How do I cope with the fact that there are so many cute dolls and I want to collect them all but that would be financially and logistically unwise?
>>51092001sell your organs
>>51090658pretty sure I was into this hobby before they showed up, but that is completely irrelevant, it made anything 1/3 completely unsearchable, and if you might wanna look at this hobby, it's mainly 1/3 dolls, so everything is fuckedhope you enjoy looking for stuff for your dd because it's not existing
>>51093254>pretty sure I was into this hobby before they showed upNo you weren't. They've been around since the 70s. Larpfag scrote.
>>51093254Where are you searching, anon? A lot of places (not Etsy anymore, and fuck them for it) still support search operators, so instead of searching "doll clothes" you can search "1/3 60cm BJD clothes -blythe" and get better results, for example.
Luckily, My order arrived just before the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) mandatory eFiling rule on July 8, 2026. I was worried because too many sellers use DHL.I'm not sure if this will affect bjd imports in the future because if anything is mislabeled as toys for under 12 years of age or some other affected stuff, then the bjd and /toy hobbies will be affected.>>51092001Cherish your own health and friends and family around you more than plastic toys.On a side note, I do think 1/6 and Blythe scale have been around longer than 1/3 stuff. Even Volks made 1/6 regular dollfies before they made 1/3 super dollfies and dollfie dreams.
>>51093254it's just you anon. learn to search better or just buy from JP sites
>>51084437I love pics with the rails like this. I should search for some unused tracks near where I live.>>51084855Cute!! They go well together.>>51091637I remember the colored version for this one. Those are from different cameras right? Do you shoot with both during each session?
I can't photograph for shiish
First time poster here.I've wanted a BJD for like... 20 years at this point, but in the past I either didn't the money or lived with people who just wouldn't let me enjoy stuff in peace.Now I'm solvent and free enough to finally get one. However, I'm a bit torn. I want certain types of bodies and certain types of faces, but not everything I want is easily available and I'm worried about compatibility.So... What do you think about 3D printed dolls? I've seen a few models that look a lot like what I want, and I could also make my own stuff too.Anyone has experience with 3D printing dolls? What type of resins, or really any kind of advice would work for me.Thanks!
>>510941933D printing really isnt as easy of an option as it seems you need a really high end printer and good luck getting the joints and colour right, not sure if you can easily get the 3d models either. Especially without having a reference doll to compare everything too. Better to start modding a doll than start from nothing. Even if you end up being able to replace every part you can more easily check if clothing still fits for example.What exactly are you looking for? Anime Style or more realistic Resin. MDD is popular enough that there is a huge variety in official and unofficial doll parts and there are a ton of faceup artists for prettier faces than the volks defaults.For "realistic" I like asleep eidolon faces a lot.
>>51094193I've modeled and printed a head and various accessories. I'd advise against trying to make an entire doll from scratch, especially if you never owned a BJD before. Get a body you like and make your own head, then once you've got that done try replacing parts of the body.You'll want to use impact and scratch resistant resin, otherwise the joints will grind themselves into dust which is not only bad for your lungs but also ruins your dolls ability to hold poses. You'll also want to use resin that's in your dolls skincolor. Forget about printing in gray color and airbrushing, the paint will rub off from the joints.Resione released a line of dedicated BJD resin that has all the properties you need and comes in a variety of different skin colors.
>>51094423You don't need a high end printer for a BJD, something like an elegoo Saturn 3 12k is perfectly fine and costs what, 250 euro?
>>51094146>>51094148I mean, about the same as my early photos?just keep taking photos and you'll make incremental improvementsalso cute fit
>>51094854recent(er) for comparisonalso using a real camera instead of my old potatophone helped a bit>>51094193>>51094423>>51094514>>51094538you'll get best results if you use a 3D printer for master parts you fit & surface finish, then recast with proper doll resin using silicone moldsbut yeah also might be a bit for a first BJDreminds me I just saw this the other day, semi-related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3EHu12ff_M I don't condone the existence of any specific vtuber or vtubers in general but have to respect the craft
My doll is late, I've made a cake ffs.
>>51094148We all start somewhere, she's cute, keep taking pictures!
