Pullip, Blythe, Tangkou... Anything else?

So... Looking around at bobble headed dolls with mechanisms. I've got an Angelgate head from when I was pullip curious but it's got no eye-mechs so I'm looking around a bit more again

There's Pullip, Dal, Taeyang etc. Which are adorable, but they're delicate and their wigs are poo/really difficult to mod (and a bit expensive to mod)

Blythe (which I admit I really don't get at all- they're just as expensive as Pullip but shiny and non-poseable with dead looking eyes... Am I missing something here? The mini-blythes are really cute but the full sized ones? *Shudder*)

Tangkou - which is a bit like Pullip/Blythe's love-child... They look cheeky

Blybe, and those weird "money bank" clone dolls

Pretty tempted by Tangkou - like a cheeky less dead-eyed Blythe at a fairly reasonable price, and with an articulated body but are there any others out there?

There's also Hestia which Pullip released. Their heads are a little bigger then normal.

:D Thanks! Do these guys have eye mechs too? I'd thought they were a bit small for them but it'd be awesome if they do

:? Update - Just bought a Tangkou for what amounts to $30USD or £20GBP. I'll try and remember to do a mini-review when she arrives, bought the model "Aussie", not sure what about her it is but the doll, outfit and cheap wig just seems really appealing. (Having said that she may end up turning into a Priscilla-esque drag queen but we'll see how nice her stock body is)

No eye mechs for Hestia. Congrats on your Tangkou! Would live to see your review on them. I like how their eyes look.

Thanks! I figured at that price I'd not be too afraid to mod her if I wanted to. I think she's got a really charming cheeky face

That's the main thing preventing me from buying anything pullip related tbh, I'd almost certainly want to mod them; but they're usually so lovely already and I know their stock bodies are very delicate so instant Obitsu-ing would have to happen. Hestia's are adorable but I've heard if you want to rebody them you need to crack their heads open?? (Eeek!)
