Im so glad playline doll people are covering these dolls! These are perfect doll for people to get the feel for strung elastic dolls and im so happy theyre popular. We would have killed for these back in like 2008 😭
AHH i am so happy you covered these dolls!! i have been WAITING for your video on them ever since i got some, i knew you would be getting them too because as a mermaid lover... how could you not?? the way the tails are made feels so innovative and revolutionary! they are CRAZY fun to play with and pose. plus the well constructed, beautiful outfits, how every mermaid feels totally unique and her own character but they all look so good together... i CANNOT recommend these dolls more highly! this is it! this is what i've been wanting from a mermaid doll and Penny's Box has made my dream come true!! 🥺💖
also wanted to say i too am so hype for the insect and dragon dolls!! KikaGoods stays getting the coolest stuff! i'm really excited that Penny's seems to be using the same technology from the mermaid tails for the dragon bodies, with even more sections! how cool is that?? and the insect girls look so unique and detailed, i already ordered some and as a bug lover as well i am just so happy dolls like this are being made for such a good price ;w;
The bug girls are the ones I’m most excited about… they’re not super innovative in actual execution but the designs absolutely are!! I adore them 🥺🥺 - These are seriously so natural and fun to pose! There’s very little I can’t do when I’m posing them- I love it. The way these Chinese BJD companies have EXPLODED with ideas and fantastic execution of those ideas in the past few years is incredible. You used to have to spend $200+ just for the tail for a mermaid BJD even from companies (individual artists I understand… but big companies?? Huh??)
I bought 3 mermaid dolls from a different website for my granddaughter. They are jointed dolls with very pretty rooted hair and decorative hair pieces. Also their tails come off and they have feet underneath. I look for playability as I buy for kids. I think they are much prettier than these dolls, but that’s subjective. The dolls you are showing are very interesting! The cost per doll I paid was between $9-12 Cdn. These seem to be around the $30 price point. Too much for me, but I’m sure anime collectors will love these! And ty for all the info you present. I’ve started collecting just now, for my granddaughters, and your advice has been invaluable!
I love these. The green is my favorite. I would love to see alien BJDs, with antennas, multiple arms, 1 to 4 eyes, big ears like Yoda, fantasy skins. Stuffs like that. Will you review the other mermaid dolls too?
Ohh thank you! It’s good to know. I might end up doing it for a photo shoot but I’ll (begrudgingly) take them apart dry fry them :O I wouldn’t have thought of it!
@@xCanadensisAs long as you keep track of the parts, restringing is really easy. There are really good tutorials on yt. There are tricks to make the dolls hold poses better. I know Kikagoods made a video about the wire one. The second one works better on larger dolls and that is to put a thin layer of hot glue between the joints. You can also use thin rubber disks if you don't want to use hot glue, but those usually require that you take the doll apart.
Ever since they were announced/teased, I just knew you were gonna add them to your collection, haha. They're all so pretty!! The Antu line artists really outdone themselves! I definitely wanna get the whole set, I don't have the heart to buy just one when all the mermaids are so lovely 😭💕
I cannot resist a beautiful mermaid 🥺 I definitely love the Antu dolls… they are really, really cool. They are so good at bringing an interesting concept to life!
The unicorn horn on mermaids makes them look like cute little narwhals it's really adorable... Also i love the mermaid whose color scheme looks like the transgender flag she's so cutes
Uggg, you've started a new obsession!! I can't stop thinking about getting these. I was going to just get one, then three, and now I want to get all 6!? My wallet is not going to be happy regardless... 😅😆😍
The dragons are AMAZING! Their gender is ambiguous to me but that’s mostly because I don’t want to look too closely at them since I intend to review them and want to be surprised :P
