Iâve mentioned before that I like blind box toys and ball jointed dolls and now Iâm in trouble because there are blind box ball jointed dolls out there.
Lady Doolli is blind boxed but is NOT a BJD though sheâs in a similar style. Iâd seen these on Amazon for a while and was curious but only recently decided to give one a try.
There is 1 skintone, 6 different hair styles/colors, and it looks like maybe 2 eye colors.
There are also 6 possible outfits.
The dolls and clothing are separate, but are each $26 and both are in the same listing here: https://amzn.to/3OrhHsk
The box is small and cute with a lot of pictures and writing on it, especially making a point to let you know thereâs no second outfit in here and they must be bought separately.
The outfits are packed in a little paperboard box shaped like a garment bag. It says 2022 Spring, so I wonder if there are many other outfit sets that have been released.
To be honest, I donât care for any of these outfits, really. Figured I should get one to review, at least.
Both the doll and outfit are packed in these silver foil bags inside the boxes. Thereâs no plastic shell or anything to hold their position in the packaging. Theyâre just loose in there.
I got dark, long hair with a side part with blue and purple eyes, and almost missed the tiny little bag of extra hands inside the silver bag. She does come already dressed in the pajamas.
I tried to get a good photo of the face screening but my phone is a potato. Thereâs a good amount of detail with a simple layout. She has eyeshadow, blush on the cheeks, chin, nose, and brows, a little lip line to separate her lips⊠Itâs a cute face, but I do prefer my dolls to not look sad or startled.
She does have rooted hair which is silky and smooth. Itâs a little stiffer than Kiwi nylon (Rainbow High) while still being soft.
She also has a couple paint spots on her face that look to be from the eyebrow paint.
The rooting isnât super dense in some areas.
Her head is harder than a Barbieâs head but is squishable to a degree so her eyes could be removed and replaced with some heat and her hair could be rerooted if you wanted.
Hair drop on a new doll head is normal. This looks like a plug or two which didnât get anchored.
Iâm impressed with the posing. The joints are stiff enough to hold a pose but easy to move other than her hips which take a little bit more pressure, and have a high range of motion.
The torso joints arenât as mobile as the arms and legs, though.
Her head can look up and down or tilt left and right depending on how you turn the neck joint which is a simple hinged ball.
The backs of the kneesâŠ
All of the jointing reminds me of Figmas.
Honestly I feel like the body alone is worth the $26 price tag, AND you get a rooted head with quality hair and inset eyes, a pair of pajamas, and an extra pair of hands.
Neither outfit that I have has any sort of closures or openings so you do need to remove the head and hands to dress her.
Getting the hands on and off is difficult
Turns out thereâs a LOT of flash on her wrist pegs. I did go in and clean that off. There was a good sized bit on her neck ball, too.
Heat up the hands, though, and they go on and off pretty easily.
I couldnât get this headband to stay on her hair because itâs satin and her hair is satiny smooth, but it does have a wire in the âearsâ so you can pose it as you wish.
LOOK AT THESE TINY LITTLE SHOES!
They have stitches, laces, tongues, glued on rubbery soles with IN SCALE texture on the bottomâŠ
They went on a lot more easily than I expected them to OVER her socks. I did need to get a little stick to pull the back of the heel out and over the dollâs heels. Other than that, easy-easy.
I also didnât even try to extract and tie the laces. They looked really short and I have poor motor control, so I opted to just shove her feet in there with the laces tucked inside.
The outfit came with shorts, a one-piece sweater and shirt combo, and some long socks. The socks arenât hemmed but everything else is. Again, no closures, not even an elastic waistband on the shorts. The shorts were a little difficult to put on.
All of the fabrics are soft and despite the sweater having a feelable texture, itâs not rough or scratchy so itâs not kicking off my texture-BAD senses.
She canât quite pull of Sailor Moonâs signature pose.
Here she is next to some other blind box BJD (the others really are BJD). They all could certainly share clothes despite Doolliâs longer, thinner body.

While I do feel that the quality of Lady Doolli is in line with the price (all together she costs $52), and am impressed with, basically, everything about her, I donât feel a need to buy another. Out of all of the blind box BJD Iâve tried (not pictured here is the Pennyâs Box centaurs), the only one Iâve wanted more than one of was Bonnie. I have three.
