I think the blindbox dolls are neat, honestly. I don't own any but I've seen several that have intricate outfits, cool faceups, and come with a wig and shoes like a mini fullset. Many of the BJDS in my collection are obsure. They don't fit into standard clothing and I pay extra for custom fits. That's not a flex, it sucks. Further, my first doll was over $800 because I was a dumb teenager who bought into the hype of "expensive rare BJD = better" mindset thanks to online bullying of people with cheaper dolls.
At the time, it took several of my teeny paychecks to afford it and several months of layaway to pay it off. I don't regret it but it was ultimately a bad financial decision because I also had bills to pay. So I can appreciate these affordable little 'beginner' fullsets. They're cheap, most are legit, they come with everything needed. They're a cool intro to the BJD hobby. In the year 2026 with this crashing global economy, live and let live lol.

Modern BJD's aren't a known thing in my country.
So when I got my cutie Lucy, a Blindbox BJD, started posing her drinking tea and doing miniature crafts, and making outfits for her, I shared the pictures with family and friends. And when they visited I showed her off irl, and let kids play with her.
Each time a person older than 35 saw her they immediately paniced because they thought she was porcelain and that she would break. Until they held her and saw she was a (very nice) plastic, they then were like, ah yes this girlie is NOT breaking.
And Thing is, I know those people had those old school fancily dressed dolls kids weren't supposed to play with becuase some of them already had broken legs hidden under those skirts and the adults didn't want more of the expensive doll broken. I always wanted them.
I am currently living my childhood dreams in a way, with a very cute durable and inexpensive doll. And hopefully, one day, I will have an actual porcelain BJD that will sit on a shelf for the majority of the time and I will carefully handle her with love~<3
Before that, a resin doll probably. (As much as I love my dear Lucy, I am not getting more blindbox BJDs, as much as I appreciate how accessible they are, gambling addiction scares me.)

I hope blindbox and other "cheap" dolls continue to take this hobby by storm. I hope the people who collect them are happy with their little doll friends. I hope more people become interested in BJDs through this accessible entry point. I hope more companies pivot to the new market and get exposure from it so they can grow. I hope the crybabies who whine about it nonstop stay mad and never escape this otherwise gentle reminder that they have no control over this hobby or who gets to be in it.

I was kind of distraught that Bratz released their first cyborg Bratz doll through a fashion collaboration, Gentle Monster, since the price was definitely out of reach for me.
However, I had a friend, @doll_pants, who found a damaged Gaenna body and sent it to me as a wedding present so I was really overjoyed at owning a small piece of an elusive doll.
Of course it came without a head so I actually dug through my Bratz parts box to find the right base doll. I honestly am ignorant to the subtle differences between Bratz sculpts but after carefully examining UV sculpt heads and original sculpts, I can see the sculpting quirks being a lot nicer when held in comparison.
It's why I settled on this older Cloe head rather than buying a new Bratz doll since it really felt obvious how much nicer this sculpt looked compared to the UV sculpt.
I've never done a Bratz reroot in my life, but I was surprised Cloe's scalp paint had rooting guide lines and that it was spaced pretty evenly compared to other dolls I've done. I also used a heatpad and it helped make the provcess go by quickly. As for the hair itself, I just followed the rooting pattern and I was surprised how thin the overal hair was but it was made up by how much hair went into the parting.
As for the face up, I must admit I am intimidated by @lolliword and their paint style, but I wanted to do my own take on their style since I really like how unique it is.
Since Gaenna doesn't have eyebrows I wanted an eyeshadow that matched her hair and it was pretty purple heavy until I put her head on the body and decided to add silver to bring her body more into the design.
I really do feel out of my element with Bratz customs but I'm really proud of how Gaenna turned out and I like how my face up complements the amazing body.
my greed sickens me
Has anyone ever completely restyled Courtney's hair? I thrifted mine and her hair was a MESS. Right now I have it really brushed out for that "big hair" look, but I'm wondering if I should try restyling it. I could always try and make it how it should look, but I honestly have no clue where my doll hair curling stuff is... If anyone has some tips to make her hair look accurate and from the 80's please let me know!
My Courtney came to me secondhand and her hair was not well kept, so I just separated out each individual curl, sprayed it with water, brushed through it to detangle, and then twisted it in the direction of the natural curl. I did that through the rest of the hair, let it dry, and then once dry I used my fingers to separate each ringlet into smaller curls. That gives it the big poufy 80's look without looking tangled.
Trying a new format--I know it's not the best but I thought I'd give it a try!

I am begging artists who draw bjds to please please look at one for reference. Like a real one. Almost none of you know what actual bjd joints look like and it's really really obvious. You can go to company sites and see images of the bodies without clothing, and you can see all the joints in full view. Begging. Please.
