>>51174142so many cute dolls........
>>51173666Nice Belly.Have some more.
>>51174192
>>51174192Actually, do you mind if I ask where you got the cute knit beret?
>>51174303I'm sorry, but I really can't remember anymore. I have so many clothes that I don't know where some of them come from.
>>51174192>>51174216Nice knits!Its hard to find pregnancy clothes lol
>>51174482Yeah, was a nice and cheap find on aliexpress.
>>51173561>Its already quite dead herewhile I agree it's dumb to complain about cumbrains on 4chan you shouldn't be surprised if the general ends up with 3 guys jerking off
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip
Despite the postal ninjas best efforts, my new boy has arrived safely at home. Volks is still sold out of MDD 2.0s, so he's going to be a floater for a while.
>>51175017>postal ninjas best effortsYep, there's some idiots working for every postal service. And every courier. Glad your goods arrived intact, anon.
>>51175031Fortunately Canada employs ninjas of the sneaky kind, not thieving.
>>51175017I also won an auction from that seller recently. Surprisingly enough, I'm also in Canada.
>>51175017For the meantime he'll be borrowing Sakura's body. I did buy a replacement torso off booth for him as I don't really care for either of Volks' solutions and Dollbots are impossible to get. Just means more time for me to assemble him a wardrobe, can't have him in hand-me-downs. Right?I've decided his name be Willow.>>51175105What head was it? Is kind of amusing that two wound up overseas in Canada.
>>51175202It was this listing: https://x.com/i/status/2076966219752890423Also, I'm pretty sure I found your twitter from their follower list. I just followed your account, anon!

ahhh damn this autosage>>51159630I also snapped a few pics of the diorama, just forgot to post them lolI love miniature stuff>>51159675the owner said the eyes were custom, commissioned from disasterfulgirls
>>51176207>>51167399>>51167400wait there was that much left? or is that a second bottle
>>51176207Speaking of dioramas, Kesa_place is working on another project right now. I am always excited to see how the new set looks.https://ameblo.jp/kesa-place/
>>51160674here you go, have a re-edit of another shoot I did of Yuzu in the same outfit>>51176215look at all those bookshelves, just waiting to be filled with doll-sized books
>>51176240another re-edit I did of an older photo recently, I've been tending towards bolder colors in my edits thanks to a kodachrome documentary I watched, I'm very impressionabledoes this look over-saturated or too high-contrast to anyone?>>51156692ohishashiburilooks like they had fun
>>51176283and another one as I continue to reply to ded posts>>51173497>>51173520>>51173567>>51173666>Lets see how this civilized doll debate turns out. *Sips*>thread dieswelp that's thatimo (because anyone cares) I can appreciate a good pregnant belly, but the ones I've seen available for dolls just… kind of aren't?so it will continue to not be my kind of thing as long as that remains the case, but I won't say anything about other people posting themuhhh basically they're the same tier as fully-articulated hands to me?
>>51176301>same tier as fully-articulated handsI have also seen those and I don't like the look of them. I assume they work well and are less hassle. But, I still rather carry a box of moulded hands.
>>51176343now, these ones aren't too bad, but I haven't been able to identify themI've only ever seen them in the listing photos of someone who sells custom AP clothes on YAJ
>>51176353I worry about the grip strength holding props.
>>51176301Thread died mostly due to the autosage, no idea why that's turned on for this board honestly.
>>51176214>spoilerI picked up another. Turns out, I quite like absinthe. Around 80% of the first one was cleared between the people I was hanging out with on Saturday. If I wasn't driving home, it would have easily been drained.
>>51175458lol, thanks, I was beginning to wonder!
>>51176343How about very soft silicone handshttps://booth.pm/en/items/2774453
>>51177432Honestly, those look good enough and serviceable.The only complaints are that the fingers are too fat like sasauges and slight color mismatch.
doll bump!
Is the Ribbon Girl rerelease for sale yet, I saw one on ebay.
>>51180761I haven't seen it on their sites. They did just have a Dollpa, so it may have been out early.
>>51179447I don't know how to ask without sounding rude becuse the dolls are nice, but the gaps between the parts on vinyl dolls always bothered me a little. You can see that with the hand and the wrist or the elbow and the socket. Is it something inevitable or can you push the parts closer together if you're autistic and it bothers you?
