| Three sizes offered. |
Since last November, I discovered a doll while doing my usual searches. This ball jointed girl doll with wig sold nude, that was decently priced on an online Japanese shop site. I bought it and had to do more research to find out what the name of this bjd was... I ended up opening a whole can of worms. Back in the early 2000s, I was obsessed with Unoa Quluts, then Dollmore, then elfdolls, Secret dolls and so on. By around 2010, I stopped buying bjds mostly because it was just too expensive a hobby. The dolls went upwards of twelve hundred or so. Nope not for me. Funny because Rushtons are that way now for rare ones. Haha! At least I know myself and am able to stop or quit cold turkey when its something I can no longer convince myself to buy or afford. LMAO!

Anywho, I found out that this nude adorable chubby girl was called, "Puppy Cotton Candy" well at least by the seller who solely sells them via lottery to Japan bjd collectors. A ball jointed doll with a chubby cute look and feet with paws like that of a puppy. I saw that puppy ears can be bought separately if you want. The original makers are in China and are called, "Budda BJD" in English. There are two creators, one for the head and one for the body of this adorable doll. They are sold in China as well, and are slowly gaining popularity in Japan and to those who happen upon them sometimes being resold in the secondary markets, like I did.
There are three sizes that I know of, 1/3 or 20cm, 1/6 or 13cm and the smallest is 1/16 or 5cm version!! I was so in awe of the 1/16 scale version. There are only a few Japanese bjd collectors that own this size and you can see some on Instagram or X. Before long, I was on the hunt for a 1/16 version. I searched most of November last year, and beginning of December. I found a 6cm size twice and bought them hoping they were the same ones. But sadly, they weren't and the skin color is paler than the one I had seen from other collectors. Ugh.

By December 22nd, when I was doing my early morning searches... Low and behold, there was the 5cm listed randomly with its resin wig. Probably listed from the night before. I jumped on it and bought it! I waited a few days for my friend to get her/him and I immediately had her ship him to me and in less than a week for him to arrive. When he did, I was so in awe at how teeny tiny he was. He is fully ball jointed with an "S" hook inside his little head with little itty bitty eyes!! His face paint was not bad either he came with pink eyes and white resin hair wig. The doll is a her/him as it is very androgynous to me and I love that it is. Hehe!

| Chubby body too! So cute! |
So Kawaii!!! I immediately took photos and even saved photos of other collector's small puppy cotton candy. Trust me, you will also fall in love with these tiny babies. They are even smaller than Secret Doll Baby Fairies. The price of BJDs haven't change and are still expensive, depending on where and what you are buying. I try not to collect BJDs anymore, but I am absolutely obsessed with these small puppy cotton candy dolls. You can find them on Chinese shopping sites too. These small PCCs will have you wanting them!! I just saw a post by the Japan seller saying that many are asking him to allow more sales of the small pcc's. His answer was that the makers are a small company and can only make a small amount at one time. Darn!
Sadly, if you are hoping to buy right away you will have to wait for the only Japan seller, to post the sells of them and he will choose by lottery when you fill out a questionnaire to apply to buy one. The seller also has strict rules... You can't resell at high prices and can only resell at price you paid. This is one way of keeping the dolls from being costly. Which I understand. For a fully painted doll with eyes still nude sells for around just under two hundred US dollars, ones unpainted without eyes are cheaper at fifty US dollars. You can however find them on Chinese shopping sites if you look hard enough. They are sold more easily there without a lottery system, I believe.

| Little blouse and skirt I made. |
By the way they are tricky to make clothes for, but some Japanese artists have been able too. They are even tinier than Kewpie key chain dolls!! Haha! I've tried my hand at making tiny blouse and skirt for mine. She is so small you can take her around! I have yet to be brave enough to do that. But I definitely have a carrying case I modified just for him! Teehee! I've already bought some eyes to change out too from a seller in Japan who makes eyes for his size! I've also found a shop seller who makes tiny knitted bunny coat and dresses for them!

I am hoping to get myself at least one more with a tan body. We will see... Love to hear what you might think of these tiny cuties or if you own one already?
Thanks for stopping by! ~ ggsdolls
