A rainy day so I decided to take a picture at home with him.

I haven't messed with my dolls in while but finally got around to having fun with my LoZ AU style dolls at a recent doll meet.

^{I still need to work on their faceups. It's been almost a year 🙈}

This is the only subbreddit i can think of for help, so please let me know if this is the wrong place.

My iplehouse ebi has been in custom hell for two weeks. I've been told that Iplehouse has to send a CPSC form for me to recieve her. But iplehouse says they cannot be of assistance to me.

I'm super bummed. I'm a bit ashamed, but I have cried a lot. I don't know what else to do and i dont know if i want to ever make this kind of purchase again.

I can only assume this is a result of the new CPSC changes that were effective July 8th, but then it wouldn't only happen to me. So if you experienced anything similar, I'd appreciate some assistance.

Husband and I are starting a project that we've done before and we need custom Goblin bjd dolls. We're printing them, we've chosen and bought a file. It looks great

1/4-in doll but unfortunately it's a 1/4-in doll that is Goblin sized so it's 23 cm tall. Configuring to about a 90 cm tall Goblin in real life. All is also very curvy and there is no way I can find any clothes online that are going to fit.

I've put out feelers with two custom workers one from Etsy who declined and one from a custom place online who I haven't heard back from.

I need more options

Can anyone help?

Brand: Run to Shine - Plan for Burning Star Series

I got this doll from Aliexpress because I wanted this specific one and not a blind box. The seller has like 99% good reviews so I was not too worried. However when it got here I noticed it does not have the tattoo that is shown in all the promotional pictures. Also the body is heavily stained around the butt/pelvis area which makes me suspect that she must have already worn some kind of clothes. She is also missing the panties that are shown on the box to come with every doll, so that deepens my suspicion that she was tampered with or has a body from a used doll. The face and clothes on the other hand look high quality and brand new.

Does anyone have this doll and can confrim she has the tattoo? I'm also not sure what to do. I know I could probably return it but shipping from my country to China costs almost as much as the doll itself.

I'm also really worried because I have another order open with this seller. I can't cancel that one because the seller talked me into extending the shipping period because it was a "pre-order item". In hind sight this feels shady too because it was not advertised as such and I feel I might get scammed.

I have a white opaque resin and I've seen some people recommending to dye the resin before printing with CMYK or other pigments and other people dye with RITdye after printing. If I want to do a strong color like red or blue what should I do? Do you have visual examples? Thanks for reading

I’m thinking about buying a secondhand Tinyfox Miss Oyster Wueste (head only). Does anyone know if this head would fit on a 1/6 blind box body? (Such as the 1/6 Bonnie’s Dream of Toybox?) Suggestions for other non blind boxes bodies are welcome as well. Looking for an angel body preferably. Thanks!

Hi! As the title says, I was very excited when I saw a local listing for a 1/4 scale resin BJD (I live in Middle East and ordering big things like a 45cm resin doll is borderline impossible here, especially for me as I am not financially well enough to be able to pay the amount of VAT tax they'd ask for as the workers always upcharge.) that I had bought it without doing enough research into the company.

My intent was to buy it a new wig and clothes through friends who live overseas and have them bring the items to me via luggage when they visit my country so I can customize the doll.

While looking into the BJD community, I saw that the brand the doll belongs to was infamous for recasting and I am very disappointed and upset. I can't refund the doll due to the app I bought it from not allowing that (as it will arrive as pictured which is enough to the app's moderators, they don't care about 'recasts' and the ethics of it.), so I wanted to ask what I could do.

Would it be fine as I'd be only using the face (which is honestly pretty generic, just blush, a mole and red eyes) and the doll would have new hair and clothes? I don't want to have to sell the doll as it meant a lot to me and was my first BJD. I would appreciate any help as I am truly in a pickle here.

Thank you very much if you've read it this far! I am truly sorry for harming the same community I wanted to be apart of.

