The third doll I ordered, but first to arrive since she was in-stock. Def ordered out of impatience, ha. Mirai is the first BJD I've ever laid hands on. I was a bit nervous about having to do her face-up but I think it turned out alright! I didn't want anything fancy. Which also sums up why I was alright with buying an $88 doll in the first place - nothing fancy, I just wanted to get my feet wet. BJDs, as I'm learning, are a whole different animal from mechanical joint dolls. Like, what even are glass eyes? Why do the pupils disappear? What is elastic and why did anyone ever think it was okay to use on a doll? We shall see, ha.
- Face-up artist(s):
- Owner
- Date of acquisition:
- 10 July 2021
- Provenance:
- Denver Doll Emporium
- Reason for choice:
- Cute droopy elf ears, in-stock, and sub-$100 price-tag including shipping
- Best Points:
- Droopy elf ears!! & her eye colour tends to change shades with lighting. Also her balance is actually pretty good, especially with shoes.
- Worst Points:
- Kicky & extremely limited posing, especially coming from Azone's Pure Neemo series...but kind of to be expected at the price point.
So we've learned her pupils disappear because her eyes are cones instead of spheres. Denver Doll Emporium said this isn't considered a defect so they won't do anything about it, so for now, Mirai has a character quirk.

It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice
