Honshu Posted September 16 Hi There, I am a newbie of this hobby. I inherited these BJD from my uncle. Is this worth anything as it was still in a box, but its only a body without a head. Its from Loong Soul. https://imgur.com/hFXibF0 Please see link. I dont know if I should keep this, or upgrade to another BJD, or sell it. If I do trade or sell it what is it even worth?

Oculae Posted September 16 Loong Soul bodies are very well engineered, they're definitely still valuable even without the head! I bought a few larger ones for a couple of my boy dolls, they're great. This one I'm not too sure on, but the sculpt, kneecaps, and elbows look kind of like their 62cm body to me. http://www.ls-doll.com/en/goods.php?id=733 The Certificate of Authenticity that came with it will probably tell you how old it is and what resin color it is!

Honshu Posted September 16 Hi Oculae, Thank you for that. Let me share more pictures of the Loong Soul, please see the link below: https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#Wwtzl1y https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#9bXkHcw https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#tcmtWx2 https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#TY7LZzZ https://imgur.com/gallery/dho-bjdtoo-gfGwWiD#FzaWWVh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted September 16 Ooh, okay! I was right, this IS a 62cm body, but it was not bought by itself - the name on the certificate is of a full doll, Jiao Mu Jiao! https://dolk.jp/portal/itemDetail/?ItmID=174032 It's in their Environmental White resin, and was cast in 2021, all useful info to include if you do plan on selling it. Or if you want to keep it and put a head on it, you could probably keep an eye on the secondhand market for Jiao's head specifically, or look for a head in white resin that would fit a 62cm body! Since it's 5 years old, the new head might need a little blushing to match the body, but a good faceup artist could do that for you no problem. 1 Please ping me when replying!

Honshu Posted September 23 Hi Oculae, Can you recommend a facebook group where I can learn more about the bjd? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oculae Posted September 24 I'm not on Facebook much, but I joined a few groups... most of mine are vinyl focused like Doll Dreaming is, but the BJD Addicts group could be helpful. https://facebook.com/groups/195691940459711/ Keep in mind they're a private group, so you'll have to fill out the application and get approved to join. They've got a sister group focused on sales, too, so once you've identified some dolls and their prices, if you decide to sell them, you could join that group to list them!

Honshu Posted September 27 Hi Oculae, I tried joining the group, and got declined. I dont know why. Anyways, I have a BJD doll I am trying to identify.
