2ha Plushie Review and Preorder Speculation

I'll be judging all the 2ha plushies that I am aware of by several different metrics: Face, Body (referring to shape and design of nipples/symbols), Clothes, Overall Aesthetic and Availability (as of 3/10/2024) My judgements in these other than availability will of course be subjective and graded along my own tastes and preferences, listed in no particular order:

Omodoki 0.5 20CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾🐾 (body embroidery unknown) Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (Zero paws out of five)

Starting off with my white whale, my unattainable first love, beloved moonlight dazzling beauty and perfection...

Omodoki 20cm Taxian-Jun plushie in his full glory, with husky ears and his mian guan and elegant shoulder pads and most importantly (in my heart) golden haitang pin from his initial manhua design. His impetuous and insouciantly fanged childish expression is charming and precious, wielding the immense and unavoidable charisma of the emperor of the two realms, he is truly perfect in all ways.

I mean no offense to the omodoki 20cm Chu Wanning that is his counterpart, the headpiece, hair and clothes are all good, face shape is also good, but in my heart I want to see CWN with golden eyes, so my interest is diminished.

Unfortunately, demand for these is high and supply is low. I have searched many sites in states of unattractive desperation- just about every permutation of carousell, taobao, mercari (US and japan), reddit, discord servers, individually messaging danmei merch sellers..... I have suffered buying him on aliexpress only to be told that he was given a wrong address... and would be Destroyed by the post office. In a fit of rage and tears I went to the post office at my soonest possible hour only to find the seller had sent an empty slip of plastic (scam). This post is also a call for help. If you own him I will spend many dollars and also my soul to possess dear precious sweet Taxian-Jun. I will write you anything you want, draw anything you want, give up my dignity to see him in person with my own eyes 🙇

As of right now, if you want to own these plushies, give up all hope and dream for a reprint.

Omodoki Wedding 20CM

(not pictured- CWN's wedding veil)

Similar to the 0.5 dolls, the wedding dolls are similarly difficult to find in terms of availability, though I have not seen as much hunger and desire to own them from others and myself.

The clothes and headpieces are quite nice, however in my eyes the faces leave something to be desired. I'm even less invested in blue eyes Chu Wanning (though from a canonical standpoint wherein the only description I remember is black, blue as a common and iconic portrayal of white cats makes sense. However I repeat that golden eyes Chu Wanning is my favorite, mirroring Tianwen and the color of his spiritual constructs as well as being a perfect complementary color to Mo Ran's purple) and Mo Ran's eyes are also looking somewhat on the blue side as well.

These dolls lack charisma.

Midsummer Night 20CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

I actually own these- excellent clothes, excellent clothes and accessories (if you buy both you get the collar and leash!) excellent concept... To me they are perfect. Charming expressions, charming faces, hair embroidery...

The clothes are very high quality and come with wonderful details such as Mo Ran's clothes resembling a maid uniform decked out in cute little bells that jingle- provocative and inspiring of what might cause such bells to jingle raucously. It's peak boytoy outfit hours, giving the sense that the designer was intricately fantasizing about the midsummer night's dream in question as they designed it.

The body embroidery is exquisite-

Nipples AND intricate and gorgeous flower womb tattoos? Sign me up, brother. But they also come with a secret:

Their cute little plush butts bear the pawprint of the other's color. Truly the most intimate and erotic plush dolls that have been made yet.

And the best news? They're incredibly available right now as far as I know- ebay, aliexpress, anime/danmei goods online stores. Grab them now before they're gone!!

The only reason I can imagine to not buy them is that you're not into the bdsm subby Mo Ran vibe going on here, to which I say... Buddy, whose midsummer night's dream do you think this is?

That being said, they're not necessarily representationally perfect in terms of portraying the characters in terms of wearing more modern clothes that aren't the same as outfits from the novel. Also, I think I saw something implying that they're meant to be 2.0, and if that's the case Mo Ran is just as milk pale as Chu Wanning, which is mid from that direction.

For fun, I put him in a maid dress 💖

MOFANS 20CM

Face:🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾🐾 (body embroidery unknown) Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Taking a bit of a dive... I'm not certain if these dolls are more available due to possibly still being in print (mofans seems to reprint more often/better availability than omodoki) or if they're just not particularly popular.

I'm not a fan of them myself- this type of hair in particular is incredibly unattractive to me, though someone might enjoy brushing it (?) The faces aren't horrible, though Chu Wanning's pout is a little awkward. Not particularly charismatic.

I grant extra points to the clothes for having two separate outfits available- basic brocade robes and the more done up robes in the picture, complete with cute little cat purse for Chu Wanning. However, especially in comparison to the omodoki 20cm 0.5 outfit for Mo Ran, his outfit here leaves something to be desired, especially in absence of his mian guan.

If you like them, go ahead and get them, they're available in most places, even on mercari last I checked, but personally I have no interest in adding them to my collection.

(I don't know the source) 20CM

Face:🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Similar to the last dolls, these can be found fairly easily. However... Why would you want to? Sold at roughly the same price as the above dolls, the quality is just not there. Cheap looking clothes, cheap looking but admittedly fluffy looking hair, and while Chu Wanning's face is passable Mo Ran is an uncomfortable abomination.

If there's one thing I can praise, it's that they apparently have little butt marks-

and normal heart nipples and paws on hands and feet, but it's just not nearly as endearing as the midsummer night dolls' body embroidery.

