Let's chat about our Joydoll J-Baby skellies here! Joydoll is a Taobao artist, their adorable 1/6 size skeleton dolls can be ordered through Clover-Singing and Moonlight BJD when there's a preorder going on. EDIT: Apparently BJDivas is now also an official dealer for J-Baby^^. Here's mine being flexible^^: Poses by jefvonk, on Flickr I think I'll just need to get a second one, I can't choose between giving this one's body to my pumpkin prince or letting them be their own character, so I guess I'll just do both:P.
I love these dolls! I do not have one but definately plan to bring one home some day. They are the cutest thing, the sculpting is beautiful.
I've seen one on Flickr somewhere that had been arted up so wonderfully. Well beyond anything I could imagine. Mind blown, as they say. Now I see them as a canvas of possibilities!
I think I’m going to have to get one of these guys. I really want the pumpkin head, and I mean, why not both?? I really really want two pumpkin heads, one with skeleton body and one with normal, and a skeleton, but that may not be in the budget.
Omg these are the cutest thing ever. If I didn't already have my Walloya Morring baby skeleton I'd have to order one.
Mine came a few days ago, and the doll and coffin box are just perfect. I need to figure out clothes next.
@Greymews Congrats^^! They fit regular Yo-SD sized clothes, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something.
Yup, looks like these guys can wear generic YOSD sized clothes They take 14mm size eyes with flat backs or half rounds. The 14mm eye chips for Blythe dolls will also fit so they can be used if you want to make your own eyes.
Just some skelly-spam. Funsie in a onesie! Btw @ShuriTigerH I wonder if it might be a good idea to link here the unboxing thread you did? It has such a lot of good info and photos with your unboxing and review that it might be helpful to make it easier to find for people who are interested in these dolls
@Epicari Your skelly is so adorable and kinda sassy. That is a doll that knows they look good and will strut around town head held high.
I have one! Meet Baby Morrie: She's a splendid clothes horse. When I eventually get her painted, I want her blushed in pinks and purples.
@Wyrd Thank you! She sits in another outfit as a default, but that little dress has a tulle yoke that lets her collarbone and ribs peek through beautifully! It's a Dollmore dress, and still in stock.
everyone's skellies look so good! i love these outfits i'm so glad to see some clothing size suggestions, i don't have many this tiny, it's so helpful! here's spam of my little boy, helping unbox a 1/3 poor little thing needs blushing, more eyes and clothes... i wish i'd been able to get 2.0 with the "OK" hands and the amazing coffin update as a friend for him. did you guys suede yours or wire?
Love seeing all these skellies! I ordered a pumpkin head during the preorder, but plan on putting mine on an msd body I think.
I did put a skeleton, full pumpkin head and just pumpkin head on layaway, and was told after I paid payment 2, the skeleton would ship! So my new skeleton is home now I’m slightly paranoid about damaging them, but very excited to figure out what I want to do with them!
@Grimalkin thanks! I got white. I am not sure what I’m going to do with him… I have several horror-themed dolls that are blank atm so I need to work on figuring them all out as a unit maybe
@VampireAngel13 Congrats, that was quick! I'm kinda regretting not grabbing another skelly and possibly a pumpkin head, I skipped on them in favor of other dolls, but I really do want my skelly to have a friend. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do with your skeleton and pumpkins, your dolls are always so wonderful and unique^^.
@ShuriTigerH it was!! My pumpkin heads are still out there in layaway land, but if they show up I’ll pay them off! I would love to get a second skeleton myself- I would like to put the second pumpkin head on it… lol I need some inspiration and some time-motivation to work on all my blanks!
My pumpkin heads are in!! Just have to pay them off and they’re on the way! I’m so excited, I ordered the full doll in tan and don’t have too many tan dolls. Then I need to find a body for the head….
@Katiebob You'll have to wait for another preorder period to open up (I assume there will be more preorders seeing how popular the skellies seem to be). I can't tell you when that will be as I don't know either, just keep an eye on the New Clover-Singing and Moonlight BJD dealer websites, they carry Joydoll, so if there's a new preorder they should be available through those dealers. Or maybe try to find Joydoll on Taobao, but I don't know how that works, Taobao seems complicated for us non-chinese speakers. THat said, does anyone know if Joydoll has a website or something where they announce preorders? I haven't really checked yet, but I am very much waiting for another preorder, I am definitely kicking myself now for not grabbing another skelly and at least one pumpkin when I had the chance.
Can anyone confirm what their turnaround time was for the J-Baby? I placed my order Oct 20 but still not a shipping notice. Purchased via Moonlight btw. Edit: Just saw the post on Moonlight's website that orders placed BEFORE Oct won't arrive until Feb-March..yikes. So looks like I got a few months a minimum.
Whoo, I just won an in-stock pumpkin head from Jeeryama on Ebay^^! Now let's see how quickly it will get here, the whole shipping situation in China has me a bit worried^^;;
This is one of the dolls I’ll never regret spending money on! They are so expressive and cute! Login • Instagram Sorry for the link, adding ficker images never works well for me…
@Lillyevergold Eee, TWO of my favorite dolls in one pic! What a perfect combination of creepy and cute.Your skelly is breathtakingly gorgeous and the little bunny (and his equally OT-for-this-thread kitty friends) are forever on my wishlist.
@ShuriTigerH Oh thank you!! I’m glad you like them!! Yes, creepy and cute is one of my weaknesses! So I was in love with both these dolls from the moment I saw them.
They finally got here yesterday! Joydoll pumpkin heads by Vampire Angel13, on Flickr So cute. Absolutely love this body.
@VampireAngel13 They're super adorable, congrats! Now I really want my pumpkin to get here. Jeeryama shipped her Economy, through OrangeConnect, I hope she'll get here safely.
She'll probably be ok! Mine took FOREVER to get here - they just sat in the US eternally until tracking suddenly updated and they were out for delivery. Then the box looked like it had been tossed to the porch from the plane. but they were packaged within an inch of their lives and everything inside the box was fine! That might not have helped. lol
i just got my ship notice too! grey skellie 2.0 incoming! he's already in country too -woot- congrats to everyone on the new pumpkin babies too
Hi all! I love all these skellies SO much! I’ve been looking at them for months on and off and I just can’t get them off my mind… They just have my name all over them ha. Are they truly limited though, or are there releases of them from time to time? By the looks of this page they’re released every once in a while, but kind of at random? I found Joy dolls profile to follow on instagram but any info is appreciated!
@blackcat87 I think they are releasing every once in a while randomly. They are made by a single person, not a company, so I guess they do a preorder when they feel like it. I recommend following NewCloverSinging on instagram, you can buy one though them when there is a preorder. I’ve bought mine there.
Earlier this year I saw the artist mention on one of thier pages (I think it was on thier weibo) that they might do some more skellys toward the end of this year. Like @Lillyevergold I also got mine through Clover-Singing so hopefully they will offer them again with her as a dealer
@Lillyevergold and @Epicari thank you, I plan to keep my eyes peeled! I’ve always wanted a skeleton style doll and these ones are so realistic, spooky and somehow cute all at the same time. I’d love to have one to keep my pipos Cheshire company!
I need one of these little skeletons! I hope Joy does another preorder soon. Just FYI, there are J-Pumpkin heads in stock right now at Moonlightbjd.com
Just a heads up for those who are interested, it looks like JoyDoll will be opening up on the J-baby Skeletons next month.
