Bobobie is actually separate from Resin Soul. They are sister companies, but not the same. Bobobie is not as good to work with as RS. RS does do custom colors, color matching, and custom dolls at request. They're well known in the hobby and none of their dolls are recast because they're so low cost.
I believe the difference is that Resinsoul is the doll sculpting company & Bobobie is the casting company. Because the latter is the caster, there are very few exclusive sculpts, with most of the sculpts being from Resinsoul.
Gosh I cannot recommend Resinsoul enough! They are so great to work with! I’m currently working on a pink yosd girl. She has a Spring head, which is one of their deertaur dolls, but on their standard human yosd body. If you don’t think their sculpts are cute, look at some owner photos - their company photos do not do them justice! I have such a wishlist from them, especially Mei😍.
I got a True Love Aaron this year and can confirm they’re great dolls. The faceup on mine wasn’t super great but it was cheap so it’ll be fine until I can send it off for a custom one. They went on sale and have free shipping from New Clover Singing so they were right around $200 when I ordered mine. Perfect for someone on a budget or new to the hobby.
I, too, have a True Love doll. Mine's an Ivan, and he's AMAZING! The turnaround time was incredible, and I also bought through New Clover Singing. I can't recommend them enough!! I love his faceup, his posing, his sturdiness, his sculpt - everything! :)
I have a MYOU Michelle and Fairycastle puff. They are beautiful dolls, as well as a Doll Leaves Yoko.Fairycastle comes with kips in their joints and you get 3 pairs of hands and two sets of feet. Two sets of eyes and a bunch of goodies. I will warn people their normal skin is very light and their faceups are a lot more subtle then in their pictures but they are amazing quality dolls.
Ahh yes, I am trying to decide on a Myou doll, though I'm pretty strapped for doll funds right now. I really like the new girl with dark lipstick they came out with recently.
Thank you! I am new to the BJD Community and am loving these informative and very helpful TH-cam Channels. You make it easy for a newbie like me, and your videos are 'viewer friendly' and fun to watch. 💞 ~ Trisha
Can confirm Xun from ResinSoul is suuuuper cute! She's definitely a more "soft" or "delicate" sculpt than a lot of ResinSoul sculpts (at least the ones I've seen/held/worked on) and I think she definitely does fall into the "cute" category. And I have my eye on a couple DollLeaves MSDs, so thank you for mentioning them! I was a little apprehensive about them but it sounds like they're a good option. :) Thank you for this resource, love it!!
Mystic Kids is another company, they are 199 USD for blanks on Alices Collection and some of their sculpts are adorable! Though some company photos make them look wonky (cough cough Nicole's eyes) They also have 3 different body choices. I'm attempting to save for a Fairycastle Dove, I had emailed legenddoll to see how much shipping is and I was shocked but I suppose it's because their heavier than most cheaper msds, at least from what BallJointedSoulmates said. But between shipping and the cost of the doll itself it's still cheaper than my grail doll.
What does "face up" mean? All these dolls are so cute! I've been wanting to start collecting and have been watching a lot of videos about the hobby, dolls, which is best etc. Even the lowest price range will mean saving up for one, but I think it's totally worth it.
Fairycastle's official taobao has their minis listed at only about $160 blank. 😭It's a shame Taobao is so tricky to use internationally, it really opens up a lot of companies and makes them super affordable.
Hi, thank you for this video, I have been looking at them, but I did not have much information on them. I was not sure where to go or what to get. I am looking forward to watching your other videos.
I love Doll Leaves! I have 2-3 dolls! My one doll is 1/6... unfortunately I am having a tough time with her stringing😭😭😭 I love Maskcat 1/6 size, recently. They are not YOSD 1/6. They are like the size if a skipper with super small(Blythe sized) feet
Doll leaves is great, I have one in transit (in Chicago customs for almost a month now), and I have a 1/6 doll leaves! I have a Resin Soul, and I think a M-you,,,, great video, as usual!
I would really love a Fairy Castle Yugo and a True Love Tina. I'm still deciding who to order them through though - I've been hearing an increasing amount of bad things about Legend Doll recently so it does worry me.
My only bjd is a resinsoul I got at an anime convention. She is a green sea nymph. She is gorgeous but her giant ears make almost all wigs useless. Fair warning.

That's actually really good to know

Sisters not twins. Like eyebrows.

Mei was actually the doll that made me want to join the hobby and she was one of my firsts dolls! I love her so much!

This is a great guide for me. My sister is into BJD and I’ve always wanted one, but its so hard to choose! I do really like the resinsoul dolls.
I've never had a resinsoul, but I'd love to get one someday!

Try ordering from New Clover Singing. Shipping is free there and they’re a dealer for Fairy Castle

Face up is just painting the dolls face and makeup :) It is totally worth it!
Myou Zuzana and Doll leaves yoko are two of my favorite dolls.
They have been on my wishlist for a very long time.
Thank you for this list!

yesssss
The first ones look SOOO much like either Blue Fairy or Myou.

I sold this doll actually and she's also been stuck in customs for a month :O
Thanks..... I try and buy it but its supper expensive and with all the different fractions 1/3 1/6 it overwhelmed me.
Happy to help!
Custom factory or fake Blythes can be affordable to not everyone likes them cause they’re called fake but they can be pretty cute and good
so I've heard!
I would really love a Fairy Castle Yugo and a True Love Tina. I'm still deciding who to order them through though - I've been hearing an increasing amount of bad things about Legend Doll recently so it does worry me.
Legend DOll was great for me, and I got my True love Tina super quick. But I hear only great things about New Clover Singing!
You mentioned the “secondhand market”, do you have a link? I’d love to check it out for myself!

Do you know what 14cm correspond to our wig sizes?
I think 4-5 cm
Thanks
No problem
Gem of doll is also affordable.
Yes! And the bodies are super sturdy. I miss my Gem of Doll Girl.
Could you add links in the description?
