Anna's dolls, Resin BJD by Anna Kucherenko (annak dolls , annas doll)

I love these dolls, so beautiful! One of them actually looks like my Daughter in Law, a retired Ballerina. Any idea of their cost?

 

I just found one of these dolls, with three beautiful face plates, secondhand. I am so excited to receive her (have to pay down a layaway first)! I am surprised they are not discussed very much online/among 15-17” fashion doll collectors, I think they are among the most beautiful I’ve seen. She has said on Instagram that she won’t be casting these same resin dolls again, I’m excited to see what new dolls she develops.

 

The dolls come with different face plates of the shape sculpt?

 

I’m not sure if I understand your question! But for this model of resin doll she made one body, and four different faces (FE1, FE2, FE3, and FE4) and the original purchaser bought 3 out of 4. Hopefully her next doll will have that option too, I love being able to buy multiple faces or heads for one body.

 

Oh, I see! That's pretty exciting actually! I hope she does have that option for her next preorder! Can you please update us on your doll once you get her? I would love to hear about the quality and posing!

 

I definitely will!

 

I got my doll and she is absolutely gorgeous. Her sculpt is so detailed and realistic, both body and all three faces. She came with hot glue sueding and holds a variety of poses firmly. She has flat feet and can balance and stand solidly unassisted. I can’t wait to make wigs, paint her and dress her but I’m still learning how to do all those things, so it will be a long process before I have finished photos to share haha.

Anna debuted the master model of her new resin doll with a totally new body and three new faces a few days ago on Instagram. I love the faces, but honestly I like the old body a lot better- the new one is more thin and frail looking. I also prefer the jointing on the old body. But the new one is definitely very beautiful and graceful.

ETA: I bought this doll 8mm eyes with small 3mm irises and they look very real, which is what I prefer. It gives her a much different look than in Anna’s photos with the large irises.

 

please share some photos of the doll with the different faces and their new eyes whenever you get the chance (finished or not lol)!

I prefer the old body's jointing and look too. It was much curvier, and I liked the waist joint. I'm kind-of sad it looks so different now. The new faces are cool, though! do they fit on the old body, I wonder?

 

I don’t think they will, her new line of dolls is smaller (still 1/4 scale but the head circumference is only 11cm vs 12.5cm for the doll I have).

Her faces are incredible, I love the new ones.

I have to start taking more pictures of my dolls! But here is one of just my face plates with the eyes Login • Instagram

 

I admire Ukrainian doll masters!

 

I was wondering the same thing. Why aren't these dolls more popular or well-known? I guess that this is my gain because I get to buy them all :p But I find them as beautiful and as well made as Tender Creation and Loseva dolls. I am mentioning these two artists because they are very well known and their dolls cost a lot of money. I admire Anna's doll as much as the Nanyalin dolls, Chimera dolls, Pashapash or Popovy sisters. I honestly cannot see where they are lacking and yet not many people seem to know about them. Their price is prohibiting, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to the right collector they are worth every penny! Anyway hopefully I will be receiving my first AnnaK doll soon, she in on her way to mey and I will be posting a million pictures (I hope).

I did notice though, that earlier iterations of her dolls had a shoulder joint and a neck joint, which they don't have anymore. Maybe that is why people don't prefer them as much. I found this as one of their winning points since I do like the extra mobility but I also like simple beautiful lines and the neck and shoulder joints really bother me aesthetically. So Annak's dolls were the perfect doll for me. The aesthetics that I like with the amount of possibility I am satisfied with.
