OC: Diana, aka Dani

Dani is a typical case of 'OC outgrew doll-form". So, she'll be reshelled! Her new form will, hopefully, be here within a few months. I still adore the Miyu sculpt though, very much so. So I'm definitely keeping this doll :)

favorites

i wonder how my other dolls feel about these guys being my blatant favorites

Dolls: Volks MSD F24, 2ddoll Miren, FDoll Glen

also here's a ref for doll sizes. 1/6, 1/4, and 1/3 respectively. 1/6 is around 28cm cause boots, 1/4 is around 44-45cm cause heels, and 1/3 is 62 cm.

I remember when I was freaked out at the size of 1/4 dolls. Good times.

More enormous dolls

The problem with owning a Dollmore Trinity is that I realized that I love this size doll (41 inches/105 cm). Like, I really love her size. If I could get all my BJDs in that size... I would.

Luts is here to help. Luts Royal Senior Delf (RDSF RSDF) is 110 cm (43 inches):

He big - but his head is smaller than Trinity. Also - he pricey.

Luts is currently running a promo on their Grand Senior Delfs (GSDF) at 78 cm.

Dollmore coming in clutch with their 122 cm (48 inch) male Trinity doll, but hoo boy, he REALLY pricey:

That would be Alicia in the middle, lol. Derp.

So... yeah. I'm kinda keeping a running tally on BIG big dolls

Oh - BJD celebrity moment. FDoll (the Chinese casting company) liked one of my Iris pictures on Insta. I'm famous, y'all.

I’ve been meaning to write up a shareable post for some time now regarding the fiasco with Layla Szczepaniec and her company JpopDolls. I’ve been putting it off for months now because the whole situation just makes me so unbelievably angry that it is hard to calmly and succinctly explain all the bullshit Layla has put not only myself through, but also dozens of other customers and doll artists through.

I’m writing up this post because I do not want anyone else to be in the same position as I am now where they’re out of luck getting back their money and have nothing to show for it other than a few Facebook messages and emails full of nothing but excuses and lies. If this post prevents even one person from doing business with JpopDolls, I’ll consider that a win. If it causes Layla to shut down the business for good, I certainly wouldn’t shed any tears over it.

The short of it is that I preordered an Asella Raspberry doll in coffee skin back in October 2020. I never received the doll nor have I received a refund. Layla has not posted to the JpopDolls Facebook page (the only active source of information) since June 2022. Comments are also limited on the FB page (or at least I know that I am personally blocked from making comments on it). I am not the only one in this position either. There are people that preordered dolls from early 2020 that never received them, and there’s people that purchased in stock goods that either never received them, or it took months to receive them.

The long story is that back in February of 2022, Asella herself posted on her Facebook page that she had recently been in contact with Fdoll and Island Doll (2 companies that JpopDolls had used in the past for casting Asella’s dolls) since she was planning to run some preorders herself, and found out that neither of them had received orders from JpopDolls in the last 1-2 years, despite the fact that Layla had been regularly running preorders since 2020. Prior to this news, I’d spent a little over a year emailing and messaging Layla asking for when dolls would be arriving, and always given something along the lines of “soon”, and once given an actual month for when the dolls should get delivered to her.

When contacted about this news, Layla stated that Asella was misinformed and that the dolls were delayed due to the 2020 COVID shutdown and casting problems. She then stated that the dolls would be delivered by spring, and if they weren’t, customers would be refunded. Spring came and went and no dolls materialized and no refunds were sent.

In summer of 2022, a public Facebook group was created called People and Businesses who lost money to JPOP dolls. It currently has 79 members. It was a group that aimed to try and organize all of the JpopDolls customers that had been having issues with the company. Together, dozens of us filed formal complaints to the Washington state Attorney General’s Consumer Resource Center, as well as the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Unfortunately, nothing came of these complaints. I believe some individuals also filed police reports and knew of at least one person that was thinking of trying to go to small claims court since they lived in the same state as Layla. I haven’t heard any updates regarding that though.

From what I read in the group, JpopDolls has been ripping off artists that worked with them for years, at least since 2017 (when Grace was still alive, so this isn’t a new problem with a new owner). This has led those artists to stop working with them in the past. A post from October 2022 also stated that they received an email from JpopDolls about a sale on doll clothing and accessories as well as in-stock dolls, so Layla is clearly still actively trying to do business and the website is still up and running. I have not personally heard anything from her since emailing her in March.

I have personally come to accept that I will not be getting my money back, and even if I did receive the doll by some act of God, I wouldn’t want it anyway. The entire situation soured me on a doll that was my grail for a majority of my time involved with this hobby. At this point all I want is to make sure that nobody else does business with JpopDolls (or Layla Szczepaniec) ever again.

Do not buy anything that’s in stock or on preorder. Do not give your hard-earned money to someone that is more than happy to take it and then never send you what you paid for. If you have an order with JpopDolls that is still within the timeframe your bank or PayPal give to file a claim, get your money back now.

Please do share this information with your fellow doll collectors, new and old alike. I don’t want anyone else put through this nonsense.

You can find my old posts about this issue on my Instagram story highlights under “jpopdolls” as well as my feed here and here.

i want monster high fdolls for Christmas i miss playing with dolls

[the-bjd-community-confess]

L1l d2vil dre@ms gets hyped up by others on the regular and it seems like a mean joke. Now they've paid for casting with Fdoll. People are always on about being nice to newb sculptors UwU and critique is mean! Well isn't it kind of mean to hype them up to a point where they're confidently blowing their money on cast dolls no one is going to buy? And it's not just them, the same goes for others that get hyped up despite little to no sales. Idk that just seems so much worse to me, even if people are trying to be nice by doing it.

ADAW 05/52 - Black dog

“A black dog is a spectral or demonic entity found primarily in the folklore of the British Isles. The black dog is essentially a nocturnal apparition, some of them shapeshifters, and are often said to be associated with the Devil or described as a ghost or hellhound. Its appearance was regarded as a portent of death. “ -  S

Why did fdoll (fantasy doll) remove so many of their dolls? Like Nathan? :(

Jun Planning Ai Sage

She's my fourth doll and I took these photos a few years ago. Really love her, even if her hair feels weird.

And here's some other old pictures of her with my Fdoll.

I look back and see how much things have changed from my early days in the hobby to now. I was afraid of touching them because of how fragile they seemed and I only wanted the smaller dolls since they fit so well on my bookshelf and the larger sizes seemed intimidating.

and now I'm just outright hugging my 1/3 dolls.

I do miss how almost magical they seemed since they really lost that quality to me. I obviously still love dolls, but right now, I see them as more of something for creative projects.

Dolls: Jun Ai Planning Sage, Fdoll Glen

Like I said, I took a better picture of Rayen in natural light! Even in this light, the resin match is nearly spot on, which I am very happy with. Ringdoll normal resin and pale normal fantasy doll resin. 😄 #bjd #dollsofinstagram #ringdoll #ringdollraven #bjdhybrid #fantasydoll #fdoll

I finally created a character for this Lishe head~

It was supposed to be Yves, but I think he needs another mold. And I don’t really miss him as a doll ^^;;

Now we have here mr. fox “Shiro”~ who is best buddies with Kuromi <3

Was about time to redo a certain picture I did more that a year ago :)

Nicolai got some of his mods done (but still several to go), and poses now like a pro. The Iplehouse EID body wasn’t able to carry Val like that, but Idealian can do it :D Val seems to be happy too, haha.
