Today I found these blind boxes for sale (1€ each) and wanted to give them a try.
To be honest I never heard of the before. They seem to be part of an online game or something and were produced by Simba. The reason I picked them up was that they reminded me of vinyl toys like the ones by kidrobot.
Here are the two I got. They stand 4,5 cm tall.
Overall there are 9 characters, each in two poses. So overall 18 different to collect.
Of course they are not as well made and painted as kid robot stuff, but they tsill look very neat, especially for the low price.

J-Doll - Rossi Street by Jun Planning
I got her in January after I found an ebay store who got J-Dolls for about 40€. Store store I bought my Bunny Nun sells them for nearly 100€ so I thought it was a good deal. I thought about getting a human-like J-doll for awhile, but they were just too expensive for me to buy one at such a high price.
Well...after browsing the ebay store I choose this lovely Ballerina :)
A close up of her face. The head sculpt and the eyes are simply georgeous!
I also love her outfit and color scheme. A true letdown however is the body...the joints just don't look nice and there are two iron screws in her back. I really don't understand how they can make such detailed outfits and faces and then do a body like that :/
With the other dolls of this lineit's not as obvious because they are fully clothed and the arms and the back are not visible.
I missed taking a pic in box...but here's the back of the box.
She only comes with the doll stand, some nude colored ballerina slippers (no plastic shoes), a hair band and a simple nude colored leotard.
I think the J-Dolls are a true alternative for people like me who do like BJDs but are on a low budget or who simply don't want to spend hundred of euros on a doll like that.
