Just received my MYou Bettina. His head is bigger than I was hoping, but he is a very pale resin color, which is exactly what I had hoped he’d be. He is the first BJD I get in more than a decade, so I have nothing to compare him to, nor am I familiar with MYou at all. MYou wasn’t around back then, when I was still interested in BJD. He is my first mature tiny, despite me loving mature small sized dolls, BJD weren’t sized like that back then, so I only own mostly larger sized BJD.
Everything was as I expected, except for the small iris eyes I purchased for him. They are not small iris at all! I am hoping that was a mistake, and not actually what Alice Collections considers small, because they are just plain normal (for BJD, or any other average doll) sized iris-eyes. I have a terrible migraine, I was hoping it would get better, but MYou’s resin smell kind of made it worse. And then the eyes have a huge iris! DX
I am happy he’s here; I wasn’t expecting him until later in April due to the Holidays -- I placed my order in the last days of December, and China obviously has their own holidays as well. But it was a nice surprise to get shipping notifications earlier in the month -- delivery took a while, he was stuck in China for more than three weeks it seems. I am only a bit sad that the eyes I specifically paid for, didn’t work. I am having a h3ll of a time finding 6mm eyes with smaller irises for my custom Eren, and now this... finding eyes with small irises is the bane of my existence; I had forgotten that when I stopped caring about customizing my BJD, but now I remember it all.
