BEEMAI Liroro Summer Island Series 1PC 1/12 BJD Dolls Cute Figures Lolita Style Collectibles Birthday Gift

I've been looking at these BEEMAI 1/12 BJD blindboxes for a while now, but I never settled on any of the ones I saw because there would always be a something about the set that just didn't match my desires in a BJD enough to justify buying. Enter this set with eyes that aren't painted on, mouths that aren't all O's, reasonable head accessories, a primarily pastel color palette, etc... What I'm trying to say is that the second I laid eyes on the girls in this set, I knew I wanted to take the plungeWhen I get blindboxes, I always make a tier list saying how desirable each figure is, ranging from "want the most" to "upset if I got this one." On the very tippy top of my list was Wildness, her design being absolutely perfect in my opinion! On the other hand, there was only one in this set that would've made me sad if I'd gotten her: Night. I thought her outfit was basic and the contrast of her outfit was unappealing to me, even so, I wouldn't have been too upset, I probably would've just made her new clothesSo I placed my order and very impatiently waited for it to arrive. It arrived just today and I very excitedly ran the box up to my room to pop it open! I ended up getting Tea Party, and even though her open mouth put her in my "okay with it" tier, I found myself amazed at just how cute she is in real life! Her dress is incredibly well made and the baby blue compliments her light brown hair so perfectly! I couldn't be happier and seeing her now has me bumping her up to "like a lot!" Well, I actually could be happier, but that would only be in the case of getting one of my favorites!As for the BJD: I was so thankful to see her headwear is magnetized on as I didn't really want to display her with it. Her knee and elbow joints are double jointed (yay!) and she comes with 3 pairs of easily interchangeable hands (heart, pinchy, and paws), 2 extra left hands (peace and pointing), and the already attached default pair. You won't have to string her yourself, all you need to do is pop her hair on and dress her up! Admittedly, I did find it a bit hard to get her socks on and suspect they'd fall right off if I took the shoes off, but that's the price to pay to have such a teeny tiny cutie! She's very top heavy, but with enough fiddling around, you can get her to stand without support. She also came with a display card and a sticker sheet so you can put her clothes on 2d and 3dIt's safe to say I will definitely be getting another one day! I'm overjoyed with this one and I really hope I'll get my beloved Wildness next time around!

I lucked out and got one of the ones I really wanted from this set, but I’d have been happy with any. The quality is great! They are a little top heavy so it’s a little tricky to get her to stand on her own, but not impossible. If you’ve ever owned figmas, it’s kinda like that without the stand. :)Highly recommend.Only ‘con’ would be if you’re a person who doesn’t like ‘follow me’ eyes on dolls, their eyes have that effect. I think it’s cute and less effort to take a cute picture.

