Since Pukipuki might be coming back I thought I'd enable some people.

I absolutly hate nendoroid doll bodies. The joints in the elbows and knees always give out. Ymy bodies are a nice cheap alternative. They have better joints and you can get them in 11cm instead of buying a nendoroid doll body and the "extender" sets.
There are some companies that make sets of blind box bjds that work pretty well too, but the posing is a bit fiddilie, though I haven't tried hot glue sueding the joints. I think the action figure type bodies are better.
Sorry your anon response unlocked my secret hyperfixation. I've been wanting to make custom Disco elysium nendoroids forever and am perpetually stuck in the planing/daydreaming stages
oh ty for the info!! tbh i wanted to make a note about nendoroid dolls being flimsy but as i have no personal experience i fully thought i was projecting just because i think they look flimsy XD good to know!
its so cool to me that there are blind box bjds for like 20-30 dollars nowadays. im deeply interested in the expanding availability and affordability of legit bjds as a bjd enjoyer myself ^w^

Lmaaaoooo I just got my first official YMY 23 Male doll, basically my first like. Non-female non-11cm bjd, and I wasn’t expecting the customizable crotch area. I probably *should* have. I don’t know why I *didn’t* expect it. But. Uh. I opened that little black baggie and there were the two different erect options and a flaccid option.
He’s very cute though. Gotta figure out a decent head for him, but I love him and his cock options.

Mermaze Mermaids factory rejects: $8 each at aliexpress.com/item/1005004823831727.html I was curious about these but waiting for them to hit second hand. $8 felt fair enough even if they end up as hair donors.
I love a glitter shaker doll like Novi Starz but $50 (45€) for a top and a jacket, a body that looks too skinny, glare-y eyes and light eyes on all the dark skinned dolls rubs me the wrong way. They’re cool but for $50 I expect swappable legs and a second outfit.
Ok where to start? Nera with the dark blue hair: she barely shed so that’s great, it’s kiwi with some bobble tinsel. She tried MC2 Camryn’s eyes which are the same eyes used on Mermaze but the eye sockets are too shallow and wide: they’ve reused their eye stock but didn’t redo the doll molds properly so that the eyes don’t bulge and glare. These eyes look fantastic on Project MC2 dolls (see review by ToyBox philosopher) and just wrong on Mermaze, I’ve ranted about inset eyes before but basically if you mess that up, you kneecap your doll line.
So I put milliput into the sockets and placed an acrylic iris in there which was actually a ton of work to get right and clean and smooth. It’s not as detailed an iris as i’d like but still SO much better than fish eyes. I removed her under eye glitter, reblushed, acetoned the sides of her brows too close to the hairline and the bottom of her lips painted too low.
Harmonique lilac got Adrienne’s eyes and I’m not sure i’ll keep them, it’s better than her pale turquoise eyes but still unfocused: the eyes need to be the main attraction. Her hair was trashed, I’m pretty sure the original has 3 lengths: 11cm twirls, 23cm main bulk and 30cm ponytails so buyer beware if you plan to restyle her. I cut mine down to 23cm.
Beyond that original photo, after i’d carefully sectioned out hair to salvage, I ended up just discovering more and more damage: hair sliced at 7mm-3cm along all three of her partings along with a bunch of rooting error knots.
That’s the risk of factory rejects. A risk I probably shouldn’t be taking with hard heads, I added ten or so knot method extra plugs to replace missing hair in front... shoulders still too fragile to do any more. She has a scar on her forehead and is light brown toned. Both should be easy to find bodies for (Nera is fakie pale pink or Cloe toned) but that neck hole will need modifying.
I’m not annoyed at paint or rooting errors, that comes with buying factory rejects. It’s part of the fun, the puzzle of repairing. ^__^
I am really put off by the decision to not invest in a better eye design and the way they’ve made rebodying these dolls a serious breakage risk between the tiny neck and very hard plastic. It seems they’re launching a spin-off line with better designed faces called Siren sisters so maybe save your money for that?
If you do want to get these dolls I recommend slicing into the back of the head above the second line of plugs and slicing out the eye sockets so you can place BJD 10mm eyes.

