Blossom Doll Discussion

I love the two new dolls! Their colors are so beautiful and the makeup and costumes are really unique. I hope Blossom Doll keeps coming up with this type of doll.

On another note, I got an email from the company this morning saying that my Hyacinth is shipping so I should have her within a few days!

 

Congratulations, L. Mermaid! I hope you like her as much as I like my Molly. I love the two new girls and am thinking about getting one. But there are girls from other companies that I like too so I just can't make up my mind.

 

Just discovered this company and have fallen in love with Olanda... their website is confusing to me. Do you email them directly to order? Is it possible to get just a naked doll with no faceup? I really love their delicate aesthetic,

 

I'm pretty sure I just used the site form when I ordered from them, but they are very good about communication so if you need to email them it shouldn't be a problem.
And I think you can get a blank doll.
I like the quality and style of the girl I have but it took me awhile to get used to her thinness. She's quite a different body type than my other girls.

Yes, I am in the same position! I think they are both really unique and so pretty. But I'm contemplating an Iplehouse doll and a Dollmore doll right now too so I don't know what to do! I will wait until Hyacinth gets here and make sure I like her first.

 

Hi!
Signing on, as I just ordered an Olanda head in NSY. I didn't use Blossom-Doll, as they charged more for shipping than Jeeryama on eBay, and Jeery (DollSinging I think his store is called) uses EMS shipping rather than FedEx or DHL which have rather dicey service and extra fees if you live overseas. ^^;;

I had to order using the Molly head form, though, so hopefully they won't send me the wrong head!! I had been emailing back and forth with them about this, so hopefully they'll send the right one!! XD

I loved the painted version of her, but wasn't so sure about the blank... but I wanted a pretty and interesting Chinese girl and so I decided to give her a try!

Not sure what body I'll use for her... maybe my avatar girl's, or maybe something else. I liked the Blossom-Doll body, maybe if I love the head a lot, I'll order it.

/blab

 

Oh cool Raven! I am glad to see someone ordered one of the newer releases. Their communication is good so hopefully you will get the right head!

 

I liked the previous Blosdom dolls, but Gine has me captivated! Looking forward to coming back and reading this whole thread.

 

I totally love the new SD girls. Olanda has such a nice asian look and Gine.. well Gine has my name, lol.

Way to go ravendolls! So it is possible to get just a blank head of Olanda. I've fallen in love in her and want her, but I want another body.

Yay I'm excited to see yours!

 

Hi!
These dolls are beautifull! Especially their faces! What's their head size? Could they perhaps fit a dollstown body?

I'm thankful to any answers!

 

According to Think Pink the head size is 21-21,5cm and the neck size is 9cm.

 

After holding a BlossomDoll girl (Iris) I totally fell in love with these dolls. I think the body is a nice alternative to the more natural, substantial girl bodies that have been all the rage for the last years (Iple...). The body is model-slim, though manages to not look starved or anorexic, like the Doll Chateau big girls can do, and the long slim legs still have a nice shape to them, they are not just sticks like so many slimmer girl types used to have.

The only thing I can find that *could* be improved maybe is the high heel foot - it is only slightly more arched than the flat foot and cannot wear the higher heel shoe types. But that's a question of personal taste too I guess^^ I like their feetses anyway^^

What do you think of the new limiteds BD put up? I like Molly's new make over.

 

idalupi Yep, they do ^-^, my Molly is actually on a DT 13 old body; the proportions are just wonderful and the skin match between the DT pale and the Blossom white is pretty nice, I can take some pics eventually.

 

I share your love, as you know, Manda... *coughs* Um, yes, I know, I'm guilty of infecting you with the Blossom Doll virus. I like the body, even if it's not the best posing. BD is still a young company, I guess some things will change along the way too.

I'm totally smitten by the tan Molly! If my second girl wasn't already ordered I'd be very much in danger.

 

I was seriously considering getting Olanda but went back to see if there was anything new on the site and was met with Molly II! I love my white-skin Molly and this red-tan one is so different. Now I'm not sure what to do.

 

I got my Olanda head, and then got her the body, too!

The Olanda head is a bit on the small size for an SD head, and large heads are a must for me. I kinda thought that might happen, but thought her worth a try!

The body is really lovely! A nice mid-point between something as stylized as Doll Chateau, but not as 'natural' as, say Volks. I think she stands really well, though I don't ever leave my dolls posed standing, so I don't know how she'd do left standing for long periods of time or whatever.

She's very elegant and chic, model-like! Unfortunately that's not my kind of thing at all. I'm into homely oddballs, and I just think she deserves to be with someone who'll give her the clothes and accessories I think she deserves. ^_~


I'm also curious... does anyone know if their BD NS head or body matches Fairyland NS?

 

Hi ravendolls, my experience with Hyacinth is similar. Her body is wonderful-very lithe and slender and long-limbed but her head is on the small side and her features are a bit too masculine for my taste. I'm going to keep her for a bit longer and see if she grows on me. Sometimes a change of wig/eyes/clothes is all it takes.

One note of caution for those of you who order directly from the company-my doll took FOREVER to get here. I posted that she shipped in mid-October and after three weeks, I contacted Blossom Doll to let them know I hadn't received her yet. I believe they sent her via China post but I'm not sure as they never gave me a tracking number. Somehow, the doll ended up being sent back to China customs and this time they re-shipped her using Fed Ex. They gave me a tracking number and she got here in three days. So you may want to request that they ship with Fed Ex if you order direct. It seems to be a more reliable shipper than whatever other company they use.

 

Have you all seen that Blossom Doll has released yet another girl, Anemone?!

I wish they'd stop tempting me with their unique creations - my Olanda has just arrived and here's the next beauty! Well, one can't own every gorgeousdoll, sadly...

Blossom Doll are awesome, though I ordered through Winddolls I got my doll before Christmas. I also asked them to tell me if the Chinese name I had planned for my Olanda (Xingmai) would sound okay or silly to Chinese ears and they replied and said it was a nice name.

ravendolls, I don't think Blossom Doll NS will match Fairyland. I don't have my dolls here right now, but BD is more on the yellow side while FL is rather peachy or pinkish if I remember correctly.

 

Has anyone done a good review on the bodies posability? I LOVE the sculpt of this doll but the last doll I paid this kind of money for (my Zaol basic luv) had the worst posing I have EVER seen in a doll. I still love my Zaol, but I don't want to shell out 480-506 on another doll that cannot pose very well. I find the video reviews on youtube Very helpful when looking into doll bodies, but the Blossom dolls don't seem to have any yet.
