I can’t stand the knock-off dolls everyone buys from Amazon and floods BJD spaces with. They are so cheap and low quality, styled horrendously, with disgusting oversized lace and badly fitted clothes. It’s a parade of endless 👁️👄👁️ faced ghostly-white pvc dolls. Nobody changes their face-up or hair either, so every post is truly mind-numbingly identical.

There are actual good looking legit cheap alternatives like the Chinese fashion dolls Ye Luoli, which are what most of the bodies are taken from, but everyone just buys an endless flood of awful “EVA BJD” dolls. At this point it feels like people only buy them because the listings have “BJD” in the name and they think it’s some kind of entry ticket into the hobby. This feels further reinforced by so many posts and videos about them being titled “got my first BJD!”.

😭 Your entry ticket is just being interested in dolls in general, and you don’t need a shitty creaky brittle EVA bootleg that stinks of offgassing PVC! You can treat yourself better than that! There are playline fashion dolls on toy store shelves in English-speaking countries that are cheaper AND better, and newsflash, they are just as much of a “BJD” as your EVA doll (as in they aren’t. They’re all MJDs, and that’s completely fine!). Rainbow High is an obvious example of a playline doll that has taken some inspiration from the BJD world, but there’s also Mermaze Mermaidz and Pixlings for example. There are also wonderful sculpts on the cheaper end of BJDs like My0u Doll, Huajingd0ll, Doll Leaves, not to mention the current trend of BJD blind boxes by Chinese artists, which dealers like Kikag0ods and New Cl0ver Singing make very simple to buy. And; there’s the Asleep Eidol0n dolls that EVA BJD recasts from.

There’s no need to buy these shitty bootleg products when there are better options in price, quality, or both, in every conceivable way. Treat yourself better!

Ok I got one of the Azone 1/3 dolls offa Dollyteria and it arrived today. It's adorably curvy and certainly much much more pleasant to heft than heavier resin or abs dolls.

I think her head is probably still a bit too big for this tiny torso, but I'll let it slide. Possibly a faceup in certain cartoony styles might help quite a bit. Those legs have won me over 😍

It's so much smaller than her default.

I hate to let the original body go but I think I will attempt to sell it. It's such a unique aesthetic and I LIKE those claws but it's just too heavy for me now.

The experience with buying direct from Dollyteria was quite nice. They shipped quickly and she was packaged well. The price was around $150 plus $70 shipping via DHL (oof). But the doll is immaculate, even smells new. There was a small dusty spot and that was it. Came off with a sponge. Much better experience than buying used off an auction site 😅😅😅

On my health journey today, I learned that I have mild scoliosis (not surprising when you think about it) that may have exacerbated the 14ish months of on and off back pain I've had. Currently I am trying a stronger med, as I have ended up sobbing in pain on two separate occasions now. Gotta love that chronic illness life babee!

Just hearing the ache in the Collector's voice, that all too familiar want and need almost broke Camila's heart.

She knew why it sounded so familiar, it sounded exactly like how her little Luz used to be. Lonely, just wanting someone to pay attention to her.

That settled it, she decided. If nobody else was going to step up and give this child some affection... why not her? She's raised two kids already, she's overqualified.

(AKA when going to the demon realm with her daughter, Camila did not expect to parent the Collector but here she was.)

Hello, Anon, this is your Oldie Chinese Diaspora Anon™️. I am sorry to keep you waiting. As you’ve probably noticed, vinyl and non-resin dolls are usually not my forte. It took a while to dig up some information for you, but I hope to be able to answer your questions.

The advent of “Cheaper, affordable MJDs” didn’t come from the desire to make BJDs affordable. In fact, the technology that really elevated the production of this kind of MJDs started from what we understand as vinyl collectibles. These small figurines are made from a combination of PVC powders as well as a series of other emulsifiers, lubricators and activators (From the factory that produces them, here: http://www.dgzhonglinhb.com/news_content-859681.html ) Different companies have slightly different recipes, which would explain the different pliability of their final products. The technology was first created as a way to create memorabilia that are of limited edition and they were first considered as collectibles. They’re known internally as “Urbanvinyls” and include signed trinkets that can go for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Some examples would be KAWS, Kidrobot, Tokidoki, Bearbrick etc.