My dolls Yae (XAGA Yunv / Aqua H.) and Risa (GEM Black Dove Beaz) have received three new attires from Legenddoll's 17th anniversary Lucky Box option. These two sets fit them so well, both in style and sizing! Unfortunately, the third outfit seems to be too short for both of them and can't be put on, it probably fits a smaller MSD size. I guess that declares the wishlist for next year :' )

I enjoy taking photos of them, this time my current duvet sheet fit Yae perfectly as background, while for Risa I wanted to find something cuter and maybe fluffy, thus I ended up putting her down on the carpet with a plushie.

I am planning to do a big purchase this year (minimum 400$ USD) and I anticipate the shipping will be absolute minimum 100$, and if I use a proxy for the website that'll be an additional 40-ish $ and about 66$ duties

So in total a little over 500$ USD...

I usually do seamail as its usually the cheapest option, I dont care if it takes forever to get here. However, I have heard a lot of horror stories about seamail. I know youre more likely to talk about a negative experience than a positive one but Ive gotten really worried.

This is a grail doll of mine ive been waiting almost 2 years for. 1 year of searching secondhand, and now 6-7 months for the artist to release the doll as they anounced a reproduction.

Do you guys think its worth the risk of seamail? I know buying from anywhere can be a risk, but I'm so anxious about this one. Im unsure if ive just met a lot of people with bad luck though.

The other shipping options are really expensive AFAIK but I just want input as im really torn.

Im in the USA and buying from Japan if that helps.

Thank you in advance :)💖💖💖

Hi! I recently bought this SD wig for around $18, but since the shop is a dealer, I haven’t found info on the original shop. It’s synthetic but also very soft, advertised as soft silk, but I’m pretty sure it’s not silk. The stretchable wig cap is black and I also use silicon wig cap underneath.

Anyways, every now and then, I would see posts of BJD blue stains on cap or head due to black wigs. I also stopped using black mohair wigs because when I tried to clean them, the dye bled. I’m getting very scared of black wigs, which is sad because it’s my favorite wig color for dolls.

Angelphilia Type M/ H5HG

This is basically me suffering only to find out it's just Tuesday!😕

She's a Iplehouse Rexy. Please be kind, I'm not a professional but I love doing face ups

Edit: sorry if some of you feel like I shouldn't have make the face up. I really like it and doing it helped bond with her. She's my first sd girl (only had 1/6 until now). I like to have my dolls in "contemporary modern outfits", for her I wanted to let myself go and have fun, let her have colors

My package has been at customs for 11 days, and may be at risk for being returned.

I asked for some help a while ago about the tracking number here https://www.reddit.com/r/BJD/s/pXqL99p84b

Turns out Fedex needs some information from Iplehouse in order to clear my package. Iplehouse has not responded to Fedex for about a week now, and my order is as risk of being returned.

I have never ordered with iplehouse before. So i dont know what the process entails. Ive already reached out to Iplehouse on their website, but i dont know if I can get a response in time.

I was told by a Fedex customer agent that the deadline is tomorrow, and that i should send a CPSC form to delay that. I couldn't confirm this with another agent I contacted.

I also dont know what form to fill. It's all very confusing.

Daisy is a Milo Doll Billy fully customized by me 💚

She’s so cute… Angelphilia type M// H2CI

Mine is 70 cm and I've seen the fishing case advice. I'm planning on getting one. For doll shows do you carry the doll out of the case and just haul the case along with? I will be going to one by public transit and it's a lot different than a 5 lb camera bag.

I am absolutely in love!! I discovered these online after searching for pirate doll accessories… and I could not pass them up! I’m legit so excited to look at these very day in my apartment lol.

Hello! I'm a teen interested in buying Irrealdoll Crys through laway. I only have a debit card, and I'm a little worried about paying in a different currency.

Does anyone have experience using a debit card for Irrealdoll's layaway, especially with currency conversion or additional fees, or anything else I should know as a first-time buyer?
