This is the only "old" DD on my grail list.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14302731
Well, she's not too hard to find. I've seen the same listing for her on Mandarake for over a year, and now there's a second listing that's cheaper and stained.

I like Kasumi's character a lot but I don't like her default faceup, and I'm too scared of people to commission a new one.

Do you remember how much? I don't have the ability to scroll through pages of dolls at manda at the moment.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14302839
70k and 55k yen. forgot to mention that the cheaper one only includes the body, head, and eyes. The owner also added eyelashes to it.

Just search for 社 霞.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14302857
>70k

That may be do-able in a few weeks. Thanks! I definitely want the fullset so I hope she's still around if/when I decide to bite the bullet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14302903
Like I said, I'm pretty sure that's the same listing that's been there for a year or more. Unless you're just the unluckiest person around, she'll probably still be there.

Proof Mei is not just an abuse victim. She is, additionally, a sweet and adorable imouto who looks loves her onee-chan very much and helps keep her standing up during the hair detangling and cleaning process.

Previous owner must have never combed Kanojo's hair it was an absolute mess. Nothing a bit of diluted fabric softener and a cat's flea comb couldn't fix though.

The free wig i got from leeke world is kinda ridiculous

[Anonymous No.]

>>14307877
It would look great if she had some equally ridiculous clothes befitting an ojousama.

I should be getting my Leekeworld order today, unless the mail lady decides to not bother coming to my door and just leaves a slip in the mailbox. I'm getting wigs that I backordered in September, so I'm actually not sure if I'll be getting a free one. It'll be cool if I do, but I'll only be a little disappointed if I don't.

Anybody know of a product that can be used to safely bleach/whiten doll clothes? A couple of shirts I got from mandarake are really yellowed.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14311128
if they're yellowed, and are sold white shirts, you can use something called bluing or washing blue to lighten it up. some bleaches have this.

[Anonymous No.]

Any love for the Assault Lily line here? Not much interest whenever I post them over on /toy/ but the latest addition really got me interested in them.

They seem pretty hard to find secondhand, though, especially with DoA not open for new accounts.

>>14313198

I'm interested because I want tacticool little girls, but the price seems a little high and they're a pain in the ass to get. Whenever I've looked I can't find any of the ones I'd really want.

I have some picco neemo clothes for shinkis though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14313325
>I have some picco neemo clothes for shinkis though.
That's why I looked them up initially. I was already getting a bunch of clothes so I figured i might as well get a real doll to go with them.

I'm lucky that number 5 here is one of my favorite and there are two of her up on mandarake right now so I can take my time deciding while I look for some others. I really like 7, but it looks like she's the most expensive by quite a bit whenever I see her in stock anywhere.

>>14313301
Believe it or not, i preordered her on TOM. She has free shipping and with the ten dollar coupons they give out like candy, she was only 80 bucks shipped. I've paid more than that for single Nendoroids or shinkis.

I already had my heart set on buying a Marai. But when I saw her for at mandarake for less I had to buy her there. Also I got her entire outfit there also it's messy looking because I don't want a dressed doll standing in the hotel room. She is locked in a suit case for her safety! Now I need a dumb food name and I am not sure if I want to change her eyes.

I recently had a faceup done at black-swan, they took forever to actually do it. They said it would take 12 weeks when I sent her, it ended up being over double of that. I've gotten a tracking number now at least, I hope she's worth the wait!

Tofu.

>>14318248
Denied! I don't care for that at all.

See my current three Dolls Cake,Waffles, and Cherry are all sisters and as I asembled them in Canada I kinda view them as such. Even the Witch I am working on who will be named Strawberry will also come together in Canada because that's were her head is.

But this new girl was fully assembled in Japan. I feel she is Japanese and not a Sister to the other three.

Also Strawberry will also not be a Sister because she is terrible. Image is what I have so far for Strawberry minus the head. Why are MDD body's no were to be found?!?!

Not sure why I like this so much, but your naming scheme is goddamn adorable. Good on you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14318973
His base price is $325, which includes purchasing the desired head mold which takes out $42, and EMS shipping which lets just assume is $25, which has his actual cost of the face up being about $250, which is only $150 above black swan. He also charges an extra $75 if you want an open mouth mod. I think he can charge so much because he clearly has a wealth of experience and in my opinion is the most skilled at replicating a characters design into a face up, whilst others tend to have a generic anime style face up.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14319168
No that would be Mayu.

>>14319348
Yes I did. Also got one for Tofu...?

>>14319364
Yah. I mean I really liked it when I was sleep deprived. But now I don't hate it but not super sure. I am going to go buy the mallet put her together and see how I feel before I lock it down.
I felt about the same about Cakes name too so it could stay Tofu.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14319511
Oh yeah, he's definitely fantastic at portraying characters. His price just went up today, but it looks like he's promising a higher output. You can check his facebook for details.

