Painted Minono and it was such a disaster I'm starting again... Did discover that her sculpt is very assymetrical, she must be hand sculpted. Her nose is higher on one side than the other! I'll sand that down when I wipe her. I can report that she fits Disney animator shoes perfectly, but the clothes are much too wide for her. Her body is chunkier than MSD, but not dramatically.
After little bit of nose sanding and a new face up, Minono is ready to meet the world! Xaga Minono by Georgie, on Flickr Xaga Minono by Georgie, on Flickr
@babytarragon Awe! She's so cute! I love the color of her dress, it really makes her wig color pop! Great job on her!!!! Please, share photos anytime!
I had a wonderful surprise when I got up this morning! I got the shipping notice for my MiCoco from Clover-Singing! It's been just over four months and I ordered the faceup and outfit! I'm so excited!
I just ordered May from Clover-Singing this morning! She'll be my first resin doll. Hopefully she'll be home before Christmas!
Yay!! Congrats! Did you order her blank or with face up? I'd love to hear what you have planned for her. My May boy is excited about your order, too.
Oooh congrats on your order! I'm rather jealous! I want May, myself! Hopefully will order her once companies stop releasing new Limited dolls that I just have to have.
I ordered her blank, in the pink normal skin, with the large bust. x3 Yay! Depending on the vibe I get from her when she arrives, she'll be one of the 2 characters that I want to develop. I'm hopping that having a physical doll around will help inspire the story and details behind who she is and what she does, haha. The plan is for her to become "Cadence", a young nomad in some sort of self-imposed military/cadet like organization. (It might even be just her in an organization of 1). There will be elements of fantasy and maybe just a few small distopian aspects. I wish I knew what her mission is, but unfortunately all I know is that she's generally pretty quiet and keeps to herself, is observant of the little things in life, and might perceive the world differently than others. I think she is unknowingly going to be her own biggest enemy. ...also, Cadance is kind of a cheesy name for a military inspired doll, so I might change it to Candace or come up with something else, haha.
OoOoO! I love your concept for her. It always makes me smile ear-to-ear to hear owners' detailed characterizations! And I am a sucker for (most) sculpts blank. The May sculpt is no exception! I wish her a speedy arrival! My boy only took two or three months from Clover-Singing---much faster than I had anticipated given Xaga's notoriously long wait time.
Totally just ordered May. xD Got her in pink normal skin with the small bust and default face up. Guessing she'll be here sometime in late January?
It might not be that long. I ordered two 27cm mature dolls from Alice's Collection and they arrived in just over two months!
On the other hand, my Micoco from Clover-Singing took four and a half months. So it's hard to predict!
Eep xD And I ordered a face up, too. So that adds a few weeks. That's OK though I ordered her knowing full-well that there'd probably be a wait. It's nice to space out my new arrivals anyway
I'd love to see your Micoco. She is actually the BB I love most from Xaga. I think she'll be the next Xaga that I order. If only I could choose between her and Huajing Doll's Youle..
Yes indeed! Pictures! I bet she's sooo cute. How many BB do you have now? I just have my two BDFs, but I'll be looking to add a few more to that number next year.
I guess my three Holiday's Child dolls from Rosenlied were my first dolls in the BB range. This size has really caught on! I also have MYou Loretta and I have ordered Basil from Spiritdoll. The ballerinas from Dollzone are tempting! I hadn't seen Huajing Dolls before!
@nancy_schroeder_ca - Im a huge fan of Huajing I have one of their regular sized MSD girls here, and another on the way. I cannot speak enough to their quality. I remember your MYOU Loretta! I am really tempted by the 1/6 version.. Holiday Child dolls are so pretty! But sadly, the ones I want most have been long discontinued, so I'll need to just wait around for a Limited release @PeppermintPocky - Thanks so much ^_^ I think you knew that I probably wouldn't wait too long to order her. I'm not the best at waiting D:
Oh yes, most definitely! I hope that very much @Nickel ^_^ Did you get a face up with your May as well?
No...I ordered mine blank. Now that I think of it, I probably should have considered that it will be the middle of winter when she arrives and I won't be able to spray MSC that easily due to the cold, haha.
