I’m so glad that am you shared these. I had wanted them before they were released but they’re not as cute as the promo images had me expecting. The eyes in particular. I’m relieved to see what their like.
It’s a very cute series and I think they’re more than worth the price but the issues are a turn off and I think a lot of people would not like them because of the issues!
@@xCanadensis I have so many of these cute BJD too, and all the doll competition for my money as well factors in to consideration. There’s only so much shelf space 🤩
yeah i agree with you on the skin tone thing, ive decided to only consider buying any of these if there's at least 2 characters in the lineup with dark skin. sadly this means ill be saving a lot of money because these companies seem to refuse to make any characters with darker skin.
It sucks that they’re not part of the actual blind box set but it’s great that they made them! I just don’t understand why it seems like a lot of these companies started off doing darker skinned dolls and have stopped? I follow them all and lots of doll creators on Chinese specific social media and the comments are always very positive and excited about different skin tones?
@@xCanadensis i know right? kikagoods even liked an old comment i made about how there was only one dark skin centaur so i thought maybe there would be something happening?
Thank you for introducing us viewers to Kikagoods! The dolls I've ordered have exceeded my expectations. Your endorsement is worth a lot to me as a consumer :)
Aw I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed them!! The dolls are so unique and their service is amazing so I really enjoy them as an influencer working with them and as a customer, they’re my go-to! I’m so glad I found them last year.
I was so excited when I found the red one on Ali for a super low price, but so disappointed when I noticed the stringing issues you mentioned... I disassembled her and covered the concave parts of all her joints with a thin coat of hot glue, that I then evened out with my heat gun. I restrung her a bit tighter, and she can now take and keep any pose amazingly well! I didn't even need to reinsert the wires in her legs. I 100% agree that this isn't for everyone, though. I much prefer dolls that pose well right out of the box! Another thing I wanted to note is that I replaced her long heavy wig with a shorter Nendoroid one. I'm not sure all of them would be compatible, but some are! I haven't finished the video yet, so maybe you figured it out, but the ball-like hand pieces are meant to help when putting sleeves on: a way to remove the hands without loosing the elastic string. Going back to watching now... It's so cool to see all the other members of the group! Thank you so much for presenting this type of dolls!
I’ve been in my xcanadensis era recently and been binge watching so many videos! I feel so seen - and I’ve also just ordered two of my childhood barbies from eBay that I so regret getting rid of! And ahh these dolls are so cute, I love the light blue hair one!!
Aw, I’m glad you managed to get them back! I’m still working on getting the last few I recall clearly back but I figured there’s no rush :) they’ll come home when they’re ready to
@@xCanadensis it feels more exciting when it takes a while to find something though I think! Even just as I’ve been researching and trying to find dolls I had, then seeing them online and then getting to remember all the details!! Eg finding wee3friends winter and my little pony loop de la!! Just finding them online was enough nostalgia for me for now!
If youre interested I'd really recommend the Nagi 3rd generation dolls. I have them and they're so cute. They're not strung and actually have pretty nice articulation (in my opinion).
Thank you! I haven’t ever bought any of the Nagi series dolls because I always prefer creature dolls but they are super cute and I definitely prefer MJD’s haha
Omg I got these awhile back and I will agree with the loose strings are annoying. I think the paint inside of the shoes annoys me the most! I found putting paint sealant helps, but my brush can’t get certain corners. Xie Xing has an alternate colored doll that has tan skin if you’re interested and she’s very pretty. I completely agree the rabbit ears annoy me too. Thinking of hot glueing but I’m worried about ruining the paint. I bought the hidden doll and I will warn she was very difficult to dress. ALSO! Your Yue Mian has the blue and white stripped sock! Lucky!
I think yours didn’t have a striped socks bc on the website it says the coloring fades. I was thinking about getting some and hope they fix it before I get them 😔
Loved this. I have the wolf girl Quiet wilderness. I was a little taken aback by the chemical smell she gave off,but it aired out after a few day's. She is very lose stringed but I am too scared to restring. I am fairly new to bjd's. But I love her regardless. Definitely not beginner friendly dolls. ❤but they are stunning and I truly hope their next release will be more polished. Thank you for sharing your honest review and opinion on these ❤❤❤ it helped me decide I will not be getting more from this specific series.
Needless to say was really glad for a video today but these dolls are not for me, so glad you are so honest about the flaws on these dolls. I bought 3 of the first ones you posted the School Days ones I believe they were, the ones with Weirdo in the line, I got the Green, Purple and Black and White dolls. One of the hands came off of one and it took forever to get the little hook in place to get the hand back on, I was near crazy. So yep saving money here, would sooner get a Blythe for 30 bucks off Amazon Japan, they are a lot less stressful lol. Thank you for the great review, you do detail so well.
