>>51134435>>51134440>>51134701>>51134705Cute! What scale are these? I'm thinking of trying to get a smaller scale girl to be a fairy next to my big girls, and I'm trying to get a sense of them.
>>51135592They're both 1/6 scale. You'd probably want to go down to 1/12 scale for a fairy, assuming your big girls are around 1/3 scale.
>>51135608They are, and you're probably right. I was hoping those were 1/12, as most of the other ones I see are kinda chibi, and I don't want that.
>>51135654azone makes some decent 1/12.. but doll hair is pretty basic at that size and clothing is way more limited
>>51135660Yeah, the ones I do see that aren't super chibi, like the Assault Lily series, all have hard plastic hair. It may just be a pipe dream, or I just have a larger fairy gremlin? lol
>>51134765Did you record a video of the unboxing?what blind box is this?
>>51135729Anon, you're lucky I love this hobby so much I'll spoonfeed anyone. They make a rooted hair line called Picco Neemo as well. It's got pretty much the same proportions as the 1/6 Pure Neemo.
my wife Ryou is so cute.
>>51136253la creatura
Cute gym clothes back up on AmiAmi for anyone that missed them earlier.
>>51135926Neo Eden Toys' Dream Devourer, unfortunately I did not record a video.>>51135004https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q1236355316In hindsight I should have picked a different seller but I was drunk and sleep-deprived, saw a unboxing video on youtube and my brain went into 'must have' mode.
>>51136253That Teto scares me
Nooo my Tinyfox Arachne has some stains from her black skirt on her body. Pretty sure its from the skirt and not the black underwear. Why are dark clothes such a gamble? Some dont stain at all. Others a lot. I was hopeful since the skirt is part of her default outfit. I saw another Tinifox Arachne posted here so maybe a bit of a warning for that anon.Cant post the damage right now, my mother was actually visiting when we noticed the damage and she insisted she can fix it after my initial failure to remove the stain. I warned to be very careful with the face. Anyone have any tips on removing stains?
>>51136459>I did not record a video.Doll a cute but I'm afraid that's it anon. Don't beat yourself up cause it happens.But you have to immediately buy her an even cuter outfit so she's not naked. And lots of shoes. Lots and lots of shoes so she won't be mad at you for being such a baka. Once you have restored her dolly powers she will protect you from evil Japanese auctioneers in the future. Then buy additional dolls. The more dolls you buy and dress up in expensive outfits, the more powerful their shielding aura will become. Trust me anon
>Anyone have any tips on removing stains?I don't have experience with tinyfox dolls, but dollfie dream vinyls can be treated with Benzyl peroxide 10%. It takes time, heat and patience. I have restored much worse stained parts than the picture with excellent results.But first, you can try melamine sponge (aka magic eraser) scrubbing with water to see if that works. Its a light sanding to the surface. If that doesn't work then maybe try the Benzyl peroxide method.
>>51137221>I saw another Tinifox Arachne posted hereYeah, I put her outfit on to take a couple pictures when I got her. That is when I realized that clothes can stain almost instantly when I took it off some 15 minutes later and she already had marks on her hips. Honestly... I'm not too bothered since the staining is minor and covered up by any clothes shed be wearing. Out of sight, out of mind and all that.
>>51137221>>51137636>>51137655whatever you do DO NOT use benzyl peroxide on TinyFox dollsunless they've changed their engineering, the benzyl peroxide will cause the soft coating on the hard plastic body to blisteruse paper towels soaked in 90% isopropyl alcohol, held against the affected area with cling wrap, refresh every 1-2 daysit just takes a bit longer than benzyl peroxide treatments of soft vinyl so have patience
>>51137636>>51137655>>51137755Thanks for the suggestion and warnings.If I get the stain out I will consider some measures to protect my dolls more from stains. I kinda hate how the protective body gloves look but I will see what I can do with underwear. Does washing suspect pieces of clothing help them not to transfer excess dye to my dolls? My resin doll has been wearing black thigh high socks for ages with no issue. Not sure if its due to the different plastic or different fabric.
Le's play a quick game /bjd/.Which is the recast and which isn't?
>>51138609
>>51138611Keep in mind, one is a 1100+ Euros doll, the other 160.
im jelly
>check thread>bootleg shillsI hope the resin is radiactive and gives you cancer
>>51139751Bootlegs don't come with mold crease.I would be you; I'd shut my whore mouth.When you deliver so poorly and still charge up to X10, then you deserve everything coming for you.
