1. 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.

Mystery-- Kindergarten Lili, Kiki

Apr 30, 2023

    1. Hi all, I've found a post for a doll I'm absolutely in love with, but I can't find any more info about the maker. Does anyone know anything about this little guy? The maker is Kindergarten, the sculpts are Xing-Xing/Kun-Kun or Lili and Kiki.

      Here's a link to the post, I would love more information: Baby Soo helps me welcome kindergarten 醒醒 and 困困

    2. Hello, I might be able to help you.

      There are three dolls (well, one complete and one with two faceplates) in the photos. The complete one is from a Korean artist who goes by Mia's Baby Doll, and it was a Baby Soo. MIA'S BABY DOLL Unfortunately, Baby Soo is hard to find these days and they're kinda rare in the second-hand market.

      The two (one complete with two faceplates) dolls is from a Chinese artist who goes by Dandan. This is her Weibo account. Sina Visitor System

      Unfortunately, I don't know who carries Dandan's dolls. You'll have to ask around, I am afraid.

      Hopefully this is helpful!

    4. How were you able to connect the faceplates in the post to the Weibo account? How do you know it's the same artist?

    5. Oh, that bit... :doh
      I'm sorry I didn't mention this before: I speak Chinese. I looked up the artist's name via Google by typing her name in Chinese. The "principal" of the kindergarten signed her name as "Dandan" (Egg-egg) and I searched through that. What I found, however, is that this is a really common name. And multiple artists use "dandan" in their names or the names of their sculpts. Unfortunately, the first one I found was the wrong "Eggy".

      This is the right one. Sina Visitor System

      Once again, sorry!!!

    6. Thank you!!!! That's definitely her! Sorry for all the questions, but what does the post say? I'm not familiar with Weibo, does she have like "a profile page" or something? Thank you!!
       
    7. Weibo is "Chinese Twitter". So you are technically looking at her "profile page", after a fashion. The post is an announcement page when the dolls were first ready for sale.

      The artist said that Xingxing and Kunkun would be 1/6 in size. She recommends a CD (Charm doll?) body for this head, but she can be fitted to a MIA body (or a Guard Love 1/6 child body). She comes in 3 colours (MIA pink-normal '18, MIA/Volks normal '19, Napi doll white skin '19). The two faceplates can use the same backing, so they can be bought together or separately. The eyeballs are 12 mm, the head circumference is 17cm and the neck circumference is 6 cm.

      She sells through a Taobou store. I haven't found it quite yet, but I'll keep searching. If you use a proxy or Bhiner, apparently the Taobao store's name is "蛋蛋的幼稚园". (I don't use either, so I can't quite confirm that. I'll update you if I find the exact store.)

    9. We must have been posting at the same time, sorry if I repeated the information you already posted.

    13. Hey, Just wanted to give you an update.
      Since I don't have a Taobao account, I can't seem to find the exact store for this artist. She did post some QR codes but it seems that they were outdated and no longer works. The best thing to do for you (if you really want these girls) is to get a proxy to help you find them.

      The lady from Clover Singing and the lady from Dollection are both helpful in terms of tracking down these artist BJDs. And if you give them the information I gave you earlier, they should be able to find them for you.

      Cheers, and good luck!