I have the little Antu with darker skin too and I dabbed a tiny bit of hot glue in her joints (without taking her apart). She stands super sturdily now and holds any pose really well.
I ordered one thanks to you and your trustworthy and detailed reviews! I got Jellyfish!! Unfortunately tho I broke one of the straps on her dress and the little beads fell off! I blame myself for that and not the company, still looooove the doll regardless!
Ive been looking at these for a while and debating but now seeing the size !! 😶😶 i may have to get one i feel like these would also look good on a mermaid display with mermaze
These are absolutely gorgeous! I do think these have lighter skin because it's a Chinese brand. Diversity is much lower in that country and even then foreigners aren't really taken into account when making these toys (thinking of Licca-chan for Japan as well). So even if diverse skin tones would look cute, I feel like fantasy skin colours would happen way before they'd even consider darker human skin colours
Oh I absolutely know there’s a lot of colorist issues over there but Chinese people actually can be quite dark. I know they’re mostly an ethnostate so I don’t expect literal diversity but not even representing your own people when you’ve done it before is a choice. Even Han Chinese are considerably darker in skin tone than this. It’s different and I don’t hold other countries to the social standards of the US but when I see a brand walk backwards it is frustrating
@@xCanadensis I think it's the same reason as why kpop idols are whitewashed so much or why they're so racist in such countries towards South-East Asian people as well. Darker skin is still seen as ugly and often still connected to poverty :((
I really want the red one since it looks like a Koi/goldfish mermaid (in japanese it sounds funny 'Kingyo Ningyo'😁) But the jelly fish one and the pink one that looks like Rainbow High Victoria
Aww I love these I just got one with your code can't wait to see which one I get I usually don't do blind boxes but I love all of them definitely hoping i get Jellyfish or the coral one🧜
I’m not really sure what you’re implying but this situation is more like a seal or walrus where they use the tail for many things as opposed to just balance and signaling
@@xCanadensis Thanks! :) Yeah. I think part of the brain rattle is because the dolls are mostly all packed, and I'm rather attached to the ones I'm keeping. heh
If they won't send them to u - will u still review their other 2 new mermaid lines? (Mermaid Chuchu and Mermaid Island). I would really love to see a review from you on those. Tbh, I like those a lot better than these, I'm not a huge fan of the baby faces 🤷♀️ Love the tail articulation and the tops, though!
I plan to buy quite a few sets!! It just depends on my finances. I have a trip to a toy show next month that is gonna make me be a lot stingier than usual with online shopping. I’m hoping to get those cool Dragons and the Mermaid Chuchu soon!
There's not, but some sites will allow you to pick the one you want. You can also search bjd doll on Mercari or Ebay, sometimes people sell them if they get one they don't want :)
@@Girlgirlughwhatever i just bought a basic digital camera for underwater 😅 it’s from like 2016 so it’s no longer sold. But any store that he cameras will have something similar
The unboxing part is simply an unboxing - it’s not meant to be a review part. There is a long, detailed and close-up HD showcase of the dolls for the majority of the video.
I want to see snake girls, too! Maybe some spider bodied girls as well. I love my centaurs and these mermaids are gorgeous!
You mean like nagas and driders? Gosh! I would love to see that too!
Im so glad playline doll people are covering these dolls! These are perfect doll for people to get the feel for strung elastic dolls and im so happy theyre popular. We would have killed for these back in like 2008 😭
Wow they are so gorgeous!! I loooove the transparent tails! I agree, darker skin tones would be so beautiful!! ❤❤❤
Now that you have opened this I really want to se the dragon ones! They are still in preorder but i can't wait to see them!

