Chinese Fashion Doll Xinyi

Check out this awesome doll I bought online. Her name is Xinyi though I've seen this model sold with different head types under different names. She is a 27cm (11 inch) lightweight articulated doll. Her head and body are hard plastic, I had to be careful at first bending her new joints because they were nice and stiff and I didn't want to break her, although she's a sturdily-made doll. It's advisable for best result to warm up her joints with hot or warm water if desired to change her head or hands and feet. I bought my doll from China I believe they are also available from Hong Kong, Taiwan and possibly a few other places.
I'm going to have a blast making her a couple of outfits.

The seller I bought this doll from was really awesome and included a bag of goodies and a stand that is perfect for the doll. The glasses make her look very sophisticated.

She has big beautiful brown 3d eyes and her head is fully hair plugged with high quality silky nylon hair, beautiful and soft.

I purchased my doll on eBay having found her listing by searching under Supersize Nude Doll Long hair 14 Joint DIY Barbie 3d Eyes.
These dolls have been available on Ali Express for a while now, easily locatable under Xinyi doll, Chinese fashion doll, jointed doll etc. I've also seen different styles of hands for this model sold separately, I wouldn't mind getting some of those.

Her hands are amazing each digit is separated and well sculpted.

She has a generation two body that has more joints and flexibility in the knees and pointy Barbie-type feet. The first body has flat feet with more articulation in the ankle.

WOW, what range of motion! She could join the anime Kaleido Star!!

I purchased the large bust model which is why her bust is so accentuated. She is also available with a small bust.

The only markings I could find on the doll are on the back, which read 'Y L Made In China'.

Made a Halloween outfit for her!!!

Wasn't easy making a top for a large chest doll, but it came out pretty good anyway!!!

Got another one of these amazing doll shortly after my first one.
I also made the some Christmas dresses for them.

She has super long hair that has more coarse texture similar to wefit hair and blue eyes.

My second doll has a small bust in comparison to my first doll.

She also has flat feet, so awesome. Most of the newer Barbie shoes fit these dolls.

I'm very pleased to have both bust sizes and foot types to these dolls.





Korean Cherry Dolls Cute Pink Cat Jury & Cutie Rabbit Cherry by ONE&ONE

OMG love this new doll I bought online she is so kawaii. She comes with a pink polka dot dress with a double-layered skirt decorated with lace, a bow and a tiny bell, silver flower earrings, a white kitty ear headband, white kitty paw gloves with embroidered pads, white and pink detailed boots and a cat handbag with nicely embroidered details and a decorative bow. The handbag is double-layered, allowing it to functionally hold small objects. This doll is a definite must have for any collector who loves large-headed dolls, big eyes or cute kawaii things. Her reasonable price range also enables her to make a great gift for a child.







On the back of the box all of the available dolls in this line are shown. They are labeled in Korean, so I'm guessing a bit, but they seem to include, from left to right, a School Girl Cherry doll, a School Girl Jury doll, a Cute Pink Cat Jury doll, a Cherry doll wearing comfortable casualwear with shopping bags, a Ballerina Cherry doll, a Bride Cherry doll and a Princess Cherry doll. They are all so cute. I personally also like the School Girl Jury and the Casualwear Cherry dolls as well.

The Cutie Rabbit Cherry doll is like Valentines day and Easter mixed together in a box.


More Cherry dolls have been released, and I just had to have Cutie Rabbit.




I really love that Cute Pink Cat Jury is a peachy pink and Cutie Rabbit Cherry is a softer pink.

Cardboard & Paper Mache Doll House for Pullip, Momoko, Jenny, Licca, Obitsu, Barbie, Blythe, BJD, other and etc

Most of the doll box rooms I made fell apart. After seeing an amazing video on YouTube I recycled them along with more cardboard and made a sturdy doll house to keep the furniture I made in. 
It came out so well that I'm making a second one for the rest of the stuff.





Decorating the walls later with shelves, scrapbook paper, stickers, cards and pictures that I have received.


Already mostly done building the second house.




This room may end up being a bakery with great storage for some of my re-ment stuff.

Lelia Whirling Dancer Doll

To day I received my first authentic Lelia doll in the mail. I have many cool Lelia-related dolls in my collection but they are not quite like this one. She is about 26cm in height has really skinny legs. Her arms and legs are bendable, her body reminds me of Licca's and her head is a bit bigger than my first two Lelia-type dolls.







The inside of her package says Love Angel (so cute!!!)






I had some shoes that came with some doll outfits I got from the Dollar Tree a year ago that didn't fit any of my dolls but fit her perfectly

My first two fakie Lelias with jointed Barbie bodies, cool hair and different anime-style eye paint.

Two dolls I also got recently that have bigger heads than the rest of my Lelias and big brown acrylic realistic eyes similar to Liv dolls. I believe they are fakie versions of 3d-eyed Lelia and friend dolls I have seen for sale online. I had purchased the pink-haired head by itself and the body separately, the other doll was sold with body but was able to I choose which head I wanted.