>>51139751Don't respond to them, they're the same trolls who shut down the resin threads on /toy/Ignore them and they'll go away
>>51138609>>51138611>>51138615since you're asking, I'm going to guess the recast is the one without seamsalso interesting how AngelPhilia the lower torso here looks >>51138611
Otakon is this weekend anons. We'll be doing our meetup Saturday at noon around the doll house. In addition, the doll house is hosting a social Friday 11am to 1pm. Saturday is a Doll Swap 6-7pm and a social 7-8:30pm. Sunday is the doll customization contest awards 10am to 11am.The Dollhouse is in mt. vernon square room, marriott M3.I'll be there all weekend, so if you see a yukata style outfit carrying a bunch of doll stuff come say hi.
>>51128921This doll is massive!https://x.com/hamcat_mqq/status/2081279543613214989
>>51139892Have fun anons! I'll add this to the next OP.>>51139911If I win the lottery I won't tell anyone but there will be signs. The 3D eyelashes and blinking eyes are crazy work.
>>51139892I'll see you there, anon! I won't have much new to show off, but I'll be there. I'll be there Friday and Saturday (no dolls on Friday) as Kinzo if you/anyone else wants to say hi>>51137755>the benzyl peroxide will cause the soft coating on the hard plastic body to blisterWell, shit, thanks for the heads up. I don't have plans to treat her stains, but I probably would have used it without thinking.
>>51137755>the soft coating on the hard plastic body to blisterI wonder what that coating is for? Certainly doesn't prevent stains.Even dollfie dream vinyls blister slightly from the benzyl peroxide but it usually returns to normal in a few days.
the witch and her cauldron
>>51135344dolls scare me
>>51140098>>51137755>>51137221I'm pretty sure the newer tinyfox no longer have the coating, does she feel like smooth pvc or powdery?>>51140141It was to make them feel nice but they got rid of it due to stain complaints, it made it easier to stain.
>>51139889>>51138611 Is the recast, it's not perfect because the surface isn't even but there's no creases.How can you be so hellbent on defending brands like that lemming >>51139751 when they deliver such mediocre products for X10 the price and take X3 as long for delivery?There's creases on the Sartoriaj's feet and hands for cry sake, torso, legs fucking everywhere. I have to sand it myself and that stuff is toxic.This is an outrage.There will be consequences!
>>51140531
>>51140609Smooth, not powdery
>>51140531I used to have crippling, publicly-embarrass-myself-tier arachnophobia and now I free-handle spiders because I think they're cool. Perhaps by coming here, you will come to see what scares you as less frightening, just like years of finding spiders in my immediate area forced me to get over my fear or perish. Welcome to /bjd/, anon.
>>51140647Just wait til halloween anon
doll bump
>>51143905Tomorrow I will be going outside to try and take doll photos. I will do my best anons.
>forgot to pre order volks mdd carry case>sold outman...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/336714416573Anon who likes Luna, there's an Ozawa Dango (cyclops) custom head on a DDSf3 body listed on ebay right now. The body is SWS and the head is NS, so there will be a slight mismatch, but honestly you'd want to buy this just for the head anyway. Thought you'd want to know.
I don't know if anyone's ever needed to know this, but just in case: Dream Rescue works on tan dolls, too. No damage after being left on for a few years (yes, years) and it truly did make the heinous staining almost entirely vanish. I would've just got a new body, but unfortunately one does not just get a new body for DDdy Kanu. No before/after photos, unfortunately, but I'll take some fresh shots soonish to showcase how the only remaining stain is a spot on her leg that I missed. TL;DR if you buy doll clothes that are red or black, wash that shit in your sink before letting it touch a doll for even a second.
>>51145827Good to know!I find dream rescue to either be too strong and OVER-bleach if heat is applied or it does nothing very slowly if no heat is applied per the instructions.
A new girl joins the family.
>>51147040Ah, posting from the phone, how I hate it.
>>51147040>>51147044What a cutie! Congrats anon!Show her with the entire doll gang together too next time.
already august... I'd like to take more photos of my dolls before the year ends.
>>51148902I'd like you to take more photos of your doll too!
(sideways photo time)looking like a yukata will not be done in time for the conreally should have just taken the day off lol
Akari and I will be at Otakon all weekend. She'll be peeking her head out of my backpack. Come say hi if you find us.
>>51149686jiiiii.....
>>51149686Straight sewing is straight.I got a 1:4 kimono from ali, they kindly enough made it out of cotton, the downside is that it's stiff, to the point the sleeve pouches are as natural as two planks of wood.I wonder if it wouldn't be wiser to use nylon.
How socially acceptable is disclosing about the dolls to non-hobbyists? Do I have a bias and I think it's cool while it's actually on the same tier as crossdressing?
