Happy 10th Birthday, Kaneki! Also Happy 10th Anniversary to the Tokyo Ghoul Anime!

I can't believe it has been 10 years... the head for this doll was a present for my graduation. The times with this doll were so intense and he still means a lot to me, maybe some of you remember the dozens of outfits and photoshooting I made as the series progressed.

This final outfit stayed with him since the 10th anniversary of the 1st Chapter as it feels like the cherry on top to finish him as a doll.

The series still give me so many feels, guess... time for another re-read.

Someone got some new jeans and a jacket! 😍 Now he's almost complete once I get him the right eyes and give him his piercings.

I'm sorry I never update this blog, I'm trying to do better... 💦 But a few months ago I repainted and made a new shirt for Finnley and I'm obsessed with how gorgeous she is all over again!! 💕 Now she's the beautiful goth of my heart...

After much whining and whinging and USPS messing up a redelivery, Aria is here!

Not sure what body I am gonna hybrid to.

I want to put it on a girl body. IOS says it's for a 10cm neck but I don't think I like how the head looks on my SSDF body with 10cm neck. Looks nicer on a 9cm neck, but I am not sure what shoulder width I think looks nicest for this.

Hello, folks. This is your Oldie Chinese Diaspora Anon™️. I am starting to feel like I sound like bad news bears, so I would like to make my stance clear here. I have nothing against blind box dolls – heaven knows, I have a couple of them, too. It’s just unfortunate that I keep on encountering troubling news when it comes to blind box dolls, it seems. Please bear with me, would you?

Now, I need to introduce you to an... old friend. While we all know the resin recaster and his myriad of companies, I think I have brought up the vinyl recaster, DBS, a few times before as well. As a refresher, DBS is a toy company that specializes in vinyl and ABS toys. They bill themselves as the creators of “proudly MiC” toys for the next generation. However, their dolls have been found to be “recasted” from resin into vinyl and they have been plagiarising from several different companies, from Koreans to down-home Chinese. The MäyTrëë line of blind boxes were rejected by the BJD community because while the original designer was independent, the dolls were made by one of the DBS companies and was thought to be one of their subsidiaries. (more information here: https://the-bjd-community-confess.tumblr.com/post/727751969206304768/hello-anon-this-is-your-oldie-chinese-diaspora )

With that as a preamble, let me introduce you to the “Inedible Rabbits” dolls (Well, these ones: https://www.kikagoods.com/products/moon-jumping-time-bunny-series-1-12-action-figure-bjd-blind-box?variant=44766128931050 ). Similar to the “Escape Plan” dolls, they were created by a team of newbies who first 3D-printed their designs and pitched them to what’s akin to a Chinese-version of a Kickstarter called Modian. During the crowdfunding period, people can pre-order these dolls while the team running the KS maintain regular updates, chase goals, changes to the designs, etc. The final production is usually outsourced to a factory. The team is, in theory, working with the team all the way until delivery. I still vaguely remember someone asking “why aren’t there KS campaigns for dolls?” Well, you’re about to find out why… it wasn’t the price or the long production time, There’s a lot more to it.

As with the “Escape Plan” team, there’s a gap between the final products when compared to the samples (https://the-bjd-community-confess.tumblr.com/post/756541155738615808/一万次出逃计划开箱-避雷快跑哔哩哔哩bilibili ). One of the problems that was encountered by the buyers from the Escape Plan Team was that they have gone AWOL when people started to receive their dolls and started complaining. With the Inedible Rabbit Team however, my sources reported worse issues with communication. The creative team was not only unresponsive most of the time but they would block anyone who even asked benign questions. We also found out that the creative team behind the Inedible Rabbits did not apply to become a company prior to establishing their KS. It means that all of the transactions are considered personal (think F&F). With their frequent and wilful blocking of people, there are a lot of donors who are worried about how shady their behaviour is.

This is the latest expose from a Chinese source: https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66e00cce000000001e01903f?app_platform=ios&app_version=8.52&share_from_user_hidden=true&xsec_source=app_share&type=normal&xsec_token=CBUsqAi70IwpfK_-OZEZS28zESD2e88FIMRgVnkEaN3D8=&author_share=1&xhsshare=CopyLink&shareRedId=ODlFNzlGND02NzUyOTgwNjg5OTc7Szk8&apptime=1725972303&share_id=49435c4b26604cbe8cd6fd49fc41db11 And this is a summary by a Taiwanese proxy: https://www.plurk.com/p/3gac0e1qck (please feel free to use a Google Translator to help you)

