Oh for sure! I do wish penny's box would start skipping the unicorn horn on every single doll, but overall, I appreciate the fact that in general there are a lot of cool anthro dolls being made! I do agree that it would be nice to have more variation from "ears slapped on head" though!
So I bought these Christmas babies from KikaGoods. I don't care how late they arrive; they are my holiday babies.
Oh they're so adorable ! Personally, being in the EU I wait for them to fix the issues with european shipping and then I'll make an order of a couple of dolls and accessories
I got two boxes of the HANI Sweet Afternoon Tea dolls for Christmas. @u@; more pics I got the full five of them and a few duplicates. They really are so cute! I haven't had a chance to actually play around with them yet, but I can't wait to get them dressed! x3 Now I just need to get my hands on the Sweet Dreams ones.
@Koma I recently ordered a (single) HANI Sweet Afternoon Tea doll, too! I’m actually jealous that you got so many at once, it’s a doll customizer’s dream! I also bought a BonBon Pocket Fashionable Cute Girl doll! Depending on how I feel about the doll I get, I’ll either give her a repaint and a new outfit, or I’ll use the body to make a hybrid with one of my Autna x CCTV heads.
Moyuyu Cute Tea Party images have been shared. They have a cool vibe to them. The different head for the alien girl seems like a very interesting addition. My only concern is the eyes look a bit washed out hopefully that improves in further prototyping. I really like the bat girl her wings look super cool. Sweet Emilya also look like they are making a bjd series. No pictures yet just some art but hopefully they’ll be cute. I find the figures pretty cute but much prefer bjds.
Hi! Could someone who owns a bunch of this kind of doll make a list of which dolls have inset eyes and which don't? I only really like inset eyes & it's really hard to tell from some of the product photos.
Inset eyes - Liroro, Antu Dunhuang Deer, Antu Cute Beast, Kokoya, Kukaka Insect Cafe, Minty Fantasy Forest, Electronic Pets, Nagi, Hani, Bonnie, Adou-Loong Fantasia, Mermaid Chuchu, Ufdoll DoReMi, Nyzaii, Nyssa Weird Nightmare. No inset eyes - Teenar, Peetsoon, Antu Mermaids, Antu Centaurs, Antu Nature Wonderland, School Huanting, Ten thousand escape plans, Ufdoll Fruit, Yunlai Food Shop, Moon Jumping Time Bunny. I hope this is helpful.
Ten thousand escape gives you a blank faceplate for inset eyes, at least with the hidden girl. Idk if they do it with all of them though.
Oh woah, it took me ages to find the offtopic forum but I'm absolutely pleased to find a thread on the front page dedicated to the blindbox minis! They've been a great way to satisfy my tan collectors heart on a budget xD
@Feathered Shadows Thanks for helping out! I've been out of the thread a bit, a combo of holidays and life stuff, but also unfortunately a seller I purchased one of the Come4Free Minty dolls from seems to have been giving me the run-around and it's taking a lot of energy to chase it up. It's kind of souring the whole thing. Anyway, I know there's been a bunch of news in my absence, and I'm still working on something special for this thread (and the sister thread), I'll try to catch up soon!
Hi! I have one NAGI doll I'm hoping to customize a tiny tiny bit, I am curious if anyone here knows if it's possible to buy eye chips in that size anywhere? (.8cm eye chips) I did a few searches but couldn't turn anything up, but I'm not super familiar with these types of dolls. I'd love to be able to get purple eyes for him without trying to buy another doll just to swap their eyes lol
The Secret Art Studio on Etsy makes phenomenal eyes, but they ain't cheap. EyeCo has a "Dragon Club" series of eyes, but the smallest is 11 mm. Do you need 8 mm as in the whole eye? Do you have an iris size in mind? Etsy seller Enapattern offers custom eye sizes that might be of interest to you, too? Hope this is a little helpful!
It looks like the Epets dolls are shipping to Modian buyers soon, and I am SO excited to get them! They look so adorable!
This line of dolls by a new company! They held a Modian Kickstarter a while back and after the CNY holiday they're going to be shipping out! Electronic Pet Game world Series 1/12 BJD Blind Box- Confirmed Styles
I got some friends! Liroro Summer Island, Bonnie The Starry Night, and Minty Fantasy Forest! I was hoping to put Liroro's ears on Bonnie, but they're the opposite polarity ahahah. Oh well! Liroro poses the best of the three in my opinion. Minty is wired but still holds poses terribly, it's like she fights back. Bonnie is little and adorable.
I'm a huge fan of Come4Free and had high hopes for Minty but besides the designs it seems like no one really likes the bodies... But their Bonnie dolls, especially with their big feet, have to be my favorite bodies out of a lot of the blind box lines!
Your friends are adorable! I hope to get a Minty girl soon myself. Here are my tiny friends! Imomo 1/12 PomPom Rabbit, Hani Sweet Afternoon Tea Strawberry Cream, Simontoys NYZAII Dream Town Series Fruit Orchard
It's been a while since I've checked this thread, so I didn't hear about this. I'm glad it seems that they fixed their mistake and found a legit company to partner with because I purchased the "All-in" option (all 6 bunnies + the hidden bunny + the blue bunny) and bought the blond limited bunny for my mom for her birthday next month. Hopefully everything goes better with their legit partner!