>>51180939The parts will fit flush, but some poses cause the joints to extend and because they're on a frame, gaps can appear. Sometimes (a lot of times) I don't notice, especially if I'm doing a jokey pic like that one which was for a game thread on another board. But usually I'll make sure shoulders are pushed in and elbows are as flush as they can be. Resin dolls don't have that problem because the structure of the doll comes from all the parts being held together with tension. Its just something that you have to be mindful of with vinyl girls on frames, and depending on the pose, can be unavoidable.
>>51180972Thanks for the explanation anon! Your photos are nice nonetheless.
>>51180918>>51180918A friend of mine was at a Volks store the other day and saw a poster for it, but I don't think it's out yet.
>>51180939I think they showing joints on some spots is part of the charm, I feel in love with these dolls precisely because I like the joints for some reason
>>51174142I have to thank the anons who wrote the beginners guide. She's my first doll and it's the cuttest thing, just arrived today, I'll be taking more photos on the weekend and posting them here later
Her name is Kanade btw
>>51181469>>51181472Cute! Welcome to the hobby!
>>51181472Super cute! When are you getting her pregnancy parts? Would love to see her pregnant!
okay come on guys…
i have this doll on the way and having trouble finding clothes on japanese sites, its height is 70cm which i think should be 1/3 but it looks like 1/3 can range from like 60cm upwards. are there any codes for a dolfie or some other brand which has this size body? more measurements here postimg.cc/gallery/9WH2Q9j
>>51181469Very cute girl! I like her coord and her hat, Congrats!
>>51182148Yeah 60cm is the standard 1/3. You have her measurements so compare it with clothes you see. Really though if you have a non standard size doll, clothes can be hit or miss. Even if you have a 1/3 60cm doll, that dose'nt mean everything will fit perfectly. It's one benefit of a doll line like DD, that also make clothes. But those clothes are nore expensive too. You should be able to find stuff that fits her though with enough trial and error.
>>51182213its annoying aliexpress doesnt let you search bjd anymore theyve really limited search options for doll stuff, ive seen a few listings for this exact size in related products to other things but they dont show up when searching
>>51181715Wtf Anon, at least let him take her to dinner first
>>51181715Is this the running gag?
>>51180761>>51180918>>51181107https://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/piapro/event/magicalmirai2026.html#mm2026VSshop
>>51182754>※ボークス店頭・WEBでは2026年秋頃に販売予定 Thank fucking Christ I don't have to pay someone to go get me one in person. They're rereleasing nearly everything, huh?
>>51182771Looks like, but it's gonna be click war hell. May the odds be in your favor.
>>51182148Perhaps need to get clothes from the same manfacturer.You can try the 70cm Boy clothes and try from places like legenddoll.You can also try buying the largest clothes for 60cm girls to see if it will fit.
>>51183021God why can't it just be a normal preorder. I was going to type that I hate Volks sometimes, but no. It's not just them, it's the entire... Japanese business framework that vexes me.>>51182148What is this anyway? I can try to see if anyone makes clothes just for this. Very cute doll either way! Try larger DDdy clothes, anything made with elastic might have a good shot at fitting. Skirts and loose tops are your best bet -- pants might be a challenge.
>>51183086>same manfacturer.>>51183086its some random chink doll from taobao, i did look on taobao and found a bunch of clothes listed at for 68cm so have bought them theyre super cheap on there too but theres not as much variety as ive seen on yahoo auctions. will order some DDdy next time i order things from japan thanks.
fuck off with your bootleg you fucking nigger
>>51183274Bootlegs are completely justified, brands behave like entitled lazy divas. Fuck them; Steal everything.
>>51183134Nah it's not just a doll problem, ANYTHING from Japan will have this exclusivity bullshit. Dolls, toys, clothes, fucking home goods, doesn't matter. Limited edition/exclusivity = value and therefore no one can just buy something directly, they have to jump through hoops.
>>51183417Taylor Swift's fans friendly priced concert tickets too
>>51183417I mean it's also because demand outpaces supply. The vinyl shortage doesn't help either. For Volks specifically they are big enough that I'm sure they could do more preorders especially in the past at least. But other Japanese doll brands like Angel Philia and Azone have historically done tons of preorders and never had clickwar (other than AP's main site), it's only turned into clickwar due to their popularity explosion and I doubt they can 5x their production capacity within a year when there's severe material shortagesSimilarly there are Chinese doll items that have capped supply as well, but it's usually outfits or custom faceups that are more convoluted to make than unpainted casted dolls which usually have no limit and are also just unlimited mto within the preorder periodA lot of Japanese companies have started being more open to unlimited preorders though, Gift with made to order fumos is one of them. Same with a lot of re-released Kotobukiya figures. Idk about other things though.
