Where do I find stores that sell nendoroids in Los Angeles⁉️

Where do I find stores that sell nendoroids in Los Angeles⁉️

Hi everyone! I love to collect nendoroids, but most of the time I only seem to be able to find ones online or at least the ones I want. I live in LA, so I often try stores in the area of Little Tokyo, but the ones I’ve been to almost always only have a VERY small selection. I haven’t checked out all the stores there so I could be missing out but idk. I’ve been seeing all these posts with stores FULL of nendoroids and other figures (like the photo i attached) and I YEARN for the in person shopping experience‼️ I only like to collect real Nendoroids and not bootlegs, which sometimes makes shopping online difficult unless I want to pay hundreds of dollars. I have definitely spent over 100 on almost all of my Nendoroids because I buy them online and I would really just be able to walk into a store and get some! I know they’d still be expensive, but even just for the experience I’d go! Thanks everyone‼️🫶

Melody is a summer girl ☀️🕶️

Just some photos I took of Mel basking in the sun! It’s been pretty overcast here in LA recently, so I’ve not been able to get many good photos. I really need to get better at posing my girls 😭✌️

Updated record player‼️ (more accurate scaling, cleaner + to scale printable for making vinyls!!)

Hi!! Me again! It’s been a little bit, but I’m back with the NEW AND IMPROVED RECORD PLAYER 2.0‼️🎉 I was working with a new superglue this time which made this project a LOT harder, but it came out soo much nicer!! I’m so happy with the result and I’m so glad I made another one!! Google slides was my best friend for this cause I made a slideshow printable (retreating to my old ways since I frequently used slides to make printables in the past for my dolls back in middle & elementary school) and made a scale rectangle and circle of what the record player’s size should be. I have a record player so I was using the size of mine vs me for reference. This would be a bit of a larger record player than mine in their scale but I don’t mind that! Since I used my printable to make these, that now means I can accurately make records to size for them to play on their all new improved player!! I included some comparison photos as well as the player vs the doll’s size. My record player is a bit longer than the length of my forearm, so I think the scaling is near perfect!! Another cute accessory for a future diorama‼️ (maybe diorama dropping soon⁉️) anyways, toodles! Love y’all!

Sorry this lowkey just really pissed me off as a girl with a larger chest. No hate to the original commenter at all, but we seriously need to stop saying that bigger chests = weird & $3xualized. I started collecting smart dolls in 2019 and seeing dolls on the market with larger chest options that weren’t just meant for adults really boosted my confidence. That’s part of the reason I have such a deep passion for these dolls. There’s options for everyone when it comes to smart dolls: amputee, Skintone variety, birthmarks, different body styles. That’s what makes them so great! Why is it that all that’s okay but them having options for bigger chests makes them “weird”? It’s just really disappointing to see. Not only small chests exist and it’s wonderful that we’re all different but why look down on a certain feature of someone else and deem it not appropriate for children? People with bigger chests exist and some of them ARE children like I was feeling super insecure because it’s not often portrayed in a way that’s appropriate. Sorry for the rant, I just felt some type of way abt that. Love y’all‼️

Now, I’m sure you’re right wondering where is Chitose?? Well, my mom was just giving me a SNEAK PEAK of her by letting me unbox her and I won’t be seeing her until my birthday 😢 AND I found out she actually got Kanata out of storage too and is saving her for my birthday⁉️ Well, now I’ve got something to look forward to‼️ I’m SO excited but it’s bittersweet having to put her back in the box… I miss them BOTH sm but I’ll see them in early July so not too long of a wait I guess, hopefully by then I’ll have clothes for them. Just wanted to show Melody, Athena, Miku & Mirai chilling in the closest! They look SO adorable‼️ ignore how messy my closet is, these are the only shelving units I have in my room, so the girlies have to make do 😓

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 8 days ago

I made her some fun new jewelry and there’s a TON more I just haven’t shown here bc it’s being modeled by my spare body who has no clothes lol. I barley have enough clothes for my girls let alone my spare body! Athena is rocking the new wig and a fancy new top I got not long ago! Hope you enjoy her cute little photo! Again, sorry for poor quality & posing, I’m just feeling lazy .