>>14319553
I definitely think Mirai and Candy have a little bit of extra cheek, but maybe that's just me.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14319560
I don't think you are wrong. It's just Mayu set the fat cheeks bar so high.

Oh yah my thoughts on akihabra Doll Point. First it's small. Second many dolls on display but no photos allowed. Also seeing them changed my opinion or gave me one. First MDD are not terrible. Two white skin DD are sick and terrible looking with the exception of Saber. She some how looks really good. They were sold out of normal skin extra large hands, thankfully not the semi white. Lastly I really want a long pink Doll Point wig.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14319560
I'm confused, does the new $400 price tag still include EMS shipping and a 5% pp fee or are they tacked on top of that? And jacking up the open mouth mod to $130...his work isn't worth that much.

[Main Dress] 670 USD

[Custom eyes] 60 USD

The outfit/shoes are reasonable but for I can easily buy a long twintail pink wig for ~$20 and style it myself. As for the custom eyes, its hard to tell which eyes black swan have made themselves so the quality is unknown, and there are plenty of other high quality custom eye making services at a cheaper price.

Parabox 40/45cm bodies are comparable in size to an MDD body, are readily available brand new for 20k and the process of putting a Dollfie head on an Obitsu neck is easy.

how are a silicone body's posing capabilities compared to that of an obitsu/DD/smart doll? Are they only good for being aesthetically pleasing?

[Anonymous No.]

>>14325902

Utterly hopeless at posing. They have a metal wire frame which breaks if bent too often and the arms and hands in particular don't look all that great in certain positions due to the nature of the wire frame. They really are only good for boob/stomach/thigh/leg enthusiasts.

>>14326814

I for one like the double joints. It's closer to a human joint and looks a lot more aesthetic when pushed to the limits of articulation.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14325934
As a legs and thigh enthusiast I have to say I prefer the regular DD sculpt. Those legs look amazing from almost any angle. The butt/waist does look better on a silicone body though, since it's seamless.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14327159
Sure, it gives you a nice range of motion, but he double-slot and elbow/knee cap makes it look very garish when the joint is exposed. I think it sacrifices a core part of the BJD aesthetic: that the joints look like balls.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14325934
Can't find it again, but I've seen silicone dolls shown to have actual skeletons and not wire. I think at least 1/6 Phicen are shown to be that way. But I have a hunch I've seen something similar about lovely doll.

Tokyo doll may just be wires though.

For the cheaper ones they're still years old models though, so they would have yellowed.

You can help me decide whether to get normal skin rena or semi white skin illya for kotoko, then. I was completely oblivious to the volks stock situation regarding MDD parts till I saw >>14323955. Now I'm stuck working with limiteds and frankly I'm shocked at how little MDD fullset releases there are compared to their DD/DDY/DDS counterparts. If anything prints money, its lolis.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14329820
I have a semi-white skin MDD that I think is a nice colour, but I'm sure the normal skin looks good too. I mostly take photos of my doll, so her skin colour doesn't matter too much to me.

I'm not a big fan of either rena or illya's faceup, so I'd buy the cheaper one and customize it.

CoolCat also sells MDD heads, bodies, and replacement parts. I've considered ordering from them in the past, and may have to get one of their neck skeleton parts, since my doll's neck keeps breaking when I take her head off. Look for the link in the dollfaq.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14330169
I'd be getting a custom faceup any which way. I dislike their face ups as well. Its just a matter of skin tone, I want to be as character accurate as possible. Thanks, I'll check them out.

Give it to me straight /jp/, would these designs look tacky when converted into doll form? I've wanted to create a doll based off of my oc's for so long but I've held back due to lack of funds and the fear that at the end of it I just wouldn't like the finished product and then I'd be left with a non resellable custom I'd spent thousands on.

Finally got clothes in for my doll today, I thought having her completed would finally make me able to decide on a name from my current shortlist but no such luck. How long have you taken to decide on a name between ordering a doll and its arrival? I've had this girl for a little over a year now.

Volks offers several different stands. One shitty plastic one, one with a wooden base and one with a metal base. The wooden and metal ones are pretty nice but rather heavy. The coolcat stand has an acrylic base and is nice as well and also significantly less heavy.

Do Pure Neemo hands really snap as easily as I've read? If this happens, what do? I have a body coming in for a custom doll I'm sending to a long time customer for Christmas, but I don't want them to break the hand and freak out because muh ooak broke or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14405313
That calms my nerves at least. I doubt they'd really be playing around with a custom doll. As far as I know, most of my customers kind of just consider them doll sculptures.

