Twitter is a bit of a disaster these days, so I hate to even mention it here on the blog, but I kind-of have to for this post, because without Twitter, I never would have known about the dolls I'm featuring. I should mention, though, for anyone who is fleeing the Twitter chaos, that I've started an account at Mastodon. I'll put everything that I post on Twitter on Mastadon, too. Here's the link, which you can also find over on the right side bar -->
I joined Twitter so that I'd have a way to announce when I'd written a new review, and it's worked fine for that, but after following a bunch of people, I realize that it's also a great platform for learning about new dolls and appreciating talented artists. In fact, it's maybe too good of a platform for learning about new dolls. I feel like every time I log in these days, I end up buying something.
Today's review was inspired by a Twitter friend from New Zealand, surprise-yawns, who introduced me to Penny's Box and their whole range of adorable blind box BJD-style dolls. I find it mind-blowing that you can get a fully-articulated, adorable little elastic-strung doll in a blind box format...for about twenty bucks. Sounds too good to be true, right? Let's find out.
