Ruby Red Galleria/Ruby Red BJD (or RRG for short) opened two years ago, but much of their experienced staff are from their long-established and renown parent doll manufacturing company (who prefer to stay anonymous at this time).” In terms of a consistent high quality doll experience, RRG is probably the oldest and the most experienced ‘2 year’company ever.” according to company representative Anna. The RRG staff is “a group of talented and enthusiastic doll designers” who strive to create items of high quality with an attention to detail. The company sells both doll fashion lines and doll lines. RRG produces a wide variety of doll fashions from casual to “haute couture” for dolls of many sizes. Their current doll lines include “In Motion” ™ Girls; 12” Senson ™ dolls; 8” Strawberina ™ dolls; and 4.5” Honee-B ™. Honee-B is their only resin doll at this time, and the company has been regularly releasing new full-set versions of her since she was unveiled at IDEX 2011.

Q: Can you tell give me some information on your new tiny doll Honee-B?
A:She is 4.5″ tall Ball Joint Doll and made out of high quality resin material. It comes with changeable face, hands and feet by magnet. Also, her wig and acrylic eyes could be changed too. Although, she is tiny, she is able to do many different poses and stand stably.
Honee-B also has her own story. She is 5 years old. She is the only child of a family, who often feels lonely, even though she was never left alone. Despite that, Honee-B becomes independent, sentimental and sometimes moody. She has no brother and sister to play with, so she makes friends with bugs and flowers in the backyard and plays with them.
Every doll set is a limited edition. In the set, you could find the doll, outfits, wig, shoes and accessories. There is also a limited postcard in the box, which tells the story and the design concept of Honee-B.
Q: Can you tell me anything about the designers behind the Honee-B doll?
A: RRG designs are created, not by any one single individual, but by a team of enthusiastic young female artists who share a common addiction to Asian style dolls. Influenced by Japanese TV comic characters and by Asian manga culture, they are all graduates from the local Hong Kong design colleges. Their works comprise, but are not limited to, new product sketches preparation, product designs and development, sourcing raw materials, new sample preparations, designing new packaging artwork, taking photographs; etc…
Q:Can you tell me more about Honee-B’s faceplates?
A: Honee-B is designed with 2 different faces. One is moody and and another face is a surprised look. The 2 different faces are easily changeable and held in with magnets. Each doll comes with one face.
Q: Will other faces for Honee-B be made available for sale?
A: We plan to launch a new face with a naughty expression in January at 2012
