I asked two others but I don't have high hopes. It's OK though, maybe there will be a restock or a new girl will come out that I will adore. I don't have many options either, being in Europe. It's basically only Aliexpress or Kikagoods for me. I'll keep an eye on there as well. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the support everyone! As a fellow European I recommend buying Tinyfox through newcloversinging. They are cheaper than Kikagoods and more trustworthy than aliexpress shops. You also get free shipping. Her homepages (she has a old and new one) aren't good but you can just write her an email to order. NewCloverSinging is pretty highly trusted (you can Google about the shop), it just really doesn't look like it for newbies xD 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrell Posted September 15, 2024 Thank you all for the info and the help. I suspected it was as you say. I guess I'll have to wait for a restock or a brand new doll that I fall in love with. I'm sure it'll happen. Thank you for recommending NewCloverSinging for Europe! I'll be sure to check the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christina is wonderful and extremely helpful, she usually responds within a day on weekdays in Beijing's time zone. If you don't see an item posted on the website, email her and ask if getting the item is possible, and this includes adding extra things like hands, bonus items, etc. She has helped me get several custom, fullset, and nude dolls; shes done me a couple favors in asking GEM to modify the faceup in a couple of the fullsets I ordered. I have been purchasing TF and resin dolls through her for over 3 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't purchased from them personaly: https://www.mydollection.com/product-page/tinyfox-asmoti-full-set-chubby-1-6-mjd-dolls-only I can speak for the following shops: NCS (my favorite) Anubis (my close second favorite) Janes (not a fan paying USD and even though I'm in Canada its more expensive to ship from her) TinyFox international shop (would not recommend, insanely expensive shipping, like it's a crime) SpreeNow (proxy purchasing through TF's TaoBao shop, they're fine, not the cheapest shipping) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always forget they carry TF and Imomo. Their selection is hard to beat, they often have a much larger inventory than other sites, and will often have dolls that recently sold out or closed for orders. I like them as well, my only comments is they can be a bit pricier and I have paid for shipping a couple times. However they often have free shipping events.

Thank you for the warning and for suggesting LegendDoll, @RozenGermain! I will check them as well. Since it seems like Asmoti is a no go for now, I'm considering Cherrie... She might also fit the idea I had for my trickster character, and she already has red hair, so that's a plus, haha. I'm unsure for now though. I really like that mischievous expression on Asmoti. Cherrie's expression is more straightforward (and happier, which is also good in its own way). I also considered Poison, but her expression is less subtle than I was hoping for, haha.

Cherrie is definitely a cutie! Though if you have a specific hairstyle in mind I recommend getting a red wig separately anyway. Though that could just be me not liking the hairstyle of Cherrie's wig. Though I am still big on demon girls! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrell Posted September 19, 2024 (edited) Thank you, @RozenGermain! I do like the hair style Cherrie has, but it's definitely a good idea to get a different wig for a change of pace. So, I ended up ordering Poison! That's a big step out of my doll comfort zone, as I usually like kind, gentle smiling girls, but I'm excited. I mean, she's happy and smiling as well, just like a cute predator that has just seen a tasty prey, haha. She definitely will be a new character, not the trickster one I had in mind though. I think only Asmoti's smile can fit that bill. I like how she has dark black hair, too, that will be a novelty for my collection! I'm aware that she's on pre-order and won't ship until after my birthday, but that's OK. I'll just wait for her and I'll keep an eye out for an Asmoti restock or for her to appear for sale second-hand.

Oh no!! Could that maybe be because they're seeking to release the kitties at the same time and they have a lot more intricate parts? Not that I'm not used to production delays, but still makes me sad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The notice just said there were factory delays and that they were have trouble sourcing the necessary parts, but I think it’s entirely possible that the intricate outfits and accessories are the main problem. They also said during the preorder period that they might have trouble sourcing materials for the black cat’s wig if there were too many preorders, and that they would change it to mohair if that was the case. The cats seemed to be TinyFox’s big breakthrough into the Japanese market, so they probably got way more preorders than expected. Idk if that will have an effect on later releases, but I’m expecting it to. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbqweasel Posted October 1, 2024 @Ayrell have you looked at Ashley? I think she has a subtle mischievous look as well. She’s more readily available on Ali. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticJester Posted October 1, 2024 Speaking of Ashley, I just got one secondhand! My first Tinyfox!! I think she has that coating people have mentioned some dolls having, she's really soft to the touch. She has some bad staining on her feet and mild staining on her legs from her socks, but I'm hoping to stain treat the problem areas and I'm waiting on her bodysuit now! I named her Sariel Trini 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragnamuffin Posted October 1, 2024 59 minutes ago, PlasticJester said: but I'm hoping to stain treat the problem areas Unless you know of a method we don’t, don’t do it. Traditional stain treatment will destroy the soft touch coating. Unfortunately, once the older TinyFoxes are stained, they can’t be fixed. You’ll have to buy a new body if it really bothers you.

Ayrell Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) @bbqweasel, thank you so much for the suggestion! I did consider Ashley as she has a similar smile to Asmoti, but the rest of her face-up didn't convince me. She's definitely an option if worse comes to worse though. @PlasticJester, huge congratulations on Sariel Trini's arrival! Pictures please? 😄 I saw that LaPeonier posted this tweet. Are those new girls on the second photo? They both look very cute! Adorable expressions. Spoiler for big image.

Veravey Posted October 1, 2024 (edited) So cuuuuute! I continue to thank the doll gods that TF has remained focused on 1/6, my wallet and I express immense gratitude~ (* ´▽`)b In 1/4 news however, Fluffy, Fillion, and Konid are all on their way home as of last week! They all coincidentally seemed to ship around the same time despite coming from 3 seperate proxies. I would love to start their projects right away but unfortunately likely can't until the new year due to life events. With their arrival, I have officially collected at least 1 version of ever 1/4 sculpt!~ (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*: ・゚ Edited October 1, 2024 by Veravey news addition 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like it says the red one is an octopus chef (although the ears on her hat remind me of sea slugs!) I can't figure out what the blue girl is supposed to be though, besides maybe some type of (probably aquatic) bird?