I just realised that when I finished the sweater I went ‘there’s no way that will fit an obitsu’ and grabbed my pukifee instead. But I never actually tried it on the obitsu? So I took the finished outfit and tried it on tiny fella (added the picture of the same outfit on pukifee for comparison):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is way to big. Not the little bit that you get when you cut the pattern with a 5 mm seam allowance and then sew with a 4 mm allowance. Just, enormous. The tights too. I’m really happy they fit my pukifee but this is a bit weird. I’m really curious how the patterns for non stretchy fabric wil turn out.
Just for shits and giggles and because I was amazed how big of a size difference there is between pukifee and obitsu:
Tumblr media
Tiny fella really is tiny.

Legit BJDs Under $100
I got inspired by the below livestream to make a list of BJDs--other than the obvious ones that get passed around--that I know that are under $100 USD (not including shipping). Please watch the video below if you’re a newbie, and not aware of BJDs like Resinsoul.
youtube
Please note, I'm NOT COMPLETELY sure of the authenticity of all the dolls I'm about to list, but I'm at least 85% sure they're legit and made by the artist selling or made with permission. (PLEASE PLEASE tell me (gently) if I’m wrong.)
Also, note I haven't bought from any of these myself yet, so read the reviews and do your own research. I'm just one of those people who really likes tiny dolls, so I did a bunch of searching. I am in no way an expert in anything.
Not all of these exactly fit the BJD guidelines of DoA, but they are at least BJD-ish with strung joints and made of resin or another kind of plastic, as far as I understand.
Btw, NO BULLYING ACCEPTED ON THIS POST. I don’t wanna hear drama here, nor do I wanna hear people shaming people for lack of money. I’m making this list as a resource for those who want cheap legit BJD dolls, so keep it kind here.
ON TO THE LIST:
- QuirkyQritters (On instagram. This artist is currently teaming up with Frappzilla to create cheap BJD options for people. They also have a number of other dolls, but these are the ones under $100.)

- ArtBjdDoll (a number of sizes available, also sells the 3d model if you want to print it yourself. Sadly not available in many colors, comes unsanded, and eyes might not be interchangeable in smaller sizes.

??? Other options: https://www.instagram.com/d.luonto/

$250+ BJD Doll 7.8cm by dreamchildrendoll (1/24 scale dolls. IMPOSSIBLY TINY, but beautifully made. More for dollhouse nerds than BJD collectors, but still worth mentioning.) https://www.etsy.com/listing/908520304/124-scale-not-painted-blank-male-bjd / https://www.instagram.com/detisnov/

been thinking about getting into bjds for a while now, like even before i got back into ag. but the price point has always been a bit of a barrier. today in procrastinating i went and filled up my cart with the components for a doll as an experiment to get a more fixed price of what to expect.
Tumblr media
this is for an 11cm/ 4 inch obitsu doll with a coco head on parabox. i made my OC Dolly! i wanted a larger body for her-- more like 27cm/ 11 inches, but the other ones i looked at were out of stock and thus excluded from the experiment. its around the same price still.

Finally did the faceup on my teeny tiny 11cm bjd by ArtBJDDoll/Yaroslav Nekrasov. It was not fun trying to paint a face the size of my fingernail, but I managed to get something passable done in the end. I also made the teeny wig, and even though I’m terrible at wigs at least. Did manage to get something done. Have no idea what I’m going to do for clothes for this doll since even the tiniest clothes I have on hand are too big - I’m starting to fear I’ll have to make something myself, which I imagine will not be easy.
This doll is intended for a dollhouse I’m working on, and I’m looking forward to getting all the pieces in place so I can get lots of PCs of this doll in there.

