China JC has both huge Lavender and Dexter. But Lavender prices are much higher.

I am so tempted to get it but it’s too expensive at this moment. Prices might drop.

Dexter at once as 919¥

There was Little Lavender drop in China JC too about 1 week ago. That’s gone now. But I see many are picking that up from China stockist. I believe there might be little lavenders coming to us too.

Did you see the blue rim around her eyes? I absolutely love her!

The OCD in me! They must come in pairs!

Here's how I imagine their pairings:
- Zodihop and Lazulia - Both out of this world. One’s from outer space and the other from Lalaland.
- Viola and Tulip - A perfect blend of pink and purple hues.
- Thistlepop and Blushkin - The only Mandarin-speaking buns in town.
- Nimbus and Juniper - Twins, with one being the obvious favourite one.
- Azure and Hopscone - A dreamy and artistic duo.
- White and Silver Blossoms - Opposites do attract!
- Woodlands and Hoppleston - A pair that jumps straight out from the bush!
- ⁠Puddleseas - Identical - No way to tell them apart!
- ⁠Rosa and Luna - The huge snuggle duo that's impossible to resist!
- ⁠Bart and Leola- Two cousins who are as different as night and day!
- ⁠Medium Barts - Always rocking the most perfect and comfy outerwear.

Poor Pine is still waiting for his mate…

I went overboard and got overly excited when I discovered that I could order directly from China JC. I found Juniper, Lazulia and the dragons there, including Dexter Huge, Malachy, and even Snow! I didn’t even mind the consolidation shipping fees — I was happy to pay them.

However, out of my four orders, I received two items that were not acceptable. The same old quality issues surfaced again. Snow has a croaked head. I was especially upset with the Lazulia bunny. The first bunny arrived gorgeous, but the second bunny — with the same batch code and from a later shipment — looked like a complete knockoff. I don’t even need to put them side by side to realise how different the quality was! My first look of the bunny shocked me.

I gave feedback to JC China, but I was told that returns are only possible/ allowed within China. Any returns from outside China would have to be borne by consumers like myself, which makes no economic sense.

This essentially means that whatever I order from JC China comes with no real restitution if consumers are unhappy with the products. I’m stuck with whatever they send. So buying from JC takes faith and it feels like a bit of a lottery with the hope that I score a good one!

On balance, I’m happy with the Junipers I’ve received. Both have adorable faces, and I don’t think I could ever part with either of them. Their fur is beautifully aligned. The other items also arrived in the expected condition, and I’m happy with that. Exceptions with snow dragon. I refuse to accept it’s normal and unique to have a croaked head!

The OCD in me believe they must come in pairs!
All in line awaiting their arrival.
Who do you think would come?

Love her interesting texture!

Finally found my Juniper and Lazulia! Direct from China official JC via Tao Bao.
Ordered on 1st May and received on 9th May.
Did the sums. Prices after shipping and taxes worked out to around £55 for Laz and £52 for Juniper. A bit of premium for what I cannot get locally or directly from UK/Euro JC. Still cheaper compared to what pickers/ resellers quoted me!

They are so cute and soft! Love how adorable Juniper is!

Indeed, every piece from China has Shang tags!

When will this drop in UK? And where’s Willow and Sacha???? When?

Trust, Viola is coming!

She’s such a diva!

My Luz came with a strange shampoo scent so I’m trying coffee as a natural deodoriser—fingers crossed it works!
This is the only jelly that smells weird…any one have such experiences? JC won’t consider such feedback right?

I was checking out all the resellers and wonder how they managed to get the items that are always oos on UK/US JC and I think I have the answer now!
Sorry if I’m wrong but I feel JC is channelling their inventories to the China market!

Checked out China JC and I am amazed I could locate Juniper, Snow, Luzulia (both bun and dragon) and even Dexter Huge! There’s others like Rosa Luxe in huge, Sacha snow tiger etc etc. I see other dragons like Rose, and Malachy. What is even more amazing is they sell them in bundles with the gift box.

I am so done with UK JC (I cannot be waiting and jumping at notifications) and I have decided to pay a bit more to get from China JC for some of the items that are always oos.

I would prefer to purchase direct from JC than to get from resellers.

For those who do not speak Chinese, maybe you can get your Chinese speaking friends to help you purchase via Tao Bao (there’s only 1 official channel) which I will share the screen shot.

China JC follows the 5 tiers of Purks too. And they give lots more freebies like the pins, stickers etc.
Do not ever buy from other random JC sellers who claim to sell authentic ones. They are 99% not authentic.

The pricing will be super telling. After shipping, JC from China cost more than what you pay for in UK but still cheaper than what scalpers charge u!

Once I received my first order (mid May) I will share!

Interestingly, the number of items that have been purchased will be reflected. Dexter Huge is not the most popular dragon in China. Of all the items, the most popular are the bart bears followed by the buns.

Some safari animals that many are looking for are not even popular in China. Like the lion.

I see all the new releases which are not open for purchase yet. But the date of purchase is stated clearly and there are freebies that will come with the purchase.

Thanks to this subreddit, I managed to get Snow and Luz from 🇩🇪 JC. Appreciate the “in stock now” message. Though this is really a hit or miss moment.

Both are just gorgeous. Some differences between the two. Luz’s belly feels more full than Snow.

I’m sensitive to smell and there’s a smell from Luz that smells like shampoo or some “fragrance” that I don’t really like. Not sure if that’s common with JCs.

Was doomscrolling and stumbled upon Big Luna at a local stockist—what an unbelievable find! I still can’t seem to find Willow, Rosa, or Scarlet anywhere, so I’m extra glad to have Luna now.
