Babybell bjd brand legit?

They seem to focus on 1/12 to 1/6 pvc dolls. All I could find on them was from a Japanese retailer/dealer that sells other legit dolls and blind boxes.

The reason I'm not sure they're legit is cause the only other places to find them are sites like aliexpress, ebay, etsy, and shoppee.

I find their bodies appealing, especially at that price point and the fact that its pvc. Except Ufdoll and bonbon galaxy, I dont know many other brands that make dolls like these.

First custom bjd finally complete! (Help me name her)

Technically she's the second custom I started, but she's the first I've actually finished. I'm so happy with how she came out. I'm already planning her twin sister with the black body from the series. Unfortunately, I'm still figuring out how to get a back head for the black body.

She finally feels finished now!

I took all the useful advice from my last post, and I think she feels finished now! Shes my first finished custom and thr learning curve was worth it. I made everything except the doll itself.

Im currently planning her twin sister who is pitch black with a different colour scheme. The only challenge is finding a blank pitch black body from the doll line.

Doll body is from the Cooze devil horns BJD Blind box series.

Are pvc dolls like (ufdoll and cfdoll) on aliexpress legit?

I've seen some pvc UF dolls and CF dolls for sale on aliexpress and was wondering if they were legit. The prices aren't much different from the typical prices from other vendor website.

Does anyone have updates on the Galaxy Dreamcore BJD project?

I've been on the lookout for this release, but their twitter has been silent since February. The only info I could find was a youtuber saying in passing that it was cancelled. Any way to confirm this?

First custom feeling incomplete

So I'm almost done with my first custom, but she feels incomplete. For one, she has no face up, and I'm unsure if she needs one for the aesthetic I'm going for. Her legs and arms also feel bare. I need some inspiration please! Thanks

Wig made from ribbon

On a side note, does anyone know how to unravel ribbon easily? It was always 50/50 on whether the ribbon would snag or not. It drives me mad.

Newbie to buying with Iplehouse. Need some advice.

I'm sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask.

I am new to dolls and iplehouse so I dont know a lot.

I placed my iplehouse order on the 25th of May and made a payment with paypal. However, almost two days later, the balance still hasn't reflected on my order. I guess the process is manual so I wasn't too worried, but I know that 3 days without a down payment will cancel an order automatically. I placed a question in the support section, but haven't gotten a reply yet.

I would really like to know if I'm overreacting. As silly as it sounds I haven't been able to sleep well since I placed the order. I'm a very anxious person. If this isn't typical I would like some advice. Thank you.

I made a cheap saddle doll stand with less than a dollar worth of materials.

I just thought I would share my latest experiment. Its pretty rough but it works. Buying stands for the smaller blind box dolls gets costly for me .The worth of materials used per stand was less than a dollar.

Materials used: a balloon stand from dollar tree, a floral wire, a 1/2 inch washer, some tape, and foil.

I cut the pipe from the balloon stand and wrapped the bottom in tape so it isnt loose when inserted in the base.

I bent the floral wire into a saddle, and wrapped it in foil so it isn't loose in the pipe.

I also inserted the washer into the slot at the bottom of the base. It has some notches that keeps the washer secure once you push it in.

You could very easily substitute the materials for a better result or even just buy a stand in the first place. but I think this could be a quick solution in a pinch. I also know how the cost of stands accumulate for smaller dolls.

With the 2-3 dollars spent on materials, I can make about 3 stands. Possibly six with some more experimentation. So far I have only made for a 1/8 doll, but it should be easy to adapt for other sizes.

Not sure how I feel about this wig I made

This was my attempt at space bun locs. I think its ... fine? Not exactly what I was going for. I think it could look better with some accessories but ive spent too much time on it already. How do you think it could be better for my next attempt? 🤔

First face up. How do you keep lashes symmetrical?

I made the eyes and faceup for my electronic pet game world body. I'm surprised I could make it look this nice. The eye liner and lashes gave me the hardest time. I'm so proud of my result though. I can't wait to work on more. Now I just have to make her wig and clothes.

So my grail doll is the Iplehouse K.I.D. Esi in Ebony. However, from my research, the last time she was on sale was in 2023 - 2024. I could get her with doll choice, but the ebony skin tone is not available 🥲.

I sent an inquiry email in march, but I still haven't gotten a response. On the website she has a "coming soon", but that hasn't changed in five months.

I'm really in love with her, and I was just curious if more experienced iplehouse doll owners could help with some information?