>>51183563I agree with you there on all points, however the thing I am specifically looking to get is the Ribbon Girl set, which is mostly fabric. Just sell it as a normal preorder for god's sake.
>>51182148This doll would be so cute if she were pregnant. Where can I find silicon pregnant dolls?
>>51183593I think you're in luckhttps://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/piapro/product/drs_miku06.htmlIt says delivery starts sequentially, that usually means presale, not click war
>>51183593Yeah, my post was mostly in defense of other Japanese companies that do make an effort. Not really Volks
>>51183667Not sure about silicon versions, but for standard preggo bjd, all you had to do was google it.
>>51183691Best news I've heard all day, thank you anon!

>>51180972hell yeah posting dolls on other boards

>>51184007Ikr
"I'm going to shit up the thread by pretending to be a poster/topic I don't like to try and make everyone else hate that thing, too." If you don't like something the easiest way to be rid of it is to ignore it, anon.

>>51184063The single most feminine thing is to give birth. By denying your dolls that very development, you are, functionally, turning them into men
>now theyre pushing their fetish onto everyoneok cool im just going to stop posting
>>51184117Cute! What are you planning?
>>51184117Cute!Pink fabric? I'm guessing swimsuit or pajamas
RIP DoA. That forum had a hell of a lot of genuinely useful information stored in threads over the years, so this is a loss. I never used it, because I don't want to socialize at the best of times, but even I found use from the discussions there, so it's still sad to know that that wealth of information is just gone, now. Especially because with how the internet is now, it's not going to be replaced by anything, because forums are dead and everyone is too brainrotted by shortform content to actually hold discussion over the best ways to mod a doll body for a specific goal, the best non-doll props at a certain scale, how to do a suwariko joint mod, and so on. Even if it was a resin-focused forum, as a hobby we've lost a lot. So, RIP to DoA. It wasn't perfect, it was an elitist, hard-to-navigate cesspool, but it was still better to have it than not.
>>51184030Thanks for the advice kind anon, however: Who the fuck are you? /bjd/'s rabbi? Luke Skywalker's father? The Plumber?
>>51184601I'm not anyone special anon, it is simply my hope that people will remember to post the things they want to see, and don't engage with the things they don't want to see.
>>51184556It's not like it's going to be gone-gone, it's going into archive mode, so it'll at least still be around.
>>51184556What led to the closure of DoA? It can't cost that mich to keep a fourm up and running, especially if it's mostly dead. I know the community and how they behaved definitely drove a lot of people away, that's always been the ironic part to me. Is there really a BJD community any more? DoA is dead, Tumblr has been dead for years, the /toy/ thread has been dead, I guess it's just dispersed on social media sites like everything else? Instagram and x?
>>51184817The owner and only person with complete admin powers vanished, leaving the remaining admins unable to promote new mods.
>>51184794The owner came back and killed the forum part of the site this morning, so as far as I can see it's all gone.>>51184817The owner was MIA and the remaining mods had lives, families, and other things pulling them from the hobby and their desire to continue babysitting the forum. Because the owner vanished, they couldn't promote anyone else who wanted to do that shit either, so they posted that they were going to stop supporting the forums by a certain deadline. As of this morning it seems like the forums have disappeared entirely. As for where everyone else has gone... instagram USED to be popular, but no one uses it anymore since instagram killed how tagging works. I know there are some facebook groups, but I am not keen to join those... DollDreaming has a resin section, maybe people will migrate there? And I guess the rest just use... twitter? Reddit? Discord, probably? The old days of internet communities being actual communities are pretty much dead, unfortunately. I genuinely think part of the reason this thread has so many posters is the simple fact that there's not really anywhere else to go. I think the same could be said for a lot of hobbies, honestly.
>>51184920>The owner came back and killed the forum part of the site this morning, so as far as I can see it's all gone.Oh shit, really? Fucking hell.
>>51184931Yeah, absolutely the most petty, pissy thing that could've been done. Which doesn't necessarily surprise me, inasmuch as it is disappointing to see another person take the low road.
>>51181715>>51184007The anon from the last thread was right, you people really are fucking disgusting and have no restraint. You'd get along very well with furries, I bet.
does anyone have experience in unshrinking doll clothes? i made a noob mistake of washing some clothes in warm water and now it looks a bit wonky when the doll tries to wear it
i fucking hate how reddit has practically no way to find posts by date or old postshttps://old.reddit.com/r/BJD/comments/1voxub9/den_of_angels_is_totally_down/also apparently there's a new forum alreadyhttps://old.reddit.com/r/BJD/comments/1vopd0v/new_forum_by_one_of_the_original_creators_of_doa/https://www.lovelyeveryone.com/
>>51184292>>51184550Close! We're gonna try and sew a cute underwear set. Maybe some PJs and other stuffs too.
>>51185234>you need to be logged in to do that>you need to be logged in to do that>you need to be logged in to do that
>>51185596That website AND old reddit, jesus. Reddit has insufferable people, but as a resource for general research and information it's one of the few options left. Making it impossible to access the good version of the website without an account is infuriating. Same with the DoA clone: part of the reason DoA dying like is the fact that decades of hobby-specific information has been lost, and what does replacement do? Gatekeep all the info so no one else can archive it, either. Why are people incapable of learning from the past?
I saw a guy selling mega tits chest parts for bjds at comiket yesterday. No preggo belly though might have actually bought that.
>>51185234>reddit spacing>actually complaining about reddit's lack of features, in a doll thread on 4chanGo back.
For the DOA refugees please get some self awareness before you post and try to understand the sites culture first
>>51185864I don't think we're gonna get a lot of DOA refugees here
>>51185885Then explain the lolcow tier retards lately?
>>51185900They aren't new, they come by every so often.
>>51185900>lolcow-tierOne anon schizolarping pregnancyposting and also pregnancy anti-posting to try and be a nuisance for less than a week does not a lolcow make. Volks/Dolk anon is also relatively harmless and barely counts as a threadschizo compared to the shit you'd see in other boards. /jp/ in general tends to be pretty tame.
>>51185912>he thinks its one anonOk we found the insane guy
testing
I came back as promise, I took Kanade to a museum, took some photos and then got too embarrassed to take more, welp, here are some
>>51186025Lovely, anon! Seems like a fun place to do a photoshoot.
Btw you always hear that whales are big but you never really expect them to be that big
>>51186031Would you say you and Kanade had a whale of a time.
>>51186030It is, sadly interesting museums in my city are pretty rare and art was never my thing, but I'll try visiting an art museum in two weeks and see what happens
>>51186032I'm turning into my dad, this made me laugh.Welp, now I'm a father, just finished brushing her hair
Also bought her new hair accessories, those Chinese stores are perfect for these things, you find lots of things for cheap
We went outside today!>>51186031Very cute pictures! I'd love to be able to take photos in some museums as well, but I'm always wary of being in peoples way when I'm out shooting. Maybe I just need to plan visits when nobody else is around
>>51186080Ty anon, your photos looks great and your doll is pretty cute.Today I had good luck, almost no people came in the exhibit I took the photos and the few that entered took a quick look and went way, maybe to avoid the weird guy taking photos of a doll lol
Be honest anon, do you cuddle and sleep with your dolls? We're all anonymous here, you can tell us...
>>51186115I'm 53, I'd seriously question my sanity. So no; They're behind a showcase.
>>51186115If I'm having a really bad day, I'll have them sit on my lap as I use my computer (it helps)
>>51186115No, that's what plushies are for.
>>51186051She is cute as hell anon keep her on BC
anyone here done their own faceups?
>>51186267Several anons have, and all of them are (in my opinion) lovely, personable, and memorable.
>>51186272I'd love to know a bit about the process and what tools are required. i plan to give it a go when I move to my new place :)
>>51186277The QnA Guide linked in the OP has a list of resources for faceups! The basics you will need (aside from a doll to work on) is a respirator, MSC (Mr. Super Clear, a sealant that works well for resin and vinyl,) chalk pastels or watercolor pencils (not normal ones or anything that uses an oil-base/binder,) and a willingness to try and learn as you go. Seal the head (aka, spray it with MSC) to prevent staining, then once it's dry, you can start practicing to make the faceup you want. Do it in layers, sealing between parts so that if you get something you like, you can preserve it without having to worry about starting over for the next part of the face (wear a respirator, MSC is not good to breathe in.) Bit by bit, you can make the doll you want this way. Some people get very fancy with what they do (adding false eyelashes, cutting custom mouth shapes with clay inserts for the teeth/tongue, using mica powder for shine, and so on,) and others might use different materials (such as acrylic paint) for a bolder look. There's room to play around and experiment (but avoid human makeup, nail-polish, and anything based in oil, as it can stain or damage the vinyl/resin.) See what you want to make and then research how to do something similar -- then try, fail, and try some more and surely you will get to where you want to be, anon. Good luck!
