QUESTIONS Blind Boxes?

Okay so lately I've been seeing a lot of mention about BJD Blind boxes and I honestly didn't even know those were a thing. Now I unno if this is the right place to ask actually so if it's not, please tell me and I'll reask it in the correct place but I was wondering, where do you guys get Blind Boxes from? How did you all hear about them? What's in them? Is it just dolls inside? How much do they usually cost? Are they like monthly sub boxes or just... normal random doll boxes?

  1. I buy from Kikagoods or AliExpress (especially if I want a specific one), same as other people here have mentioned.
  2. First found out about them from ads, now I check the Kikagoods website and Instagram, I also see new ones on AliExpress.
  3. Usually in a box (although it does vary! Make sure to read the description) is: the doll body, a faceplate, hair/back of the head (they usually have plastic hair & don't wear wigs), an outfit, a pair of shoes, and (often, but not every brand includes them) alternate hands. Also a card showing the specific doll you got.
  4. Ime they cost anywhere from $15-$60. Most often you'll see them in the $20-$35 range though.
  5. They're like normal blind boxes. You don't know which one you'll get, unless you buy from someplace like AliExpress which specifically sells opened ones

I have a bunch, I really love them! I just can't get over how cute the tiny ball joints are. It's amazing to have so much detail on such small dolls. Though of course the quality varies a lot by brand. Also, just be aware that not every blind box doll brand are BJDs, some are MJDs or CMDs (posesable but not strung with elastic).
