I’m hoping that with better pictures I’ll feel differently but if not I’ll be skipping s2. Either way I’m still super happy with my s1 dolls and I’m happy for everyone who’s enjoying the s2 stuff we’ve been shown so far! From what I’ve seen a lot of people are showing love for the new designs and that’s been nice to see!

I’ve also been trying to get the other girl I wanted from this series, the green mermaid, Leaf. But I’ve had a hard time finding her complete for a decent price secondhand. I was going to get her from Kika a while back but I had the same issue that I had when I was trying to Leopard wave from them. Which was that they had low stock and were therefore trying to charge me an insane amount to get her. AND WHEN I SAY INSANE I MEAN IT!!! A single doll from this series goes for $30-$35. But kika was trying to charge me over $100 for her!!!💀 As much as I want Leaf and adore her design she is nowhere near being worth over $100😭 I actually managed to find another collector who was selling their Leaf for $35 and I was so excited about it! I thought I got lucky. Until they basically ghosted me💀 I’ve reached out several times, hoping to get a response. But it’s been about 3 weeks since they’ve replied to me so it’s looking pretty hopeless right now. Hopefully I’ll get lucky and they’ll respond or maybe I’ll find Leaf for sale elsewhere for a decent price. Either way I just wanna get her!!!😔💔 Wish me luck y’all🥲

I absolutely adore this series! Fierce puppy is definitely one of my favorite designs from the series. Currently I have three of the six common designs. Which aside from fierce puppy includes snail gear and scarred violence bunny. I’m very fond of almost all of the common designs of this series, I think they’re pretty adorable! I’m still trying to get leopard wave, and I’m thinking of getting Lace cat paradise. Funnily enough despite her name I don’t think fierce puppy comes across as very fierce. From my perspective she has a more subdued and almost sleepy vibe. I think it’s mostly just her expression, with the eye bags and sorta blank face she doesn’t read as fierce or even moody to me. I still really love her and her whole vibe. But I do wish they made her match her design name and made her look more fierce or moody, especially since scarred violence bunny has pretty much the same expression. Sadly this girl is another doll that I don’t have an official name for.(╥﹏╥) I plan on officially naming all of my girls soon though!!! This series is another series that has such cute art! I adore the style and colors so much!!! I wish they would’ve made merch or something with the art, the character cards are cute and I definitely appreciate them, but there isn’t much you can do with them.

I love love love this series!!! Snail gear is my favorite out of all the common designs! That’s mainly just due to her color palette and snail theme though😭 From my perspective she gives off a very ditsy and sweet vibe. Like she’s very air-headed and lost in her own head most of the time but also friendly and kind. This girl is one of the few dolls that I’ve actually named. Her name came to me pretty quickly just because of her colors and vibe. I ended up naming her Peony. I think it suits her, especially since I wanted to name her something nature based because of her colors and snail theme. She reminds me a lot of Mitsuri from demon slayer, I think it’s mainly because of the pink and green hair though. I will say that I had a really hard time dressing her when I first got her. Her shorts were a bit annoying to get on and her belt was a headache. It kept loosening and not wanting to stay in place no matter what I did. It was so irritating that I ended up just hot-gluing her belt to her shorts just so that I didn’t have to keep adjusting it😭 That was the only issue I had with her though. I do really wish that she had some more snail motifs, or even nature themed ones. As it is it isn’t super obvious that she’s snail themed. Overall though she’s one of my favorite dolls in my collection and i’m super happy to have her! I love just seeing her on my shelf, she always brings me joy.

I loveee this girl so much!!! I bought her second hand right at the beginning of the year and I’ve been obsessed with her ever since. I was a huge fan of her design when this series first came out, but I just didn’t have a chance to get her at that time. I feel super lucky and happy that I found her when I did, she was one that I wanted for ages! From my perspective she has a very bubbly, playful, mischievous, and energetic personality. I liked her original name so I kept it and I just call her Moka. I absolutely adore the style of this doll, and the style of the older Bonnie girls in general! I especially loveee the proportions of the doll and the way that her face is stylized. I have no real complaints about the doll. Since I bought mine secondhand there’s a few paint chips on her hair pieces and her stringing isn’t the best, but that doesn’t make me love her any less! She was clearly well loved in her previous home and that makes me happy! I have thought about redressing her, but sadly I haven’t found a clothing set that I think suits her. I’m still looking for the purple girl from this series and one girl from the sweet heart party line, but I doubt I’ll find them since I’ve barely spotted any listings for them😭

I got this girl back in march but I waited awhile to take pictures of her since I wanted to mess around with her and gather my thoughts on her. But now that I’ve had her for a while now I can say that I absolutely adore her! I was a huge fan of her design the second that I saw her but after having her in person that feeling has just skyrocketed. From my perspective she has a reserved personality, i don’t think she’s shy though more so just quiet and observant. Her design reminds me a lot of Homura from Madoka Magica. That was actually what initially drew my interest! I will say that despite how fond I am of her I do have some minor complaints😭 Firstly I’m not a fan of how there was no guide on how to style her bangs to look like the promotional pictures, I just eyeballed it and hoped for the best. But any guidance at all would’ve been helpful, I think that mine look’s alright but it was such a headache to do. Secondly I have noticed some quality issues. Her hat came with a ton of loose threads and came way too tight to fit on her head. When I first dressed her I tried to gently push it onto her head and it actually broke at the back so now it’s super loose, and I don’t even bother trying to have her wear it. I was initially pretty bummed out about it but I don’t mind too much now. Her dress also had a bunch of loose threads that I had to trim down and it doesn’t feel super high quality either, but I like her design a lot so I don’t plan to redress her just yet. Lastly the dolls stringing is a bit iffy, her arms don’t hold poses well and her legs are super tight so she’s a bit kicky. OMG AND I HATEEE THE MATERIAL HER GLASSES ARE MADE OF!!!😭 Despite all that though i love her a lot! She’s pretty unique compared to my other dolls and I just adore the way her face is stylized, I hope that we get more from this studio!! I actually originally bought her as an early birthday gift to myself, funnily enough though she arrived way before my birthday!😭

She’s definitely one of my favorite dolls! I love her vibe and aesthetic. From my perspective she gives off a very serene and dreamy vibe. I think that although dolls from this series tend to have quality control issues and difficulty posing I’m still incredibly happy with her. Sadly I’ve yet to give her an official name, but I’m sure I’ll think of one soon. Calling her Moonlight Sleep all the time feels so silly and strange😭 I also just adore the art from this series, it’s absolutely adorable! I wish they made merch with the art.