I am so happy with how these PJs turned out!  I made them using DGRequiem patterns for tiny BJDs, which I had already scaled down for Obitsu 11cms, then I had to adjust them even smaller to fit the Cu-Poche body.  This is my first full outfit for a Cu-Poche  (I've sewn for the faceplates I've put on Obitsu bodies, but all of my C-P bodied ones have either plastic/molded on outfits, or outfits I bought that were made for them).  Since she has a sleepy face plate, I thought some PJs would look cute on her ^_^

Getting rid of two beach wagon full of books doesn't mean I replace them with dolls.
Now to try and explain some of my reasoning in to breaking the generational curse of hoarding and turning it in to lucky finds- I politely refuse things I don't need or can't use, they find themselves getting to people who do, I find something I do want or need at a reasonable price. When I actively sort and organize and either use something that's been sitting around or have something like the book purge I find $20 Volks MDDs and $200 Unoa Lusis.
Or should I just say the only doll in this house who ever changes his hands is my Felix Doll Brownie and even he doesn't use them much.
Tumblr media
Hello. I'm Alasdair. For the longest time we thought we were done with 'on topic for DOA' dollies, except for tinies because they never count, then we found that MDD, and now the Unoas.
If our caretaker didn't have to keep buying car parts she could have bought a Unoa when they first came out. Instead she had to take a lot of Ignoritall and Repressitall. Still she felt quite happy with her BJD family. Eventually fortunes changed and we are on the road of shedding the toxicity.
The story with the Volks Mini Dollfie Dream is our caretaker saw her at a junk store and was going to pay whatever price they wanted. The Unoa Chibi was found at a doll show with the thought of finally getting a Unoa. Didn't know that Chibis existed and thought the whole line was the same size and could switch faces. Now with the Lusis it was another case of someone not quite knowing what they had, the doll being listed with it's lesser known factory name, and the feeling of being driven to find it.
Now if we can just keep it face plates we don't have for either Unoa, more Dollkot fairies because they're adorable, 11cm tinies that never count, and I was going to say one of those spiders but we have plushie Lucas.
And seriously, I have so many 1/6 dolls and two houses for them I want to set up so bad but there isn't room in the current home and the walk thru for the new one has been pushed back to October. I really want to assemble everyone in one place and do a spark joy and enjoy what I have.