>>51152700don't do it, especially to normies. They will never see it as a hobby, but will think of it as a perversion. At best they will pretend to understand while talking behind your back.
>>51152700>>51152720I don't know, I've had the opposite experience. People just seem curious about them, at the end of the day- back when I used to leave my house little old ladies would come over to ask about my dolls, discuss their porcelain-and/or-reborn collections, and so on. People don't generally care about what strangers are up to as much as people seem to think they will. People in your personal life might respond differently, depending on the sort of individual they are- a judgy bitch is likely to be a judgy bitch either way, you know? If people are going to denigrate you for a harmless creative outlet, that's a character fault they need to work out in themselves and not a problem you need to concern yourself with. I'd still not tell certain people (coworkers specifically, because I've rarely met any who weren't in some way insane,) but generally speaking the people who matter shouldn't mind, and the people who mind don't matter.
>>51139892>>51140098>>51149739I’m still going, should be another 30-45 minutes
>>51152700I show off my dolls all the time, mainly to women and closer male friends. They either respond with basic curiosity, or enjoyment. I also ended up finding a doll fanatic that way
Thinking about getting my first doll, is 「Azone Tiea - A Moment of Relaxation」 a good choice? I think she is very pretty and not too expensive...
>>51153202Azones were my gateway drug and I think they're a great first step into the doll hobby without breaking the bank. If you love her, you have no reason not to try! 1/6 is a good scale as well, they can wear anything that fits Blythe (except headwear) and basically any fashion doll props work for them, too. Follow your dreams, anon!
>>51152700Does your doll have big tits and wears lingerie 24/7? Don't do it. Is your doll fully clothed and do you have a related hobby such as photography or sewing? You'll be fine.
>>51152700>How socially...Nietzsche: "There is no good or evil, just good or bad consequences".
>>51153202Perfect starter doll. 1/6 is a great size that you'll find lot of clothes and props readily available for. While they don't offer some of the finer details you can achieve with bigger dolls, they're very versatile and fun to pose around the house.
>>51152700Depends on the people you're talking about it with. My wife and friends were curious but generally dismissed them as being one of my nerd things. In general, to coworkers and the like, if hobbies do come up I tell them I make and do miniature photography. They don't need more specific than that.
Newest of my Wheel of the Year photos. This time it's for Lammas, or Lughasadh, the festival of first harvest.
>>51153288Holy fuck, that's some articulation
>>51153691Cute!Wonderful food props anon
>tfw in love with Migu but I don't like the Dollfie Dream>can't even find the body type I want
>>51155247There are other Mikus, or you could make your own. What are you looking for anon?
>>51155255>What are you looking for anon?Small shoulders wide hips and thick thighs. Like Angel Philia but bigger.
>>51155321Like, bigger thighs, or a larger doll?
>>51155352Bigger doll. AP is popular but nobody else makes that shape
>>51155373>>51155378I think you're ind of out of luck. No one makes bigger dolls in that shape, at least...not the type of dolls we talk about here. Ask in the other thread.
>>51155379They don't make them in resin either ...
>>51155411I wasn't talking about the resin thread.
>>51155421
>>51155425Dunno what to tell you man, the only other option is paying some to or making your own completely from scratch.
Maybe Evoke doll would have something...? Silicone, but they aren't sex dolls and are somewhat curvaceous compared to DD. But at that point you might have better luck ordering a sex doll for photography reasons depending on the scale and size of hips you're looking to acquire.
>>51155469No not that huge. just the size of DD. I was disappointed with APs size I thought they were bigger>size of hipspicrel
>>51155519Get a DDdy 2.0 body when they become available and combine it with a regular DD SS-size chest. You'll have to trim the vinyl under the bust area and find a head for the body but it's probably the closest to what you're looking for.
>>51155563Not a bad idea...
okay photos incomingusing a bounce flash in the doll room really didn't work out, most of those photos are pretty scuffed
>>51155600fun to meet all these cuties irl finally
>>51155602
>>51155378>>51155411>don't make them in resinNot necessarily true. Is something like this what you're looking for anon?
>>51155603they had a memorial shrine for DOA lol
>>51155608
>>51155611I was super late and never had a chance for any wig care, sorry
>>51155615
>>51155620didn't anyone ever tell these dolls it's rude to point
>>51155624okay so warning, I may have had a bit too much fun with this lensthere will be more photos with it

>>51155639I shouldn't be the first person to post some other anon's doll >:(don't you have any social validation addiction?
>>51155667
>>51155670okay moving on to the doll meet/swap that evening
>>51155674
>>51155677another thing I didn't have a chance for was posing dolls togetherlike awkward hugs
>>51155681
>>51155655So you're just looking for something 1/3 scale and not 1/4? Didn't Smart doll make a pear body? Or is that too chubby for your taste?