Incredible beautiful mermaids!!!!
Super cute mermaids I’m all about these ❤
When I First Saw The Mermaid BJDs I Was So Excited I Love Mermaids So Much!
ME TOO!! I couldn’t believe they were doing these at a mass scale!! So exciting
Their tails look like candy....why do I wanna eat them :D WFT is wrong with me :D
Very cute figurines!
They really do look like candy 😭 the colors and the transparency

These cost more bc they are art dolls. They are not for little kids. I don't know the age for these but most art toys/dolls/figurines are 15+.
I love these. The green is my favorite.
I would love to see alien BJDs, with antennas, multiple arms, 1 to 4 eyes, big ears like Yoda, fantasy skins. Stuffs like that.
Will you review the other mermaid dolls too?
living for the editing
The sound affects were so funny, love that the editing is getting better
Haha thank you! I bought a much better editing software :)
Please don't submerge bjds! The elastic can mold if you don't take the doll completely apart and dry it properly!
Ohh thank you! It’s good to know. I might end up doing it for a photo shoot but I’ll (begrudgingly) take them apart dry fry them :O I wouldn’t have thought of it!
Yes, I was about to comment this but decided to see if someone else had mentioned it first.

Oh I feel that so hard 😂😂😂
Yay~ I love the Chinese art doll videos!
They're soooo adorable i have had my eye on these
I have been SOOOO excited!! I wasn’t sure how the tails would move in person so I’m very pleasantly surprised 😆😆😆
Just wow, wow these dolls are so amazing!especially because I’m obsessed with anything mermaids🩵definitely hope to get my hands on one of these dolls!
Omg these dolls look sooooo good ! I'm impressed by the clothes ! I absolutely need one now !
i hope they make more mermaid dolls same line with different mermaids! an anime would be nice too!
They're so cuuuuuute! I think the green one is my favorite. 😍 Dragon girls?? Yes please!

are you planning on getting the special skeletal mermaid they have on kikagoods? I think she looks so cool
I been watching these for over month. Hoping that you'd review them! 😭 this may have just sold me on them!
There soooo adorable I just added them on my Amazon cart there so adorable I even found bunny ones too def buying them when I can ❤😊😆
I think these are my faves thus far😭🫶🏿✨️
Def on my wish list to get 1 of these still gotta get a centaur too ❤️❤️❤️
I ordered one thanks to you and your trustworthy and detailed reviews! I got Jellyfish!! Unfortunately tho I broke one of the straps on her dress and the little beads fell off! I blame myself for that and not the company, still looooove the doll regardless!
Oh no :( I’m so sorry! Was it easy to fix? I’ve had a few have clothing issues but not any of the Penny’s Box ones… at least not yet
I just ordered one for my birthday!!! Be a nice surprise mer! Lets hope we get boys in the future! Thank you for the video 😅😅
I hope they do boys!! Have you seen the dragon boys they’ve done? At least I think they’re intended to be boys..

omg all of the colors look more saturated in this video?? it looks so nice :D
Bahaha someone finally learned to color grade videos
빨간머리인어 색감이 눈에 띄게 이뻐요~❤❤❤❤

Awww how cute! I knew mermaid but not the other word
Aww I love these I just got one with your code can't wait to see which one I get I usually don't do blind boxes but I love all of them definitely hoping i get Jellyfish or the coral one🧜
핑크랑 화이트 꽃잎으로 되어 있는 인어 순수하구 요정같아요❤❤
These are sooo cool and beautiful! Do you think putting a little bow or something on Leaf's tail fin would make the color change less jarring?
I want to do some delicate little chains and pearls for sure- I think bows would match too 🥺
my favorite one is the oiple coral one
I love Coral and Jellyfish
I wonder if the penny box dragon faces can be swapped out with these ones so the mermaids can have the inset eyes head 🤔
You might have luck securing the hip fins with a tiny bit of museum gel. 🖐️
These dolls are so cool I need the link Brooke
There called antu and its a artists ocs, pennys box is the company that makes them
I love your channel hope your having a wonderful day
Can you please try if the nendoroid clothes will fit them or the bunny series ❤
These are my favourite of the blind box mermaids, because of how the tails are jointed. I don't really like it when the tail has leg type joints.
I’m not really sure what you’re implying but this situation is more like a seal or walrus where they use the tail for many things as opposed to just balance and signaling
@@xCanadensis I realized I didn't know what I was saying either, so I changed the comment. Sorry about that. Packing is sucking out my brain.
I was trying so hard to understand what you meant by that 😭 you have nothing to apologize for I was just genuinely so confused
@@xCanadensis Thanks! :)
Yeah. I think part of the brain rattle is because the dolls are mostly all packed, and I'm rather attached to the ones I'm keeping. heh
They have more cute mermaids that are sitting in seashell chairs. I may get those because they look easier to display.
I’m very curious about those as well!!
have you seen the dragons yet? Penny Box Fantastic Creatures Series. They are awesome! Also gorgeous mermaids I need at least one.
I have!! I’m really interested in the bug girls and them right now… and the other mermaids… I’m in trouble bahaha
