Company makes weird decisions sometimes, to re-release saber alter 3rd time now, when there is already a surplus on the market. Y!J is flooded with the previous releases on sale now.
>>50826426Is it an anniversary of some kind for Fate? Maybe there's correlation there... they're rereleasing the Ribbon Girl set later this year and that's all I care about right now.
>>50826426It's based on their customer votes from a year or so back. She's a very popular doll, so I'm not surprised. I am more bummed that they haven't put out a clothing set in a few collections now that's been a hit for me.
>>50826426Just want the new SDGr outfits. The sculpts look really bland imo>SDM Lieselotte when
First calendar arrived after being lost in the mail for nearly 3 month. Tracking never updated after reaching Germany and it looks like it somehow never even went through customs. No idea how it got here. Anyway, since I have two of them now: If anyone here (preferably from within the EU) missed their chance and would like one, let me know, and I’ll set up a temporary email account so you can send me your address.
Has anyone run across a Kasane Teto wig? She has 2 drill shaped curls on each side. I'm trying to decide if I need to modify an existing wig or if there's something off the shelf. Would be for a 1/3 scale bjd.
>>50830893>drills in 3d>he doesnt knowsister..
>>50830893i've seen a couple of teto bjds around so it's possible but it might be a bit harder if you want the synth v version with her weird hair accessory thingif you want something exact you probably have to look on taobao or commission someone but i do see a couple of ringlet wigs on acbjd that might be similar enough at least until you get something else. getting that exact vibrant shade of red out the box might be the most difficult partalso since when did acbjd become so slow? is it just on my end? it's basically unusable
>>50829253Glad to hear it finally showed up. But also glad that I had a spare to send sooner. Must have fallen through the cracks somewhere in the processing and transfer.>>50830893I swear I've seen this done by someone on youtube or twitter but I can't find it for the life of me. It was even Teto herself.But also there are a few examples on how to do it.https://www.deviantart.com/aeriscetramagic/art/Teto-Dollfie-wig-creation-848252852
>tight month>really cute perfect doll comes up on yja>barely lose the auction, try again next time haha>artist says they will stop making dolls ahahahahhaha
>>50833042>linkThat's what I was looking for, thanks!Looks like they started with a long wig and salvaged the cut hair to make the drills.
that nigga that wanted anime rozen maidens must be squirting right now holy fuck
>>50837234funny, i also thought of that anon when i saw it but thought that it was too chibi to count
Can anyone ID the skin color of this head? Can't tell if flesh or semi white.
>>50837478It's really hard to tell from a picture like that. I have dolls in both skin tones, and even when they're next to each other it's hard to tell sometimes depending on lighting. If I had to guess, I'd say Semi-white. But like I said, it's really hard to tell.
>>50837234Oh, this is cuteAre they doing the dolls other than Stinky?
>>50837234nta but I have a mighty need. I'm not familiar with this line, what shops regularly carry them?
>>50837958If those are Azone Picco Neemo, check (maybe email) Amiami.
>>50837234>almost $200>14cmOof
>>50837234>my dolls can have Rozen Maidensfuuuuuuck my wallet is scared.
>>50839666>666They told me the devil would be adorable.
At the risk of hate, this being /jp/.Anyone have experience with iplehouse bjd?To be hoesnt I have been kind of disappointed with the bad pose ability of my volks. And I am looking for another 1/3, I am happy with azone for the smaller ones
>>50845645I haven't personally, but I've heard good things about their poseability over the years? Someone with more knowledge in resin can hopefully chime in on that front; what I know of mostly pertains to the fuckhuge male dolls, so things may be different for the smaller ones as well.
>>50845645You're right. The posing ability is quite poor.I'm not sure about iplehouse being a lot better than volks.My brand new volks resin bjd dolls poses okay at best, and become progressively worse over the years without re-stringing.Most resins strung or vinyl dolls have posing issues that needs some mods to improve (leather suede joints, hanger wires).Some people use multi-pronged arm stands for dynamic poses to take pictures.
>>50845748Any idea where I can buy those stands? I could use the hell out of those.
>>50845783https://kanaenomai.booth.pm/https://nukobolta.booth.pm/You can try these, but I personally think they would still tip over from wind outside.
>>50845852Just attach some tripod weights, looks like the one in the photo already has screw points for them
>>50845748Resins are closer to traditional dolls while volk, toys.
>>50847026What are resin volks dolls then, retard.
>>50847026Sorry to hear about DoA, now get the fuck out.
>>50849246Ok, guess me and Suigintou will fuck off then
>>50849263aw, don't be like that.You know we love you.
I know this is 4chan and most people are permanently single anyway but on the off chance:Whats the general reaction of woman to owning a bunch of dolls as a guy?I do own a few dolls and a ton of figurines but I havent really had the opportunity to check.
>>50849635not sure what answer you're looking for with the way you're leading your question. depends on the type of doll and the type of woman. women generally compliment me when I go out for photos with my MDDs. the ones that stop to chat for a bit about it are either older grannies or women that are also into anime type stuff. they generally naturally recognize that it's different from like going around with a barbie or somethingvery rarely do I ever explicitly hear anything negative. maybe only in passing every once in a while, but people just leave me alone otherwise
>>50849635I don't take mine out but my mom says that they're cute.
>>50849725This legitimately made me smile.
>>50849635My wife thought they were a sex thing. After I explained they weren't and they're more of a creative outlet she's still not thrilled about them, but she's less weird about them. But I didn't get dolls until after we were married.
>>50849635depends what kind of dolls and the tastefulness of the clothes and stuff honestlya slutwear mdd with huge silicon tits? uhhhhjust keep it classy
>>50849635My father had no problem with them, and most people I meet are, at most, positively curious about what you're doing if you have them out with you. Little old ladies WILL go out of their way to talk to you about their porcelain or reborn collection. People might judge you if they find out how much the hobby costs, but that goes for most hobbies in my experience. Most of all... find someone who support you for you. This isn't a harmful thing, it's a creative outlet, it's harmless fun. If anyone has a problem with it, you likely wouldn't be compatible on a deeper level, either.
So I got one of the Oioi studio blind dolls, doll noob here, and the hair is like super hard to style to where it looks like the picturesAny tips?
all dolls are toys dumpass doesnt matter how expensive it is
Speak for yourself. My dolls aren't toys, they are family :)
>>50849705Thats reassuring. I dont mind a few haters but I am quite proud of how cute my dolls are so obviously I want other people to also like them.>>50849725Based Mom. My mother and sister think mine are cute too.>>50849876Ouch. Thats my main fear with strangers.>>50849959God bless little old ladies.
My normal shop for custom hands is currently set to private, and has been for more than a year. They're still selling at conventions, which bums me out, but oh well. Does anybody have any shops they recommend that make custom DD hands? I don't mind using a proxy.
>love at first sight with an unobtainable volks model girlholy fuck she is adorable
Does anyone have the link for the store selling matching ring sets for yourself and your doll? It's time I let the insanity take me and make it official.
>>50853529There are Dream Choice proxies if that's where she's locked to. She's precious, I hope you can find her one day! You never know!
>>50849635Depends but most people wouldn't really care. They might think it's weird or 'huh' for a moment before they focus on something else. The only person that was bothered by my dolls was a guy who get weirded out by anything that's he sees as even slightly weird (almost everything) but most find my dolls cute or pretty when they examine them closer. The only dolls that seem to bother people are life sized or anything that's closer to human sized. I don't think most BJD owners collect those dolls anyways (not sex dolls btw)
>>50853565https://geheimnis.shopselect.net/categories/4104228Congrats anon.
>semi white MDD still out of stock>it's been weeks alreadyplease... just make more.....
>>50856563Vinyl supply is totally fucking fucked mate. Big time.
>>50856781I know resin was fucked for a while. What's up with vinyl? (I don't know anything about industrial supply chains.)
>>50856781>>50856846probably because the straight of whoremoos is blockaded and that plastic(vinyl+resin) products are made from refined petroleum products.
>>50856894Ah. Makes sense. Time to start reconstituting house siding to make dolls, I guess.
>>50856846Plastic = petroSecond picco Rozen finalized design posted. They were leaked late 2025 but there were some mild changes to the eyes and more, so here they are
Does anybody know if the DOLK collab dolls that have Japanese faceup artists design the makeup, does that faceup artist do the actual makeup on the sold dolls too? Because for the Marin doll that just came out, there are some pretty noticeable differences in owner pictures. None of them look bad, but some of them are off compared to the original. Top left looks really good, while top right is missing a lot of details, bottom photo is the stock doll. I know that the artist Renya passed away after fighting illness for years, so I don't know if it's a matter of she was doing the makeup and some of it looks worse due to health complications and burnout, or if they had to find a new faceup artist after her passing, or if DOLK qc is just like that. If it's any of the former I understand completely especially because of the circumstances, but if they had other artists from the start then I'm a bit put off from buying any dolls in the future.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/168309364004There's an (Old) Cocoa Smart Doll on auction right now if anyone's been looking for one, first time I've seen one in about five years.
>>50856563USA store restock is happening on the 24th
>>50857030>Make upThey're stickers.
>>50859771I know some dolls use eye decals (Azone Pure/Picco Neemo, some ancient Volks Lost Angel Story dolls,) but face makeup on vinyl dolls is typically done with airbrushing and layer masks, not decals.
>>50860104Are you overweight by any chances? I didn't ask.Stickers are just as good for these toys. No need to pretentiously airbrush them.
>>50860034>>50860038Ichigo is cute as always. I like the backlighting on the second photo, it's really nice.>>50860249Here's your (You), faggot>>50860104Evantasy did something a bit different, using resin for the body and head with her tits out of silicone. There's no vinyl involved, but yeah obviously not stickers anyone with an eye can see that. Anon's just trying to stir some shit.
>>50860249I was just educating you on how these dolls are created, dollschizo-chama.
>>50860364Oh Evantasy makes them? I've heard they have full silicone bodies as well -- they look great for photography, but I have a fluffy animal in my home so don't think those are for me. If someone here gets one I'd love to hear details.
Dollcon is upon us. There's not a lot of free meetup slots. There is a vinyl meetup we'll be attending. Walking around, if you see Mizuumi or a yukata style outfit come say hi and link up.
>>50860370Have fun anon, post photos! I hope I can attend one day, too. Preferably immediately after coming into a large sum of money.
>>50860370The vinyl meetup is at noon
>>50845748>Most resins strung or vinyl dolls have posing issues that needs some mods to improveThe engineering improved a lot in 20 years.
Big fan of these new boots that showed up today.>>50860370Take photos anon
>>50863827Hey where did you get these shoes, I have a similar pair I got off of Mandarake a few years ago and I've been trying to track them down for ages. She looks great!
>>50863869Got them from ebay dollmore. Looks like they have an actual page too.https://www.ebay.com/itm/161914776024https://www.ebay.com/str/dollmoreshophttps://www.dollmore.net/
>>50863889Cheers anon!
>>50839666Lovely girls ready to go out on an adventure!>>50860034>>50860038I love that retro dress set. Thought about getting it too but never got around to it.>>50860370Ditto! Love to see the event pics!>>50863827Very cute cowboy bootsMash and Lacy Anne is getting Benzyl Peroxide treatments. I got some freedom teller's tights and the clothes dye gets on to my hand and spreads everywhere just from posing the dolls. ridiculous.
>>50865384
>>50865403My god what were those made of? Powdered graphite?
>>50865421Probably! lolThe dye would stick to my hands and move to other parts of the doll that weren't even touching any dark clothes.
>>50865403Jesus christ I'd send those photos to whomever made the clothes and demand some kind of restitution + warn them to stop using whatever the fuck that fabric (or dye bath) is. I've seen worse stains in small areas, but that amount of coverage is heinous.
>>50865403>>50865384Yikes that's the worst staining I think I've ever seen. Hoping they get well soon! Even though I know from experience that normal stains are a lengthy process. The amount of staining on the crotch where the thighs were pinched up against the hip part is going to be hell to remove. And it looks like her ass too... Positively grim
>>50865403>he got the coal miner set
Sorry we couldnt get the other anon in the photos, it was nice to see you again. The vinyl meetup was pretty fun, and the increased venue size was nice. Nycdollcon is a lot of fun
should i get marin bjd? >>50865403does the acne treatment actually remove the blotches? seems rather specific...
>>50866646Awesome! >>50867121>should i get marin bjd? Get the one your heart tells you to. I personally wasn't too impressed by the user's twitter pics.>>50867121>>50865529>>50865523Thanks, I'll know if the acne treatment works in a few more weeks. Most times, these stains can still be salvaged and takes time. The vendor had a good track record and I bought from them before. But seems like they've changed since then and definitely won't buy from them again.
I'm envious of my own doll. She looks so comfy.
