Have you guys taken your dolls out for a walk recently?

>>17016891
What's there to dislike?

Are there any anime styled dolls with thicker proportions? I don't mean meme THICC, just some meat on the thighs or something. DDs have beautiful faces, but the bodies look so odd to me.

>>17016913
There's the Dollfie Dream Dynamite body. It has a super slim waist but it might be more what you're looking for.

>>17016865
That's a really cute flandre. And the outfit is fantastic.

The color of her head and body are different skin tones, this bothers me.

>>17017712
Yeah, I think it looks pretty ugly just because of the mismatch.

Reposting from February:
>If you want Aoi, Yukino, Rena, Mayu or Miiko they're finishing production in May then it's while supplies last

>>17017904
I wanna know what is going to replace them, if anything, cause the standard models, while not very popular, are still pretty good for sales with beginner collectors.

>>17017922
I don't think anything was announced

>>17017904
I hope it's Aoi and Yukino who are being retired as they were made early on and don't look as nice as the others IMO.

>>17017942
How did you manage to reply to a post without looking at it?

>>17017904

i hope volks doesn't discontinue standard models all together...maybe they're just giving them makeovers.

>>17017986
Volks needs good standards readily available. If they didn't Choo would be running laps.

Too bad the only semi-readily available licensed standards Volks has is Vocaloid, but they only pop up at random cons and from time to time.

>>17017904
Thanks a lot. After further research I think a better plan of action for the character I want would be to get the plain DDDy body and find a head for it separately, since she needs face with a less cutesy expression (and preferably with black brows instead of brown), but this is good information to have.

>>17017922
New mdd is probably going to have ddh10 head.

The azo2 body uses the obitsu 50cm skeleton, so, if I'm not mistaken, I should be able to swap the azo2's bust out for a smaller one from obitsu, right? I really like the hips & thighs on the body but I would like to make a pear shape with it. I don't think there'd be an issue, but I figure I'd ask just to get a second opinion.

>>17018347
I'm sorta tempted to get that new azone with the changeable eyes, my azone 50 Mahiro is all by herself, but I barely have any clothes for her besides default. Dat I bust...

So, I used to think BSJs are creepy... Mostly the eyes though. Lately however, I've been lurking on the threads. And now, they don't seem creepy at all, instead, rather appealing. Like, they are adorable. I looked at the linked provided last thread, but now they are down. I was wondering what would be a site to shop at would be? A friend told me Obitsu.

Welcome!

Links are back up. But for future reference if you look for bjd.buyfags.moe or dollfaq.buyfags.moe in the archive (http://arch.b4k.co/jp) you'll find the links in the OP of this thread.

>I was wondering what would be a site to shop at would be?

The lowest hurdles are
www.volks.co.jp
volksusa.com
amiami.com
Hovvysearch (1999.co.jp/eng/doll)
and of course mandarake.
Put items in a cart and they ship to you.

Stepping up there are boutique sites like dollmore.net and junkyspot.com and short of going to Japan you can flex your buying power on YJA.

>A friend told me Obitsu
Unfortunately Obitsu doesn't have a webstore, not an international one anyway. If you specifically need an Obitsu you can get their bodies from Hobbysearch and Junkyspot.

>>17022265
Oh, I was talking about the buyfags links. When I checked them at least, it couldn't connect to anything. I checked after seeing your reply, then suddenly, they worked again!
Also, now I see why everyone takes good care of their girls here (from what I've seen) with price tags like those. But, I guess it's the quality you pay for or something?

Do Licca-chan clothes fit Obitsu 23 bodies?

>>17022463
They are usually good quality, but a decent chunk of the price tag is due to availability.

>>17022463
>Oh, I was talking about the buyfags links. When I checked them at least, it couldn't connect to anything


Yeah, in the last thread it turned out the owner of buyfags.moe forgot to pay the bill. So direct links to the google docs was posted in the meantime.

>>17022265
Parabox sells obitsu bodies with or without their own heads too.
Btw, where would the new 1/6 obitsu heads with changeable eyes be sold, anyone has any ideas?

>>17018693
That's a good idea too. I didn't think of that.

