- from Astro Boy Diverse Life

- by Pop Mart

What a stunning little figure. This Astro Boy toy from Pop Mart wasn't commercially released in my country (due to licensing agreements) so I was very lucky to find a few blind boxes locally.

I love the variations in textures and paint finish, it really evokes the fabric on metal look - and the big glossy boots. And great gesture sculpting.

It's a beautifully unique toy of a classic pop culture icon.

I have a handful of tigers and sale items left in my shop!! Get them before the shop closes on Wednesday, December 4th!

(And I want you to know that the lovebirds have magnets in their beaks and they kiss!! They are probably the product with the widest chasm between how excited I was about them and how well they sold 🥲 maybe it’s just nobody knows they actually smooch and are in love)

Over the past few months I’ve been OBSESSED with BJD and doll customizations and I finally did one last night!!

This is my Penny’s Box custom of Red Fox, the Last picture above was the before, and I am absolutely in love with her ahhh she is SERVING!! I’m really proud of it ahh 🥺🦊🍂

Some progress pics below! I also unstrung her to do some body blushing, I also edited her outfit to suit her new colour palette a little more! (Her original socks were also bright orange but I found these brown ones on kikagoods and liked them way more!!)

A not-so-small update: because I have no self-control, I got carried away with my latest blind box BJD haul again. (my doll army is ever growing, and soon I will overtake the world)

First, I made another attempt at the Puppet Kingdom blinds. I was hoping to get one of the boys, but instead I wound up with Star Wolf and a double of Cat. Whoops. (Next time I should just get the boy dolls pre-opened.)

Next, I've been wanting to get Bonnie the Journey of the Streets for ages. I now own at least four skateboarder dolls, haha. I did have to give the black clothes a makeshift vinegar bath to minimize future staining.

Another series I've been wanting to get was Teennar Campus Idol, since I wanted more mix-and-match street fashion. A keen eye would notice they reuse a lot of pieces from the Student's Club series, which I personally don't mind. I love all the cute details like the leg warmers and metal charms.

Due to all the tiny accessories, the outfits were even fiddlier to put on than usual. Old School Chacha had a headband that kept falling off (strangely the head magnets here were weaker than usual) and a mystery pleather bracelet that came apart. It's kinda funny that even the official Kikagoods unboxing video gave up putting it on.

Lastly we have Nagi Cub Study Tour, which has mechanical joints rather than strung ones. I pretty much fell in love with Pink Cat at first sight and just had to get her, though all the printed-on detail on her outfit was a bit underwhelming. Like Campus Idol, this series also had a nonzero quantity of tiny leather belts.

On an unrelated note, blind box collecting in general has given me a greater appreciation for those little character collectible cards. It's maddening that companies never stick to a standard card size, but they're still fun to flick though. Maybe I should consider getting an album for them or something.

Anya Forger - Surpised

- from Spy x Family First Sight

- by Pop Mart

Another licensed figure from Pop Mart, but a little more in their typical wheelhouse. Interpretive to a degree. But the sculpting here is beyond what I'd ever expect for a sub-$20 blind box. Texture on the fabric folds and gold filigree, a very expressive gesture, and great sense of motion to the hair.

And it's a chunky little toy. That satisfying heft you get from the Pop Mart house style. You could do so much worse for your $16 in general - but I think this might be one of the nicer Spy x Family figures I've seen. And it's a fraction of the price of some larger fare!
