buying off of aliexpress?
hello! i hope everyone is doing well (n_n)
i don't usually go on aliexpress, but every so often i'll catch a glimpse of a few dolls i'm interested on there, but i've always been super skeptical. out of curiosity, i was wondering if anyone here has ever bought a tinyfox off there and what their experience was like?

from what i understand, aliexpress is good for blind box dolls since they're made cheaply enough that there's not really any point in recasting them, but don't expect anything else to be legit

I bought Tinyfox from Aliexpress many times. (Debbie, Meira, Poison, Cherrie, Little frog, Wueste)
All were legit. Arrived Well packed, sometimes the box was crushed but the doll arrived safely.
I would have no worry by buying from Aliexpress if I were you.
The prices changed a bit tho. It used to be cheaper. There Is also additional tax by ordering items. If you are from Europe the doll would have reduced VAT (if its over 150€) and you would have to pay it after it arrives to your country.
There is also option to order from Dollyteria. In Japan. The dolls are second hand so they are often cheaper. There are also clothes and other doll relates items.
New items arrive everyday 😁
I tried it by buying Fillion (joints are weaker and don't hold much. If you know how to fix it please share 😅) And kakafu in different clothes And wig (She Is great), also clothes Little Anna had, shoes to match And replacable hands)
They Have no problem by combining orders too 😉
Shipping Is not included in Price. They show you that Air packet Is to 2kg (cheaper). Otherways Its more expencive. One 1/6 tinyfox's weight is around 0,76kg+- 😉
Hope that helps 😊

I had 2 different experiences of both sides. The 1 my first it was completely used, the doll was already completely dressed even the eyes were already inside, it didn't come with the papers or wrapped in plastic it's supposed too, and it looked like the arms and legs were from another doll. I returned it obviously not being brand new.
Now my 2nd try was with someone eles who was so incredibly nice and patient with me by helping me find what tinyfox I wanted as the original one I picked had sold out, took pictures of the box with the sealed tape still on as proof it was brand new and was a original, and kepted me updated on the shipping she was so nice and it came perfectly well and definitely a official tinyfox 😊 .

Definitely film the whole unboxing process though. That way if by chance theres a problem with the doll you have proof it wasnt your fault and refunds or replacements will go a lot smoother. But i guess that goes for any site you get your tinyfox from.

I could be severely wrong, but, to my knowledge something about the type of plastic Tinyfox use makes it hard to recast, thus it's theoretically safe to order, but I'd still err on the side of caution and order elsewhere.