I've been spending a lot of time with my work-in-progress catboy (Xagadoll May) recently. Received his scruffy wig in the mail, so I was finally able to sew his cat ears to it. Even bought him his proper eyes and am about to mod off his human ears. I also started a project journal detailing his customization, for anyone who may be interested in following along. Here's a photo of him clutching the fluffy tail I made for him: Eon is one of my oldest characters so his doll form means the world to me. Your Mibobby is so adorable!
aww after a long time I finally manage to order my first bjd May boy Now I will have to suffer the long wait but it's worth all for my boy Love to see there fellow that also love May sculpt, he is so cute and need more love Congrat on complete his concept, he is totally adorable The cat ears look great ! I might try to do that in future xD
oops double post again since this topic is quiet deserted I just received my first bjd May. But something happen, I order male one, but the dealer get my order wrong so now a boy became a girl Overall, I decided to keep her and order one more May boy, so I can make them into twins Everybody love twins !! So here meet my girl first xD I haven't done her faceup yet, but this quiet near to complete And here I will do for my boy when he home (now still my girl, cosplay her brother lol ) I name them Wind and Cloud
Thank you so much !! Last time I wait for this girl it took about 9 weeks, for this time the dealer said it will be much faster because last time Xaga company have a break on holidays xD
Aww May twins sound really, really cute. My May made it home, too, but I'm waiting to unveil her until she's had her face up done and the little mod that I wanted to have done as well Hopefully she'll be ready to present in another month or two.
Oh no! That's really unfortunate that they got the body wrong. D: Twins do sound adorable though, and less than a 9 week wait shouldn't be too bad.
Thank you so much! Your May looks adorable! Congrats! I'm sorry the dealer ordered the wrong body for you, but I love, love, LOVE your idea of twins!
I can't wait to see your little girl have her present Also curious about your mod too xD Yes thank you so much At first I also felt really sad and confuse when I opened the box, it was my first bjd so that kinda suck But after I decided to keep her and make them twins, then everything turn out to be great Thank you so much !! Can't wait to have a boy here to make those twins cloths
I own Ken and Cyrus by Zaga, they are 1/6 scale. I love the quality, nice resin, The do not pose well at all tho, I need to restring and suede them. With the long Xaga Wait times, I did a 6 mo Layaway thru Mint On Card and within a week of paying them off they were shipped.
Clotho is so cute! Thanks for sharing! I really want Micoco eventually.. Also, my 1/4 May is at the artist's house, as we speak. She's going to get a slight eye mod, to enlarge her eyes a little, and she'll get a pretty face up. Really excited to see her progress photos!
Guinan, I had Minono but she was adopted by someone else on the forum. I foundthe posing pretty good, not amazing but sturdy and reasonably flexible. Her actual torso isn't huge so some larger MSD clothes fit, but better with clothes meant for Big BB/ Baby Mini size. Disney animator is way too big.

Hello everyone :3 Would someone happen to have one of the BB dolls and a 'normal' (non-BB) doll and could take a pic of them together? I already did a quick photoshop to get a feel for the sizing, but I'd prefer to see a pic of an owner before purchasing if possible. My eyes are currently on a MIBobby and I'd love to add her to my MSD horde -^3^-
Lately I just visit Xaga doll page, and then realise that their page seem like down ? And on acbjd or mint on card, there not much update on new doll that xaga has. So I go check on legend doll, and they are have everything new Their new limited dolls look so cute omg Those horn and fantasy concept I may have to put the Sarah girl to my wishlist to make her an adult version of my girl Anyway, here my girl, she is xaga May IMG_0818 by yume kaori, on Flickr IMG_0828 by yume kaori, on Flickr
I'm planning to get May and Mizzle girls but can't decide whether to get the body ver. 1 or 2. Can someone help me? It seems to me ver. 1 is more poseable while 2 is more aesthetically pleasing but I really don't know. Reviews would help me greatly.
My finger has been hovering over the buy button for the May boy for months now but I decided to bring my Clover Doll Elvis home first as he's been on the wishlist a smidge longer and it was only fair - but I haven't fell in love with a doll as fast as I did with May since my first doll, so I'm super excited to get him ordered and bring him home. I loved seeing all your pictures and beautiful dolls
I can't speak for v.2, but the v.1 body is a really nice poser! everything stays where I put it, and it stands and sits well. I personally preferred the aesthetics of the v.1 body, so I can't really help you in that area. I did find that the sculpting and details of the v.1 body are really subtle and nice, and the only complaint that I have is that the arms seem to bend back further than they should.