>>51186288thank you, I appreciate the advice. i do my own makeup fairly regularly so I'll be trying to imitate what I already know I guess but it sounds like there's some specialised paints from what you've recommended. i dont have a spray gun but I will get one and an airless compressor.
>>51186291If you can do makeup you might not need one.. Like, can you draw your own eyeliner?
>>51186295yeah, I do winged eyeliner with a liquid eyeliner. might be needed for doing blush though but I'll try free handing it too
>>51186296For blush honestly pastels and a makeup brush isn't that bad, especially for a softer look, just depends what kind of style you're going for.
Oh, it does depend if youre talking resin or vinyl, though.
>>51186299i found a decent tutorial actually for this style so it might be possible without an airbrush>>51186305resin!
>>51186115dolls are too hardi'm with this anon>>51186145i do have them sitting nearby on my bedside table though
>>51186115I tried to with my newest MDD i got a few days ago but i was concerned about messing up the hair the whole time so I just put them back
oh snap>>51186312honestly an airbrush is overkill for OOAK faceupssealed pastel powder works fine for blushing, and for full color changes you need to stain (for vinyl) or cast in that color originally
>>51187326As an airbrush owner, I agree with this. Like yeah, you COULD do part of the faceup with an airbrush, but it's a lot of setup and cleanup for a few seconds of painting, that could also be accomplished with a brush and pastels in less time than it took to setup the airbrush.
I finally de-stained all of my dolls! Saber alter took a lot of money and time to de-stain. Now they can all take swimsuit pics.>>51186025>>51186031>>51186047>>51186051>>51186080Very cute! Love the pics anons, thanks for sharing.I am still sorting through all my recent hiking photos and plan to post some outdoor pics too.>>51186115No, never even crossed my mind.
>>51187488I really like this dudes pics not just because of the quality but because you can tell he has a fucking type
Summer vibes

>>51188629lol, thanks, that punky cover up shirt took more tries than I'd like to admit...
okay I give up, I’m buying a patternsideways because I can’t be assed to edit a phone snap
>>51188617>>51188619Samus, my love!
>>51188709She looks equally grumpy with the process (and for having her wig stolen give it back)
>>51188629>>51188771She is lovely!
>>51188709Looks cute even without a pattern>>51187488Your photos always make me want more character dolls>>51188621Cute outfit and shorts>>51186312I don't know too much about realistic faceups but I always thought they were done mostly with pastels. All the realistic bjd artists I see have a fuckton of pastels in every color
I resisted the devils call to buy another fullset doll at dolks in akiba today. But I got some accessories and underwear. A bit shocked they didnt have any stain remover, and no protective bodysuit for 1/6 size.
>>51189092I'd ask for a photo, but I know how Doll Point is about photography. You're very strong, anon.
i like to say good night to my doll everynight before i sleep incase there's a spirit there that isn't happy with how i treat her
>>51189354I am still in tokyo until the 27th I may yet cave in and buy one lol.
>>51188786 I have a crush on your doll, anon
>>51189600Apparently you're not alone, she's just too powerful.
Hello cuties, we are new here. I really need some kind of doll case. Anyone got any recommendation here? I was thinking about building it myself but maybe I should just buy some acrylic cube instead?
>>51190486Here are some of the options out there.
>>51190497I don't mean for travelling. I just want some kind of small display case.
>>51190506If you have an Ikea nearby, there are lots of options. Just look for glass cabinets.
>>51190486seconding >>51190509Ikea has a lot of really nice display cabinets/cases that are really affordable and adjustable to many doll/figure heights. Also there are some smaller cube ones that have optional glass fronts. They also have lighting available if you're so inclined. A second idea is to check local thrift or second hand stores. A lot of older furniture with glass display hutches can be found cheap, but they tend to be full cabinet sized things.
>>51190509>>51190520Sounds great! I have an Ikea here and will take a closer look at it again. Thank you!
