD
I was thinking LaLafell/potatoes the moment i saw these too!!! I might occasionally let one of mine cosplay as one xD Gengar is a cool idea. Here’s crossing fingers.
Haha I'm sure anybody who plays FFXIV and saw these thought lalafell! I fully intend on making mine a lalafell.
Mine has arrived way ahead of schedule! I got number 3 face, the one with all the teeth. According to the back of the box, his/her official name is Nobby. Mine didn't come with those decals everyone else seem to have got though...
I was reeeally going to go with the lalafell idea but i don't already have a character so i'd have to make one and decided "eh i like gengar better." So here we are. @nattherat please post pictures of your finished lalafell! I did see that some people are getting decals but i wonder if they were maybe limited supply? I'll let you know if i get them or not. I won't be using them probably so it's nbd for me though
@nattherat This is their perfect chance to make their cuttroath business lil stabby a-hole XD Will you make your WoL or one of the existing Lalas or simply an OC? :3 @namika Whooo! So lucky! What are you going to make out of it? @DontShoottheDucks :3 I'm really courious how your human-oid version of Gengar is going to work out :3
@Snowy My WoL most likely! It depends on how well the face actually works in reality. I had previously been preparing to 3D print my character for an exact replica, but I do find 3D printed resin very fragile and frustrating, so I am happy to “compromise” on exact likeness. Only to an extent though; like many people I am very precious about my WoL!
@nattherat crossing fingers it all works out for you For me the last one in the first row and the first one in the first row are the ones that remind me the most of LaLas Login • Instagram Oh, really? I have a 3D resin printer myself and what I printed was way better than what I had printed elsewhere. But of course it's not the same as cast resin. I've decided to honor my my main WoL and my 2nd character (and potentially an OC that is not a WoL) at last as well. I've had them for so many years, it's about damn time they get doll of their own Only time will tell if I can pull it of and if I won't slip up and make the 3rd character I recently created into a doll as well XD
One of my dolls (the one that was still a mystery to me) arrived out of the blue yesterday! I was so thrilled, I got the one I really wanted!
@0bsequi0us Oh, wow, congrats! And you already finished styling her too. Is that a visual effect or did you make it's eyes bigger by face-up? (outer eye corners)
@Snowy Yep, I tried to make the eyes look bigger with the faceup. Which was a little difficult for me tbh, since the faces aren't quite as flat as other anime dolls I've worked with.
@Snowy me too honestly. I'm not sure what i'll do just yet. Probably gonna end up winging it once it gets here lol
@DontShoottheDucks, wow, Gengar is nice idea! I hope fore purple one too cause I love all kinds of purple skin tone *__* But did not see any "special" kind of these dolls arrive yet... Did not know abour lalafell, they are so cute *__* @0bsequi0us, wow, he is so cool!
I also have not seen anyone with a special color yet. It could be any of us! *fingers crossed* Also it seems like i may have been hit by bad timing with the post though, as my doll hasn't moved in days. Seems all the chinese posts have already closed for the new year holiday so i'm stuck waiting for movement until they reopen. Hope everyone else's made it out before then
@0bsequi0us Wow. Good job. I really did wonder if I had memorized their faces wrong XD Unless I remember wrong there are three purple, three black and one 'diamond' one in the whole batch. Could be that the artist also raised the numbers after we flooded them with orders. Could also be that those receiving them might not actually participate in the 'publishing pics' of their dolls part of the hobby. @DontShoottheDucks Oh, new years is still a bit off and with my recent experiences I can tell you it's totally normal for them to sit around at the airport for a while, waiting to get an empty spot on their intended flight. There a major backlogs not just in the private sector and I believe a lot companies tried to fulfill orders and put them up for shipping before the new year festivals to have a piece of mind, so there are even more pakets than usual waiting to be passed on.
I dream about it *_____* Login • Instagram here it says that purple is 15% black one is something 5 and diamand is a mystery x) I hope the artist did raise the numbers of spesial dolls And I hope we will see at least few photoes of them, if we are not lucky enough...
@Vitarja Oh! Then they already raised the numbers or adjusted them before release :3 nice, purple is suddenly not that out of reach anymore XD And I agree, I'd totally love to see all of them at least once (I have to admit to myself I've been hit with the Lalafell fever. I just read potatoes instead of photos ^^°)
@Snowy ah good to know. I was just confused since one of the chinese bjd companies i follow on instagram said their post office closed on the 20th for the new year holiday but being as english is not their first language, they may not have meant that exactly It's true we might just not be seeing the pics lol. But we can all dream! I'm still hopeful! But it's no big deal at the end lol. I can make it purple myself Gosh i hope i see tons of lalafells though!
@DontShoottheDucks Lunar New year officially starts on the 1st February each year, but some companies might close up early - especially country side. I'm mostly going via translations and some aquaitances who semi-know chinese (learning right now). I'm looking forward to see anything people make with these. They are just too adorable XD I'm going to dye two of them myself, if things go according to plan, so... :3 know that feeling.
Actually, Lunar New Year starts on a different day each year as it follows the lunar calendar (hence 'lunar' new year), not the Western calendar. It usually starts somewhere in either late January or early February. (I've lived in Hong Kong all my life and celebrate the Lunar New Year every year.) It's true though that some companies in Mainland China do close up early for Lunar New Year as it's one of the few big holidays they have. The other being Golden Week in October. Golden Week starts on 1 October which is China's National Day. This one is on the same day every year.
@namika ah thank you for explaining. I knew it could shift around a bit but i've never been sure just how much. It's interesting that the companies seem to pick whatever days they want though lol. Another company just announced their break and it was different from previous ones so *shrug* In any case i did actually get a new update today saying it's outbound! So i guess it was just backlogged. I'll update once it's here!
@namika Ah, you are totally right! I should have read properly before posting. I meant to write 'around' 1st Feb ^^° oh well, that one's on me. I didn't knew Golden Week was celebrated in China as well. I always somehow thought it was Japan only event. I guess hobby-wise it must be cool living so close to a lot of creators. I'm sure you get access to china-only thing and Hong Kong Dollism *0* @DontShoottheDucks Ooooh! Congrats! Godspeed!!!
