I've been stumbling around looking for a new wig for Lil' Momi, and I found doll brand I've never seen before: "Bobobie". The doll's prices are insanely cheap compared to other dolls I've seen, but I want to know if anyone has any opinions o them before I buy the Tiny Doll I've fallen in love with.

I've seen a couple of Bobobies in person, mostly Sprites, and they're pretty good dolls. I'm going to be getting soon a Bobobie boy body for my boy's head and they have a really nice sculpt.

Old post, but I'll answer for future references.

I've had an older Bobobie girl body (with a Sooah head) and right now I have the newer Bobobie Weylin, whose head I plan on replacing with LadySaiyuki's Mature Ted. The bodies are very floppy, but this can be easily fixed with hot glue sueding and wiring. They stand like a dream, and can actually hold poses quite well. I also really like the extra pieces in the knees so they can kneel without that "broken joint" issue.

The resin quality isn't as awesome as say a CP doll, but it's still pretty good. The hands are pretty lame, and the feet aren't all that attractive, plus the boobs on the girl body are huge and actually caused a few issues when I had mine, but I still like the bodies.

The sculps are also a lot nicer in person than in pictures. I was surprised to actually like my Weylin head (I bought the doll for the body) when it arrived.

I had gotten a Bobobie elf sprite. She was loosely strung but I think they fixed that problem now. I didn't like her hands but I loved her sculpt : 3

I love Bobobie! I have a Weylin and a Sunny. They're actually really good quality resin for the price and the sculpts are sooo much nicer in person than in photos, especially Bobobie's photos on their site. Really, I was going to stay far, far away from Weylin until I saw owner photos and changed my mind completely. When I got mine home, I was once again surprised by just how pretty he is, and that he's actually got a bit of muscle definition going on in his abdomen. He looks better shirtless than I was expecting him to. xd Oh, and I love the double joints in his knees and the extra mobility from the way his hips are jointed, which both mean he can do things that my other boys just can't without joints being popped out of sockets. Ooh, and the locking shoulder joints! I like those, too! (Uh...have I babbled about his awesomeness enough yet? Cos I do have some negatives about him.)

They do flop pretty badly, since they come loosely strung to help prevent breakage during shipping. Mine was so loosely strung it wasn't funny. No, really, it frustrated the hell out of me until I restrung him and pulled the elastic tighter (which is actually kind of a funny story, really). This is, as has been said, easily fixable, so isn't really a problem. The hands and feet really aren't all that great, but honestly, I didn't get mine for those, I got him cos I loved his face, so I put up with the strange hands and not particularly attractive feet.

I want to order bobobie An next week with a pair of green eyes, but I can't find out what size eyes he needs!

I'm so excited I feel like I might be sick! My darling Liam!
I love An's nose so much!!!!
