The $20 'ball jointed doll' Ye Luo Li

Ok, so she's not really a BJD, but cute anyway?

Her proportions are similar to a chunky YoSD doll, with a 6-7 head.

So her journey from China must have been a little rough, she had pulled herself free of her constraints!

Bit dubious about the CE mark, but ok.

Her face is funny but quite cute I think. Her nose was quite dirty. She comes with eye decals buuuut I ruined mine. She also comes with a bad wig that's too big, so I threw it away.

Her extra hands.

 So here's something odd. I tried changing her hand and it just wouldn't go on, and noticed the hand I'd taken off has a trimmed stem, but they hadn't bothered trimming the spares. It cuts easily with scissors anyway.

Overall her body isn't bad, but her shins and ankles are... Mad.

She has a cute wing design on her back. Her parts are different plastics and as you can see vary in colour. For some reason she has a soft waist but hard chest.

Wearing YoSD sized wig, dress and shoes.

Her posing is pretty fun, she got plenty of joints to play with.



Overall verdict? She's definitely a 'toy' rather than an adult collectors item. and I kinda like that. Her quality is fairly low, she has some open seams, varying colours and staining, all of which would put off an adult collector.

But for a child, she's a fun size, nice and light, and unlikely to break.

  1. Huh, she has a very cute face and lots of joints! Strange mix of hard and soft plastic it seems though. Thanks for linking this review on DolliehSanctuary!