>>51190541Of course, good luck finding something. Your dolls are pretty BTW. I hope you find something nice to keep them in.
>>51190601Thanks. I'm not a good photographer tho. I need a better camera. Also not vinyl. My dolls are made from clay so not sure if I should even post here.
whats a good cheap starter doll? i think BJDs are super cute but i have a spending limit of like 100 dollars
>>51190745Not an expert but Dolfie always looked good to me. Depends on your taste tho.
>>51190745I would look at the blind box dolls or the fashion doll thread on /toy.
>>51190745Or probably some chinese doll would be cheaper. They also can look very cute.
>>51190750i was thinking about getting a blindbox doll, i saw them mentioned a few threads ago and i liked the designs>>51190749i plan on getting a dollfie when i have more money available, ive wanted a dollfie for years now
>>51190686I was going to ask if those are porcelain. They're not on topic persay, but I personally don't mind seeing them from time to time. All dolls are good dolls, and they're more on-topic than something like a Barbie (in my opinion, anyway.) Tell us about them.>>51190745Obitsu/Parabox, Azone Pure Neemo, Blind Box BJDs, Some Imomodolls I think... mostly smaller 1/6-scale dolls are a good place to start and common entry into the hobby for many. If you want a blind box doll, you can check Jane's Doll Land, they carry a ton of them.
>>51190760>Tell us about them.They are hand-made art dolls made by a famous japanese doll maker. Pic related is a better picture of the big one (shes in the middle). I always feel bad now when I don't clean my room because I feel like they are actually watching me. I swear they are alive.
>>51190801>artdollsAnon I love you. They're beautiful.
>>51186115i ordered a tpe one for this
>>51191225but your dolls want to be cuddled silicone is far superior to tpe and tpe is for the poors.
>>51186115i sleep with my dearSD and ruined her makeup...
>>51190486I own several detolfs and a black curio cabinet from ikea. The curio was infinitely easier to put together, but almost $100 more. It holds 1/3 on the top shelf and the bottom is perfect for 1/6 size. I also have an acrylic cabinet from Amazon for a few dolls to chill on my desk. Its nice and cheap and fits 3-4 1/3 dolls easily.
>>51190686Could have at last sand them before baking.Sloppy job.
>>51192178It's called artistic freedom. That artist already has created hundreds of dolls. She is extremely productive.

>>51195193Last.Was considering a new Nikon Camera and some LOTTE snacks...But decided against it.We have that at home already
>>51195194 (et al)Amazing posts anon, it seems like you and your doll are having wonderful adventures together, I'm happy for you! Is her hair hard to maintain?
>>51195207The wig is similar to any long wig and the styled front part is harder to maintain. She traveled inside the clear bag the entire trip.A toothbrush is needed just before photoshoots.The front styled parts were messed up by the wind and I used some of the Wig treatment spray to re-style it.It is more work than some simpler wigs for sure.
>>51195168Awesome photos! How do you make her stand on 1 leg so well?
>>51195246magic!
>>51195259So you take 2 photos? One without her and one with her leaning against some object and then you later edit the object away and merge it with the other photo?
>>51195285I used the clone tool to edit out the stand.But I have also used the method you mentioned and yes, that does work. Only then I would need to carry 2 tripods, one for the camera and one for doll for that to work. It was too much gear to carry for a mountain hike.
>>51195303Interesting. Shows how much work is behind such doll photos.
>>51195193I wish I was your doll. She looks so happy. Beautiful photos. Enjoy your trip!
>>51188619Nice, I like her pose.>>51195147Cute! I love the theme of the first pics.>>51195156Maybe you pushed the saturation a bit too much on this one.Thanks for sharing all those!!
>>51195259What kind of tripod contraption are you using to hold your doll? Need me one of those.
lol why do some of these blind box bjds look so worried? look at her brows
>>51195786i just wish blind boxes had real hair and clothes
>>51195415>>51195593Thanks! I agree that color saturated pic was over done since I was trying to bring out the clouds and sky more.>>51195643https://kanaenomai.booth.pm/items/5631069I detached the claw arm portion and it has a 1/4 threaded hole for regular tripods 1/4 screws. I placed the arm into a regular camera tripod I had laying around. Booth shows sold out, but there are a few of those on dollyteria available.
