Hello! I am awaiting a 6cm Chibihana in opaque green resin from Miss Nekotaku on Etsy! She responded very quickly and was very patient with my numerous questions lol She even sent me a minute long video showing the possibility of the doll I wanted to buy! I am so excited! Has anyone else bought from Miss Nekotaku? Which color resin did you order?
I do not know if it will be glittery. I just went with the default choice for that color on Etsy. I am sure whatever she sends me will be interesting and fine. Did you order opaque green or clear green? The green is a really nice color.
Opaque! I also bought some pink cherry blossom nail decals to make her into a spring faerie! And yes! All of her resin. Choices are lovely!
I'm curious about these dolls - my friend showed me the crow last night and I almost bought one on the spot! If black resin had been available I might have. my two big reasons for pausing were I can't decide on color (and I have three other pet dolls on order), and I had never heard of her until last night, so it's nice to see this thread.
Oh man, i'm so tempted by the Mantis doll (I started keeping preying mantises last year so it's super appealing to have a bjd one). Sadly Etsy's new 20% vat charge adds a big chunk of money so that's very off putting as feel I can't quite justify the £30 vat that Etsy wants to charge on top of the doll and shipping Does anyone know if they sell anywhere else?
MissNekotaku has just sent me a picture of my doll which is being shipped out: https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/954194....329884654_p4hn3knezeo4088gc8kg.jpg?version=0 So cute! I am so excited!
Jealous! I have yet to get an update... She said she would send me a picture once she started the doll sometime this week... I really want an update but do not want to be a bother... When should I ask for one?!
I am sure that you could message the seller and ask her! She has a facebook and is part of the BJD addicts group on there!
Mangaluvr92, I think: Do not bother her. I would bet that you will hear something by Sunday night. If she has mine ready, she is working on yours. ... And I just received a shipping notice! So, now we wait for it to arrive.
I am so excited! I should be receiving the sakura blossom nail decals "tattoos" today and I already bought some tiny fake flowers to make her a wig and clothes! I haven't been this excited for a doll in a long time
Aww thanks! I don't have facebook but found her over on Twitter. Sadly they have messages turned off there so doesn't look like I can contact her to see if she does direct sales which is a shame Ahh, I really curious how your plans for your dolls work out! It'll be interesting to see detailing done on such small dolls
I've tried but the message keep failing to send so think they may have messages switched off there too. Also i'm not sure if there is a rule on Etsy about discussing sales off site as it's a real no-no on Ebay so don't want to cause trouble for the seller if that's the case
Okay. How about you just ask her for her email address on etsy? Ooops! I see what you are saying! But, I do not think that their messages are off on etsy. I have "spoken" to her through etsy. I think: Try again.
I brought a Dollfie Dream head on layaway from another seller that was listed on Etsy, and we set it up directly through dm's, so I think it's okay.
My little doll arrived today. Oh my god, it is fabulous! It came with a certificate of authenticity, a treat, and a charm. The blue-black color that I ordered is magical. I could not be happier.
Yay, congrats! I hope you'll be able to share a picture at some point as i'm really curious as to what people have planned for their dolls
The picture of my doll is in the link on post #11 of this thread. I don't intend on changing the doll or adding anything to it.
Ooh, Miss Nekotaku has a little sale going on so i've ordered a mantis as the sale helps reduce the extra tax cost. I've ordered a white one with transparent wings. I plan to paint it with green to pink gradient stripes that are loosely based on my Spiny Flower mantis They do have a super cute style that works well for the insect and arachnid dolls
OH that sounds gorgeous! I think even a cute spider is too spidery for me, but somehow despite being an arachnophobe, I ADORE a mantis. And my sister is a lifelong bug-lover, so I had to show her, too...
lol I was literally thinking this XD My crow has been finished and is getting shipped tomorrow!! I'm so excited! I may have to finally blush all my corvid bjds. I say all like I have a lot. I will have three when this one arrives.
Hooray! Glad your doll is ready. I've just got a message saying my doll is ready too, that was super fast!
oops, she just put a deinonychus in her store, and I ordered it I think half an hour later max XD It should be roughly the right size to play with my mature 1/6 and while I was there I also got a crow as a pet for my 1/4 XD gotta make the best of the shipping fee!