Well yes, that’s something I point out! The reason I was confused is because it just doesn’t make sense to include the faces and /not/ any eyes! I think it would make more sense if the company that makes these sold kits with the faces and eyes? Other companies do this with hair packs, heads for wigs etc. just feels random, if that makes sense,
Hi! I've been looking for hours, and i can't find an answer, what size eyes do you think would fit? Also ive seen some ppl say 1/8 and 1/12 fit on them
Omg I’ve been eyeing the Wolf girl for months!! I even contacted kikagoods but unfortunately they don’t ship to my country 😢 also hearing of all those qc issues makes me reconsider… I saw another video about them where they said you can remove the wires and fix the Strings but idk if that’d actually work? Ty for the video tho :3
Oh no, I’m sorry :( they do ship a LOT of places but I assume there’s some countries with restrictions? You can restring, that’s what I kept bringing up - It’s just something I don’t think consumers should have to do minute one, if that makes sense? As a reviewer even if something is easily fixable I need to make sure people know as not everyone wants to have to fix stuff immediately! It’s something I’m scared of doing I will confess… I’m the type to attempt to fix something and then have it break worse 😭
Out of curiosity, how are you learning Chinese? College course, online class, private tutor, ect?? Are you learning Mandarin? and oh my, these dolls are cute, I like the more teen/mature body they went with for this line. 🥰 I'm going to bite the bullet one day soon and order some bjd from Kikagoods, I've been eying them for ages, especially the centaurs.
Kikagoods is a distributor that sends me product they distribute for review. I’m sure they’re available other places but I enjoy their service and they have good sales
You aren't the only person that though that, I thought the tops, skirts and leg warmers might fit when I saw them on the website. But when they arrived it was pretty obviously not going to work. The leg warmers would probably fir but would probably be way too short. I'll try it and try to get back to you
Is that a thing with these sorts of things? O.o I doubt they do... it just seems like a terrible material to use for these and China does have consumer protections too: ipen.org/news/china-adopts-new-lead-paint-standards-protect-children’s-health But I have no way to confirm unfortunately!
I was looking at there website and there's special figures and one is of the yellow girl with the fur but like in more blue and she has darker skin(not too dark tho) idk if you said this in the video
Yes! There’s lots of places to get the eyes thankfully :) But these dolls aren’t made by Kikagoods, they’re made by a different company. Doll customizing is very popular in China among these art toy circles so it is a cool inclusion - It’s just odd to come with such a big extra thing that you can’t use at all rather than using that budget to fix issues with the dolls you actually get! I do appreciate it though as I want to practice customizing but I suspect the majority of people buying these wouldn’t use them
I got mine another site but I 100% agree. They are worth their price, but I swear I'm going to glue their stuff on. I cannot get the dang bunny ears to stay at all. And... Can you get the hooks back on the hands? I was dressing one and the hook came off with the hand and I nearly started crying. I haven't gone back to see where the string went. I'm terrified to do that. :(
Oh no!! I’m always so afraid of that happening! I have NO idea how to restring but apparently it’s pretty easy? You need some kind of hook to hold the hand hook probably? I hope you can do it!! I lost one once But thankfully it was actually just in the elbow so I was able to work it back in
@@xCanadensis I fixed it this morning :) I stuck a needle thru the elastic once I found it? And slowly pulled it thru all the arm pegs. The "hands" with the long thing piece on the end is to help dress them! I put those on for all tight coats
i saw a review on tiktok and some comments on it that the plastic of the shoes melt into the plastic of dolls after a week or more so their feet already get stained,other qc issues too i think so im curious how yours are holding up
@@xCanadensis ohh i hope its just the paint :( , was very much looking forward to getting these until seeing the stringing issues since i have some motor skill difficulties in working with that
They’re great dolls otherwise but would use a lot of work to be able to be comfortable to play with, especially if fine motor skills are a concern! The Antu dolls are much better right out of the box. Also the Bonnie dolls are great! These have such a unique style so I really hope that the company that makes them can fix these issues, they seem like easy fixes!!