I love dolls but holy shit photofagging seems like such a drag having to carry all that shit
>>51195259>>51195168nice photos anon>>51195143really love the outfit>>51196076lift some weights and do some hiking
>>51196095Not really the weight of it brother just the bulk and hassle. Im fit but I hate clutter
>>51195143>>51195147Wonderful shots, beautiful doll you have as well, anon.Want to share my pics in exchange.

>>51195194ffs anon, amazing work! Lacy Anne is a lucky girl. neat behind the scenes stuff too!>>51196570cute!
>>51196560>>51196567>>51196570Very pretty picsShe looks great in that outfit
>>51197130Thanks, I think so too. Was lucky to catch it while Saber was still on the way to me.
am I allowed to talk about resin printed dolls here?
>>51198044Of course, just try to avoid blatant fetish-posting
>>51198044
>>51198044Sure anon, whether you made them yourself or got them from another person. I'd love to see your dolls!
>>51198044Sure, as long as you fetish-post
MDD semi white base bodies are back on Volks USA.
>>51199199Awesome, my dog love those.They're expensive but he refuses to chew anything else.
>>51199199You can grab one for me, right? Thanks in advance
Beware of the innocent-looking shrine maiden
>>51199583There have been reports of the maiden appearing at shrines all around the world, begging people for money
>>51199590If you see her, do not approach, do not make eye contact, and do NOT give her your spare change.
>>51199594Sounds like you're actually urge me to do it.She's a cutie though, can't resist
>>51199583She's beautiful anon, I really love her eyes. Very cool shooting location as well.
It has been one hell of a week, anon...>>51199594I'm giving her a dollar, and you can't stop me!!!>>51196570Beautiful pics; I love the set.>>51196076It is a lot easier if you have the right sort of gear for it. When I'm going out, I have the doll bag slung across my back (volks DD bag) which can hold my doll and any accessories. If I'm feeling super pressed, I can fit everything else in just this bag too. Otherwise, I have a smaller pouch that holds a tripod, and then I usually just carry my camera around the neck (but I also have a shoulder bag that I bring if I want any camera accessories/additional lenses.) So long as the bags aren't swinging around when I'm walking, it is surprisingly easy to walk on trails, or even just through the woods, carrying all of that. Usually, though, it is just the doll bag and my camera around the neck. However, there are tales of certain anon in here dragging large lighting equipment out into the woods for some of his shots...
ordered my first “real doll” (not a blind box) (technically a mjd though..) but it will be here december/january and im so excited. she is very cute and i cant wait to take pictures of her :)
>>51199896Congrats anon, mine was this blind box mjd, they also are super cute I hope you enjoy lots of photos
>>51199583>>51199590>>51199594And another gaijin desecrating a holly place.You really behave like fucking niggers.
>>51200172NTA but religion is retarded nigger cattle cult anyway
How expensive was your most expensive doll?Mine cost 640 USD (550 Euro) + 175 USD (150 Euro) shipping/tax And I bought her even tho I'm a fucking poorfag subhuman who doesn't even have a bed!
>>51200314Dont even want to think about it honestly
>>51200314All I'm going to say is that the shipping alone was several hundred dollars due to the size and weight. I miss having disposable income.
>>51200314Pretty similar for me.>>512003771/1 scale? Or...a doll that belongs in a different thread?
>>512003141500USD...Honestly, I really regret it. The quality of it was pretty dissapointing for the price. Was fucking huge though. But, yeah I really cant reccomend DOLK collabs to anyone but super rich niggas who dont really care that muchI enjoy my cheaper dolls more than I enjoy it honestly
>>51200314My first was also my most expensive, the first release Miku DD. I missed the preorder and got her from mandarake instead. With shipping and taxes included I think I paid about 800 to 900 Euro. The yen was a lot stronger back then.
>>51200314It was my grail doll and new so... yeah.
>>51200378He arrived in a wooden crate and took me three days to string together, breaking every stringing tool I possessed in the process.
>>51200809holy shit I didnt know they had horsebussy dolls thats fucking crazy and huge he DWARFS miku
>>51200917He's a Studio Naiko "Moon" with the "Spica" head by NatsukiBJD!
>>51200407>1500USD...I could see myself paying this amount for a doll>>51200733This would be too much for me
>>51200942I think in retrospect anything more than 700 or so is just too crazy.Like its just a doll at the end of the day
>>51200314Including shipping i spent about $1,600 on Shampoo. Then she got a re-release and her price tanked a few months later. Lol o well
>>51201050I get what you mean, but that is like saying the Mona Lisa painting isn't worth that much, like its only a painting at the end of the day.Some custom heads also sell for astronomical prices because it can also be considered as fine art.
