Another QueBan 1/6 BJD

Vaddon by QueBan is a 1/6 MJD BJD

I ordered a second vinyl 1/6 BJD by QueBan. This one has light blue- or aqua-rooted hair styled in two braids with bangs. Her name is Vaddon. She has the same head sculpt as the other 1/6 QueBan BJD dolls and a total of 16 joints, which includes the usual five points of articulation. Vaddon is 11 inches tall and has blue stationary eyes with synthetic fiber upper eyelashes, painted lower eyelashes, and a sprinkling of freckles across her cheeks and nose.

She was inside her box protected by a plastic shell. Her extra hands and boots were in a separate plastic bag.

The index fingers of the extra hands are curled under. All fingers are straight on the original hands.

After removing the skirt to iron down the pleats, I took a couple of snapshots of Vaddon. 

The skirt was removed in this picture and in the next.

Completely dressed

Vaddon wears a black long-sleeved crop top with cutouts at the elbows, a camouflage vest, black undies, a black pleated skirt, black over-the-knee socks, and brown faux suede lace-up boots that zip closed in the back. On the Amazon website, she is described as a trendsetter; however, rebel might be a more appropriate definition.

 

Trendsetter: Vaddon has been very naughty since s[he] was a child and likes to cause all kinds of destruction. She often runs away from home with her friends. She wore a camouflage coat and black skirt, her best-preserved outfit.

In this close-up, Vaddon's lovely face is captured. She looks too precious to be a rebel. So in this collection, she is not.

Vaddon and my redressed Jesui display well together.
 

In this pose from the back, the length of Vaddon's braids and the back of her boots are illustrated.

Vaddon will not be redressed for now.

To show both dolls in their original clothing without returning Jesui to her original clothes, I added the above-combined photos of the two dolls.

QueBan a 1/6 MJD BJD

Jesui is an 11-inch vinyl unstrung BJD by QueBan

I purchased Jesui after a doll-friend posted photos of two different QueBan dolls. There are five different dolls. 

Jesui has a caramel brown complexion, black-rooted hair, blue stationary eyes, and multiple points of articulation. She wears a neon yellow (described as green in the Amazon description) top and pants, and white high-top Chucks-style sneakers.

The details on the back of the box are shown in the next image.

Back-of-the-box details

Described as a 1/6 MJD BJD Cool Girl the height on the box is listed as 9 inches. My doll measures 11 inches from head to toe.

She came with an extra pair of hands.

Inside the box, Jesui was inside a plastic liner shaped to fit her body. Her extra pair of hands and white "Chucks" were packaged separately.

The index fingers on the extra pair of hands are curled under.

I have not tried the extra pair of hands on Jesui, but I did remove one of her existing hands to check the ease or difficulty of removing it. I pulled on the hand gently until it popped off.

She is a very cute doll with unique facial features.

Close-up of Jesui's face

All of the dolls have blue eyes. Hopefully, the company will include brown-eyed dolls in future releases. 

Redressing

I wanted to see if I had clothes on hand that fit Jesui. Before she arrived, I thought Sparkle Girlz fashions might fit, but they do not. Her body is larger than Sparkle Girlz’. My next thought was that Uncanaan 1/6 BJD clothes would fit. Some clothes made for 30 cm BJDs might fit depending on the style. Because  Ucanaan dolls are a full inch taller than QueBan dolls, clothes made for them will not fit perfectly. 

Jesui posed with a Ucanaan BJD to illustrate the height difference and for a complexion comparison. She has a light caramel complexion.

In this photo, Jesui wears a Uncanaan fashion. The sleeves of the blouse cover her hands, otherwise, the fit is okay.

In this photo, the sleeves are tucked under to give the illusion of a perfect fit.

I moved on to other clothes that did fit Jesui. I was surprised that some Curvy Barbie fashions fit well.

This is Zig and Zag Barbie Fashionista #57's dress. The shoes were made for 1/3 BJD dolls.

This is Barbie Fashionista #144's animal-print top and shorts worn with her own sneakers. #ad

While redressing, to prevent the hair from tangling, I banded her ponytails.

 

This is Barbie Fashionista #125's romper (the Fashionista with purple hair).

The next fashions were made for a variety of different dolls as described in the photo captions.