Psssst do you happen to have any tips or beginners links for newbies who are interested in getting in to the BJD hobby? 👀
*SOFT SCREECH* ALICE COME DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE WITH ME... /CLAMBERS FOR
This is a very slap-dash tips post, because a full fledged crash-course would take me much longer than a day to assemble. I think this could get someone started, but I can always answer specific questions if you have them in the future. ❤️
BJD 101: For a rundown of definitions, terminology, and origins of the hobby, I highly recommend checking out the Wikipedia article. (Warning for old vaguely spooky doll photos) I honestly wish I just read this when I got started, haha. It’s not everything, but it’s definitely a start.
Study! Read as much as you possibly can!! Especially terminology and maintenance. I highly recommend watching a bunch of unboxing and review videos- it might seem silly, but they're really helpful to get an idea of scale, how they function/pose, and how they look and feel when handled by a human. I also recommend trying to find owner photos of dolls you’re interested in, because sometimes the store photos are limited!
Join a community! Consider joining a forum like den of angels or a facebook bjd group like BJD Addicts! Exposure to the hobby is really helpful and you learn way faster. It’s fine if you’re shy, you don’t have to interact if you don’t want to- I like lurking DoA for the valuable tutorials and threads on doll brands I'm interested in. Tip: You can view some of DoA’s threads without an account by searching "[subject/doll of choice] den of angels" in google, but i got tired of that pretty fast. Signing up takes a few weeks to get approved but it's worth it for all the knowledge, even old archived stuff.
Window-shop until you drop!! I think the number one regret in the hobby is 'too many dolls, not enough time to love any of them'. So I HIGHLY recommend making wish-lists. These help a lot with avoiding impulse purchases and buyer’s remorse. There are a loooot of dolls out there, so if you've seen a huge majority of them, you'll be more picky.
For me, wishlists include both dream/grail dolls, tentative desires i’m not sure about but want to remember the name of, dolls I could never afford but feel validated writing down somewhere, and also cataloging info- measurements, wig/eye/shoe sizes, resin colors, price, current availability, dealer websites, etc. it becomes such a godsend when you shop for them. you’ll thank me later!!
I spent a lot of time browsing dealer websites like Alice's Collections, Legenddoll, Denver Doll, DOLK Station, etc- I linked some of those here. This is to see what my tastes are. Not EVERY doll company will go through all or any dealers, but it’s a good start!
If you’re the social type, going to conventions or local bjd meetups can help with getting an idea of your preferences! I accidentally walked by one at sakuracon last year and got to hold an MSD and an 11cm tiny, and that was REALLY helpful for me to realize I DID like those sizes. If other doll owners will let you hold theirs, I totally recommend it! (Always ask first, of course! Not everyone is comfortable with it!)
Go!! Slow!!! if you think you're taking it easy, go even slower. i'm so serious. it's so easy to get dazzled, over-eager, or totally overwhelmed by this hobby. especially if you have a habit of hyper focus/special interest tenancies like i do. 
Patience is a virtue anyway: If you’re not buying second-hand or in-stock dolls, you will be waiting a while for your doll. Anywhere from a few months to a year, depending on the company and how backlogged they may be at any given point. Dolls are usually pre-order and take time to be made.
Some people like to just buy sculpts and let a character ‘come to them’, which is absolutely valid so if you wanna just go on a feeling that’s great!! i totally can’t afford that route most of the time, so I spend a lot of time mood-boarding for my potential dolls using pinterest and my own art to see just how in love with an idea i am and highly recommend it. I’ll ramble about this in another post soon.
Budget! They are not very cheap like 10-20$ fashion dolls at wal-mart, so those new to the hobby may be shocked.This hobby is an investment and an indulgence/luxury, as with most Nice Things. But don’t be discouraged! There are affordable dolls out there, a lot of Dealer websites offer layaway plans, and the second-hand market is always circulating things!
Here is a DoA list of dolls that are under 300$. 
Note: Size of dolls often scale with price, so the bigger it is, the more expensive (and HEAVY) it will be. Some videos on BJD sizing here and here, but Flickr is crawling with height comparisons as well.
Craft or Not To Craft: Are you team 'i'm gonna sew/craft stuff/do wigs/eyes/faceups for my doll' or team 'i'm gonna buy clothes/props/faceups/wigs/etc from other artists!'? I know most people end up being a little bit of both, but these things both cost time or money (or both) so you wanna think about that in the overall price when you're considering a doll. It seems intimidating, but really, it’s the responsible thing to do. I’d rather plan for it than have a naked sad doll to feel bad about. Some personal recommendations below helped me get started:
Wigs: Monique Gold Collection wigs are affordable in the 20 dollar range, and have incredibly soft fiber! (You can find a lot of these available through ebay sellers as well)
Eyes: Lemonjellyshoppe and CandyKittenEmporium have some incredible eyes and also do custom orders!
Sewing Patterns: DGRequim on etsy and SproutyDoll have both been very nice to use and easy understand and modify to fit your doll!
When you’re savvy on the sizing of your dolls and if you’re comfy with secondhand sales, Facebook groups like BJD Addicts Sales & Commissions, BJD Lovers Sales, and BJD Adoption has a lot of people selling BJDs and accessories, oftentimes discounted for de-stashing or collection overhauls!
In addition to the other dealer sites I linked before, Dollmore (which also has an ebay shop) has a lot of options on everything! 
Rec@sts and the community- This is a veeery hot button topic, but you’ll probably see a lot of it the more you get into the hobby. I don’t want to talk about it a lot because of the negativity it attracts, but to sum it up: BJDs are essentially commissioned art pieces. They are hand sculpted by an artist or small group of artists, and then cast in resin and refined and strung by hand. There are people that will cast copies of them and sell them for a very cheap profit. To put it simply, it’s theft, and it effects the livelihood of people that make a living of their art. A lot of companies stop making dolls because they can’t compete anymore. Most official doll/art related conventions (LDoll, Resin Rose, etc) ban rec@sted dolls, as well as DoA and several of the facebook groups. Be sure to read all the rules of groups/forums you join them.
A lot of people come into this hobby unaware of this and buy a bootleg doll on sites like Ebay or Aliexpress, and then get turned away from the community without understanding why. There are understandable circumstances that cause someone to end up with a bootleg doll, but it’s also important to respect the artists and creators that share their art with the public.
On that note: Sometimes people will resell 2nd hand dolls as legit when they are not. Be careful about who you buy second-hand dolls from. Also, keeping certificates of authenticity (CoAs), receipts, and original packaging is must if you ever plan to resell your doll!
I... think that’s everything major I can think of... at least enough to get someone started? I know a lot of it is a bit vague, but if you wanted my opinion on a certain brand or size of doll or budgeting tips if money is tight, I’d be happy to give my personal preferences on that separately!! But otherwise, good luck and happy treasure hunting! ヾ(^-^)ノ

