For those of us internationally, via flickr, IG, or what have you, many Korean doll collectors are showing off their cuties and making us drool over them, pining for one! Eeek!
One example is Atomaru's Doran Doran Aram dolls. I posted how you can buy one here. But, nowadays, she rarely releases internationally anymore. So, how does one obtain a Doran Doran doll? Sadly, in the secondary market! Through Yahoo Japan many can be found, even older releases, but be prepared to pay a hefty price! Like buying a BJD or a Vintage 1st Generation Licca chan doll or Pichi Pichi?! It's crazy! There are also a few on ebay, a lot less expensive, but still not the nice price we know she sells her dolls for... Ugh.

These cute dolls are smaller to Licca or just a tad smaller, with cute faces, cotton candy hair, and just plain adorable. After Atomaru's lovely creations, more and more individual Korean Doll artists are just popping up everywhere! It's awesome, and we want their dolls! But, it can be incredibly hard to try to order one or find any up for sale, even in the secondary market. That's probably because many collectors in Korea don't resell their cuties, they keep them.
