Photos (of naked dollies) and text is below the break!
These dolls were purchased from the artist via a Taobao shopping agent. I joined a group order for a lot of 6 blind boxes, which gave us a discounted purchase price of $40 USD per doll. I ordered 2 dolls (one was going to be a gift for a friend, but when I casually showed an image of these cuties, she wasn’t interested, so I got her something else and kept the spare doll for myself, haha).
This was a preorder and there were some production delays, so it took around 3.5 months for these dolls to arrive to me.
The Blind Box Fairies are randomly packaged. There are 8 possible styles available, with the cream-coloured fairies being common, and the purple/jet-black fairies being very rare. The fairies have different expressions and pointed elf ears. The jet-black fairy has bat wings. Only 1 “mystery” doll was made, which supposedly contained a real diamond.
The dolls are blank, nude base dolls. They do not come with eyes, wig, or clothes. Each doll was packaged with a waterslide decal set to apply eyebrows and lashes to the doll’s face. Both my dolls came with the same decal sets.
When my group order participants were making requests for which styles they would prefer, I said I would prefer the ones with “teeth”. Luckily, our set of six contained both visible teeth styles, and I got them! I’ve been calling them “shark” and “fangs”.

Both dolls have the same pear-shaped, genderless body. It has double joints in both the knees and elbows. The thighs have a swivel joint for rotating the legs. The joints fit well together and moved smoothly. The elbows and knees both ‘lock’ into place, allowing the doll to hold poses and stand without crumpling.
Personal preference: I found the doll’s back sculpting to feel kind of hollowed out and flattened, especially in the spine area, which I wasn’t a fan of. It seemed out-of-place compared to the plump volume of the rest of the doll’s body sculpting. The doll’s crotch area was oddly squared off and flattened (didn’t match the rest of the sculpting style). At first I assumed it was for stability while sitting, but in practice the doll rests on the back of the hip/leg joints, with the squared off area elevated above the sitting surface. So, I’m not sure what the purpose of that design is.
It was easy to balance the doll on its feet and it could stand on its own. The doll could be posed in a sitting position with knees bent; it did not lean back or tip to one side.
The doll could also balance and remain upright when seated on a flat surface. The knee joint pieces are straight and the knees appear squared-off when in a fully folded position.
The head back is attached with sufficiently strong magnets and the cap sits flush with the rest of the head. There are 3 grooves inside the head which the s-hook can fit in. The dolls each had a silicone friction disc in the joint between the head and neck. The heads take a size 7″ doll wig.
Compared to other 1/6 size ABJDs, the Fenjiexian Fairies are slightly taller and have different proportions. The upper body is slightly narrower, while the lower body is wider, especially in the waist, hips, and legs. The arms and legs are slightly longer and their feet are slightly smaller than the YoSD standard.
I had some trouble dressing this body in standard-size YoSD clothing. Dresses with gathered skirts, or stretchy/loose-fitting clothing may fit this body, but custom-made clothing would likely fit best. As a seamstress, this is no trouble for me, but if you don’t sew please keep in mind you may have trouble finding clothes that fit this body well.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this post was informative if you are considering purchasing one of these dolls for yourself!