You are the reason I started collecting this type of dolls. I have around 20 of them, I think. They are definitely my new obsession and I'm always checking the new releases. Maybe they are a little loose so you can actually use the metal bars? If they were too tight, I would assume it would have been harder to pull the string out like that? Now, to my longer rant. I don’t know how I feel about this ones. Seeing them without the headbands made me realize how I much I dislike the animal theme. There are soooo many of this blind box bjds with animal ears that don't add anything. And it's usually the same animals. Feels like companies add the ears cause it's popular or to make the set more consistent as some easy fix. Which end up making them less unique. I like the clothing and the hairs a lot. This was the first series that i saw that had more volume to the hair. But I also feel like they are pretty incoherent. I've wondered if there was some misstranslation or cultural differences that made them seen quite off to me. I'm definitely missing something when it comes to all the crosses. The purple one has a console, cat ears, bat wings, crosses, and spiderweb, and is also supposed to have a freedom/escapism theme? Is she themred around "spooky" animals? If so, them I don't get how it fits. It's a little too much for me, as if there is some story I'm missing or they were throwing everything at her. I would have preferred if the concepts were a little simpler. Maybe just fashion and escapism. The red one is very pretty, maybe the ears don't want to stay cause they know she's cutter with butterfly motive only 😘
These dolls are adorable!! I just wish the hair stayed on better 🤦♀️ the putty works but they don’t come with enough for everything the putty could be used for
I have them all now that I’ve gotten them on clearance but I’m not going to be reviewing new MGA products until their CEO stops being openly and proudly racist and bootlicking for genocidal regimes. They’re beautiful dolls - the faces are great! I don’t like what they did to the legs, I was fine with the wrist thing but the legs thing is so stupid
@@xCanadensisI had figured it was rainbow high you weren't talking about anymore for some reason but I wasn't sure why (I don't really keep up with any behind the scenes things) so thanks for the info about that!

These dolls along with the eve lynna dolls are my most anticipated so far! Great video!
Thank you! I’ll have to look into those ones!
The little pegs are dressing hands! They make putting on sleeves much easier.
That’s so cool!! I was so confused ahaha
As soon as I saw this I ran to kikagoods and bought Xie Xing.
They’re SOOO cool I hope you got a good sale 🥺
I would use the putty to keep the hair & face on. They are very cute
It doesn’t work as good as you’d hope! I did use some later on in the video and it did help (:
I wish they would make Nendoroid doll middle finger hands. Those would be awesome
I want the yellow girl omg
I need these so bad!
They’re so you!!
The blank face is for customizing if you want and inset eyes.
Well yes, that’s something I point out! The reason I was confused is because it just doesn’t make sense to include the faces and /not/ any eyes!

I have the blue one and o hooked the little headpiece to the bows and it fits fine
Omg I love 10000 escape plans :D
What I do when the hair pieces come off too easily is I use a tiny amount of mounting putty between the two pieces. That easily fixes it!
Out of curiosity, how are you learning Chinese? College course, online class, private tutor, ect?? Are you learning Mandarin? and oh my, these dolls are cute, I like the more teen/mature body they went with for this line. 🥰 I'm going to bite the bullet one day soon and order some bjd from Kikagoods, I've been eying them for ages, especially the centaurs.
I’m taking a class in person! It’s so fun :D I’m not very good at it… I am doing mandarin!
The centaurs are AMAZING I cannot recommend them enough!!
So these are only available on the Kika Goods website? Any other platforms?
Kikagoods is a distributor that sends me product they distribute for review. I’m sure they’re available other places but I enjoy their service and they have good sales
Does the clothes fit bratz dolls? The body seems pretty similar to bratz in proportions
They’re a lot smaller! Maybe bratz kids
@xCanadensis seeing them in comparison with your hands they looked like bratz. Sorry 🙈
Please don’t apologize, you did nothing wrong! I think maybe I just have really small hands?
You aren't the only person that though that, I thought the tops, skirts and leg warmers might fit when I saw them on the website. But when they arrived it was pretty obviously not going to work.

I doubt they do... it just seems like a terrible material to use for these and China does have consumer protections too: ipen.org/news/china-adopts-new-lead-paint-standards-protect-children’s-health
But I have no way to confirm unfortunately!
Oh I love these dolls! Have you bought any of the UF 1/6 dolls from Kikagoods? I love them
I haven’t yet!! They’re so cute
I was looking at there website and there's special figures and one is of the yellow girl with the fur but like in more blue and she has darker skin(not too dark tho) idk if you said this in the video
I wasn’t covering the special edition ones so I just consider the blind box line itself in the video. I hope that makes sense?
💗
Don't they also sell sets of eyes for cheap too? I think I've seen them on the website so that's probably why the inset eye face mold
