Joy doll discussion

The preorder for Jose and Jacob has just opened on Taobao. Here is Joydoll's announcement post on Weibo.

According to the post, both Jose/Jacob will be available in two sizes: for 68-72cm bodies (cost: 588rmb or Chinese yuan) and for 75cm bodies (cost: 668rmb). These two heads are different sizes and take different sized eyes. The Taobao preorder is open from now until 18 August, about a month duration.

If you buy direct from Taobao, you'll have to make two payments: the deposit (right now) and the balance later when it's ready for shipping. You may be able to pay in full right away by buying both deposit and balance listings, that's what I did when I bought Lai direct from Taobao. But you'll have to check the TB listings for Jose/Jacob to see if that's available. (For the record, I bought Lai for 588rmb.)

Joydoll usually posts preorder information in English on her Instagram about a day or two later, keep an eye on that. UPDATE: EN-language preorder info on Instagram

Oh, I think you're correct, I might be misremembering the first Jakki release and it was 1/6 after all.

 

I purchased Jacob using SpreeNow as my proxy and my order + local shipping + proxy fees was $110USD. I'm anticipating probably another $20 or so once production is complete for shipping to me.

In CN¥, the base price for the head is 658¥ (258¥ for the initial deposit and 400¥ for the final payment, you can do both at the same time if you like). Hope that helps!

 

@Thespian @aihre thank you so much for your information!
I managed to preorder too. Mine was $95 for a Jacob in 68-70cm size. But I think my shopping service (yoybuy) only includes the taxes when it's time to ship, I think

 

Another female Lai here. I finally finish her. Love the versability of the mold

​

 

Oshidori (Lai x 2D68girl) this spring ... she's had this new faceup for a while.

 

I recently got back into BJDs, and found Joydoll's newest sculpts - recently ordered the Jose head, I hope everything goes smoothly!

 

sharing another picture of my shaman (Lai on mirodoll 65 body) who still has no name but has a new faceup and FINALLY proper clothes

 

Oh hi! Another Jose, yay! I feared I was the only one who ordered him... Did you hear something yet?

 

Sadly haven't heard anything yet, I ordered him at the tail end of his sale period so I don't expect to be getting any news soon

 

I ordered by the end of July, so not very much earlier, I used SPO. I forgot how long they said they were probably going to take - do you remember?

I only saw Jacob orders before. Jacob's certainly conventionally prettier, I guess? But I felt intrigued by Jose's quirky beauty so much, you know?

 

For some reason, I liked Jose's look more. And, I don't know why think Jacob looks a bit like Tobey McGuire

 

I believe they said 3-6 months? So we're getting close to that, should hopefully get info soon!

I agree, Jacob is pretty but I love how Jose looks! I love unconventional heads, and I think Jose is absolutely stunning - all the promotional pictures were beautifully taken!

 

I absolutely agree, about his looks, his picures and unconventional heads in general^^ I loved how Jose is like a new doll person with every new look, even though his features are so distinctive. I can only hope to bring out even a tiny bit of that beauty with my amateur face up

Yep, with any luck we're getting close. For Xmas would be nice!!!!
I secretely hope he will fit the new ANS71 boy body, that would be so neat.
Do you already have a body in mind?

@tinyflame Right?!^^

 

Would be a lovely holiday present if he arrived by then!
I got the smaller sized head, so I was hoping he'd fit onto an old Loongsoul 68 body I have - the measurements were similar! The skin tones don't quite match, but nothing some faceup and body blushing work shouldn't fix!

 

Right there with you on all points with my ANS71 boy bod. I also ordered the smaller version of Jose. I have a Loongsoul73, and if your LS68 is anything like that, your Jose will be a very happy boy )) Another great reason to come home soon...

 

I got the email from SpreeNow to pay the shipping invoice for my Jacob, so it should be on its way home to me soon! I'm stoked to add such a beautiful sculpt to my collection.

 

Shipping notice for my Jose head, yay!!! This is gonna be my first foray into Joy doll land.
His intended body was under my Xmas tree as a gift, now I can't wait to see if he fits

@Insmas You?

 

Glad to see a thread for Joydoll! My boy Jose came in a couple weeks ago with his body from Dollsphere. He's so gorgeous, I can't wait to work on his face!!

 

Another Jose Pictures, pretty plz?

 

I still need to figure out a body for the Jose I got! I have been keeping an eye on secondhand sales hoping something suitable might magically pop up.
