I thought it would be a good idea to create a topic for consolidating info and discussion on the huge influx of blind box dolls! It seems like they are mostly 1/12 scale to 1/6 scale from what I've seen, and tend to be proportioned similar to Nendoroid dolls, with large bobble heads, plastic molded hair, and toddler-esque bodies, although some with longer legs have been popping up lately. Some include various hands, feet, and magnetic parts like animal ears. The plastic wigs can be removed and the eyes can be removed. Some are strung BJDs while others are hinge joints, or more Nendoroid style bodies. The prices I've seen on Taobao tend to be around ￥75-85 yuan or $10-12 USD for the 1/12 scale dolls, so they are very inexpensive. I've also noticed them popping up from resellers on Amazon, Aliexpress, and other shops, but they tend to be 2-4x more expensive (with the caveat of not having to import them from Taobao, of course!). Some of the resellers offer the option to buy a specific doll at an inflated price, in case the gamble of a blind box isn't appealing. As of now, it seems like there are no bootlegs of these dolls, but I don't know if that will be a problem in the future. They are so inexpensive that I'd be surprised to see bootlegs, but who knows. The bigger brands I've noticed are Penny's Box, UFdoll, Maytree, Bonnie, Simontoys, Nagi, etc but there are loads of these so I'm sure I'm missing many brands. There are other blind box "dolls" under a similar umbrella (sometimes made by the same companies listed) but they are more like action figures or anime figures and tend to be fully plastic with no removable clothing, eyes, etc. so I did not include those in the scope of this post. Here are a few of the official shop links I've found on Taobao.