Looking at her dolls is so inspiring ;o; I'll just be over here dreaming of making my own doll designs into reality hehe I love the amount/variety of birds she has. :3 Just because there's not enough bird dolls in the world! They're so cute, I'm very tempted... but must be good. o_o; I do love me some bird dolls though.
I looove the little deinonychus, It's got feathers and everything. It's definitely been added to my list to buy. It will be a fight between my DollLeaves Laura and my Frappzilla Blooms to see who claims it as their pet dino, lol.
I have one of her cute little ammonite dolls, and I bought a Baby Hastur for a friend last year who is very into the Lovecraftian mythos. They're awesome! I really want a bunch of her spiders too.
I love MissNekotaku! I'm supposed to be saving money because I'm moving, but aaaaahhh I want one of the resin parasaurs! Parasauropholus has been my favorite dinosaur since I was a kid, and it's so affordable! My roommate: You want to buy a resin dinosaurs but you won't let me buy this bag? Me: Yeah but you already have a lot of bags. I have zero resin dinosaurs!
I broke down last night and ordered a Pserhîa mermaid in skin with a transparent blue tail. I think what really got me was the tiny size. Thanks for posting this thread because I would never have known about and added half a dozen more dolls to my wishlist. lol
Sorry for the double post but my little merbaby arrived end of last month. I haven't done anything with it yet but I think I'm a little intimidated by painting something so tiny, I mean they fit pretty comfortably in my Resinsoul Mi's hand. I haven't taken any photos yet, but I do have the pic she shared with me just before shipping which makes it look like twice or more its actual size. How am I going to paint such tiny features?
I have to say I have much more respect for the artists who create and paint micro bjds after trying to work out how I'm going to do it.
I just ordered a Krokrode-lus and am so excited for this little dude! I caved when there was Loki horns for him. XD
Wasn't familiar with him and had to look him up. He's adorable. What color did you choose for him? Think I may have to snag a Mycotæ if I get the chance, since he'd be a perfect little friend for my Dollzone Baby Raphael Myca who is mushroom themed.
WOW, THAT's SMALL!!! i'd get a 000 size modeler's brush and some TAMIYA COLOR plastic model paints in the colors you require. a bottle of 91% or purer Iso Alcohol will clean up Acrylic, water-based paints such as these, wet or dry, and a set of fine-tipped, cosmetic Q-Tips will enable you to clean-up and true your paintwork with fine precision...
I just got normal alligator color green. XD He's going to be alligator Loki so I wanted to keep it somewhat natural. Though, it was a hard choice between the opaque and the translucent. Aww, that would be cute!! Doo eet!
Payday is in just under a week so after I figure out my "fun money" budget if I have enough to do it I may have to. Plus they'd be a lot easier to paint/customize than my little mer-baby.
I just noticed that Miss Nekotaku has added a little pumpkin critter (Pumptorokin) to their lineup for spooky season, so I , still bummed that I couldn't get their little pumpkin seedlings last year, of course had to get one . They had one in stock, in the traditional pumpkin colors with black on the inside of the head, and I just bought him. He'll be my first Miss Nekotaku doll and first 3D printed doll in general, I'm really curious to see how he'll be in person.
He's adorable! Love that he comes with a little lantern to put in his head. Please post pics when he gets here. I'm still a little intimidated by my mer-baby but I'm sure a lot of that comes from just how tiny it is. I'm hoping funds will be better next month and I'll be able to order my Mycotæ which I think will be a little easier to handle.
He's here already And little pumpkin baby brought along a little freebie friend! I didn't order anything other than Pumptorokin, so finding this little Astrafleura in the package, even if it's clearly a B-grade/test print/prototype (different eye shape and no muzzle) was a nice surprise^^.

He's so precious! His little buddy is adorable too but then I'm a sucker for mushroom characters! Congrats!
Well I did it while I have the chance to before I once again waste all my fun money on fast food. I ordered Mycotæ in white resin with a transparent red hat and collar. I Now comes the wait.
In one sense I'm extremely impatient in the other sense it's okay if he takes his time since I wouldn't be able to work on him right away. There are quite a few of their dolls I feel that way about and the spider keeps creeping on and off of that list. lol if you do decide to get one please post it here.
Sorry for double posting but I woke up to a shipping notification and picture of my little mush dragon and I'm so excited! Hopefully the post will be nice and he'll have a safe and short trip to me. He's just so perfect and I can't wait till he gets here!
