Resin Ball Jointed Doll (BJD) Companies who offer darker skin tones for less than 40$

Since this topic concerns many collectors who want to collect bjds em with more skin tones than "normal", "normal pink", "peach" etc i decided to make this post where I'll link LEGIT bjd companies who straight up offer tan/dark skin tones or sell for less than 40$+ with pictures. I know that +40$ is a bit much on top of 200$ or 500$ but its the cheapest I can find for most brands, unfortunately. I also couldn’t find great pictures from the companies so I credit every time I use someone’s photo but all the rest is from the company ^^ Enjoy and feel free to add anything I forgot!

*rambling doll thoughts*

So this is my OC, Mana. (Left is from 2017, right is from 2020)

She is (or was?) a standalone character I invented for an inktober comic I did. Olive ended up sneaking her way into Mana’s universe, so I knew I’d eventually wanna make her into a doll too, being the main character and all. Also they’re probably also girlfriends so that didn’t help

Below the cut is me babbling about shelling her, being indesicive, and all that back and forth 💦

First, a picture!

(I’ll put the link here for the upper left niuniu, i believe it’s lost in bookmark hell;;; bottom right pumpkin photo belongs to smoochyscoop on amino apps and is only here for reference purposes!!!) 

So, when I first did this I leaned for DZ Pumpkin-  her button nose and cute lips were very charming! Niuniu was a very close second, but I went with Pumpkin and put her on my wishlist for a few years- I was waiting for DZ to open tan resin orders again. She wasn’t supposed to be a high priority until that time, but... Welll.... 😅 *stares at the DZ discontinuation event, which has come and gone* That happened, so Tan option was out.

So this forced me to think about her all over again. I could dye her, yes! but (naturally....) I started reconsidering if she was the Right One or not after all. I wasn’t entirely happy with my digital facepass for her anymore since it was a few years old and I couldn’t seem to recreate it to my liking. I kept coming back to this facepass, even though I made my choice ages ago- which, ofc, isn’t a good sign, SO... 

I decided to do some updated passes and realized what was holding me back. I subconsciously wanted to update her design. She’s a few years old now (2015), and a lot of her design I put together on a whim since she was meant to be a one-shot character. I even held a contest to decide her colors! While I still love that version of her, I felt like if I really wanted to make her a doll I should be more like... invested about it. So, updated digital passes and doodles (as seen above) happened.

(from left to right: Dollzone Niuniu company pic, Dream Valley Rach company pic, and Dollzone Pumpkin (same pic, also (c) to smoochyscoop) 

I realized that while I love Pumpkin a lot, she’d become too young-looking for how I imagined Mana now. DV’s Rach was a very cute option that could come in tan (God and I do want a DV tan yosd *agonizes over DV’s discontinuation event too*) Her face is darling, but both me and my boo agreed that it wasn’t quite as animated and bright-eyed as Niuniu. Really, my heart is (and perhaps has always been) with Niuniu. Her smiling open mouthed face is just SO charming and different and suits her character really well. I would also LOVE to see her sculpt in tan, so.. as scary as dyeing sounds, that’s what I’m gonna try my best to do.

ALSOOO ON THAT NOTE I had found a 2nd hand Niuniu and put her on 3 month layaway - and i’ve paid it off early for my BIRTHDAYYYY (eeeee;;; ) AND SHE SHIPPED!!!! 😭😭😭 AUGHHH!!! Let’s see how long it takes me to get up the nerve to dye her after she’s here, hahaha. Time to drown myself in research (for the fifth time, because I can never be too sure lol) 

ANYWAYS

I didn’t expect her to happen soon, nevermind before Olive v2 (who I am still waiting on) but I can also gleefully use her body to model clothes for the both of them since it’s the same. All the discontinuations got me in a tizzy because I have 85% feelings for a lot of them but I also really want to see what they release next. Ugghhh! I guess the DZ discontinuing had a silver lining and ultimately showed me the light. I’m super excited how everything fell into place!!!!!! 💦💦💦

Kobayashi's body arrived today! The colour match is terrible, I swear that head is too yellow for a pink body and too pink for a yellow one. But I love this body so much. It's a Doll Family H 63cm V3 and it poses beautifully, looks great and passes the plonk test. Don't tell Sasha but I think it may rival the Impldoll Model body...! We'll have to see about blushing it. Even if I have to buy a new head for it, I'm keeping this body. I hope I can make it work for my Little Rebel Svein tho cos I think he looks good on it.
