Selenae Posted August 23, 2020 Ahhhh, these new heads are so cute! I'm very smitten with the blondie. Agh. Also, I paid for my girl's shipping today, so fingers crossed she arrives soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riesz Posted August 28, 2020 Omg these are SO CUTE. aaa I'm really tempted 😭 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnjoRaivando Posted August 28, 2020 I wonder if anyone would be doing a hosted group order for these or something- I'm SO afraid to use taobao, but I LOVE these little dolls! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azael Posted August 28, 2020 That's a really good idea. It's been AGES since I've used Taobao and I don't think the go-between I had used is still operating. XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riesz Posted August 29, 2020 Don't be afraid to use Taobao! It's really not that difficult when you use Google Chrome and auto translate. Some sellers will ship to you directly but for others Taobao offers an in-house consolidation warehouse that is MUCH cheaper than using a proxy. I just placed an order for this cutie pie. I contacted the shop on Taobao and they do direct shipping to USA through EMS or DHL! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selenae Posted August 31, 2020 My Chisa is home! I haven't had the chance to put her together yet, but I am super smitten with her, oh my god. Her faceup is exactly like the photos, it's so perfect. Honestly, I am blown away by the quality, especially considering the price. And she is surprisingly heavy for her height, too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like how they have a bit of weight with them. Makes them feels less vulnerable 😆 I need to order some snap buttons and stuff but after that I will send the little elf here 😁 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeypizzasonic Posted September 3, 2020 I'm looking at the Taobao site right now, but auto-translate doesn't seem to be working for me for some reason...it says it's translated, but nothing's changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you using Chrome? If so, you can try to enable auto translation on the icon in the address bar. If that doesn't work, you might be able to right click on the webpage and select "translate to english" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm really struggling to understand any of the listings even with google translate 😅 Like I have no idea what any of these options mean lol. I was looking for one that was head and body, but I'm unsure what gets me a fullset and what doesn't.

Riesz Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) @Noxxbunny Here is a handy website and guide about ordering on Taobao and making an account etc. https://www.howtotao.com/how-to-register-a-taobao-account/ There is a special chat client called AliWangWang for contacting Taobao shops. Here is a page about it https://dodri0.tumblr.com/post/101239021220/how-to-use-aliwangwang-to-chat-with-taobao-sellers/amp Here is the download page for AliWangWang chat client. https://wangwang.taobao.com/ Once you have it installed, log in with your Taobao username and just click the little blue blob on the shop page to open a chat window with the seller. I typically use Google translate to copy-paste some beginning messages with the sellers in Chinese, but after I mentioned being a foreign customer the Tiny Fox shop began messaging me in English.

Riesz Posted September 4, 2020 Also selecting these options looks like the full set but you could try messaging the seller just to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noxxbunny Posted September 4, 2020 Thank you! That guide really helped! It seems like they were sold out of just the head, so I went ahead and ordered his fullset since it seemed to be the option in stock and I didn't want him to sell out like a lot of the others. 🥰 I can't wait to get him! He'll be my birthday gift this year, so I won't open him until early November. 😆 But I'm very excited! 1 Current Crew: Kaito(DDH07), Miles(DDH06), Lyca(DDH-10), Hotaru(DDH09), Kagamine Rin, Maron(DDH01), Mikuo(Snow Miku), Nagisa(DDH01) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ylse Posted September 5, 2020 Congrats!! 😆 It's nice to see more people getting a Tinyfox, they are so cute 🥺 I took Maru with me on a photo spree at the park wednesday, these dolls are a nice size to take with you. Also the Volks dinosaur raincoat set for yosd fits very good! Maybe a teeny bit on the large side but it only makes it look even cuter~ the rainboots also fit nicely! 1 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toufufu Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) I just got mine today! I named her Nayu I've ordered the fullset Sakura Apricot and requested for blue eyes instead of the orange one ^^ Edited September 7, 2020 by toufufu 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Currently at work and on mobile but I will post the link to that taobao shop later. Haven't ordered from them before but the shoes look really nice in the review photo's! Also I found the Volks raincoat set for yosd to be a very cute on Maru if you like something like that 😆 Edit: this is the taobao shop for the shoes~! https://lost-valhalla.world.taobao.com/ The kind of retro ones that are also in a dark green: in the review section there is a photo of someone's tinyfox wearing them in a yellow colour Edited September 10, 2020 by Ylse 1 My Instagram 😬: https://www.instagram.com/ylse_marije/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're really popular amongst customizers; instagram is loaded with cute face-ups and mods galore. Oh, and I highly recommend Spreenow as a proxy. I've been using them for years, and they're very easy to use, and very affordable, too. How would one contact this proxy? I found one of these little cuties that I've absolutely fallen in love with and I've never gone through a proxy before. ;w; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone see their new girl too? I'm not crazy about red, but she has such a cute faceup! 2 Current Crew: Kaito(DDH07), Miles(DDH06), Lyca(DDH-10), Hotaru(DDH09), Kagamine Rin, Maron(DDH01), Mikuo(Snow Miku), Nagisa(DDH01) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noxxbunny Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Well seems I jinxed that one...Would anyone happen to have a way to get into contact with TinyFox outside Taobao? ._. They banned me for no reason(I literally made the account, verified it, bought and paid for my boy and have done nothing with the account since) and now I can't see the status of my order anymore. It's not refunded, so I assume it's still happening but I just want to let them know what's going on and to confirm I still want my order. Apparently account freezing can't be undone, so I'm stuck here. Edit: Someone nice on IG got me in touch with them! Tinyfox has been really understanding about the whole thing, and I'm still getting my boy whenever he's done! (Still no idea why I was banned but I have the sneaking suspicion that it's probably because I use a VPN regularly and forgot to turn it off every single time I used Taobao...but I'll never know for sure lol) Edited October 16, 2020 by Noxxbunny Current Crew: Kaito(DDH07), Miles(DDH06), Lyca(DDH-10), Hotaru(DDH09), Kagamine Rin, Maron(DDH01), Mikuo(Snow Miku), Nagisa(DDH01) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluepita Posted October 16, 2020 These dolls are so adorable! I've been hoping for a vinyl doll in 1/6 size, and then I found this thread. I'm a little nervous about ordering from TaoBao, because i never have before. I'm really considering the girl in red, I don't love her outfit, but that face is so sweet. Does anyone know how they compare to a 1/6 resin doll, like the Luts Honey Delf? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moon-to-Starlight Posted October 16, 2020 Oh, no! I’ve never seen these before and now I’m going to have to figure out how to order from Taobao! They are so cute! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