Her head is darker than her body, is this just from lighting?

>>17023875
- are they the same skintones?
- was the head second-hand?
- can you take a pciture in a better light?

>>17022466
You're in luck, I bought a shitload off Mandarake for that body. Licca clothes fit that body for the most part; I've got a dozen sets or so but a few of them are a tiny bit too big, e.g. one dress fits perfectly but another hangs loose and it's noticable because that dress shows the shoulders. All the casual stuff like T shirts fits just fine.
I've never found a measurement of Licca's height but the feet should be the same size as Obitsu (22mm). I bought shoes from Aliexpress for Obitsu 23cm, some of them listed Obitsu/Licca as interchangable, some were just meant for Licca, but all of them fit. Just be aware with the shoe thing that shoes can be very snug and may not allow socks underneath which will look weird if the shoe style isn't meant to be worn barefoot.

>>17023875
>>17024138
DD2-era NS is a bit lighter than how it is now, so that's probably it. Her head was just made more recently.

>>17024507
Huh both head and body are from 2012, but I'll probably upgrade her to new ddy.

>>17024120
Thank you! Now my Mamachapps will have a nice wardrobe when they get here.

>>17025299
Bust and head are obv. different materials, may appear different under different light.

>>17025552
Ohh yeah, that makes sense.

Gonna get around and upgrade her to the newer DDY. The original one is so stiff.

How do Parabox 40-50 cm dolls compare to MDDs? How do the head sizes line up and do Parabos look good with DDs? How is the faceup quality of their hand-painted service?

How do Parabox 40-50 cm dolls compare to MDDs?

The Parabox 40 cm is near identical in height and I have no trouble fitting MDD clothes. OTK socks tend to slip off the kneecaps however.

Underneath, the body is Obitsu and inherently more flexible.

Thank you! I might go for a 45cm just because I like the calve shape better.

Your girl is adorable and I love seeing her on here!

>>17029302
Actually, looking at it, I'll probably just get the 40cm and swap the calve shells out with a pair of 45cm ones.

I'm in the process of upgrading my 04 girl into Sonico. Her taobao goods were just shipped via EMS. I hope this comes out good.

I have a Parabox hand-painted head and I found the quality of the faceup to be acceptable. It has no noticeable flaws however is not as detailed as what is available from the top-shelf creators. This is reflected in the price of course, Parabox heads are exceptionally cheap for hand-painted work.

Consider them an entry-level option if you wish to get started. The head itself of course can always be re-painted by a top-level artist at a later date if you grow to dislike what you get initially. I'm not as fanatic about dolls as I used to be so my simple Parabox boy is suitable for me.

>>17034034

I can't - I decided to go get a girlfriend because they're cheaper.

No but generally Volks heads go better onto a Parabox body than the other way around. A head that is a bit too big looks cute and childish, a head that is too small looks alien.

>>17034034
$700 is expensive? Maybe for a 12 yr old.

Do you even have a job or regular income?
Minimum wage and 37.5 hours of work a week would be enough to buy a doll. Unless if you have tons of bills because of poor life choices. (Renting housing you can't afford, kids and gf that you can't afford, car payments that you can't really afford, eating take out all the time, etc..)

I don't know if they updated it, but its head cap/head is rock hard. still better than their soft heads cause they flex a fuck ton and cause paint cracking

Are DDS and DDIII parts compatible with each other? Which do you prefer?

>>17040216
They're compatible, but there's not much reason to mix them together.

I prefer DDS, because of their shorter legs.

>>17040280
Same, every time I pick up my DD2 or DD3 dolls they just feel insanely tall. After spending most of my time handling my MDDs or even 50cms

>>17039231
Yes, but for people who have p.o. boxes, that is technically the valid address. My house doesn't have a mailbox besides the one at the post office.

>>17040596
You don't have a street address? What about time sensitive things or things that need signatures like fedex or oversize things like furniture?

>>17040915

If your not home to accept something big at the door they usually leave you a slip and make you come to the post office to pick it up.

>>17041047
I'm not talking about not being home when they deliver I'm talking about why they can't just deliver to your home in the first place? Is Canada post that lazy?