>>51201050When I paid my 700 bucks I made a list of pros and cons of why to buy it or not and the pros easily won.Dolls are like little daughterfus so spending a bit of money is justifiable. They are even better than daughterfus because they require no work at all and never age.
Like I have nothing else to spend my money on anyway. In the end it's just a number on my bank account. All I ever buy is just food, clothes or art materials.
>>51200407Around 1000 euros with an additional head from SartoriaJ.I do not regret it, the outfit is glorious but they fucked me over by providing a body full of mold's creases.I asked how to get ride of it on the main forum by providing the same picture: My post is nowhere to be found...
>>51201210>I get what you mean, but that is like saying the Mona Lisa painting isn't worth that much, like its only a painting at the end of the day.I mean yeah, a painting doesn't put a roof over my head and feed me. The Red Vinyard sold for only 400 francs if we are being real sisterOf course different people value different things, but I could not spend more than 700 on an art piece ever again, im not a filthy rich mf with no responsibilities>>51201216Absolutely, I love my dolls but I think spending too much on them also makes me feel too guilty for buying them and takes away from my enjoyment. 700 is just my personal break point
>>51201242>700 is just my personal break pointIt's understandable. It depends on how much money you have. If I had more money I would buy more but it's just an expensive hobby.
>>51201249Honestly, more than new dolls, I just want clothes for my girls now. I wish id maybe bought less dolls and just more outfits from the start, lol.
>>51201242I also think there is a difference between your first or second doll and any dolls you buy after this.Like I just wanted to buy an expensive doll once. So that I have it. But I don't really plan on paying this amount of money for a doll again. I already have my daughterfu now and don't really need another. Maybe it will happen again who knows but I don't really need anymore now.
>>51201265I feel this. Also I'm definitely not trying to shame anyone that's spent more, its fine to buy whatever is in your means, just yapping my personal experience
>>51201264Definitely. More clothes would be nice. I also wonder if I actually can wash my dolls clothes. I think they could need some washing.
>>51201237Found my post, it's now buried in the layaway/Q&A section and it's locked.
>>51201275Hand wash! Its also good to just run them through water once or twice if theyre new, makes them stain less in my experience
Does anyone know what kind or model doll this is? I'm new to this so I don't know how to tell..
>>51200314$2750
>>51199583>>51199590Lovely shrine and shrine maiden!Here is Frieren’s donation.
>>51201264My current focus is trying to find props and so on that work for 1/3. Easier said than done, so I get things infrequently whenever I find them (when I can afford them... vintage salesman samples are a whole other collector space.)>>51201306Head looks like a Dollfie Dream, maybe with jointed hands from Yahoo Japan Auctions or BOOTH. Outfit could be from anywhere or hand-made. My best guess is that this is a Dollfie Dream (so, 60cm) with custom hands. Do you have more photos, or an image source? I can try to track down details on this specific doll (reverse-image searching this one didn't bring anything up.)
>>51201315Dayum. That better be a nice doll!
>>51201375https://x.com/PpPeipeiPipi/status/2091116343441637726I think it's the Kuonji Alice Dollfie Dream since the person who posted it mostly posts Type Moon art, and after looking into it some they did make one of those. The mouth looks a bit different though but it's hard to tell
>>51201320kek
>>51200172I was at the toshogu shrine in nikko today. They have a gundam collab. There was a gundam displayed next to the mikoshi. A doll in a miko outfit isnt going to desecrate shit, I bet the locals loved it.
>>51201624Proof
>>51195174>those highlights
>>51199896>(technically a mjd though..)most of the dolls posted here are MJDs
alright my big niggashow do you organize ur doll clothings
>>51201955I personally store them in ziploc bags and store those flat in an old dresser that would be too much of a pain in the ass to remove from my home, but those plastic storage containers would also be great for this.
>>51201955I bought a bunch of craft paper organizers and have everything in those by categories Pants, shorts, shirts, colors, white, long sleeve, short sleeve, etc. and then stack them in drawers. It's really nice. I also have a small set of drawers that I dedicate to my large dresses in oversized ziplocks with those packets for moisture. I keep an empty backet next to me while I change them so I can put them all back where they belong. Pic related for the organizers.