We’re at the end of November and I have two new hobbies to try. But since this is the beginning of what you might know of me, let me introduce myself.
You can call me Jack. It’s not my real name because I want to be somewhat anonymous to the rest of my life’s presence. You can also call me by any pronouns because I honestly don’t care. I know what I am and that’s enough.
I started writing long stories when I was 13. When I was 15 I began drawing traditionally and in the following year began digital art. I started crocheting and then knitting some time in high school. And for a while I didn’t learn more. In the past year or two, however, I have gone nuts. I tried embroidery, cross-stitch, book binding. sewing actual wearable garments, leather working and scale-maille, and in theory I know how to do so many more things I just haven’t gotten my hands on, yet.
But I mentioned two things I’m going to learn soon. And they might be considered “odd” by some. Those that know me fairly well see it as just another step in my mission to learn everything. These two are insect (butterfly) pinning and ball-jointed dolls.
One of those is straight forward. Take some insects and pin them for display. I have always been interested but I never realized I could do that myself until Game Grumps: Power Hour.... I want to create a collection of butterflies from Nintendo’s Animal Crossings.
The other is very broad where I’m just telling you about a sort of collection hobby. But it’s got a lot of creative elements.
Now, I think they’re beautiful. These elegant things that people breathe life into. And I want in. I do so many creative things and I want to bring my characters from years ago into a physical form. Of course, I’m not one to dump a bunch of money into something I haven’t tried yet. My max is like $50. But anyone that knows about BJDs will know they are... expensive. So I’m starting small. Very small.
I got an Obitsu 11cm body which is a very “chibi” type. That’s fine. It’s not terribly expensive and while it’s incredibly small and I can’t find much more than the anime character heads put onto the bodies, I want to start small. If I get into this, I can have the tiny chibi version and then larger BJDs. As for the heads, I’m stuck. 2,000 yen is kind of a lot for shipping a few things. So I want to buy a lot to make up for the solid shipping cost but the place I want to buy from is out of stock for a lot.
Anyways, I’m done with my ramblings for now. Thanks for reading.

@acaciacantrip here are some pictures of an actual obitsu in the clothes. Spoiler alert: they are a little bit big.

All the clothes I’ve made so far from the obitsu pattern books. I took pictures of my pukifee in them, but I’ve been neglecting tiny fella so it’s time he gets to try them. Both are present for size comparison.
The pink leggings are 5 mm longer than the original pattern, the socks are a bit shorter due to lack of materials.

The thights are the best fit. They are a tiny bit big but nog annoyingly so. They are also the only item that is slightly too small on Sakiko. The other thights I made fit her better (the black and purple striped ones), they are made from material that has more stretch. The leggings are way to long (my fault) and too wide (the patterns fault). The socks are a bit bulky. That could be fabric choice, but they really are a bit to big too. And as mentioned they should have been even longer.

The sweater is way too big. Tiny fella practically drowns in it. Like the pink/purple sweater we can try blaming the stretchy fabric, but they actually suggest cutting up socks for this pattern in the book. The leggings are, again, too big.
You’d probably have to copy the patterns slightly smaller to make them work for obitsu (I checked and all the measurements and grids in the pictures are actual size so it’s not my book that’s too big). Or maybe yours likes wearing oversized/comfy clothes.
I’ll try some of the non stretch patterns too, maybe they are a closer fit.
