Unpopular/Unknown BJD Doll Company

I think Ramcube is very less known only recently that people started to give them attention
They have the best molds and faceups ^^
I own two dolls from them

 

plasticmoon/ foolbot is an independent artist but she's amazing and so are her sculpts! You should definitely check her out!

 

Pluto doll is adorable!! and I think since a lot of people mentions some same unpopular doll company does it means it will get popular? haha

 

Island Doll is fairly unknown and their dolls are gorgeous. I have an MSD Amy myself.

 

I just found this company as well and fell deeply in lust for the Kios alien girl. Hope that this artist (Svetlana) continues to make dolls as she seems very talented. They come in interesting colors too.

 

I'd pure love one of the 30cm Prias but it appear that she'll only make an order for them when there's enough people who sign up for it. My wallet is happy about that.

 

I was surprised it took me so long to find Little Monica given how perfect their dolls are

 

Dream High Studios, definitely. They really don't get enough love - their dolls are all so unique, and INCREDIBLY mobile and expressive.

Another even lesser-known group: Bardo Research. They have only one on-topic sculpt out so far (their standard, non-OOAK Sadhana, with interchangeable eyes as you can see here), but she's so pretty, and so unique!

 

The 2-person studio Oceanmoon! I never see anyone on here talk about their beautiful dolls. Not to mention they're the nicest people, too. The downside to them is that thier dolls can only be bought through Etsy.

 

There's Leledoll. It is so unknown I had to ask the mods if they can be considered on-topic (the answer was yes), but they're really cute!

 

Enredadiza, I'm thinking about doing the same with Bardo Research. They're listed on the wiki, but I haven't found any threads on them anywhere. No waiting rooms, no company threads, no galleries, no nothing! It could just be that it's so obscure, but I dunno.

 

WhitePhoenixRyoko, It's not a bad idea! Maybe more people will get to know them then?

 

I bought one from "OnlyKids". I think not many people know this company
here is her

 

I love Oceanmoon! I agree, they are super, super nice and so passionate about their dolls! I owned an Eun-Ryoung for a while and she was totally charming. I still have their Shou-Ryu, though they've discontinued him and never made a body for him. He's so handsome, though! And I believe they've got a new SD-size guy out now.

Here's my boy:

 

Yes, they discontinued Shou-Ryu but have plans for a sculpt that stems from Shou-Ryu, called simply Ryu.
Also, a 62cm body for their 1/3 heads is in the works, and they're actually at the stage of looking for people interested in putting money down for pre-orders! It's an exciting time~

As for this topic, and companies that are lesser known, while waiting for my Oceanmoon doll to arrive, and while looking for other people to share a smidgen of the excitement with, I noticed there's no "waiting room" or "discussion threads" for most dolls of lesser-known / uncommon companies. Would it be a bad idea to have such threads? I love threads like this where we can talk about those who miss out on a lot of love that they deserve. Awesome place to discover new styles and companies to support, but is a thread of this breadth too diverse to thrive in a section other than General?

 

Anna Queen? I don't think there's a thread for her dolls on this forum unless I missed something. I only learned of her because someone suggested one of her heads for a character I was hunting for. oTL but it was sold out and I dunno anyone who has it.

 

Woah, those are her sculpts? How do you even get one of her dolls? I can't find a website for her or anything, I'm flickr-impaired. OTL

 

Well, I'd say Asleep Eidolon is severely underappreciated. Their sculpts are so darn pretty and their quality is impressive. I've had my Tasha fall on several different occasions but she never once cracked or chipped. They have my admiration. As for a rare company, I'm not sure if it's fair but Mythdolls are super rare. Particularly because the company is extinct now. We have one of their girls but the sculpt isn't that great of quality. The posing is practically impossible, the hands are pretty homely and the neck is too thick, making the head loll from side to side. The face is nice, at least.

 

I didn't know about Anna Queen til your mention, but looked her up and.. wow.. soo~ pretty! Look at Aya.. and Ivory!?!
Her photos and dolls have relatively recent dates on them, so perhaps it's that she's just getting started and doesn't have the capacity for worldwide distribution yet? Seems she's already got a booth for Dollism 2015 so hopefully it's a matter of still being in the startup stages ^^
Here's her web store.
The listing (during an ordering period, which just ended - I discovered a day too late!! AGH!) says they can take overseas orders, and says please write to the email annaqueen1106 at gmail if you want to buy.
Definitely someone to keep an eye on

 

This is the best thread ever. I'll be googling for days. ^ already said dream high studio. Which has the cutest little micro bjd's