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 8 days ago

Hello!! Back again here to share a quick pic of Athena in a wig I purchased from Etsy that I’ve been seeing everyone’s Kanata dolls rocking! My Kanata is still in storage, so Athena’s keeping it warm for her! Also got a new top I might post later! She’s such a cutie in this wig istg I love her smmm‼️ Still wanna snag her a pair of pretty brown eyes I think it would really compliment her skin and her new hair! I’m super biased towards brown eyes tho lol. Though most of my dolls will be keeping their og eye colors, I just need to scratch the itch of giving Athena some brown eyes

Okay I was gonna bid on this listing on eBay to get this adorable top for my smarties BUT THE BIDDING ENDED EARLY 💔🥀😭 PLEASSEEE help me find this top‼️ anyone selling it or know someone who as it PLEASE TWINS‼️ I’ve searched eBay and Mercari i have found NOTHING 💔💔 pls my life is yours if u can find this

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 10 days ago

She’s looking extra fab today! Maybe I should get her a new purse to better fit the look? Or maybe I’m just looking for an excuse to get them another coach bag lol 😭

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 11 days ago

No but fr i literally don’t have enough clothes to support this army of six smarties so some get left in the dust 💔 (like only 2 of them have shirts) I actually have like 8 diff shirts for them but some just don’t fit anymore bc big chested girlies and some are in the wash bc my fluffy cats got to them 🥀

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 11 days ago

EEEEEE‼️ Welcome to your new home, Chitose Shirasawa!!! She's so beautiful I absolutely ADORE her‼️Tbh the wig is not doing anything for me tho, l liked her og hair better but I'll find a pretty wig for her!
I like the short hair but the color just needs to be a bit lighter for my liking. Also excuse the bizzare outfit I genuinely do not have enough clothes for all my girls 😭 (it's 6 now once I get Kanata out of storage! I have a growing army!) also excuse the stickers, Reddit flagged this nsfw even though she’s wearing a top so I just blocked out the cleavage lol. The uncovered photos are on my insta, but I think these are just as good if not better!

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 12 days ago

Hi everyone! Back posting here again! I’ve been wondering this for a while because every time I check, it’s just Chitose in pear which while she’s adorable, I just ordered myself an og Chitose so I’d like to get a doll with another anime face that isn’t chitose. I would love to get a pear doll, but they seem to mainly only sell them in semi real. I’m more of a fan of the anime style faces and all my current dolls have anime faces. Does anyone know if more anime pear dolls will be released in the future?

Inspired by another girl’s smartie swag I saw. I don’t remember her user, but just wanted to give credit! I made these real quick and realized I never shared them on here. Thinking of bedazzling her jeans (⁉️)

Just wanted to share a quick photo I took of two of my cuties‼️✨ Full group photos coming soon💕 (and hopefully a full diorama too‼️) Also, filter or no filter? The vibe is kinda cute

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 13 days ago

Hi! I’ve been posting here a LOT today with exciting updates in my smarties’ world. With that being said, with such a big group of dolls, I don’t really have enough clothes for them. I barely have enough for the ones I have now! That’s part of the reason the other girls went in storage while I was moving. I only had enough clothes for Melody but ended up getting Athena as a gift when I lived in my other house. With Miku out of the garage, Mirai out of storage now and Chitose on the way plus Kanata STILL in storage, I need more clothes! I thought the post apocalyptic uniform would be a good set for them but there’s a slight hiccup, or a BIG hiccup, I guess lol. Pretty much all my dolls are equipped with large or extra large chests. What can I say, I like my smarties to be like me! I don’t really want them to have flatter chests since I already have soooo many flat chested dolls in my collection. I just wanna know if this set will work for them too? Thanks so much, Reddit!

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 15 days ago

ALSO after 5 years, welcome home, Mirai!! Miku and Mirai within a week returning! Just gotta get Kanata back and the squad will be all back together again! And I can’t forget Chitose fresh out of the box 🫢 she’s such a cutie! Still in the same robe but I plan to get her some new bling soon :) also thinking of curling the ends of her hair! Lmk if yall have tips :) tomorrow when the lighting is back I’ll be sure to take some pretty photos of all the girls together! And then there were 4..

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 15 days ago

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE‼️ Hi guys! Sorry I’m so excited like AAAAAAA I got her a few hours ago but I’m still FREAKKING OUTTT‼️ My first post EVER on Reddit was asking where I could buy her and now I finally got her! Now I just need to try and find anyone selling her og wig lol (I just LOVE the look of it) and maybe a smooth large bust for her too (gotta give my smarties big girlies just like me :)

u/PreferenceSoggy5208 — 15 days ago

I’ve been searching high and low to find a wig that has the same look as this for my smarties but I can’t seem to find one anywhere!! I know Danny said he’s restocking Chitose, but he said it won’t include this wig because he doesn’t have it anymore. Pls lmk if you’re selling a wig like this or know where I can find a somewhere near exact copy? I’ve searched eBay, Mercari & Etsy but everything I look at just doesn’t have the same look or style. Is there someone I could commission to make this for me? Please help!