The house just doesn't have a mailbox or letter slot, so letter size deliveries go to the post office box. Fedex and similar still come to the door, but if you're expecting bills and the like, you just pick it up at the post office.

Ah, well even when the packages are addressed to my home address, Canada Post just takes all of it to whatever post office corresponds to the postal code and lets the nice ladies who work there sort them out by box number. Granted, my town is small enough that they know to put stuff addressed to my house into my box by my name (packages just get a slip of paper in the box then you show ID at the counter to get it).

For future reference, you generally shouldn't be using magic erasers anywhere on the head unless it has a Volks faceup. It looks like yours is so it's no big deal.

be more careful reeeeeee. ideally you shouldn't be using a magic eraser on her at all, and you do it roughly for 15 minutes?

>>17043724
>>17043860
Sorry, but at least crisis averted and no weird damage.

>>17043462
incidentally, why not use a magic eraser on the head?

>>17044108
Not them but I'm pretty sure it can take off a faceup that isn't as durable as a factory Volks default.

>>17044108
if you do it too hard, it can be abrasive too.

>>17044116
ok, sure. should be fine using it on an unpainted section that's been discoloured though right?

>>17044126
I thought it straight up is an abrasive, and that's how it works. I accidentally took off my fingerprints the first time I used them.

>>17044270
>should be fine using it on an unpainted section that's been discoloured though right?
This seems to be the case for Volks faceups, but it's generally not okay on custom faceups. The layer of sealant will start to come off and it'll look bad.

>>17044270
The discoloration is in the vinyl, not the surface. otherwise this would be a problem solvents could handle, which they don't. Also are you familiar with magic erasers? don't know where you are in the word but you may have also heard of melamine sponges. They work so well in kitchens and bathrooms because they're *abrasives*. Yes you'll eventually "fix" the color but that's because you're *sanding down* your doll.

>>17044314
think you might have meant to quote someone else. I understand they are an abraisive and that's how they work.

>>17044311
Ahh, that makes sense. Thank you.

Nothing wrong with face now right?

>>17044421
Since it's a printed faceup by Volks I'm pretty sure you've not hurt her yet; it won't visibly strip away like sealant on custom faceups does as easily, so just try not to do it again. She looks fine.

>>17044439
Okay me and my DD can sleep sound tonight. Was worried I needed to pimple cream her nose and put it under a warm light for a bit.

>>17044421
tip still looks kinda dark

>>17044452
Think that's just the lighting.

I ended up buying a wig from coolcat and it stained in a ring around my doll's head. Whats a good way to try and remove the stain without damaging the faceup and to prevent the wig from staining in the future? I already have a wig cap but as people say, they don't do anything.

>>17044464
Also any places good for wigs? I own a dollfie I really don't like a lot of the ones from Volks.

>>17044496

pimple cream is good for stains, but even with a wig cap or anything like that you're bound to get stains. it's the curse of having a dollfie dream

for wigs, did you try leeke world?

>>17044550
Stains are just your girl asking for attention because you'll be anxious to have them back.

>>17044496
I just got two wigs from Little Monica, they're really nice. I also quite like the ones I have from Lullaby Poem. And I agree that many of the wigs from Volks are pretty shit.

>>17044550
regarding LW wigs, what size fits DDs smaller heads (like 01 and 10) best? Found a post somewhere that said E, but now they apparently use some kind of different marking, pls help a retard out.

>>17044550
>leeke world
I wouldn't recommend them anymore. Their quality is extremely inconsistent. The last few orders I got only 1/4 of the wigs were actually fucking usable.

>>17044562
>>17044550
So like should I just not worry too much? Are the stains just inevitable?

>>17044667
Yeah, you shouldn't worry too much about stains from wigs. Those stains are always going to be covered anyway, unless you have the wig on wrong and it's halfway down her forehead or something.

>>17044671
Yeah that's true you're right. I'm just gonna leave her be then and not risk ruining her face. Thanks guys.

>>17041399
A lot of rural areas in Canada don't have door-to-door mail service. It's not that cost-effective... not that Canada Post isn't dumb and lazy regardless.