Made for 13- to 13-1/2-inch Sibahle (Paola Reina) dolls, this romper fits if the collar is pulled down more than required to do for the taller dolls.

This Boneka dress fits well. It is Monday’s Child Daria’s original dress. Daria, by Dianna Effner, is 10 inches tall, an inch shorter than Jesui.

This yellow dress and the raincoat in the next photo were made for 10-inch Georgia/Ann Estelle from Effanbee/Tonner’s Mary Engelbreit doll line from several years ago.

The raincoat fits loosely because Jesui is thinner than Georgia and Ann Estelle.

This nautical fashion was made for 1/6 BJDs. It fits well.

The pink Ucanaan skirt, top, stockings, and pink shoes are what Jesui continues to wear for now. I hope the company will add clothing for 1/6 MSD BJD QueBan dolls soon.

Trenton's New Wig

Trenton, a Ucanaan BJD, wears his original wig in this photo.

My plan (and this might still happen) had been to make a wig for my Ucanaan BJD boy by creating a wig cap and applying some of my saved hair to create an Afro. Time or my initiative to follow this plan through has not availed itself for this to happen. 

The wig that prompted a wig change/swap.

Recently, after deciding to re-wig a 1950s head-turning walker, and going through my stored doll wigs to find a wig for that doll, I found a small spiral curled wig that I had removed from a smaller doll years ago. I tried the spiral curled wig on my Ucanaan girl, Tina, and let Trenton wear the wig that Tina had been wearing. The wig change/swap is shown below.

Tina wears the rediscovered spiral curled wig. The wig she had been wearing is now worn by Trenton as illustrated next.

Initially, I thought this wig was too long for a boy because he's dressed in his school uniform, and perhaps the length of the wig would be against any school's policy. However, the rebel in me would go against any unreasonable policy that prevented a child from expressing themselves by wearing their hair in a way that allows self-expression and does not impose on anyone else. This hairstyle should not be an imposition to anyone. So he's wearing it.

Trenton and Tina pose together for this final picture.

The way Tina's hands are positioned, makes me think she wants something to hold. I wonder if that something needs to be a doll. We shall see.

Ucanaan New Wig, Redress, New Name

Paulette Goodreau's BJD Mirror in Cocoa complexion and Ucanaan's 1/6 BJD in brown complexion

This was supposed to be a quick post for my Ucanaan BJD to show the new wig I ordered for her. The new clothes I ordered had not arrived at the time I drafted this post, but they are here now, so I've added photos of her modeling the clothes. 

First, she's shown above in the last wig she wore that was borrowed from Goodreau's BJD that wears a dark brown Lizette wig that is not as flattering on her as the wig the Ucanaan doll borrowed. These wigs are shown above and below.

The Ucanaan doll wears part of a handmade '60s flower-power-inspired fashion (the Goodreau doll is dressed in a goth Teen Trends fashion).

In the next two pictures, Cocoa wears her preferred wig and the Ucanaan doll wears her new burgundy wig.

Both girls look better in their own wigs.

Full-length photo of the two wearing their own wigs

Cocoa requested that I never allow anyone else to wear any of her wigs, especially this one.

The new wig is a size 7/8; it fits the Ucanaan doll's head as it should and better than most of the size 6/7 wigs I already had.

Unfortunately, it's a bit too long but will be good for restyling.

The poncho she wears here was also handmade along with the top and pants this girl wears.

More Wigs

Just for fun, she tried on two more size 6/7 wigs that I already had. She settled on wearing her original wig with the poncho fashion.

This curly brown wig has bangs. It can be worn loose, as shown, or in two side ponytails. It would be more becoming on her with two ponytails.

This brown snug-fitting mohair wig has two thin braids on each side.

She wears her original wig in this photo.

While this post was in draft mode for about two weeks, two additional outfits arrived for Tina... her name is Tina. 

Most Recent Redresses

New clothes

Tina's two new fashions are a schoolgirl ensemble and a spring/summer suspender skirt fashion. Each fashion included a skirt, blouse, over-the-knee tights, hair accessory, necktie, and panties. The schoolgirl fashion also included a knit sweater. Neither fashion included shoes. The shoes were purchased separately.

Tina models the schoolgirl fashion and looks adorable in it.

