I finally got some Penny’s Box Antu (Dreamlike Tea Party) Centaurs! One of my older (grand) nieces who has a slight interest in BJD, but loves all other dolls of all types, wanted a chance to get the secret versions. So, she purchased a full set of six for that reason (from Kikagoods, first batch if I recall correctly). She’s going to college soon however, so she wanted to lighten the cost by splitting the set with me and her oldest cousin (not blood-related to me, whom appears to also be interested in collector dolls), so she didn’t feel too terrible about the purchase. 

She didn’t get any of the secret ones, sadly, but she seems to like these enough that now she wants to get the other Penny’s Box Antu and Adou, as well as some of the Simon’s Toys Teenar girls. I don’t think she’ll get into resin BJD (most of my family are action figure/adult-miniature-collector types, and many don’t favor resin). But now she seems adicted to Chinese desginer trading collector toys! Not sure that’s good or not, but I was able to get these girls finally! I am super happy with mine; she sent the boxes sealed, although we all agreed we were okay if she got to choose the ones she wanted to keep (by opening all the boxes). I am happy with mine -- I was only interested in getting only one originally, but then because I felt I needed to help out a bit more (to lighten the expense burden), I paid for two boxes.

I got the one with the brown hair and the one with the gradient black and white hair! I wish I would have gotten one of the pink or purple/bluish hairs, because they seem like they have semi-transulent hair pieces! However, I might try again, once I am not hording other stuff (or paying for extra-expensive s/h from Japan!). These truly are super adorable dolls, I don’t mind owning a few more than I originally intended, although I certainly don’t need all six (watch me as I fail at that, just like at just getting only one)! LoL! DX
