My Thoughts on the Aphrodite dolls by JHD Toys

[@justchristophertv]

Please try to ignore the noise in the background. I sadly am in a room facing the street and do not have the equipment to cancel that out at the moment. My Apologies ❗️

Great Review I bought several JHD Mizi dolls. They are sweet and have great potential. Love the screenings. I was just looking at this doll, but I am hesitant because of the past bad experience. The problem that I have with these dolls is the quality. The faces are amazing, but the plastic bodies are a lower grade. I hate how they have feel in the hand - weightless and cheap. I have more Adonis dolls and I also have to be careful with them. Skin tone mis match can be an issue. Oh Yes, the issue of the price. They really need to get it together. Thanks Chris.

[@justchristophertv]

Weightless and cheap in hand have been my biggest issue with this brand. And Thank You 😊

[@ramonablue5598]

Agree the quality of fabrics could be much improved. 😊

[@justchristophertv]

Right!!!!

[@amymonemontoya]

"She comes with a STAND". I ugly laughed so hard at that, it was a witch's cackle. I'm interested in seeing what other screenings JHD does with these facemolds in the future. As for the besties, I think they got early releases in Australia? Someone correct me, I don't actually know.

[@justchristophertv]

Yes, someone let us know if there is an early release?

[@nieuwolt]

I really enjoyed your comments. Very well put. I have 4 JHD toys and they are definitely much below IT. They have had long enough to show improvement but they still insist on IT prices. Ridiculously expensive on eBay too.

[@justchristophertv]

Thank you, and yes, looking for them on eBay is ridiculous.

[@ramonablue5598]

I really like the Katie girls. Their bodies are FIRE.

Good opinion and interesting and funny😀

[@AndraGorgon]

My first thought when I saw Sirène was Mermaid Enchantress Barbie and when I saw Aphrodite being revealed relatively soon after Sirène I was like 👀👀👀. Not saying they copied each other/inspiration in art is wrong but the similarities are there. Also, yes, the seashells!! When they said “gift set” it made me think both colour ways came together as a set. A little weird that the stand + doll counts as a gift set but okay. If I do wind up getting the brunette doll, I have no idea where to place her because of the huge seashell 😂

[@justchristophertv]

She will take a lot of real estate, so get ready lol

[@angelapardue6588]

The dolls are $205 through doll dealers. If you are a member you can pre-order at $195

[@justchristophertv]

See.... I know someone paying less than $195, and they are a member.

[@angelapardue6588]

@@justchristophertv That is strange? I love integrity dolls(have their membership) but I did join the membership for mizi dolls through a dealer this year just because I wanted to see what its all about. Usually there is just a few of their dolls I really like so was not sure if it was worth it for me but thought I would see what it saves. So I dont know why there would be different prices for members? I got my membership through a doll dealer.

[@brinac1.6.scaledolls]

In my opinion some of the JHD dolls are cute but you can tell by looking at them that the IT dolls are much better quality. The brunette is pretty but I will stick with IT dolls for those prices. Please do a review on todays presentation. I would like to hear your take on it.

[@Ohhlivia204]

The concept of these dolls is nice but like you said, a step above Mattel and a step below Integrity. I won't pay that much for a doll like that.

[@justchristophertv]

Right!

The aphrodisiac took me out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@justchristophertv]

I mean... it's where my brain went.

[@ThatJew305]

exactly I got one od the new dolls, and the dress was messed up

[@justchristophertv]

Which one?

[@Kyle2.6]

Personally, I would not have been mad to have the doll without the stand. You already know it was all about her for me. Can't disagree on the "giftset" wording either because more was necessary for that word to be used.

[@justchristophertv]

👏👏👏

[@stevenschwarz310]

It most copies the Mattel Barbie Aphrodite doll from years ago APHRODITE Beautiful Greek Goddess Rare Gold Label Barbie Collector ...

[@justchristophertv]

Goes to goggle to look the doll up.

[@omanriqu]

Faces and clothes are good, but I'm worried about quality of the bodies.

[@justchristophertv]

And quality of clothes. Because they might look good but end up feeling bad.

[@lorrainecurran9157]

Hummmm , they lovely dolls, I don't have any, I don't even know if there's a way of getting them here in Ireland. Is it like W Club have they a club you join 🤔 I don't bother with mattel now at all just I.T. I'm not really adding much with my comment tonight .I'm a bit stuck on the fence with this brand

[@heatherradic3379]

They do have a VIP club type enrollment through dealers each year but they are often available for the public to purchase as well through the dealer sites.

[@justchristophertv]

It is perfectly fine to be stuck on the fence. Move when you are ready.

[@heatherradic3379]

@@justchristophertvexactly, these dolls are pricey, and I’ve purchased a bunch that I have later regretted for fear of missing out, but I’ve also regretted not buying a few. Take your time and really choose things you love. :)

[@felipecarrillo3459]

nah, i dont like those dolls, JHD its almost there but they have a lot of issues between the head skin color and the body color, they look a little more Disney than Fashion to me.

[@justchristophertv]

Now, now... Disney Dolls are in a league of their own. Especially when it comes to quality. But I agreed that JHD still has a lot of issues.

[@callherbadgal9731]

They are gorgeous dolls, and I mean DOLLS. The clothing, the stand, the jewellery are basic and/or unnecessary and/or not enough. To justify the price point ($200+) I need more than just a pretty doll. The bodies are stunning but they feel cheap in hand. I have 2 and I am not sure I will be buying more.

[@justchristophertv]

Understood!!