She posed once from the back, which also illustrates how her original wig looks from that angle.

Finally, Tina tried on the pink suspender skirt ensemble. She looks equally adorable in it.

Since it's spring and almost summer, Tina will wear the cute pink suspender skirt for now. Will there be more redressing? No doubt! Will Tina get a friend? Maybe.

Ucanaan 1/6 BJD

The front of the Ucanaan BJD box has a full-length image of a blue-wigged 1/6 BJD and the URL to their website.

A couple of members of my doll group shared pictures of their 1/6 (12-inch) Ucanaan dolls, which piqued my interest in purchasing. I don't usually like dolls with anime facial features, but I decided to order one of these after I viewed their photos and had questions I posed answered to my satisfaction. I am more pleased with the doll  than I had imagined.

Inside the box, the doll, accessories, and a pair of yellow sneakers (a gift from the seller) were wrapped securely in plastic.

The Ucanaan 1/6 scale BJD is made of sturdy vinyl with unstrung ball joints that will not become "kicky" like other BJDs I have encountered. BJDs with multiple points of articulation can be posed several ways, but when they are strung, after a while, the stringing becomes tangled inside the dolls' bodies and the joints tend to move in undesired directions.

That won't happen with this girl whose unstring joints are in the five usual areas (the head, upper arms, and upper legs) and under the breasts, at the waist, at the elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles.

My doll was ordered from Amazon where a few different styles were available. I chose the doll dressed in a white T-shirt, blue jacket, and lavender crinoline skirt that has a gray fabric lining. Inside the box with the doll was also a Ucanaan booklet that features other 1/6 BJDs. The booklet text is written in Chinese.

Accessories include a comb, mirror, scepter, crown barrette, two elasticized ponytail holders, and several pastel-colored plastic hair bands.

Facial close-up

She has big brown eyes with applied upper eyelashes. Her light brown wig is straight with slightly flipped ends. The gray fabric headband has a gray fabric bunny on the side.

She took a few photos in different poses while wearing her original clothes.

Her clothes are stylish and made well.

The white T-shirt has an applique that reads "Doris" on the front. Initially, I thought "Doris" was her name, but the box identifies her as Xinyi (pronounced si-ne). Interestingly, DORIS DOLL is on the back of her head. So, I don't know what her name really is. Xinyi and Doris are probably both brand names.

The back of the wig is illustrated here.

What's Underneath

Except for the blotted-out breast area where the articulation is underneath the breasts, all points of articulation are illustrated here.

Two strips of Velcro hold her wig in place. One strip is on the top of the head.

The other Velcro strip is on the lower back of the head. The eyes cannot be changed because the head does not open.

Redressing

I found a few clothing items and shoes designed for 10- to 12-inch dolls as well wigs in size 6/7. I had fun redressing this girl as illustrated next.

This dress was made to fit Ann Estelle and her doll friend, Georgia. It fits perfectly and her free yellow sneakers match!

The above dress came with a raincoat, matching rain hat, and rain boots.

She likes this cute fashion.

In this picture and in the two immediately above, three ponytails were created with multiple clear rubber bands added to each ponytail. (She has two ponytails on the side and one in the back.)

This Boneka dress made for Donna Effner's 10-inch Monday's Child Daria is paired with white Mary Janes and her original white ankle socks.

The dress is cute, but it's a little too short.

Last one for now

She tried on one more dress with a couple of different shoes, and she changed her wig twice as illustrated next.

I believe this dress was made for Friends 2B Made dolls or it could be a Groovy Girls doll dress. The wig is the poor quality Afro wig that came with Tonner's All-Natural Lizette shown on the right in this photo. The black shoes she's wearing are too big for her, but she tried them on anyway.

This black mohair wig is a better fit and a better look for her. The black Converse-style sneakers complement the poodle dress.

Here is a close-up of the better wig that she borrowed from my American BJD by Paulette Goodreau. The Goodreau BJD now wears the straight wig that came with All-Natural Lizette seen on the left in this picture. 

Here is her final photo for now.

I ordered two more fashions for this girl and some extra pairs of shoes. She'll be back in a while after the new fashions and shoes arrive. 

In case your interest is also piqued, here is a link to the Amazon 1/6 Ucanaan BJD doll page.
