Day 24: your most expensive doll.

My blue-grey pukipuki Pongpong by Fairyland. The tiniest, cheekiest little sprite! I made the clothes and wig and he's named Periwinkle, Peri for short.

I made the children some beds!! And then some PJs for Camille, of course

Yay! New friends!

Who will they be?

Oh, a friendly acorn boy!

And a sleepy little child, so cute!

Their names are Tobey and Bobble!

They fit in well with the group!

Left to right: Tobey (he/they), Aisling (she/they), Yue (she/her), Bobble (he/him), Ollie (he/she), up top is Miel (she her), and the sleeping pukipuki in previous photos is Gwin (they/them)

I feel like sharing images of my Pukipuki, Thimble. So here’s a pic. (Yes, I know the faceup is a bit messy. I tried my best.)

The fabric is from the dollar tree, believe it or not.

Since Pukipuki might be coming back I thought I'd enable some people.

a few weeks ago, i attended the annual triangle doll, toy, & miniature show! i’ve been going for the past couple of years and it’s always a blast. i love meeting and chatting with other local doll enthusiasts, and of course, shopping. this year i was thrilled to pick up a pukipuki bjd (photos to come!) as well as some only hearts club clothes and shoes!

though she isn’t interested in dolls (save the star wars jizz wailer doll she found there), my partner colette was sweet enough to accompany me to the show! she also recently directed a music video for destroyer’s latest album, dan’s boogie. i mention this because eagle-eyed indie rock/doll collectors may notice she included a shot from the doll show in the video! :)

having her there - and having such a fun day out memorialized in a music video for one of my favorite artists - definitely made this my best doll show yet. 🥰

I figured out where all the micro bjd were coming from (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤ and grabbed these girls! they are Doubaozi Doll/luladoll Douxiaoman and Douxingxing i will need to label who is who before i forget ;;; they came in absolutely adorable bunny tins and an extra pair of blank eyes you can make your self

I wanted 2 child dolls to go with my own 1/12 doll Orchid but considering how long it's taking me to finish and not feeling particularly exited about the prospect of spending another decade to sculpt some 1/12 child sized bjd i am more then happy with these!

Dusty (orientdoll so-ye, a short lived offshoot of leekee I think it was?) is the same size as a pukipuki, the former champion of smallest bjd you could get, for all those old times collectors who know what size that is and a barbie for size comparison

And here is one of them sitting in a mini brands purse

DouBaoZi Doll - review of tiny, tiny doll.

My understanding is the name means "Sweet Bun", I've just copied it from the site as written. There are 6 dolls on offer - some options for full sets, some just the doll. I got DouZi, who seems to be the most popular going by order numbers on the site.

They're 7cm tall. I thought I knew tiny, I've had PukiPukis and met RealPukis, these are *tiny*. They're also very affordable - doll with face up, eyes, wig, and shipping to UK was 143 USD.

I bought mine from LulaDoll.cn - I hadn't heard of them before but checked them out on DoA, and my experience with them was excellent.

At time I ordered some listings advised 2-3 months, some 3-4, plus 20 days for face up and 15-30 days for shipping. I ordered on 30th April, and my parcel was ready for delivery on 20th July. (Only downside, they use Yodel in the UK, but it all worked out.) So that's less than 3 months total.

Many pictures under the cut:

Came in a small cardboard box with adorable tape:

Inside that was this tin, wrapped in bubble wrap.

Doll in bag, wig in pot, and more bubble wrap.

Bag Of Doll.

Doll wrapped in tissue paper, one finger for scale. (This was the point where I was going "Holy shit this is tiny". I knew logically she was, but there's tiny and then there's tiny.)

One DouBaoZi, next to a Zuru My Mini Baby. She's slightly taller than the baby (which measures about 2.5inch/6.35cm stretched out) but slightly slimmer. She's double jointed - I'm still working out posing, but she has a decent range of motion and sits easily.

Wearing a dress I made for the Zuru baby, while I work out just how I'm going to crochet this tiny.

She's *adorable*. I'm really happy - I found out these dolls existed when I'd just missed out on getting a PukiPuki and was searching Tumblr, found this post and fell in love. I definitely want more later on. I've been looking on IG and it's interesting how much the expressions vary based on the face up. I've seen ones of this mold that look sad, cheeky, thoughtful, and polite. I'd say this one looks a bit wistful, but I'll decide on name etc once she has her own clothes.

Leetol toddler bed #1, made from SimplyStella's files

[the-bjd-community-confess]

I originally got into the hobby because I was fascinated by the way that the joints worked; more than wanting a doll I wanted to string a doll. So, I bought a 3d-printed kit where you had to put your doll together yourself. I just wish I knew it was 1/16 scale.

I mean, I got what I wanted out of it — an understanding of how the tension holds the joints in their rotated place, counterbalanced by the weight of the limbs — but I did want to customize her, and *that* made me feel like a medieval peasant. I couldn’t find 1/16 sized anything anywhere online (this was before I knew that PukiPukis were 1/16 scale), so I had to make everything from wigs to socks myself…not to mention faceups at that scale are really, really painful.

She looks great now, but ugh, I wish I’d had less hubris about being able to work from scratch. I literally ordered a vinyl MDD and resin MSD so I can do it all over but maybe it’ll actually be fun when my thumb isn’t half the width of the doll’s face

I’ve never had a 70cm BJD before, and I gotta say, this guy is an absolute Unit. (His wig hasn’t arrived yet.)

Additional photo with Pukipuki for scale.

what do you think about this sort of stylization where the fingers are super short? kinda reminds me of lil hamster paws, or sort of animal in a way.