EDIT: Tried buying one more doll to see what condition she'd come in. I got Night, who I wanted most, and for the most part she's in good shape beyond a bit of what I think was maybe dirt or similar on her cheek, which came off easily enough with a cotton swab with dish soap on it. So my experience with one of the dolls doesn't seem to be the norm, but it's worth pointing out anyway.I normally don't buy dolls like this (my adult collecting of this sort of thing over the years has mainly been restricted to nendroids and some other figures from franchises I like, mostly small, a few bigger), but something about the design of these dolls was cute enough to catch my eye and compel me to gamble the $30 or so with tax to see what I got.The quality was pretty decent for what I paid... though I was unlucky in that I got the one I wanted the least (that being Lemon). She's growing on me a bit now though. Other than a little bit of a stain on the bow of her dress (I didn't even notice it until tonight, I don't think it even shows up in the photo with this review very well or at all) and a bit of loose thread on her bow (which was easily solved with some fabric scissors), she came in good shape. Her flaws are not what I'm rating 4 stars for, as they're pretty minor manufacturing errors.As I got the one I wanted the least, I decided to try again. This time I got one of the ones I wanted most, that being Tea Party... and here we get into why I deducted a star. The most obvious flaw was some sort of brown substance on her cheek, arm, and ear (maybe some rogue paint, or a really stubborn dirt or soot stain?). Most of it came off, and thankfully without compromising her blush, to the point it's not really visible in the picture, but there's still a tiny bit left on her cheek.There's also a bit of chipping with her eyes. Thankfully, it's not too noticeable, and it took examining her face with a flashlight to see if I'd gotten most of the paint to notice it, but it's there. Also her hair pieces are a bit loose compared to Lemon's, to the point it fell off a couple times while I was trying to dress her, but that's not as big of a deal. Given Lemon was just fine for the most part, it could be that I just got... well, a lemon, but it's still worth noting, and I've still deducted a star in case.Overall though, these little guys are pretty cute. The dresses are pretty good quality for the most part, it's nice the little headbands are magnetic, and the dolls themselves seem to be pretty decent quality. It was also easy enough to get their little dresses and socks and shoes on. However, with Lemon's collar, I did have to temporarily take her head off, which was easy enough since the face place and hair pieces work basically like nendroid head parts do.As at least one person has noted, these dolls are top heavy, so while they can technically stand up on their own, if you don't want them to fall over, be prepared to either lean them against something, buy a doll stand for a doll their size, or get a doll chair for them to sit in. Also as another person noted, their eyes are the type to follow you, so if that creeps you out... maybe consider another doll line. It doesn't bother me too bad, but your mileage may vary.These guys are my first ball jointed dolls (or bjds, as they are often called), so I'm going to leave a few thoughts on that specific aspect of that in case there's others buying these dolls who are also new to bjds.First of all, while they come with lots of hand parts, don't expect an easy swap like with nendroids. I haven't be brave enough to swap out hand parts yet, but I suggest looking up a tutorial on how to do it with bjds before attempting it, as it involves taking the elastic used to give the dolls their jointed movement and restringing it through the new hand part.Second of all, while they're pretty posable, I did have trouble with some poses, so keep that in mind. Possibly their much more expensive, larger bjd counterparts have a greater range of movement, but I don't have one as of writing this review, so I can't do that comparison. They're still pretty posable though, at least more flexible than something like a nendroid, so still a win?Thirdly, it's possible that, like all bjds, they might need a restring at some point. From what I read however, I wouldn't worry about it until the dolls start to go limp, and/or you hear joint grinding when trying to pose them. It should hopefully not be for awhile, but it's something to keep in mind. Like with the hands, I'd look up a tutorial on how to do this once the time comes.Overall, despite my bad luck in some aspects, I do think these dolls are worth it. Stray paint (or whatever it was on Tea Party and Night's faces) seems to be a bit of a risk, but beyond that, they're pretty decent quality. My particular Tea Party seems to be a lemon, and not reflective of general quality, but it's worth pointing out what condition she was in just in case another customer has a similar experience.If you read this whole long review, thanks for taking the time, and if you purchased one of these dolls for yourself, enjoy!

The doll is very cute and love the looks of it. I stumble upon it when looking at different bjd dolls here. It sucks that it’s a blind box because I would love to buy the whole set. While the one I got is the one I didn’t want(Summer Lemon), I’ve grown to love her. The clothes are made wonderfully, the hair is nice even when it’s not brushable, and love the movability this doll has. Also the inset eyes are amazing. Though I do have a few issues with it. The dress I got for this particular doll has a very small bow unlike some others that have her and it’s tied weirdly. I managed to fix it, but it sucks I have this issue(might edit it to show some pictures soon). Also it’s very hard to change the hands. It’s best to get a toothpick to go in the middle of the band and keep it there until you got the hands you want for her. Overall, I love her and hope to buy the whole set one day(maybe a review for it lol) and if I got the same doll from the single box I bought, I’ll give to my sister :)

I remember when getting dolls like these was a 6 month wait and $100+ dollars. I bought this thinking it was too good to be true... the doll is perfect and I actually really like the plastic hair. She stands on her own, has double elbow and knee joints, is stringed together and comes with several hands. I will definitely buy more!

Merveilleuse !