Time to report on a little news! This isn't exhaustive, I've no doubt I've missed tons, plus it can be very hard to keep track of these given how many are announced but then nothing's happened with them or they only show up again nine months later. Lulu Elf Story by Happy Engine, concept arts. Concept art of new collaboration line from SIMONTOYS Secret Tour by Sunless Studio, a look at a handful of prototypes. Sweet Street and Cool, by Chuz. Another handful of samples. Moon Series by HEWANWENHUA, some head samples. Sugar Index 100% by MOOWOO ART, body display. Of these, I think I'm most excited for Moon Series! I really do like more fantasy features (says me, somebody who has a very beige bland human from Liroro series 2 on the way lol), but in general I like all of the prototypes/samples listed above.
The way they drip-feed concept photos and WIPs is torture for someone who hates to wait like me! Excited for Secret Tour and Sweet Street the most!
Has anyone seen the boys? I am in love. The Past In Sicily Series MJD Action Figure Blind Box【Shipped in Mar./
@MaleficentMrsofEvil no I haven’t…umm….darn! Those boys are awesome! I really like them! I swore off all blind box dolls, but I’m rethinking that as too harsh. I just want the black one though, as he matches an off topic bjd I have in looks.
They are some good looking boys haha! KikaGoods is also finally allowing purchase of Nyssa Strange Nightmare, but I can’t decide if I’m going all in and getting the 7 of them, or if 1 would suffice.
My favourite sized blind box dolls! They are slightly bigger than my customized OB11 Nendoroid dolls, and in my opinion, the perfect cute (chibi) to pretty ratio. I'm a bit saddened that blind boxes are now trending towards larger 1/12 scales and even towards 1/6 because I love them small. However, I'm on the fence for the Nyssa Strange Nightmare series. I've long waited for a blind box series that catered to my love of dark fantasy and horror. It's just that when I feel they are neither small nor as creepy as I'd like them to be, they are just eh okay. I'll wait for an unboxing video to really decide.
My bunny girls from Inedible Doll showed up last weekend, just in time for a meetup! I chose the "All In" option and received the six regular girls, the special color, and the hidden. And I bought the blond limited one for my mom. I gave her the limited and the one with long white hair, since she also liked that one. Here are the seven I kept! inedibledoll_01 by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr inedibledoll_02 by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr inedibledoll_03 by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr inedibledoll_04 by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr Their outfits are really nice and I'm still super impressed with the quality. Each girl came with extra hands and feet, and two extra faceplates - one of which has eyeholes, so you CAN get inset eyes for them! Edit: Please note - some of the girls come with hair accessories and/or tails that I didn't have time to attach. The tails may need to be sewn onto the outfits, the hair accessories each come with a small square of sticky tack. Edit #2: The "All In" option also included a sheet of expressions that can be transferred on, along with some clear gel stuff. My order also came with one additional hair (front and back), spare white rabbit ears, and a pajama set. I think if I can find just a body, I can make another bunny girl.
They feel pretty nice! There's a good weight to them and I'd say they weigh slightly more than a Sweetheart Party Bonnie. They definitely don't feel cheap or flimsy, that's for sure! From the bottom of her shoes to the top of her head not counting her ears, the taller girl is 17cm. From the bottom of her paws to the top of her head not counting her ears, the shorter girl is 14.5cm. Here are my pink bunnies for a size comparison: inedibledoll_bonnie by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr Sorry about the blur. And here's the bonus hair and ears (stuck onto one of the many spare faceplates) that came with my order: inedibledoll_bonus (1) by Mandy McMahon, on Flickr I'm waffling on whether to make another girl or turn this one into a boy. My hubby and I have a running joke that every bunny doll I get is added to the number of (future) kids my main bjd couple have. That bonus head will be #17 when finished. XD Edit: For a while they were sold out, but you should be able to get them again if you so choose! ^^ Edit #2: The bonus hair and ears are a white cast of the same hair the hidden/mage has (and extra upright ears that also came with her.) I just put the two long strands away so I wouldn't lose them. The mask is part of a pajama set that you can still get at the moment. It's listed under the clothing set that looks like it's from Alice in Wonderland. Unfortunately, that one is sold out.
I'm beginning to think I can't be trusted - I was JUST complaining about how I need to cut down on my collection of Little Guys and as soon as my tax return hit suddenly I had another big batch on the way home, I don't know how that happened, so weird <.<
Of course! They shipped in batches so the first couple should be home soon, fingers crossed. In a "you're never too into a hobby to mess up" lesson learned, never trust an Amazon listing unless they show the box. And that's all i'll say about THAT. It's on me for only doing a cursory google search I guess.