Plush Wonderland 20CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Just recently becoming available with full photo proofs, the plush wonderland dolls are ones I ordered but haven't received yet!

I'm being somewhat strict on clothes, first of all, because these are not clothes that were designed for the ranwan dolls, rather I believe they are clothes available on taobao and made by cosmile? Not fully certain, but it's clear that the effort hasn't been put in in that regard, so I'm somewhat disappointed, especially having bought the clothes before having seen them. I'll definitely be spending more money on aliexpress looking for suitable clothes for them...

Furthermore, when it comes to the body embroidery...

I'm not a fan of the weird and incongruous animal symbols. No nipples? No belly button? I feel like it'll look weird if they're in outfits that show the chest. However, the paws are good, uniformly pink.

With my criticisms aside, the other particulars of these dolls are excellent. The hair embroidery in particular is some of my favorite, especially for CWN. The faces are adorable and lovely, the little sparkles in their eyes are very precious, good charisma. Mo-Zongshi having a slightly tanner skin tone is good! And the fact that you can get all three is absolutely everything to me, unbelievably satisfying and pleasing, thank you for giving me life.

And when it comes to availability, they're available right now! In addition, I don't know how Plush Wonderland is when it comes to reprinting, but I have a feeling that these will be some of the most readily available ranwan plushies yet. And can you really beat that with the price they're at? You can even buy them with skeletons included.

(unknown) 20CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾 (projected) Body: 🐾🐾🐾 (projected) Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 (projected) Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 (projected) Availability: (preorder)

Only just recently becoming put up for preorder on taobao and aliexpress as a design without proofs, it's difficult to foresee how they'll look without said proofs. However, the design is certainly appealing! A point deducted from face for Chu Wanning's face lacking character, though the gentleness might be enjoyed by some.

Also, I prefer nipples instead of these chest symbol type designs. It remains to be seen!

Kadokawa 20CM(?)

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: (body embroidery unknown) Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (0 paws out of 5)

So unavailable I can barely even find information on them from googling, I have the luck of having bought them through japanese mercari (they're still in a warehouse waiting to come home🥹)

They gain an extra point in clothes despite the basic outfits looking just a little cheap because these dolls also had available fluffy kitty and husky outfits with little purses!!! come on!!!

I'm ambivalent towards CWN's black eyes here, however his expression and everything going on with Mo Ran's face are so adorable with their little eyelashes that it doesn't even matter.

Despite being listed as 20cm, they look smaller than the 20cms I've seen in person, which is not a problem for me but should be noted regardless

Omodoki 13CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: (body embroidery unknown) Clothes:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (0 paws out of 5)

Another omodoki plushie that cannot be found outside of split second secondhand purchases... 🥹

10cm (and adjacent sizes) hold a special place in my heart for their extra cuteness due to being smaller than the 20cms. These in particular have very cute faces, though the blue eyes Wanning is certainly a drawback for me.

MOFANS 10CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Recently reprinted and available once again, these precious little babies can be yours! I recently bought my own and am planning to get them tiny little maid uniforms, as well as another little Mo Ran for non-display cuddling.

There are small details here and there that prevent them from being perfect in my mind- no paws on the feet, Wanning's hair making him look particularly unwanninglike, their silly little dudous (?) looking somewhat like diapers (offset by their adorable little cat and husky bibs) and now that I'm thinking about it mofans seems to portray cwn with a non haitang peonylike flower which is disharmonious... However, they're so cute that I can't hold it against them, the faces are particularly adorable.

They're soft, they're fluffy, they're sweet little babies.

Omodoki 10CM

Face:🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾 Availability: 🐾🐾🐾

With somewhat sporadic availability (though they seem to have restocked on Plush Wonderland), these tiny squishy little things had a glow up for me when I realized they didn't just have grey little bodies- those are dudous.

Rest assured- they have cute little plush butts. (photo from my boy waiting in the warehouse for his daddy to pay child support (shipping costs))

They're very simple in terms of face and body, which I wouldn't consider much of a plus or a minus however compared to other entries on here it feels somewhat lacking. In addition, it's blue eyes CWN, so personal deduction from me.

(unknown) 10CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (preorder)

A preorder available on aliexpress and taobao that just recently got a proof photo, these sweet little boys are adorable. The clothes are just little bibs, so there's not much to say there, and it's surprising to see a Mo Ran with a middling eye color compared to his Wanning counterpart- they look somewhat on the blue side, but I know I'll be preordering these when I have the money.

(unknown) 12CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (preorder)

Another taobao/aliexpress preorder, this time without proofs, I'm not the biggest fan of the (presumably) printed on little caped dumpling body type plushies as opposed to full bodied nude with clothes plushies, but the designs for these are cute enough for me to want to preorder.

@half_som 10CM

Face:🐾🐾🐾 Body: 🐾🐾🐾 Clothes:🐾🐾🐾 Overall Aesthetic:🐾🐾🐾🐾 Availability: (korean interest check)

Recently posted here for an interest check (the demand survey specifies that it's for domestic korean purposes and that there will be a US GO demand survey, however as far as I know there is no GO as of right now and so I'm planning on buying with a proxy service for now)

With very simple cute design, I'm the most excited and interested in getting all three CWN TXJ MZS together, especially pleased with MZS's tan skin.