The reason I was concerned to begin with is because I was reading up on the XS body (the one I ordered) and found that many people had an issue with the wrists snapping when they changed the hands, even if they were taking care to not do this. This particular custom is supposed to come with a few extra hands as well, but I would hate to tell the customer "Hey, I did the nails on these hands. They're very cute and you paid extra for this, but you can't actually use them because the wrists break really easily."

I may also be freaking out as this is the most elaborate order I've ever done, and I would really like everything to be perfect since this is one of my best customers. They also requested it before Christmas, which isn't the problem as the head has been done and the body should be here any day now. The problem is that this is probably a gift, which means it'll have to be even more perfect than usual.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14405397
Did they request it be on that body, or did you make the decision? If it's the former I'm sure there won't be any hard feelings between you two even if the wrists were to break. If the latter, I guess that depends on what kind of person your customer is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14405433
They requested it. It's a Blythe/Pure Neemo hybrid, and this body looks far better than any other hybrid I've seen and phenomenally better than the godawful original Blythe body. I have no idea if they're aware of this issue already actually, so I guess I should bring that up. Duh. I think I stressed out too much and forgot to use my common sense.

I would rather not risk ordering a different body if they're not aware of this issue since I doubt it would get here on time/even if it did the shipping would be ridiculous, so does doing the manicures for free sound like a good idea? At that point, it's up to them if they're willing to risk changing the hands out, and I won't have the guilt of charging someone for a bunch of extra hands with manicures they can't use.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14405510
Sounds like a really nice gesture. I don't think you need to do it, but the customer might appreciate your concern.

Awww but here is the problem. Look at this. Looks nice and white, the light is more even looking in real life. But my strips don't have white LEDs. It had red, green, and blue LEDs. So along with white you can do any of the three colours and mix them. It's very cool.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14406701
When I have it just red or green things are cool looking. But when I just have blue on. Well things are bothersome. Half my squid girls glow orange, skylander bases light up like Christmas and my Miku figma gets all kinds of odd.

So yah I think my LED strips give off UV.

pigments don't necessarily have to be fluorescent from UV, they may also convert blue light to lower frequencies.

>>14410653
You could always try the white t-shirt test. If you put a shirt in there and it glows, you have a UV producing black light. There's also the CZ test to see if the lights are producing a lot of UV. If you have a cubic zirconia laying around, (or else you can get one for a few dollars at any department store's jewelry section), put it underneath the blue light. If it glows green/a bright florescent color, you got yourself a UV producing light. The brighter the glow, the more UV there is. There's also testers and UV strips you can get for it as well, though check reviews to make sure they actually work.

But like other anon said, the pigments in some of these might just be because of the color of light and not necessarily because of UV rays. This is more likely the case since you do have white objects in there and they aren't really reacting. Also, if you got these strips from a reputable place, you're probably safe.

[Anonymous No.]

>>14411279
Imagine something like what happens when you wear a white shirt to laser tag - it glows a bright blue because the black light gives off some amount if UV, (although small in those settings). Pic related, think like what happens to glow-in-the-dark doll eyes. That same green should happen to CZs in the presence of UV radiation. However, if the UV ink in your card didn't glow, 99% sure it's just blue light.

I've seen this mentioned before, I've not been in the hobby for that long so maybe they've done something in the past but I haven't seen Volks half-ass doll releases after I started paying attention at least.

Dolls that are going to be available via pre-order are always announced far in advance of limiteds. Limiteds released at Dollpa are already made - production is limited so they announce the dolls and hold the lottery a few weeks later.

With pre-order dolls, like Miku, Snow Miku, Rin/Len, some of the Sabers, etc. they announce them very far in advance. They're going to produce however many people will preorder, so they allow more time for more interest (hype) to be built up. With Rin and Len especially, it's SUCH a huge deal that Volks will benefit greatly from teasing them way ahead of the preorder. Keep in mind, the release will likely be 8-12 months AFTER the preorder period closes.

One of my girls has one of the multi-tone art wigs from Leeke and shopping for her is a pain because I love the wig so much that I pretty much restrict myself to clothes that look good with that wig. I own quite a few wigs, but I just don't want to take the multi-tone one off.

I had a hard time dressing her to match this one too. It's actually a cheap ebay wig- was like $8 shipped. Looks pretty cheap too. It's a knock off of the lollipop Crobidoll wig. I thought about ordering the real thing but shipping was like $30

[Anonymous No.]

>>14437864
Yeah I automatically assume that when it's time to go wig shopping I'm going to spend ~$50-60. That's why it pisses me off so much when I buy a wig and it doesn't look as pictures, is too big/small, or I just don't like it. But when I wig does look PERFECT the pain of spending so much is lessened a bit. I only tend to buy 1-3 wigs a year among all my dolls for that reason.
