J-Dolls

Hello Dear Readers,

Thank goodness it is finally Friday!  I longed for some rest after this busy week :)  I was not going to blog again until next week but I saw these deals on Amazon.com and I just HAD to post about it.

Are you familiar with J-Dolls?  They were made by Jun Planning until Groove took over (it is also the company that creates Pullip dolls).  Well J-Dolls are like Pullip but without the big head.  They have jointed limbs and a very pretty face with strikingly beautiful stationary glass eyes! 

Here below is one of the most beautiful ballerina doll ever: J-Doll Rossi St.  According to this website, she was created in 2008 and her name Rossi Street is located in St. Petersburg, Russia, and is named for a famous architect who designed a theater familiar to ballet fans the world over.

They are named after a particular street in the world and they wear very fashionable clothes.  I noticed  J-Dolls have sometimes very adult-theme clothes like lingerie as opposed to the more fairy tales and anime-like clothes that the Pullip and Dal dolls wear.  They are certainly collector's dolls and not toys because of how fragile they are and the mature outfit they wear.

I never bought one before because a price tag of $60-100 seemed a little high, especially since the dolls do not have the same eyes mechanism like Pullip dolls and their head is stiff so you cannot tilt it or move it much.  And apparently they have very fragile wrists that break easily.

While I was looking for the Little Dal dolls on Amazon.com, I noticed the price on a J-Dolls and was quite surprised by how incredibly cheap it was! Some of the dolls are only $24.99!  I checked online to see if there were more and indeed, there seems to be a sudden boom of low-priced J-Dolls at the moment.

But wait, I found out that it was even cheaper!  Apparently the stores Tuesday Morning had been selling them for $19.99 in December 2013.  And the Little Pullip and Dal dolls were $9.99!!!  WHY DO I ONLY LEARN THIS NOW? T_T

Well I am too late as usual: I went to my local Tuesday Morning store and they had no J-Dolls left... but they did have some Little Dal dolls for $9.99.  Unfortunately there were only 3 types and I was not interested in them.

There were many Barbie, Bratz, La Dee Da, Monster High, and other dolls on sale in the Tuesday Morning store.  If you are a doll fanatic, you should totally check out your local store to see if they still have some of the dolls you might like!

Amazon was then the next best thing.  Of course, the rare dolls are not on sale and you would have a hard time finding them in any store but the cheaper dolls are still very pretty and constitute a great deal.

So I plunged and bought my first J-dolls :)  I don't have them yet but  I wanted to post about the J-Dolls today so you can get them at a good price while you can.  I have updated my Amazon store and added a J-Doll section.  If you decide to buy from my store, I thank you in advance for your patronage :D

Most of them will ship for free but some of the dolls require a shipping fee so you should verify before you check out!  I admit I usually buy from Amazon because of free shipping ^_^

Tomorrow I will go check another Tuesday Morning store and maybe I'll get lucky :)

Have a great weekend y'all!
