BEEMAI Liroro Summer Island Series 1PC 1/12 BJD Dolls Cute Figures Lolita Style Collectibles Birthday Gift

The doll is very cute and love the looks of it. I stumble upon it when looking at different bjd dolls here. It sucks that it’s a blind box because I would love to buy the whole set. While the one I got is the one I didn’t want(Summer Lemon), I’ve grown to love her. The clothes are made wonderfully, the hair is nice even when it’s not brushable, and love the movability this doll has. Also the inset eyes are amazing. Though I do have a few issues with it. The dress I got for this particular doll has a very small bow unlike some others that have her and it’s tied weirdly. I managed to fix it, but it sucks I have this issue(might edit it to show some pictures soon). Also it’s very hard to change the hands. It’s best to get a toothpick to go in the middle of the band and keep it there until you got the hands you want for her. Overall, I love her and hope to buy the whole set one day(maybe a review for it lol) and if I got the same doll from the single box I bought, I’ll give to my sister :)

I lucked out and got one of the ones I really wanted from this set, but I’d have been happy with any. The quality is great! They are a little top heavy so it’s a little tricky to get her to stand on her own, but not impossible. If you’ve ever owned figmas, it’s kinda like that without the stand. :)Highly recommend.Only ‘con’ would be if you’re a person who doesn’t like ‘follow me’ eyes on dolls, their eyes have that effect. I think it’s cute and less effort to take a cute picture.

EDIT: Got addicted, got even more dolls. Beyond maybe a bit to clean off on the face of one of them (just wet a cuetip with regular dishsoap and water and scrub gently if you have the same issue, it should come off easily enough), and a bow on a dress coming undone, they've generally come in good shape, so the flaws on the version of Summer Tea Party I got seem to be a rarity in terms of condition. I think I can recommend these dolls with confidence at this point, just be mindful that there's a very small chance for flaws like the chip on one of my Summer Tea Party doll's eyes.I normally don't buy dolls like this (my adult collecting of this sort of thing over the years has mainly been restricted to nendroids and some other figures from franchises I like, mostly small, a few bigger), but something about the design of these dolls was cute enough to catch my eye and compel me to gamble the $30 or so with tax to see what I got.The quality was pretty decent for what I paid... though I was unlucky in that I got the one I wanted the least (that being Lemon). She's growing on me a bit now though. Other than a little bit of a stain on the bow of her dress (I didn't even notice it until tonight, I don't think it even shows up in the photo with this review very well or at all) and a bit of loose thread on her bow (which was easily solved with some fabric scissors), she came in good shape. Her flaws are not what I'm rating 4 stars for, as they're pretty minor manufacturing errors.As I got the one I wanted the least, I decided to try again. This time I got one of the ones I wanted most, that being Tea Party... and here we get into why I deducted a star. The most obvious flaw was some sort of brown substance on her cheek, arm, and ear (maybe some rogue paint, or a really stubborn dirt or soot stain?). Most of it came off, and thankfully without compromising her blush. I had a bit that was stubborn, but I think I might have gotten it all off at this point.There's also a bit of chipping with one of her eyes. Thankfully, it's not too noticeable, and it took examining her face with a flashlight to see if I'd gotten most of the paint to notice it, but it's there. Also her hair pieces are a bit loose compared to Lemon's, to the point it fell off a couple times while I was trying to dress her, but that's not as big of a deal. Her flaws could be worse, though it still makes me sad that she has a chip in her eye, even if it's hard to see. She's still darn cute though.Overall, these little guys are pretty cute. The dolls and dresses are generally pretty good quality, and it's nice the little headbands are magnetic. It was also easy enough to get their little dresses and socks and shoes on. However, with Lemon's collar, I did have to temporarily take her head off, which was easy enough since the face place and hair pieces work basically like nendroid head parts do.As at least one person has noted, these dolls are top heavy, so while they can technically stand up on their own, if you don't want them to fall over, be prepared to either lean them against something, buy a doll stand for a doll their size, or get a doll chair for them to sit in. Also as another person noted, their eyes are the type to follow you, so if that creeps you out... maybe consider another doll line. It doesn't bother me too bad, but your mileage may vary.These guys are my first ball jointed dolls (or bjds, as they are often called), so I'm going to leave a few thoughts on that specific aspect of that in case there's others buying these dolls who are also new to bjds.First of all, while they come with lots of hand parts, don't expect an easy swap like with nendroids. I haven't be brave enough to swap out hand parts yet, but I suggest looking up a tutorial on how to do it with bjds before attempting it, as it involves taking the elastic used to give the dolls their jointed movement and restringing it through the new hand part.Second of all, while they're pretty posable, I did have trouble with some poses, so keep that in mind. Possibly their much more expensive, larger bjd counterparts have a greater range of movement, but I don't have one as of writing this review, so I can't do that comparison. They're still pretty posable though, at least more flexible than something like a nendroid, so still a win?Thirdly, it's possible that, like all bjds, they might need a restring at some point. From what I read however, I wouldn't worry about it until the dolls start to go limp, and/or you hear joint grinding when trying to pose them. It should hopefully not be for awhile, but it's something to keep in mind. Like with the hands, I'd look up a tutorial on how to do this once the time comes.Overall, despite my bad luck with one doll in terms of damage, I do think these dolls are worth it. My particular Tea Party seems to be a lemon, and not reflective of general quality, but it's worth pointing out what condition she was in just in case another customer has a similar experience.If you read this whole long review, thanks for taking the time, and if you purchased one of these dolls for yourself, enjoy!

So adorable!

So one thing I Don't like is the hands are Difficult to change. They're attached with sharp little metal hooks and I got stabbed in the thumb three different times while changing her left hand to a paw. So Don't do that bare handed, us a small pair of needle nose pliers instead to avoid the hooks puncturing your flesh. The other thing I'm not crazy about is the weight of the head. It makes it impossible to stand the up without leaning them against something like on a shelf. Other than that, these dolls are well made and very pretty.

Blind boxes are my weakness- this set is so fulfilling! I've bought 2 now. The dolls are high quality and cheer me on from the sidelines while I study. They're posable and their magnetic ears are the best part.

The doll is very cute! Unfortunately mine came without her dress and socks, which was very disappointing. The package appeared to be fully sealed before I opened it, so I assume it was an issue from manufacturing. The doll appears high quality and is very poseable, just be aware that there’s a chance she might arrive without any clothes.Attached is a picture of everything that came out of the box, for referenceEdited later: The seller is working to get the missing pieces replaced for me, so my rating has been raised to reflect their efforts,

She is adorable, however the joints are so loose that she won't even sit up. Her head is heavier than the rest of her and she just falls down.
