We always talk about how underwhelming playline boy dolls are compared to the girls... what are examples of boy dolls done well?

Note that this is strictly referring to playline/mass market dolls aimed at regular consumers, so no limited-edition collector dolls (sorry Valentine and Spelldon) and no niche lines (sorry Integrity Toys and resin BJDs).

One of the common issues with boy dolls is how bland men's fashion is in general, which limits your options in how to keep them as attention-grabbing as female dolls. The problem is it's easier to name examples of boy dolls doing it wrong and not what they're actually doing right. The one common shortcut I've seen is going ham on the color, like with Rainbow/Shadow High or that one Barbie Extra hawaiian shirt Ken.

I can't explain how, but some MGA doll lines like the OG Bratz and LOL OMG boys feel more... "substantial" than their Barbie/Monster High counterparts. Maybe it's down to details like more realistic clothing construction and actual jewelry/accessories? Or just more daring color choices in general? (Though personally I think G3 Clawd is pretty good compared to some LOL OMGs.)

While they're more inconsistent across the board, Asian blind box BJDs found an approach to boy dolls I'm surprised isn't more common: anime aesthetics. Between most shonen series and games like Genshin Impact, there are more than enough elaborate boy looks that'd probably translate well into doll form. Plus at least one blind box BJD series isn't afraid to dress boys in more androgynous looks, though for obvious reasons this'll never sell in the US.

Thoughts? What's your go-to example of a well-executed boy doll?

How can so many people have this $40 doll “in their carts” at this ridiculous price? 🤔

I guess these Jakks dolls are more popular than I expected…

Amazon shipping is so frustrating as a doll collector 😔 (see below for more explanation)

I'm Canadian so I have limited access to find certain dolls, I've only seen Suki on Amazon. She came in a paper bag with damage to her box which I was unfortunately expecting but honestly it's less broken than others I've gotten. But then I noticed what looks like moisture inside of her box as well!

I had wanted to leave her in box but now I'm wondering if I should open her and dry her off?

u/Expert_Ad_7187 — 11 days ago

Found them for $20 each at Walmart

They were on the top shelf so I had to reach. I thought they planned on charging 30-40 for them though?

Não curti ?

Sou uma colecionadora recente , e como tais bonecas dentro do que coleciono, não vendem ao vivo na minha cidade . Todas foram pedidas ou doadas de presente, venda on-line . E sempre me surpreendia achando mais lindas e lindos ao vivo. Estava sendo meses inteiros de admiração! . Mas me veio o baque da primeira compra que não gostei ao vivo : e não sei o que fazer - não existe comprador de coleções na minha cidade - tô até com um vazio dentro do meu coração . Sei que vocês devem ter ideias incríveis de como resolver essas situações, mas é tão raro ter KEN e não queria ter sido uma compra em vão . Será que mais alguém se incomodou com ele ?

A unicorn, a pegasus and an alicorn

...walk into a bar. Okay maybe not, but at least they're finally finished! This was a project I started all the way back in November 2024, so it's been a while and I have definitely learned a couple of things along the way.

This was a project that took me quite a bit out of my comfort zone requiring power tools, glue, paint and sculpting, none of which I'm particularly good at. There are lots of imperfections but overall I'm quite happy with them. They'll eventually get personalized outfits that cover my not so great sculpting, but I have some other projects I want to work on first. For now they'll just have to rock the silver tops.

u/FOMODollCollector I promised you I'd poke you when I had an update on these girls. It's been 3 months according to Reddit, proving once again that I'm the world's slowest crafter 😂

Miss Kitty

✨✨ The Important Stuff ✨✨

Jakks Pacific Catwoman doll. 

✨✨ My Nonsense ✨✨

Like many former little gay boys my age, my obsession with Catwoman began with Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns. I typically only go for Barbie type fashion dolls, but when I saw they incorporated the white stitching into this costume, I decided to order her to get a closer look. 

I absolutely adore her!

First of all, she has heterochromia!!
💙💛 

Her hair is beautiful, maybe nylon, I'm not sure. The fashions are well constructed and quality fabrics. 

And her accessories are purr-fection. (I'm very sorry.) A cat shaped bag with a pearl handle that matches her pearl bracelet. Calf length boots with painted buckle and stitching details. 

Her mask attaches with arms like glasses, and the ears are on a headband that attaches to those arms, making it all one piece. 

Sadly, that makes the mask sit skewed on her face, so I snipped the contact points to divide it into separate pieces. Now everything sits much better, and you wouldn't know it's altered to look at it. 

I'm so happy I decided to pick her up because I'm absolutely in love.

u/plots02 — 11 days ago

made pants for Mirror Mi Blaze

I made pants for Blaze out of an old tshirt of mine. I used this pattern and attached the chains from her original skirt plus some safety pins for decoration.

She seems a lot happier! I'm sure a lot of Blazes like their skirt but mine seems to feel comfier in pants.

Frankie Stein arrived today! I couldn't be happier with her. 😭💖

Hehe I started my doll collection 2 weeks ago. I absolutely needed to add Frankie to my collection. I love their character and style ☺️ I'm completely in love with my Frankie, my "mad scientist" 🤭🌿🔥

They are doll #4 and a great one to take a pause in my doll collecting hunt 😭💜