Even with body suits and stuff, stains can still happen. You can always just treat it if it bugs you.
Just gotta accept stains are a part of ownership and that you'll be with your girl no matter what.

>>17044833
That's true I plan to keep her forever so I guess it doesn't really matter does it?

>>17044843
I wish you the best of luck.

I entered the Volks Int Lotto and seeing people saying they won, but meanwhile I'm still waiting. Wish the lotto period didn't go all the way to the 24th, but hoping I do get my item because they haven't refunded me yet. The wait is the worst part.

Is it me, or if the torso is molded like that there's no point to having the flexible spine?

>>17046158
Did these people get actual notices or are they just saying they won because they were charged? It just feels weird to me that they don't tell everyone at the same time. Personally I think you won. There's no point in validating your card, especially not the full amount if you didn't win.

>>17046196
It's too blurred down there to tell if it's really one piece for the back torso or if it's just got the upper chest already in place. If the back of the torso really is one piece, then yes, with the hard plastic, there wouldn't really be articulation there.

Some people did say they got refunded already. Too bad I have no idea how the Volks Lotto works. Like do they divide everyone into lots for each day or is it all just one big pool? Because why are some people being refunded now?

>>17046311
News to me. I've only done concert lotteries and only saw charges when I won. How long did your card have a balance? Most people would be uncomfortable loading up a hefty charge if it meant the high possibility of not winning and paying interest if they used a credit card

If I wanted to attach the Parabox 45cm shin shells to a 40cm body, would it be better to try to sand down and shorten the shins or spend an extra 2800Y on the internal skeleton knees for the 45cm and make a ~42cm doll?

>>17044496
Speaking of wigs, if I have a doll that is supposed to have 8inch wigs, if I get a 9inch will it swamp her too badly? Should I put a couple of cotton balls to fill the space and have a wig fastener strip on or will it look silly regardless?

>>17048563
It really depends how big your girl's head is and who makes the wigs and how long the bangs are. I've had some dolls wear 9 inch wigs okay, but it really varies.
8-9 for a DD is okayish though.

Gonna guess on distribution control. I've heard of people entering multiple times using friends and family names, so for each entry they hold the amount against the account.

Hey, I'm new to this general, but what do you guys even do with your dolls? Genuinely curious. I mean, yeah, they look incredibly cute, but what else do you do? And how do your friends/relatives react when they see your dolls? I'm assuming most of your are all adult males.

>>17055355
Mine are mostly on display. I change there outfits whenever I get a new one or the mood strikes me. I will also take photos of them.

As for what people think. Most people don't really care at all.

>>17055355

Mine stand in a glass display cabinet and stare through me, constantly reminding me of my failure to support them. I'm not quite unemployed but 7 hours a week won't buy new wigs, clothing or hip joints.

I also often daydream stories containing the characters I've installed onto the dolls. The doctor calls it maladaptive daydreaming.

The dolls are essentially a method of giving corporeal form to my creations that's a bit more substantial than a Darks factsheet.

Most of my friends range from meh to meh but also with I won't go in your bedroom although with that said of them drew me fanart of my OCs which was cute. She's also the type to indulge in creating OCs so I guess she understands. I also pay people money on Tumblr to draw fanart for me because drawing is not a talent I possess.

All this stain talk made me wonder if my girl caught a cold. Can't tell if very subtle stain or just lighting. It does not show up very well on photos or certain lighting.

What's the difference in feel and look of heat-resistant fiber wigs to the normal wig fibers?

>>17062535
> heat-resistant fiber wigs
Wait what? Should I need to be worried about heat on normal wigs if I'm planning an outdoor excursion and it gets very hot where I live? Or is this for being able to use a hairdryer or something?

>>17063337
I think it's just if you're using stuff like a hair straightener, iron, curler, or blow dryer to a lesser extent, though I've heard in some places that they're more realistic, softer, and less plasticky looking, though I'm not sure if it's true.

>>17060280
Thanks! And sure, here's a photo I took a while back before I settled on a wig for her.

>>17062535
that depends on the quality of the fiber used, but HR wigs have less sheen and feel less uh flimsy I guess, like the hairs are a bit thicker and sturdier. Also easier to photograph, though if you abuse flash they'll still look bad and cheap.

