I am considering buying an Iplehouse Recast BJD doll off AliExpress and have a couple of questions. I have no BJD dolls so it's new to me. Do you usually need to string the doll when you get it? This process looks very intimidating on the YouTube videos I've watched.

Also, has anyone heard of the Shop1103200996 store? They have a lot of positive reviews but I am cautious because so often the doll pictures in an AliExpress ad are very different from the reviewer's ads for the same doll.

Here's a screenshot of the doll I am considering buying for reference.

I've had a change of plans and need to sell my 2 weekend passes to the Canmore Folk Festival. $200 each, please DM if interested.

I was definitely a little slow on the uptake when it comes to collector line Defa Lucy dolls. I think I was initially skeptical about the payment process.... It just seemed sketchy to have to send a PayPal payment to an unknown person based on their Instagram account. Boy was I ever wrong! Rudy of RND gives great service and the dolls I've got from him are beautiful. Do you have any collector line Defa Lucy dolls? Who are your favorites. Here are my 2026 girls.
