Theme Insect BJDs

Apr 5, 2024

    1. Lately I've become really interested in BJDs sculpted to resemble insects. These are my two little bugs, a Soom Opel/Lier and a 5StarDoll Jadite.

      There's also SIO2's Canmu/Silkworm Baby which I love but do not (yet!) have.

      Please show me your buggy babies, or tell me about other insect sculpts you know about! :)

    2. Nympheas dolls has caterpillars and Quirky Qritters on Etsy has various insect bjds, but they are not basically human with bug features, they are anthropomorphized bugs. Here are some.
      It occurred to me that these are off-topic so here is a link instead.

    3. Charles creature Cabinet has an adorable bee - BeWithMe! I have one in yellow resin. Dream High Studio had a bee and a ladybug, too, released quite a long time ago. I have the SIO 2 caterpillar/ silk worm. Mouton de Sucre also has quite a few insects, including a bee. I think its Dream Valley that had a wasp and maybe also a praying Mantis if I remember correctly! I love both your dolls, especially the moth!

    4. Dream Valley had 1/4 mantises (Rita & Freya)! And I also came across Coral Reef's little mantises when searching for them (who are extremely adorable - but I think off topic. Coral Reef has plenty of bigger bug girls, too, though).

    5. Thank you! And that's so wonderful that you have the SIO2 silkworm. If you feel comfortable posting some photos of yours I would absolutely love to see! I love the sculpt and it's been pretty difficult to track down owner photos.

    6. I am loving this thread because I've been trying to build my own bug family after becoming obsessed with Bug Fables. :D I didn't even know that Soom moth existed! What a cutie, I'm in love.

      Mishi's Doll Bee Happy is an adorable little sculpt, so cute I had to get three of them. She's...I think...7cm tall? Itty Bitty! You can order through her instagram.

      Here's my hive (with Kukaka Insect Cafe blind box bjd bee on top--I also have the scarab and orchid mantis)

      I also have the Quirky Qritters Marimo, who is a little roly poly pill bug, but off topic.

    7. Oh my gosh what an adorable little family you have! I love the honeycomb-shaped display for them, that's so clever!

    10. Ha ha ha I love my terrifying monster mantitaur Rita from Dream Valley. Denver Doll has Rita and Freyja blank and full sets in stock, too, and yes I will mosey over there to look and sigh wistfully. I would love a little army of them.

      That's a standard Loong Soul MSD body in comparison. Rita stretches out to about four more like three feet tall.