>>51155684someone (not an anon) brought her new Otohimechatted with her some about clothing options"any of these outfits made for babies I would NEVER dress a baby in… I buy them for the doll"
lol sorry I dump photos just as someone's actually having a discussion in the thread>>51155689couple more of her dolls
>>51155691forgot photo>>51155689oh also, I didn't get a pic but the doll in the pink kimono in the back had her considerable assets just… hanging outimpressively ballsy given she was the first doll anyone entering the room would see
>>51155702another doll of the otohime owner
>>51155703okay back to the meme lens
>>51155708
>>51155711
>>51155715
>>51155719
>>51155723butts
>>51155727
>>51155733there were some dolls I just didn't get around to taking many or any photos ofreally need an all-day doll event
>>51155691Don't apologize I've been looking forward to this all weekend. I can't make it to the meetups so I'm always happy to see the dolls hanging out!
>Stop by Volks in both Osaka and Tokyo to get a semi-white DD and DDs body>Neither have them in stock>The online store has zero semi-white bodies as wellHave they been gone for a while now? I didn't realize that a core product like that could be so hard to find. At least heads are available so I can start working on my customs that way.
>>51155736chatted with this doll's owner and her dad? for quite a while – most doll topics covered
>>51155750>>51155741my bröther in christ, vinyl is made from oil
>>51155755
>>51155756and that's thatfor everyone I was trying to explain the yukata material to, here's the current state
>>51155691its fine anon cute pics>>51155685that's.... no... I don't want a fat body just a bit thicker on the hips. I think anons solution is the best one. DDy with a small DD chest piece
>>51155770Yeah I think that's your best bet if you want a 1/3 in vinyl with slightly wider hips.
>>51155822It's weird that in 1000 resin bodies there isnt one like that
>>51155828make your own, it's what this dude did (spoilered for naked dolls)
>>51155828There are some hippier resin bodies I've seen around (mostly indie sculptors on instagram, back when I used instagram,) but they're almost all between 1/6 to 1/4. 1/3 and above probably has less experimentation because it's considerably more expensive to sculpt (and or print/cast/etc) at that scale.
>>51155848How many years long is his backlog again?
>>51155856they're supposed to start shipping this monthbut there have been several geopolitical shifts since I read that so who knows
>>51155865Yeah that's fair, I can't blame anyone right now trying to ship out a product (in this hobby or otherwise,) shit's fucked out there right now. (Honestly has been since 2020, we're still playing catch-up on materials shortages to this day.)
Megumin got a bit too silly
>>51155608lol>>51155755I love this one!>>51155719>>51155600Looks like a fun meet up! Awesome pics anon, thanks for posting.
>>51155702Heres the smart doll with bazookas
>>51156260
>>51156264A doll from friday
>>51156269You can see how big the doll is. Literally toddler sized
>>51156274I do not remember what this doll brand is
>>51156282The doll house room. The two diorama spaces are off to the left. Friday's 11am meetup was really packed.
>>51156285The doll swap/offical meetup on saturday
>>51156290Again, thanks for the anons who showed up, returning and new ones, had a lot of fun chatting and seeing everyone's dolls. Hopefully they can do the doll house and official schedule stuff again next year, they had a great turn out. Lurkers, don't be scared to post your dolls
>>51156303Thanks for documenting for those of us at home, anon. Hello to any lurkers.
>>51156260BOOBA!
>>51154663Thanks, I made about half of them myself this time!
>>51156303Thanks for the wonderful photos anon! Always a pleasure seeing everyone. I'm sure the con will take notice with the turn out we saw in regards to future events. Apparently, there's a lot of people out there who really love dolls.
>>51156282Dollmore, looks like their Lusion line.
>>51156282What >>51156505 said, if it's a fuckoff-huge resin doll Dollmore usually made it. I think they actually get bigger than those, too. The thought of restringing one fills me with genuine fear.
If anyone's ever thought about it, the aftermath of dunking a doll in a pool is very annoying. If you're willing to disassemble your doll to dry everything after the fact it's harmless (and wiping your doll down from time to time with a wet cloth is always a good maintenance step,) but it is time-consuming to deal with for sure.
>>51156692Not my best work, but arranging three dolls on an inflatable rubber duck pool is more difficult than one would expect.
>>51156700
>>51156710
>>51156714Last one, just a little shoot since I'm out of practice.
>>51155600Don't worry, convention photos never come out super professional. The beauty is in how many different types of dolls come together in one place and that all those owners got to meet each other. Thanks for sharing anon.
