I love buying doll props cheaply. Even if you get something that isnt' too well made, you can work on it and make it better. Aliexpress has a heap of items, that can be used as BJD or 18 inch doll props. Most are pretty good quality for their price value and the shipping is reasonable or free (to NZ). SCROLL DOWN TO SEE PURCHASING LINKS.
When I'm looking for doll props, keychains, phone charms or pen charms are great. Generally the items are 1/6 or 1/4 size, but occassionally these can fit onto 1/3s or been seen as a lesser product (for example I'd see the Fanta bottle as a 1.5 L on a 1/6 doll but a 600ml bottle on a 1/3). Aliexpress has a wide range of these charms and the prices can't be beat. You can also see from my video that the quality is fine. Why pay more when you don't have to? I will defend buying artist work, such as Etsy doll prop artists, but I noticed that a few of their art items do include Aliexpress base items (like the frappuccino cups). So before you buy something for $20, see if you can pick it up and DIY for $10 ;).
Aliexpress 1/6 clothing I've reviewed before. You cannot sniff at the price to value items. I cannot cut material for $6 worth of my time, let alone sew it. Now they do lack overlocking and some items are more well made than others. However, consider buying them as a base and then fixing any kinks yourself with a needle and thread. I love , love , LOVE the striped set. Eden is going to wear it for a while and I cannot fault it. Check out previous videos to see other sets. Every so often you will get a doozy outfit that isnt' sewed well , but the gamble generally pays off. I haven't tried many 1/4 outfits from there and 1/3 Aliexpress outfits I highly recommend making sure they aren't made for their oversized 1/3 playline BJDS (not strung or BJDs as considered on the modern market). If you buy an item for their playline big dolls it won't fit your authentic 1/3 BJDs well. At least they have always been slightly too big for mine. There are 1/3 BJD clothing that does fit authentic BJDs but they are on the higher end $ value even on Aliexpress. All that waffle aside, I highly recommend 1/6 sets from there.
Aliexpress shoes, like 1/3 clothing above, check reviews to make sure they aren't made for their faker 1/3 playline BJD dolls. These shoes are oversized for the recasts and will not happily fit a general authentic 1/3 BJD doll. However, there are exceptions such as the sneakers I show in this video. I can't fault the sneakers and I have brought them several times over. I love them! The 1/4 or 1/6 Aliexpress doll shoes I have purchased for BJDs I haven't had too many issues with on sizing.
The Aliexpress 18 inch doll shoes are cute and well worth the cost, same with the socks.
The Aliexpress BJD cat is most definately a recast. It is adequate for its cost point. I have seen these oriental cat BJDs, fully painted, go for US$500+ dependant on size and face up/body painting. His head is a little bit on the small size which makes him a bit goofy looking, but he will do for a photoshoot.
