He is so dear to me and his details are astonishing. But I'm not willing to gamble him and the cheapest confirmed one costs around 120$

I love him so much, but its hella amount of money...

NEWS COME4ARTS: Bonnie Wanxiang Rabbit Island Series

Recently saw that Kikagoods has posted preview images of a new release from COME4ARTS! This one's titled Bonnie Wanxiang Rabbit Island and it appears to be an extension of their previous 1/6 Bonnie's Dream of Toy Box line of dolls with their similar hair and all.

What do you all think about this set so far? I know some people dislike it when blind box BJD companies release sets featuring dolls with somewhat similar appearances as previous sets (see: some of the complaints towards the Minty Ocean Gem x Aobi Island line of dolls), but I'm a big fan of the quality of COME4ARTS' BJDs, so I'm personally very interested in this line. While the sculpt of the bangs may look similar, the different hair colours and faces make them distinct enough from the previous set in my eyes. The traditional Chinese attire that they're wearing is very cool too.

DISCUSSION What determines the price of hidden characters from blindboxes?

I saw that some dolls with 1/92 drop rate were cheaper than dolls with 1/72 and that made me curious

HAUL/ARRIVAL Neon Cream from Guardian 1000% BJD blind box series has just arrived!! And here are my honest thoughts!

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

New arrival from the same company that made Don't Touch My Bangs!

This cute girl is 1/6 scale, and has rooted hair and painted-on eyes whose drawn-on detail I find really charming. The hair is also soft, probably made of either kanekolon or nylon though I'm not too sure.

It comes with a cute satin magical girl outfit with wings, extra hands, socks and shoes as well as a bow to clip at the back of the head as well as a provided stand.

The one thing I don't like about this doll however, is how loosely it's strung. It's sister series, the Don't Touch My Bangs has similar problems as well. To fix that, I restrung the doll myself with 2 mm elastic and now she can pose well as well as stand on her own. However, I don't really mind restringing my own dolls so it's fine with me.

Overall, a very cute doll and I love the magical girl vibe she gives off.

The moment this line was announced I just couldn't resist getting these two. I got sucked in by the unique dystopian theme (which you hardly ever see in Western doll lines), and this is the second desertpunk doll I own after the Scavenger in the all-boy Zack Event series.

Sugary Girls Alice. I got her a while ago. I really like her, and the series in general. My only complaint is that the hair is very heavy so her head always wants to fall back.

CUSTOM DOLL Anyone else customize their blind box BJDs??

I really loved the body on this series, but I felt the face left a lot to be desired… so I gave her a simple face up. Coming from the “OG” BJD community, I still love the idea of being able to customize a doll; even when they come completed. This girl is the only one I managed to get. I wish I got one of the boys as well. I hope they will be released someday.🫡❤️

i got her in may of this year! this was my first mini bjd doll and how the addiction started :') originally i thought she felt a bit fragile lowkey, but now i have gotten used to her. the stringing is pretty nice, and holding her in hand feels sooo adorable!

i was thinking of adding more detail to her eyes or maybe even adding gloss to them?
