Bought a set for my girls. I've honestly had them in my cart for awhile, but finally went through with it ❤️

Posting this again because Reddit did not save my pictures...

I got her from Oueneifs. She's my first ever non-blindbox BJD. She's just so pretty, I can't stop taking photos of her. The only thing I struggle with is her wig. Not sure if it is a bit too large or if the bangs are just too long but I don't dare cutting them.

My beautiful Oueneifs Bertha has arrived (I’m thinking of changing that name). I just had to wait until the weekend for her to arrive from Miami.

Luckily, Shugo Fairies always come in a blister pack inside the box, so the little dent on the bottom of the box didn’t cause any problems. She came with extra feet for flat shoes. That’s brilliant

She arrived with the joints set to the perfect tension; I haven’t had to adjust a thing. When I was told here that I might have to adjust the tension of the elastic bands, I started looking for videos. It didn’t look too complicated, but I still felt a bit unsure about doing it – it’s a good thing I’ve had to do it for now.

The only tricky bit I found was putting the wig on; I looked for videos and only found one, but their method didn’t work for me. I tried several times to put the wig on until I finally managed it. Another thing was the skirt strap – I wanted to attach the buckle pin, but the strap doesn’t have a hole in it, so I had to make one with a large needle. It took two attempts; luckily, on the first try I didn’t push the needle in too hard, so it’s barely noticeable.

Anyway, now it’s time to enjoy her – she’s beautiful, I can’t stop looking at her. Here’s a quick, casual photo I took just to show you all – a few days ago I was making a little display stand for her, which you can see in the background. My room’s a bit dark, but I positioned the table so that light comes in from a window and from the doorway, and I also had to switch on the room light.

I don’t think I’ve left anything out, but if I have, I’ll let you know later. I hope you like the photo.

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.

Sometimes I take off for a destination and things go as planned. But life has insisted on a plan B sometimes plan C. I guess, I am saying don’t take yourself too serious 🙈💔👈🏿

I'm really happy with how my custom hat came out I made with scrap fabric and a hot glue gun ! I bought this base doll off AliExpress and I saw so much potential and decided to try and make her more of an ocean theme. I switched out her wig ,eyes, and made my own custom hat . I'm proud of my work just wanting to share her with you all. The last picture is how the doll came to me.

So as title says I tried body blushing for the first time and my aim was to achieve realistic look as possible. I used liquitex varnish and I don't think it looks bad first the first time. I'd love to get feedback and any advice. I also added compressions with unpainted version. This was just for test and I thought I can body blush whole doll if it looks good. Should I body blush whole doll or keep practising? Thank you!

Bought a 3D printed rabbit doll of etsy and I really like her. Shes just what I wanted for my character for DnD. I have to do the face but that can come a bit later. My only slight gripe is that the magnets holding the back of the head on arent the strongest. But I can work around that.