Are there any good online dollfie dream online communities or is it just here? I find dollfiedreams forums not that good.

>>17058398
>>17063923
Ahhh man, please lemme know where you happened across those eyes. Exactly what I've been looking for. What size are those as well. She looks amazing.

>>17065254
Thanks. They're made by White Dolly Story and I believe they're 22mm. They're distributed by Kaleidoll who has an intl. webshop but you can also get them directly from WDS from their Taobao page but you'll then have to use a proxy assuming you're not based out of China.

>>17065389
Thanks. Just picked up three sets. The last ones I got for my girl were far too small, considering I got them from the Volks store too, I'd figure everything would've been ok... I'm excited for these though. I'm guessing that's a Mirai model as well, correct?

When are they going to announce new standard models? This is the last month for the old ones, right?

>>17065945
Maybe announced next big event, they still gotta clear out the old ones too. Really hope they're not gonna try and push Yukino and Aoi more.

Production of standards only *ended* this month. They'll still be on sale until they're gone.

>exposure to the elements at all will stain dolls
>touching them at all without gloves on will stain dolls

I was apprehensive enough about my first doll purchase before I learned this.

>>17080312
>clothes will stain dolls
Well, yeah. Not everything stains, but there'll always be something.

>wigs will stain dolls
Not in a way that matters. It's just the wig cap that stains, not the wig fibres, and they're preventable anyway. I think Chihaya's wig was sprayed with some dye or something so it did stain badly, but that's the exception. Generally, nobody's stupid enough to make a wig like that without at least giving a warning.

>exposure to the elements at all will stain dolls
The sun doesn't yellow vinyl dolls nearly as much as resin dolls, so this is pretty much a non-issue. Don't throw them in the mud I guess if that's what you mean.

>touching them at all without gloves on will stain dolls
Just don't touch their faces. You can touch their bodies no problem, because they can be cleaned without consequence.

I've owned dolls for a bit over a year and a half now, and I've yet to have any catastrophes.

>>17080312
>clothes will stain dolls
There are various ways of dealing with it from body suits, skin tape, etc. I've found color locking by washing the clothes a few times with white vinegar is enough.
And if worst comes to worst, the body part can be either cleaned or replaced. Faces are the only real issue to worry about.

>>17080312
>>17080452
>clothes will stain dolls
just don't use crazy dark colors for a long time
>wigs will stain dolls
This is why it's important to have a wig cap, but yeah they generally shouldn't stain
>touching them at all without gloves on will stain dolls
I have owned some dolls for almost 4-5 years and they haven't stained from simple touching, but yeah I'm careful with the face up area and no big deal.

>>17080312
Hey there's only so much you can do to minimize stains, just remember to have stain treatment stuff ready to care for them when it does happen. It's just part of the ownership.

I know I've been asking a lot of these, but

If I bought the Parabox 45 cm and the 40cm spine piece, then could I swap the spines and maybe cut down the lower torso to make the doll a shorter version of the 45 cm body?

I don't like the really long and skinny torso of the 45cm but the legs on the 40cm bother me.

>>17099043
I don't know what to tell you other than you're going to have to try and find out. This is a complicated mod, and I doubt anyone has tried it out with those specific pieces.

>>17099207
Ah. Would it be easier to switch out the knees and shins of a 40cm with those of a 45cm instead? Looking at the frame they should be removable.

What do you guys think of Bunny Bunny?

>>17099534
It looks like the Parabox frame pulls out the spine a the parts with the black circles to replace it in the 40 cm with two joints and the difference in shin length is due to a difference in the length of the bottom of the leg peg since the thigh shell is the same between the 40 and 45.

>>17099903
Except within the opinion itself, they were being a giant cunt, which is funny because telling someone that maybe someone else likes something and the world doesn't revolve around their shitty opinions is somehow worse. Wow it's like when you act like a faggot, someone might call you out for it. "Quit posting what I don't like/Quit making what I don't like" is the epitome of being a fucking shithead.

Just fucking talk about dolls without looking like a giant asshole next time.

