Maydoll Lemon Cats

Oh that's perfect! Thank you! The tan is so pretty!

Do we know if there is a skin match for maydoll tones with other popular brands? I'm wondering if I can use some of the heads on like kumako bodies..hmmmm or vice versa? 

Also I just made my order with Superbuy and I'm nervous but also excited!! I've never done a doll pre-order before TwT!! This is my first time buying new!!

Heads up to anyone wanting to order -- pre-order closes in a few days!

I recently took the plunge and ordered the serval head, female body, 2-part torso. I ended up ordering thru Dollection because a couple of websites are offering a darker tan color and Dollection is one of them. They described it as MYOU dark tan.

I ordered a darker tan because after buying a few tan dolls, I feel like tan isn't dark enough. And it's very rare for doll companies to offer a darker tan, especially chubby anime-style dolls like these. I know at one point Puyoo sold very dark tan dolls, but I've never seen them for sale anywhere.

If anyone is curious what the darker tan looks like, Anubisdoll shows a comparison on their sales page for the doll.

@iPOUT  Congratulations! Serval is my favorite too. They're precious! Darker tans are too rare these days- some resin companies make them, but you have to pay through the nose. I hope she's everything you're wishing for.

Thank you! 😄 Yeah, I've noticed some companies do charge higher for darker tan but some are very fair in the price. I only had to pay $30 for the darker tan for this doll, which isn't bad when you consider that this doll comes with extra hands. ^_^

For those of you who preordered via superbuy — did they send you a shipping email? 
 

I got a weird email this morning saying that my tracking needs to be updated — but these items are on preorder so I’m really confused??? 
 

it’s my first time using this proxy so idk what is going on! 😭

Do we have an idea about when approx they’ll be ready? I’m so excited! 

(I think) I saw that maydoll has some 1/4 girls with large busts that also seem to come in tan. Does anyone know if the large bust from those dolls could be swapped onto the lemoncat body? Or some other way to mod a resin doll to have a large bust. It seems a lot easier on a vinyl ;m;. Other brands skin tone might not match, but either way I feel like matching the color will be so hard. 
But im thinking whenever i manage to get one i want her to have a big bust, with those chubby legs i think itd be so cute! And shes got one of my favorite head sculpts!

Heard from my proxy! Lemoncat's from the Aug/Sept order will be requesting final payment next month! Whoohoo!

Lemoncat is being shipped to Superbuy now!!! I can't wait to get her!

Sadly the heads/extra parts are not ready yet -- but maybe I can find another body in time for a second order huhu~ 

Hello! After reading through this thread I just had a couple questions, sorry if they were previously discussed, (⁠ ⁠；⁠∀⁠；⁠) Does anyone know when the next preorder for Lemoncat will be available? And if so, is the only way to purchase one through a third party like superbuy, or do any sites like Janesdolland or DOLK sell them as well? I have yet to buy any bjd as I'm very new to the scene still, but I think Lemoncat might be THE one! They are so very cute and precious!!!!! ♡⁠(⁠˃͈⁠ ⁠દ⁠ ⁠˂͈⁠ ⁠༶⁠ ⁠)

Bittersweet post 😞

I ordered a Lemoncat back in the fall batch and received him a few weeks ago. He's great! His face is super cute and the body is really nice, I love how well it poses.

Unfortunately it looks like Maydoll just announced on Weibo that they will be shutting down 😭 I got the news from DoA so that's all I really know, but it's really a shame.

I am sad they are closing. Makes me wish I ordered the tan serval or a tan lemoncat. 

Man, why is it always the dollmakers with the very cute chubby boy bodies, first DF-H discontinuing their anime style chubby body, now Lemoncat just closing alltogether ... it really is a shame.

This is really sad, I missed the lemoncat order because of being so broke, now I'll probably never have one, unless I get really lucky

This is so sad I really loved how cute their designs look. Wasn't able to swing for them this order period, guess it's second hand from here.

It is sad news, but it seems like at least the artist is not giving up making dolls for good. From what I can tell they're just slowing down, but it seems like they have plans for releasing a 1/6 version of lemon cat at some point.

Hey, if anyone here was interested in the 1/6 version of lemon cat, Spacestudio BJD has a preorder for them until July 1! I wasn't expecting them to be ready so soon, but apparently they were further along than I thought!

Obviously it's under the new company name Caroro Doll, and the sculpt has been renamed Sweet Chi Cat! I'll be getting the type B head on the human body... all of the other heads are open mouth heads, and I've realized that I have a hard time with sculpted mouths that aren't inset. 😝

Oh no, they are sweet ... I really don't need more unplanned doll family members in my houehold, so I will say no, but some of the head sculpts are tempting.

Cute droopy eyes make me weak very quickly.

Hhhh, I really don't have the money to spare for a new doll right now, so I'll regrettably have to pass. Which is so tragic, I've always wanted a Lemon Cat! Hopefully this will not be the final order for former Maydolls?

@Giragira @Kissamaagi

It seems there are some leftovers for lemoncat and serval cat. 

I wrote newcloversinging and asked if maybe some were available and was able to order a light tan Lemoncat! I am so happy 

So if someone hopes to get one you might still have a chance

I found these owner photos on Xianyu (Xianyu is a Chinese secondhand sales app, I think these are active listings?) and though they're definitely from the last preorder they still might give some insight:

They were from two separate listings and (I believe) 2 separate sellers.

the littol teeth are so fricking cute. Also loveee that faceup, such fun lashes. definitely saving for inspo
