Yuhao BJD 1/3 body box opening and review
I’m pretty sanguine about this body’s arrival but it’s a bit of a mess lol. Please keep in mind this is a legit doll. It was quite inexpensive, about $95 USD, and as it was in stock it arrived with my buying agent less than 24 hours after I ordered! I’m annoyed with myself that I didn’t take a full body photo before unstringing him.
He was sent in a plain box, plenty of bubble wrap, and bonus eyes. The site describes their resin as normal pink skin, but he’s basically Volks NS/common NS-Y. He may have been pinker when first cast but I can tell he’s been in stock a while and has yellowed a bit. Resin matches would be easy though.
His weird jointed hands are adorable. Impractical, fingers swing around, can’t really hold anything, but I love the aesthetic lol. Unfortunately one had come apart in shipping, and upon trying to reassemble it, the very thin resin snapped. Ugh, oops… Epoxy time.
He’s double jointed, but the way the joints are constructed, it’s not a huge improvement on single joints. They should have cut a channel into both sides of the peanut joints so he can actually utilise them properly. The photos show the range of movement in knees and elbows. You can bend it further of course but it doesn’t hold the position ^^ Ankles are rudimentary and limited in movement as shown. The neck joint is oddly square - I’m not sure what neck movement will be like because I’m yet to try on any heads.
I feel like this body has been kicking around for a while… There’s chips in the joints at the back of his knees and wrists. And he was absolutely filthy. Check out the before and after photo of the shins, left one has been scrubbed with soapy water and magic eraser. Finally, one of the knee peanuts has extremely thin resin, as thin as rice paper, to the point where if you press on it it’d definitely break. I’ll have to shore that up from the inside with epoxy.
Price: 10/10
Value for money: 5/10
Speed: 10/10
Posing: 6/10
Verdict: I’d rather have spent $30 extra and gotten a nice sparkling new Fantasydoll body rather than what’s essentially a second-hand body lol. Still, it was an experiment and I’m happy enough with him. Once I fix him up a little he’ll be a nice body for a floating head!