Just got 3 I ordered a week ago, all 3 are great, very soft and full (the only regret I have is that "goldernrod" color doesn't look too good with SW skin). First wig for my MDD was from Miruya, it has a cute style but it's pretty sparse compared to LW.

>>17100919
i didnt mean to imply that i thought anybody's opinion was objectively shit with >>17097761

was just expressing my own opinion. sorry i upset you. i wont dwell on this because who gives a shit.

>>17100962
I guess you're way luckier than I've been. Most of my Leekeworld wigs are plagued with problems. Some are so thin that you can see the wig cap even with careful styling, some have extremely uneven cuts, and some of them are just really tight for some reason.

>>17100998
I'm not upset, I was just pointing out you were being dumb. I dont even have an opinion on the doll either way.

>>17101046
And I'm pointing out that despite looking dumb, I don't feel the way that you think I do, so I'm sorry.

>>17101012
Maybe the quality varies from style to style or one of us got old (or new and shittier) stock or something, who knows.

>>17101068
Maybe. All I know is I feel stupid for continuing to buy from them for so long. I wasted a lot of money that I could have spent on wigs from Crobi or something.

>>17101076
at least you can now freely play mad hairdresser and try to style those bad quality wigs all crazy

>>17101068
>old stock
can a wigs go bad over time?

>>17101519
No. Well, if they're stored terribly they can go mouldy, I guess.

They just mean that the old stock might have been better or worse quality.

>>17101519
I doubt it unless they got mouldy or got damaged by heat. I meant maybe there was a bad batch or they've hired new half-blind chinese kids instead of the old ones and they're inexperienced or something.

>chinese quality control

Has anyone tried swapping out or replacing the lower torso skin of the Obitsu 50 body? I'm getting a body from a friend with really bad staining around the lower back and tummy and I was hoping I could just replace the one part. It seems like it's going to be difficult to pull the skin over the hips.

I've done it on my 48cm obitsu
it's pretty simple. there's 2 screws w/ a plastic washer on each end of the pegs that connect the legs. removing that should give you enough room to stretch the lower torso over it

since your buying new lower torso, are you thinking of picking up some angel philia parts? I find the default lower torso/ thighs to skinny

>>17105121
I hadn't thought about it, but it does look kind of anorexic. I might spring for an AP one, actually.

How are printed Volks face-ups made on their limited dolls? It's not like a film with decals that they wrap around the head, is it?

>>17107248
I dunno, how do you print on an irregular surface?

>>17016865
Where do you guys get clothes for your dolls? Buy online or make it yourselves?

>>17108014
iunno, but they probably won't hand-paint thousand dolls, and the eyebrows/eyeshadow on their default faces look positively decal-like
we need to break into their headquarters and find out the truth

>>17108455
Pretty sure Obitsu basically makes stencils to paint their heads with. Volks probably does the same.

>>17108455
>won't hand-paint thousand dolls
Because there's no middleground between hand painting and full automation?

It's along the lines of what >>17108815 said:

If you've seen a GSC "manufacturing" line they hold a stencil or a guide that fits the face and they apply paint by airbrush. Pass it down the line for a different line, or color or whatever. Repeat.

>>17108815
>>17109233
I see, that's pretty cool.

>>17108112
Online. I tried making a few simple items myself, like socks/apron, with disastrous results.

>>17108112
Online, I don't have enough time to learn how to sew and make stuff.

>>17108112
Online as well, I wouldn't be able to make anything close to the quality my girls deserve.

Also, do I have to perform eye-hole surgery to get the eyes (22mm) fit better? It's like the bottom ledge of her left eye socket slightly gets in the way.

speaking of clothing, how the hell do you put something like this on? It has no visible zippers or fasteners and I'm pretty sure you can't slip the body through the collar opening too

Looks like the collar and cuffs are faux or part of the dress.
- remove head and arms
- slide dress over torso
- reattach arms by sliding through front of sleeves

It's a Mitutoyo Digimatic, as far as calipers go they're damn good. Depending on how consistent you are with your measuring pressure and what type of measurement you're going for (outside, inside, depth) you can usually trust a Mitutoyo (or Starrett, or Brown and Sharpe) caliper to around 0.001" give or take a bit. For reference, a sheet of copy paper is 0.003" to 0.004" thick. For metric, that equates to +/-0.0254 millimeters, and a sheet of paper would be around 0.089 millimeters thick. Most digital calipers are graduated to 0.0005" but repeating and trusting a measurement that precise to a caliper is stretching it.

