MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

I have a few questions...

I have DuDu and Feng Linger in Normal, but would really prefer them in the coffee colour. - I think. Does anyone own any coffee coloured dolls they could post a photo of?

And does Myou ever offer a sale around this time of year?

And what are their waiting times like?

 

I have a Myou doll in coffee colour. It is a beautiful light tan, compared to the normal colour it's much more lifelike. I added a couple of pictures in the spoiler tag below. The picture with the hoodie on her head is probably the closest to how it looks in real life.

They often have sales, I think it has just ended yesterday. But a new one will probably start soon for the Christmas period. They are rather quick too, I think my Tuotuo was ready in three months? I'm not sure now.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I had ordered my two dolls quite some time ago to become toddlers for a Fashion sized couple, and the normal resin colour is just too pale. I thought the coffee colour would match the parents way better, and from your photos I'm thinking it would be way more lifelike.

I'm not in a huge hurry, since the children they will become are just babies at the moment. So I'll wait to see when they start a Christmas sale. With the way our dollar is compared to the US dollar these days, every saving helps.

 

If you go the Myou website they list their legit stockists - including their taobao site which I’ve found is MUCH cheaper than Alice’s Collections, for example, even if they’re having a sale! Well, for shipping to Australia and in our currency anyway. Worth checking out! MYOU BJD娃娃

 

Thank you. That's the website I went to originally and where I discovered that the dolls can be ordered in different resin colours. I got my two little kids from Junky Spot almost two years ago, and didn't realize at the time that 'Normal' wasn't the only option.

 

I think when I ordered my other Myou doll back in 2017 the only options were normal, pink, and white. Maybe there was darker tan too but that cost extra. The light tan/coffee was introduced shortly before I ordered my Tuotuo in late 2021.

If I buy another doll from this company, I'm definitely getting it in coffee colour. I'm really happy with it, especially as it's almost the same tone as my own skin

 

@MB Lilac, Coffee is a light tan, it’s such a pretty, smooth color. It is like a light, soft beige. I had one but sold it, the pictures I took did not show the true color though. I love that the color was the same price as normal and I bought mine from Alice’s at normal price for $160 with company faceup. Also if you want a boy sculpt on a girl body or the other way around you can message Alice and she will order it how you want. My doll was ready in 3 months but there was a shipping delay, not Myou or Alice’s problem.

The light was bad that day but here were arrival pictures of mine

Thanks. The resin colour looks perfect, and I'm happy they don't charge extra for it. But I don't buy through dealers in the US since then I get slapped with huge Customs fees, so I prefer to order directly from the companies in Asia. Sometimes those come through for free.

Now I'm just going to wait to see if Myou has a Christmas sale.

 

I got my two dolls in coffee as well. They're in the middle of my collection photo here:

I got Vieruodis and Reid (the ones with a flower crown and a silver cape in the photo) and while the lighting isn't optimal you can see how their skin tone is darker than the normal/cream white skins in the rest of my collection. I love the color though I do think their blond wigs might be washing them out. It's a lovely skin tone color!

 

Alice’s is in China, not the US, and has free airmail shipping.

@NineOneThree - I didn't know Alice's was in China. Free Shipping would definitely be worth ordering from her.

 

The Taobao store also has free express shipping worldwide, and it looks like Fenglinger, for example, is 690 yuan with free shipping, which works out to... $97 USD?! (If the currency converter I used is right!)

That's the link if you want to check with your currency, it should work it out for you if you put in your location.

So like I said - the Taobao store is DEFINITELY the best value and has free worldwide shipping all the time, as far as I can tell, not only sometimes like Alice's Collections.

One of these days I'll get another of the 1/6 mature tinies, I love them so much...

 

Does the Taobao site have an English version, as I can't make out anything on the Chinese one?

 

Alice's free shipping offer is always there. There's just a price/size requirement but I think full dolls always qualify.

There's BJDbehiner, a taobao proxy. Afaik, ordering from/ making an account directly with Tao requires a Chinese address. Alice's would be the same price as using a proxi with their fees, though.

 

Well said. Besides that if you wait for a Myou event, Alice’s will have event pricing and it is an even better deal, and very simple to order. Even the regular price is a really good price for a full doll.

 

Ah, I didn’t realise that! I thought it was too good to be true!

 

I bought mine through Alice - she was very helpful in making sure I could get my dolls exactly the way I wanted them.

 

I also love Alice’s collection! I ordered a Myou from them a couple years ago and it came super fast

 

Okay. so I thought I'd pose one of my little Myou dolls with the two Fashion size dolls that are going to be his parents, just to see how the resin colours looked together. I was surprised that it was better than I thought. Now I don't think it's even worth it to order new tinies in a slightly darker resin colour.