The Taiwanese Plurk mentioned that the clothes of the dolls were made by the infamous DBS. This was discovered from a video that the Inedible Rabbit Team posted on their social media showing the interior of their outsourced factory that made clothes for them. (can be seen here: https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66e26d2a000000001e0193cc?app_platform=ios&app_version=8.53&share_from_user_hidden=true&xsec_source=app_share&type=video&xsec_token=CBaBewvBjppksg843In6KcCKwy5e3Tbv8rN-f9ARvjXks=&author_share=1&xhsshare=CopyLink&shareRedId=ODYzRUU9PTw2NzUyOTgwNjY0OThISEtL&apptime=1726233161&share_id=189d6a99974941f899342c780b0e8890 ) At the 0:12 timestamp, a box with the DBS logo was shown very briefly in a pan-over shot. (seen here: https://www.xiaohongshu.com/explore/66e283db0000000027002ca0?app_platform=ios&app_version=8.53&share_from_user_hidden=true&xsec_source=app_share&type=normal&xsec_token=CBaBewvBjppksg843In6KcCK1D4UzhNUD8Fm5_7tph_yA=&author_share=1&xhsshare=CopyLink&shareRedId=ODYzRUU9PTw2NzUyOTgwNjY0OThISEtL&apptime=1726233089&share_id=9de63adea9b14bd191309c996ed2bc29 ) Thanks to this discovery, a lot of the collectors and donators who also own resin BJDs are asking for refunds because they do not want to be associated with DBS in the fear of being seen as pro-recast. Thanks to people pulling out of the KS, the proxy has informed me that some of the unlocked stretch goals would most likely be rescinded. She is afraid that if too much of the funds get pulled out, the creative team may just pack up and do a rug pull with the money. Thanks to the fact that they never registered as a company, if they run, there’s basically no way to get that money back.

I do not want to be seen as someone who stands in others’ way of having a good time and earning money. But I also cannot stay quiet when I know that blind box dolls are a lot of new collectors’ gateway into resin BJD. This is akin to me knowing that something is a recast but fail to warn the new comers ahead of time. If anyone gets looked down upon or rejected from a group due to association with a doll that uses DBS clothes, I don’t think I can quite live with myself. So… thank you very much for lending your ears to me once more. I know full well that I do not have the ability to change anyone’s mind, but at least I can sleep better knowing that I have tried my best to tell you what I know.

Post Script: On September 14th, the creative team behind Indedible Rabbits posted their first public apology: https://www.modian.com/project/update/detail/161340 They promised to create a business account and becoming more accountable. They also stated that despite the factory video they are not in collaboration with DBS. It's up to you to decide if you want to believe the team. end!)

So I recently got into the penly app(Available on Android and iOS) for digital journaling and thought it would be a great place to continue my bjd log book. Sure I have my printable pages but we'll my book as gotten pretty thick, haha. So I figured why not two?

File is available here on ko-fi, along with easier to find versions of the printables.

Kinda in the mood to-do more design like this, anyone have any requests of printables or penly templates to make?

Tartarus’s body has finally arrived! It’s super floppy, so mom had to hold him up for photos. When my back is 100% better again, i will attempt to restring him.

Dan Feng has returned home, at long last. He looks even cooler than I imagined. ♥

Mr Moody has entered the chat!

Fresh from a visit to the spa aka a vist to @meanae, 💗meet H.eiss! (Yes that's really his name, and I know what it means, it's an in joke that stuck when we were figuring out what to call him lol)

After waiting since 2009 to put this guy together and reselling him once after I bought a doll to be him, meet Neo's beloved and protector and the first character I roleplayed against (his character belongs to an old rp partner, I got permission to get a doll of him, don't worry.)

I love him! He still needs his piercings and he shouldn't have a wig this long but I don't care. I love him! Can't wait till his clothes get here. 🥰😍😍😍

I'll get better pics next time I swear.

Z.

Finally was able to take him out of storage!😭 The hook for the Sprouting Dragon 75cm body fits inside his head, and the skin tone matches too. So I was finally able to put him on a body and play dress up. Will try his human head next, but I'm pretty happy with him in this form right now. Quick shots with my phone as I was just too excited to take photos and had no proper lighting setup.

His neckhole does fit but the neck looks just a little thick, but it can be hidden by his hair. To be honest, the fit is a little off in person but not visible much in photos. Still, love him on this body. Might look into getting another one in the future, since Z has two heads.😆

Anyway, meet Zagan, or Z for short. He loves blood (obviously), among other things.

I have finally, finally taken out Finnley so I can take photos of her with Gwyn. Both of my ABS dolls, together at last...! Immediately after I took these, I wiped Finnley to give her a new faceup, so look forward to that soon!