From what I know of manufacturing plastic, resin, or vinyl parts, it is excessively rare to encounter a part that requires more precision than a caliper. Most plastic parts that are made can be made with +/-0.005" or +/-0.010" and still be perfectly fine, with that much of an error tolerance, calipers are more than sufficient.

Not exactly sure what he's using them on a doll for, but I don't know much about doll-making.

>Totally not the correct measuring tool
Because of aforementioned lack of dollmaking experience, what would be appropriate dollmaking measuring tools?

>>17113703
>- reattach arms by sliding through front of sleeves
this is always more difficult for me than it probably should be

Danny being Danny. Seems like the type to buy things not because he needs them but because they're cool. He's a rich kid after all, why make sensible purchasing decisions when money's no object?

>>17115542
Take your time, it's a doll. Getting new clothes can sometimes feel like a new game of tetris. Resin dolls have their quirks too.

>>17115959
I keep buying mine cute undies and bikinis because there isn't much cute going out clothes that catch my eye...

Might be a silly question. Now, is clothing between DD and SD compatible or not. On Nine9 trying to find a few new things, and it looks like they've done away with their DD section, but SD seems to be full of things as well as images that seem to depict DD bodies?

See, for instance here. This item as labeled as [SD13G] Smocking shoulder open blouse. And I'm fairly certain that's a Mayu there.

>>17116852
DDs should be able to fit just about anything in SD size, yes. DDdy and L bust may be too wide for some pieces, it really depends on the individual outfit/company.

>>17115030
The calipers aren't a good tool because the surface of the doll varies so much that you'd have a hard time getting consistent measurements even in the same area.

Micrometers over wires could be used to take various measurements on the doll more easily than the calipers could, just due to the shape being so variable.

The other dumb thing is that Choo has a big thing about incorporating wabi-sabi aesthetic principles into the dolls, and precision measuring tools feel pretty opposed to that, conceptually.

Just measuring threads over wires can be a little tricky, calipers would be okay if you figured out a way to take the measurements on relatively the same plane. With plastic, being off the measurement plane a little bit probably won't matter too much, you can use a few simple tools like a surface plate, squares, or 1-2-3 blocks to set up a measurement plane so you can take measurements in "slices". You could also get a contour gage, but this is all a little backwards as the dolls are, in my opinion, probably designed artistically rather than with a defined geometry to follow a functional feature.

Although Mitutoyo calipers do update/refresh pretty quickly so finding high spots/low spots in a geometry wouldn't be too bad, a dial caliper is often preferred for such contours. For something as "organic" in shape as a humanoid doll, using a 3D scanner or CMM probe would probably get you the best results, and the calipers might've been used for layout of mold materials and such.

I do agree with you that it's most likely an aesthetic picture thing to make it look technical.

>>17116852
More or less. I bought a pink hoodie from 9style that is labeled SD13 and it seems a little big.

>>17116852
SD clothes are too big for DD or smaller. SD13g is closer to DD sized.

You can also just change the site language to English.
>The box was resealed during a manufacturer quality check.In other words, the box was opened for a quality inspection and was then resealed by the manufacturer. The product is unused.

That blurb looks like a generic caveat emptor in a poor attempt to clarify vague or ambiguous language. Notice how it mentions a few conditions that don't apply, including damage from UFO catcher.
Also, Azones aren't shipped in their underwear.
Pictures show 1. an empty wig box, and 2. wig on the head.
Product has experienced far more than a manufacturer quality check.

>>17121502
>Pictures show 1. an empty wig box, and 2. wig on the head.
Are we looking at the same item? I don't see any of the pictures you mentioned. If anything, the pictures show the doll without the wig and the wig inside the wig box.

>>17121777
My bad, I looked at the other auction and probably tabbed around too fast. Still doesn't change what I said about the underwear or the generic phrasing.

This thread needs more cute doll pics.
