Title: What is this bjd?
Post by: kaoskat on January 01, 2015, 03:22:00 PM: Hubby has fallen in love with these dolls but we can't find anything about them. Does anyone know what they are called or what company makes them?

Noppin.com is good.

Searching 'Kinoko Juice' brought up some dolls that appear to be made by the same artist, just not the child dolls like these, so it may be something you have to watch for to come up.

Some people on BJD addicts, a facebook page, told me. I"m not sure if it's true, but I reeeaaally hope it is!
ETA: Just looked it up and it appears they have paired up with AZONE and the release is this month. They retail for about 2400 yen :)

Post by: NoDivision on January 02, 2015, 06:44:56 AM: There should be an extra zero in there, 24,000 yen :3

Post by: Vertefae on January 02, 2015, 06:46:21 AM: Yeah, I had to go look. Lol

So a vinyl run, Appox $220 plus shipping for a full set. She has rooted hair and her eyes cannot be changed. I don't care, I want!

The only thing I havent seen is are they going to be strung or jointed.

Post by: xkelpiex on January 03, 2015, 07:50:06 AM: Ooooops, sorry, I meant to put the extra zero, haha! But, yeah, I have a feeling these will be super popular once they release online.

I'm sure they can be modded so the eyes can be changed.