>>50867121>should i get marin bjd?Dolk character dolls are overpriced but Evantasy makes good bodies.
Will a SD wig fit a dolfie dream 1/3 size?
>>50868885Very cute photo
>>50870131what sculpt, the answer is usually "yes, but" there are a few sculpts that have very tiny heads that would do better with 8/9 rather than 9/10
>>50868885Cute pic!
>>50870131Usually yes, and if not a little velcro tape will go a long way if it's too large.>>50872690>Frieren in the chair.Damn that's nice furniture.
Lazy April photo, enjoy!
>>50872899Where on earth did you find such small corn snacks.
>>50873019My co-worker gave them to me on Valentine's Day. They apparently make them in that size for school Valentine hand outs and the like. I've been saving them trying to think of a reason to use them in a photo.
>>50873043Thank you so much, I know what I'm buying next Valentine's Day!
rate my darling
>>50873135Super Cute out of 10
Lots of doll pictures in the thread recently, this is great.The cherry trees I found weren't very cooperative but I still managed take a photo with one.
>>50873429
>>50849635I think it depends on one's openness to experiences - not everyone will get it, but those that are curious and kind are very exceptional. in my own niche, I have had more experience with my partner having dolls, and now I have some of my own. It's been pretty cool, desu.
>>50872710>Damn that's nice furniture.Yea, it is a very iconic chair from Volks released in the early 2010s.>>50872899>>50873043Cute! Love the perfectly sized snacks!>>50873135Cute kitten out of 10!>>50873429>>50873432Cute! Have her do a cute pose next time.The cherry blossoms are finished blooming here mostly.
>>50849635>Whats the general reaction of woman to owning a bunch of dolls as a guy?When I get caught playing with dolls by a woman, I immediately tell her there are boy dolls too as I show her a picture of gay boys in hanfu. While she's enraptured in fujoshi fantasies I make my escape and then I never show up again.
Can someone show me a stacked doll in a modest top? Humanly large, no humongous 3rd party oppai. I need to see how it looks.
>>50875424M bust vs DDdy
>>50875564Considering how big they are on the DDy, they don't look so stacked unless you want them to.
>>50875424This is a DDS with a normal L bust.
>>50875606>WATCH OUT HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOUThanks for the science anons
>>50875424Define modest.
>>50875424Certain fabrics can really accentuate curves.
Well, if you wanted an excuse to not get the Azone mini Shinku, here it is...she will be a WHOPPING 33,000JPY cost.
>>50875731>Define modest.Just what you posted, no cleavage or bikini. I wanted to see if I can downplay the booba with clothes.>>50875738Intredasting. Posing and angle matter a lot too.That's a huge pair of glasses
>>50876099RM merch is so cursed with suck
>>50875424
>>50878529What body is this? It's not a standard size, right?
>>50878538it's a standard angelphilia, just with one of their less-common heads
>>50878611That's a particularly large bust but it makes sense for AP. I don't think what I'm dealing with will be that large so I'll be able to hide her power level.
>>50878663>ARE YE WINNING ONIICHAN
>>50866646always love seeing meetup photos, many dolls usually posted separately all togetherone day I'll make it to one again lol>>50873432you always have such great locations>>50876099>>50876977oof my walletthink about it, the price is probably mostly the ornate tiny-scale clothes>>50878634ironically AP busts are generally modestly-sizedthe balloon tits are all option parts sold on a separate (still first-party) site
I got a couple extra hands for the old SD girl I recently got from mandarake. I did not realize how much her body had yellowed until seeing the old and new ones side-by-side. I don't mind the yellowing itself but the contrast is a bit much. Can I just leave the new hands out in the sun to speed up their yellowing or is there some faster way? I tried looking this up but all I could find was about de-yellowing, not en-yellowing.
Have there been any silicone body parts for Chimikko dolls yet?
>>50880478The sun is the worst thing you could do to a doll, it can cause pitting of the resin. You are better off cleaning her (seriously, a good bath will remove a lot more stuff than you think) and then going from there
>>50880478yes people have done that before, i have seen people talk about it in the bjd discord, usually people only do it for hands. you can't guarantee good results, it could be a different shade of yellow, be uneven, take a long time, over yellow too quickly, etc. you would have to rotate the hands tooyou may also be able to blush the hands yellow to match her body instead, personally i would go that route
>>50866646It was great meeting everyone and their cute dolls anon! Thanks for saying hi~
