Veravey Posted March 10 I noticed we don't have a dedicated Merry Belle thread yet, and with their first fullset releases coming up this year I thought now would be a good time to start one~ (Ā“ Ļ `ā”) @cluffyĀ began this thread for the MB Yubel body specifically last year for more context:Ā merry belle 'yubel' body! --- Merry Belle website:Ā merrybelle-kingdom.com/ Booth:Ā merrybelle.booth.pm/ Twitter (X):Ā x.com/MerryBelle_doll Merry Belle (MB)Ā is a Japanese MJD company which began in 2025 (estimated) in Tokyo, and is owned by BELLEMATIN Inc. At this time, they specialize in 1/4 scale MJDs and have released their first body called the Yubel model, which was first offered in the skin tones peachĀ and vanilla.Ā The formerĀ matches DD flesh while the second matchesĀ DD SWS (or very nearly exactly matches.) Ā They have announced they are releasing 4 unique sculpts alongside Yubel. They called themĀ BLOB and sculpt numbers will be found inside the neck wells on the heads. For example: BLOB-01. Ā MB has expressed they will releasing original characters as fullsets and have shared several girls at conventions over the last year. Ā With their expressive and adorable anime sculpts,Ā I have a feeling MB is going to suck me in just as much as TinyFox has and I'm so excited to see what theirĀ future holds!~ ( Ā“ ā `)ćļ½ ā” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veravey Posted March 10 My peach Yubel arrived two weeks agoĀ and I did a posing test! I shared it in the old thread here: 41 minutes ago, Veravey said: I'm very excited to share the the Yubel body posing range is wonderful and a new great option for DD and likely other vinyl companies!~ ( Ā“ Ļ `ā”) Here we have Lyra, my new DC-H-17 M03 in flesh on Yubel peach. The double jointed elbows and knees are so lovely! They aren't too much less expensive than a new MDD, being about only Ā„3000 less. But the better posing range might be worth it. They're very light, and only have very slight "shiftiness" (the shins wiggle a bit sometimes, for example.) They're far better than IMD, not nearly as stiff as SmD, and of course not as solid as DD which is still overall the best MJD body on the market. But MB (Merry Belle) is quickly rising up my list! They've just released the vanilla skin tone and it should match DD SWS!Ā ( Ā“ Ļ ` ) Ā 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cluffy Posted March 10 thanks for starting an official thread & for sharing photos of your girl!!Ā (ć Ā“ Ė `)Ā ā” the posing is so nice, it's amazing she can sit fully criss-cross applesauce like that! i definitely prefer the look of this body over any other non-volks mdd sized girls on the market... though for aesthetic reasons volks mdd (in all it's forms) is still #1 for me too. these provide better articulation and posing ability, but i'm still in love with the look of mdd knees... i think they look cuter in outfits that don't cover them. i could see myself getting an mb girl in the future and having her wear tights or long skirts though.. heheheĀ (Ā ĖĶĢź³ĖĶĢ )ā§ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh my goodness I couldn't 100%Ā agree more! Mochi ashi sculpting is truly adorable and very much one of my favorites still, especially 2.0. I really hope MB will expand to more body types and skin tones, like in the direction Dollbot is going. But also keep up their amazing skeleton design!Ā (Ā“,,ā¢Ļā¢,,)ā” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