With the rise of “Made in China” soft power, the internally patriotic sentiment had fostered local artist-designed vinyl collectibles, which had eventually ballooned into the blind box craze that we see in the last 4-5 years. It also opened a door for vinyl/PVC based MJDs. I do not think they were specifically made to usurp the DD/SmD market, but since “moe sells”, a lot of the new doll companies go with the cute, anime-inspired aesthetic while the blind boxes cater to more design elements. These newly designed MJDs tend to be small, usually 1/12 and 1/6; larger ones exist, but they are rare. In all, they are created to be much more like their direct inspiration, the “blind box collectibles” than what we would usually consider to be articulated dolls. It also meant their target demographic is very different as well. The lower price point allows more people to impulse buy out of FOMO; these are things you buy on a whim instead of saving up to buy.

In this arena, Imómó is not alone in terms of aesthetic, pricing or packaging. Other companies in this group include Hüa Jüan, Tïny Fóx, UFdóll, CNDóll, Kimdóll, Pópmilk, Mónst and the upcoming YünLai/LückyDoll, etc (but not YMY – who has lost a battle with Piccodo for copying their body design recently). These dolls are created with a higher number in circulation in mind – but still limited enough to stimulate the FOMO behaviour – with shared features (sharing bodies, design elements, etc). To keep the production cost down, these dolls would be considered rather threadbare compared to BJDs. I have seen box opening videos where the floating “blind box” heads were packaged in a brown shipping box and wrapped around in clear plastic bags with no other packaging material. The “accessories” for these dolls are usually close to none as well – no or very simple COAs, basic box, air-filled tubes instead of fabric cushions, etc.A snapshot in time in online stores shows that Imómó is definitely not an outlier in the new era of MJDs: https://weibo.com/1448114577/Nj9fqfog3

https://www.dollyteria.com/product-list/58?page=1

If there’s something that really made Imómó stand out, it was the rumours that spread within Chinese doll collectors earlier in the summer of 2023 about the company not issuing legitimate receipts (usually with the intention to cook their books to pay less in taxes). They accuse Imómó of being a “Three Nothings” company (no date of manufacture, no QC and no source factory) with really awful customer service. They had registered the company as an “overseas-based” one so they would be in a different tax bracket. Some collectors also accuse the owner and their family members infiltrating doll collector groups to hype up their own products and downplay the complaints. A popular agent, SWDólls, were also implicated in helping them to not issue traceable receipts. (Details and screen grabs can be found here: https://weibo.com/7303299294/N8lHE6wGE?type=repost ) I have also heard of owners who complain about the parts not fitting well, the seamlines were wide and uneven as well as other imperfections that should’ve never passed QC, if there was a QC.

I understand that most of us, who are looking in from the outside, would wholly welcome a new era of articulated dolls that are affordable. They are a great entry point for people who want to get into BJDs or just want to collect these dolls on their own. I personally think they are great the way they are, because they are starting to populate a brand-new market for people who like dolls in general. However, the first company that most folks encounter in this group was probably Imómó. I cannot comment on the accusations made by the Chinese collectors; all I can say is, I am hoping that the other named companies start to make headway into the overseas market. We’d been waiting.

Note: The write up here didn’t include previously existing vinyl dolls such as Azóne and Obitsü or the vinyl versions of resin dolls such as Kinókó Jüice and Püyüdolls. This write-up only includes MiC, PVC-based, original, MJDs. My understanding is that they are not on par with the company in question in terms of price range, target market and country of origin. I didn’t think they’d make for a fair comparison, but your mileage may vary.

Mockup made of various iterations of pattern pieces. I'm glad I decided to make a mockup of them all together because when I was holding my paper patterns I thought I had nailed it, hole in one errr three-ish or so. But here all together I can see that I'd like the bodice to be baggier and the sleeves much bigger. I thought I HAD made the sleeves big. Where did all the volume go!

So yeah, test, change, test, change