There's more news than this, but I'm exhausted from life stuff, sorry! Concept/silhouette previews of new series from COME4ARTS, including Bonnie Weather Series 3 and Minty Ocean Gem Series 2. I'm a bit confused on this, as we've already had 3 series of Bonnie. Unless the Starry Night ones were a 2.5? Seems like this new Bonnie is the taller body too, to join Minty. Having literally just gotten my Minty about an hour ago after... 9 months waiting????, I do hope they make some improvements. The body is actually fine (better without the bad wiring they added than with), but the generic neck mechanism just cannot deal with the sheer weight of the head, even with a washer added. I'd like to see improvements in the neck region to make it sturdier that don't involve COME4ARTS ramming doubled-up wire in there. Concept illustration for a character from Electronic Pet Game World series 2. Absolutely adorable. Sugary Girls by OneMore are now up for pre-order. I swear it was just yesterday that these were only concepts, and now here they are! I was enamoured with these from the concepts, but I'm not sure any of the final dolls actually appeal to me. Well, the hidden does, but there's no way I'm going to go chasing the hidden!
Samples of For Moon series. "Screaming, crying, throwing up, etc", as they say. I... I actually might get multiple of these for the first time since original Bonnie, I love them!
Wow. You can really see the iteration in design in this little dolls. What a great time to be a collector!
One of the first two girlies who made it home (the rest are stuck in customs for "unknown reasons". thanks, usps.), Feathery Cat from Antu Cute Beasts Magic! She's soooo cute, and the peg for her lil kitty tail is even a ball joint so it can rotate! My only complaint is that her staff is pretty top heavy, so getting her to hold it can be a bit of a challenge. It's so nicely detailed though, that it's a pretty minor complaint!
From left to right: SimonToys Dream Town Flower Shop Rabbit, SimonToys Peetsoon Garden Party Piggy, Penny's Box Antu Nine Colored Deer Ran Xing, CYTOYS Hani Sweet Afternoon Tea Mint Light, and an Imomo 1/12 doll (she's not a blind box, but I just wanted to include her).
There are so many adorable little ones due to come out! Going to have to be very careful with the money. @nattherat I believe Starry Night was posed as Bonnie 2.5 when it was released? I might be misremembering that, though.
I just had to take another picture of 'Joy' she is a DoReMi. I put her into a new outfit. She is so tiny her seat is a spool of thread. 20250313_193114 by Rabbid Bunnies, on Flickr
I wanted to show off my little group since my boyfriend got me some tiny furniture for them yesterday! They never had furniture before but I love it and am already planning some DIY furniture projects The table and chair are the perfect size, I just need to paint them and make a tablecloth The dolls are UfDoll 1/12 bodies with 3d printed heads- Miku, Cassie and Kuni I'm still working on them and plan to do a lot of changes, so please excuse them being a bit shoddy>_< The other two are a bit too big for the furniture though- they're antu cute beast (sheep) with an UfDoll DoReMi head (named Arty) and a Kukaka insect cafe Akim
Forgive the terrible picture, but the bulk of my "i'm calling it a bday pressie to ME" order came in today and I have so much serotonin now. Why are tiny things so frickin cute?? L-R: Qing Lan and Yun Long from Nagi Happy Excursion, Muge from Minty Forest Fantasy, Xingyun from Moon Jumping Time Rabbit, Alice from Liroro Fairytale House, and Yue Ying from Nagi Happy Excursion. I think the universe knows I'm an aries, anytime there's a sheep option I always end up with it. The only snags were that Alice's collar tore while I was trying to get it on, and Xingyun didn't have anything to stick her bow and tail on with. I had plenty of glue dots from the mermaids though, and the collar is such a tiny part of the outfit that I don't particularly care. I have SO MANY tiny hands now, lmao.
Kikagoods just posted the For Moon Series girls and what they all look like besides the hidden and I’m in love! kikagoods on Instagram: "Toy share Brand: HEWANWENHUA For Moon Series MJD Aciton Figure Blind Box These 6 are all regular styles, are you looking forward to the hidden styles? Sales have not started yet, we will share more progress and news Follow us and get the newest toy share daily #kikagoods #actionfigure #dollcollector #blindbox #toys #dollstagram #kawaii #dolls #MJD"
I need the wolf and rabbit. But I'm also salty still that all of them have paws instead of like.... hooves for the non-mammals.
They’re going to come with regular hands! someone asked about it on Instagram! I NEED that elf girl so I’m getting all of them lol
I usually check aliexpress for open box options. I hate the blind box gimmick so much. I understand why people like it but I just want the thing that I want and not risk wasting a bunch of money on things I don't want!
I feel this deeply. I’ve never been able to get aliexpress to work for me, even with making an account unfortunately. But at least I have a few friends that want one of them and depending on how they look in person I do like all of them so I’m not too fussed about having to buy a carton. ^^;
Same, I love the dolls but hate the gambling I get that blind boxes encourage spending and that's part of the reason for them being cheaper, but when I'm getting one it is always open box!
'Sup, Brigadoon! Oh, these Nyssa Strange Nightmare series dolls are tempting me. Heel feet! Teeny tiny heel feet!
Aughhhh I am once again reminded of how much I want these girls. I keep telling myself absolutely not if I’m spending what I’m spending on BJDs, but all those freebies that come with them, and all their spooky little outfits??? I even have a doll who’s a doll collector to justify them!
