What places online are the best to buy a Miniature Adult Doll?

What size are you referring to ? 12" Phicen ? Or bigger

Yeah, it's a bit of a difficult question to answer if you're not specific.

I've got a BJD, she's 60cm (1/3 scale) but you can get some around 45cm. Take a look at Iplehouse or Fairyland, they are a couple of manufacturers amongst many who produce adult looking dolls between 45 and 70cm tall. The best place to buy them is the factory as a lot of recasts (fakes) are sold on E-bay.
Then there are Phicens which I think are 1/6 size. There are dealers around for them too and there's a good one in the North of England. There's another manufacturer who makes dolls similar to Phicens but I can't remember the name.

If I told you then there would be less for me.....

Yeah I guess I didn't really explain my question enough. But I'll check out Iplehouse and Fairyland. Thanks!

It depends on what your budget it and what sort of doll you want. For example, the last bjd I bought was a cervitaur (deer and human). I went direct to the company Resin Soul to order. You can also check some dealers such as Junky Spot, Denver Doll Emporium and Mint on Card. They are all US dealers and will not sell you a fake (recast) doll.

I'm very active in my local bjd collector community... hosting meetups and the like. I am more than happy to help with any bjd related questions or concerns. Just send me a pm and I'll be right back to you asap.

I normally try and get my Phicens from, well Phicen directly. Problem is they are so popular that if you don't hit just as they start selling new models they will be out in a matter of days!!

At least with the Phicens and their exclusive packaging it is not worth the effort to create counterfeits (my opinion, no facts just observation).

I have bought 3 from eBay, 6 from Phicen direct and now just ordered one from Amazon (like I said they sell out in a matter of days so I have to bite the bullet to get this one).

Phicens are hard to buy... I think they take pre-orders??? I am not so sure. My doll focus is very, very narrow. I have seen them on ebay, so congrats on those finds. I cannot say if they are subject to recasting (counterfeits) or not... I have no idea.

I hope you have a good experience with your Amazon order. Which did you order???

One of the older models:

I wanted this one, their web site said it would be available soon for pre ordering. I tried to get one in mid March, told to wait till April when they would be available. Well when I tried to order her on the 12th of April, all sold out and not scheduled for recasting.

Item No：PL2016-85
Item Name：Arhian Head Huntress 1/6th Scale Action

OHHHHH AHHHH Neat!!!!!

I hope you are able and willing to share some pics when she comes home.

I'm sure if you keep your eyes open... you can find her as well.

I also have to say... I love your screen name. My father was a fan of the Lone Ranger. It always gives me a warmth whenever I see a reference.

Thanks! Been a big fan of the LR since I was a little boy listening to him on the Radio (yes I am old enough to NOT of had a TV as a child until I was almost 10 lol)

I share a LOT of, maybe a bit of an overload, of pictures......

Pretty!!!!!!!!!

Great info! I've been looking at getting a phicen doll but money is tight right now so I'm looking for a decent deal but still getting the quality doll I want. I saw a thread about someone making counterfeit phicen dolls so I'm going to hold off ordering one for a bit until I find a reputable dealer.

I've bought several 1/6 female action figures, including Phicen, on Ebay and never had an issue. But, I do take a close look at the vendor's feedback rating and avoid ones with low ratings or very few sales. I also look at what other items they have for sale. There are a few vendors on there that specialize in 1/6 action figures and their accessories. Those are the folks I gravitate towards. But, counterfeits are always a possibility nowadays. I don't worry as much about it on a sub $100 item as I would if buying a Rolex watch.