>>51094146>>51094148Cute!Don't worry about it and just keep trying with new ideas.>>51094118>I love pics with the rails like this.I had really wanted to stay longer but there was a 'no trespassing' sign and it was really hot that day so I gave up. Those were still in-use, live, railroad tracks...
>>51094118>Those are from different cameras right? Do you shoot with both during each session?Yes, the color one was with my digital camera. These were taken with the 4x5 film camera (then the negatives were scanned with the digital camera and inverted). I think the most cameras I've brought to a shoot was 4. 5 if you count the phone. Sometimes I use multiple, sometimes I'm shooting multiple because I'm trying something new and want at least one usable shot, and sometimes I'm sure I get what I want with just one.
>>51093514>(CPSC)My order ships in December and I'm so annoyed and worried about this
erika in her study
>>51096262am retarded, what's the CPSC and how does it affect (effect?) our dolls.
>>51096508Only affects USA importers, you have to submit documentation of "laboratory testing" that your import product does not contain harmful chemicals and lead, etc. This applies to certain stuff, but not everything. Toys for age under age 12 is affected.
>>51096508>>51096650And the main issue being that there is no HTS code for collectibles for adults (think premium bandai, big dolls, model kits, etc.)It looks like you can file a disclaim form with special add-on codes and provide those but no one knows exactly how/when/where to send the forms yet.
Does anyone know if these cheap dolls being sold in Australia are elastic strung or plastic? The listings don't give much info about them, the listings just say "BJD Ball Joint Doll 30cm - Lowell"
>>51094146>>51094148You have no idea how much I love these photos. I love the home made amateur vibe whatever when it comes to doll pics. Also the clothes are normal but super nice, where did you buy them.
>>51099254The yellow dress came with it as a pack-in, the rest is just random stuff I found on mercari. Here's all the URLs of stuff I bought as of late:https://jp.mercari.com/shops/product/2JN9iJoT9xkfbNjDuqmYNzhttps://jp.mercari.com/shops/product/D7ab9n7f62rUVtDAHj3wTahttps://jp.mercari.com/shops/product/FApuj7eLammqwahEkiK6Qihttps://jp.mercari.com/item/m90382639856https://jp.mercari.com/shops/product/oFwDb7BB2fksPWP3eyUjU7https://jp.mercari.com/item/m46309450780https://jp.mercari.com/shops/product/7QwqghAvbxzNJoTRr97RSC

how did OP get that photo without harming the dollalso if you were out taking photos of your doll and a group of people came up to you and began to act aggressively and tried to get at your doll
>>51103649i would at least attempt to defend myself and my doll because this doll really costed more than the ps5
>>51103649
>>51095781Samus my love!
>>51096358why does she have a crock pot in her study
>>51104449Everyone knows that the perfect companion to reading magical tomes is a warm pot roast
>>51104449It looks more like a basic rice cooker.
>>51096358Simply adorable witch that enjoys rice?>>51101120>>51101123Cute belly!>>51103540>>51103544>>51103546>>51103549>>51103554>>51103557Beautiful dresses! Awesome work anon!
>>51103540>>51103544This one is sooooo cute! I'll have to see what I've got for sundresses and contribute since it's relevant to my interests.>>51100779Yes, come to the dark side.
>>51104723Thank you, that's a lovely shot yourself! >>51105460Thanks, I can't wait to see what you have!
I wish there were real Kemono Friends BJDs like this.
>>51105940Another...
>>51105798>what you haveNo cookies, that's for sure. Although it occurs to me that pregnant bellies for dolls have a huge advantage over the real thing. IRL preggo bellies only last a couple of months, a doll can be pregnant as long as you like! Not something I get tired of in a hurry, personally. Anyone know if something similar is made for AZ02 bodies? For research purposes, of course.
Finally finished Anri. I need to make a box to transport her arms. I'll be at otakon with her and momoko
To the anon asking in the last thread, heres the abomination doll again. Its been awhile she probably wont get much lighter than this. I really should dye some of her again to see if i can make her dark again
>>51107825Note, its been about a year
>>51106857I meant about the sundresses...
