I won this obitsu head a while back and I think she'd look great in a cocoa-y skintone, but the risk of winding up with an orange/grey doll is high so I've never gone for it. At times like this I wish obitsu/dd/smd had more skintone options, because unfortunately with dyeing dolls they lighten tremendously over time.

I've seen some people paint them to great effect, too, but the joints always wear away the paint after a while. There is no good universal option right now, unfortunately.

For anyone who considers getting this set, be aware that the skirt only has two straps for the hook on the back of it, one of which is way too loose with the included belt to be good for anything, and one of which is way too tight for the included belt. So I was just trying to change my doll's pose and the strap broke.
Also when I picked it up at Doll Point it said on the packaging there that it was for S / M / L busts, but on the store page here it says SS / S / M instead. That definitely makes more sense because I can barely get the shirt closed on my M bust with the bra off, and with the bra on I couldn't do it at all. The button holes have also frayed.
The jacket struggles to stay on her shoulders like in the image and barely holds a shape at all, I just took it off because it looks so bad.
Pretty disappointed with it given the price, but maybe issues like this are standard for that price range?

And I just realised I explained this totally wrong. Not the belt, the hook on the back of the skirt. The belt just goes over top of it.

it's technically okay for any of them but i personally wouldn't recommend using it on anything larger than a DDP. It's meant for MDD and DDP, and the neck well is a bit small so it can end up sitting high on the neck of a DDS, DD, or DDDy, producing a slight girraffy look.

That must be really bad since all the normal heads already have that effect since necks are too long in general.

As for the doll in the thread, I would like to talk about a wide variety of pure Japanese dolls. Not just Dollfie Dreams. Licca, Obitsu, Dollfies Dreams, Azone, and others. Maybe even Pullips and Co even though they are Korean.

The Smart Doll Gaia set will be a perfect base. She'd only need a change of eyes for blue ones.

However, the clothes are a problem. I'll have to commission most of them or mod them myself. But even the basic clothes like a fucking white tank-top are impossible to find.

You can get most of that from TTYA, seriously, 90 percent of that clothing set could be found on Etsy. Just search around.
If you're dead set on a custom job though, just message most of the people on there who sell their own clothes that you see good work from. A lot of them take commissions, though they don't advertise it, and even more of them will make a special version of something they normally make if you want it in certain colors. I don't know anybody who does full custom outfits just by themselves anymore though.

>> No.22286325

Yes, that's them. Here's some other Etsy shops to look at:
Dollsnshop has a lot of stuff and it's all great quality
Tobiasmalfoy makes HIGH END stuff for Smartdolls, well crafted with prices to reflect that.
AmyJuneDesigns sells fun skirts and shirts for smartdoll, and is open to custom makes if you have a particular pattern in mind
DollsVogue sells nice shoes as does MoriTime (both are dealers of other brands)

Outside of Etsy, you can check these sites too:

eluts.com has great shoes, and have sales pretty often, just keep an eye out
nine9style.com has wonderful clothes, for smartdoll just look at the sd13/dd category, they should all fit OK, but be aware of breast sizes.
dolldelights.com can't make up it's mind between slutty and cutesy, but they're good quality items none the less.

Good luck!

One last question. Is there a special term for the type of vest Hilda is wearing? Or I could just find a similar vest and cut off the sleeves.

>> No.22286424

>>22286357

Might count as a halter vest, but I don't know for sure, it's definitely not a waistcoat. That's probably going to be the hardest part to find "off the rack" in that exact style. It's also the easiest piece to sew yourself if you're just interested/inclined, it's just finishing edges and attaching three panels. But, I've seen vests around plenty in the past.

BTW, if you're not finding what you want searching for 'Smart doll" clothes; SD13 and DD(L) clothes should fit no problem on a M bust smart doll, but just make sure to check measurements before you buy.

The Smart Doll I plan to get will only have the small default bust. No cow tits here. So the compatibility for tops should not be an issue.

I found the socks, the jeans hot pants (easily modifiable) and the white tank top at nine9style for 50$US shipped! Even though I can only afford the doll in a few months, I got those 3 pieces right now because I don't trust things remaining in stock.

Now all I have to do is order the right boots (paint the sole, change the laces), and commission the hat, vest, and the handbag from an Etsy mom.

$300 isn't a lot for that size doll, and the ones in your picture are going to be closer to the 5-600 range. That said, there are going to be dolls available to you, but they won't come with clothes, wigs, face-ups or eyes and they're not going to be vinyl, they're going to be resin. Keep an eye on sites like Alice Collections (Acbjd.com) they have sales on dolls all the time, and can easily come down into that range from some makers. Face-ups are usually one of the hardest things to get done, but if you're artistic at all it can be quite fun once you get the hang of it. But most of the ones that are going to be sold have the option to include a pre-done face up for an additional 50 bucks or so.
If you do want a vinyl doll, there's always the second hand market. Finding a complete doll on the second hand market is going to be pricey, as most of the ones that show up are licensed characters. Those still go for thousands of dollars. But you can find gently used bodies for around $200, and heads with predone faces for around $100-200 on sites like mandarake.co.jp they ship internationally directly so you don't need a forwarding service.

for clothes see the post I made up here: >>22286325

You can also find used things on sites like mandarake and dollyteria.com (that site is really bad, but has some really cheap finds on used clothes)

When you need a wig, read this blog http://www.jadepixeldoll.com/where-to-buy-dollfie-dream-smartdoll-wigs/ She breaks most of the major ones down and gives a lot of tips.

Be realist, man. If you REALLY love dolls at that 1/3 60cm scale, JUST GET ONE doll a year. Because with clothes and shipping, a doll will come at around 800$ to 1500$. You will go for quality over quantity.

Just take your time to chose the girl that is right for you. Then, once you have chosen her go for it! You could always buy more clothes sets and even wigs so that your girl can change style.

You'll have to lurk a lot before committing. Take note that your expensive vinyl doll WILL end up covered in dye stains that are almost impossible to remove if you dress her carelessly.

For your first doll, chosing a harder material that is harder to stain may be the right choice. Like for a Smart Doll cortex type. Sure, you get seam lines, but it will be more user friendly.

Do you think it's better to dye or spraypaint dolls if you want a fantasy/not-offered skintone? Dyeing is some alchemist-level bullshit, but painting will eventually rub off... I wish Volks/Obitsu had more skintone options that were available to people online.

Oh he's so much worse than Volks now. Not only is he doing limited dolls (I kind of understand with licensed ones since you can only sell so many per license, but you know) he's also set up a "garage sale" page that literally sells off one-off dolls, rejected prototypes (almost all of them cocoa,) and also useless shit like 200 dollar "crystal oppai" to anyone who will buy them. He doesn't say when these things are listed and there's only one of basically all of them, so you just have to be there at the right time and have 800 dollars to drop right then and there to get one.

The fact that I can't buy a blank head or replace broken/stained parts is one of the things that prevented me from buying a SmartDoll, and buying a DDS instead.

One of his early missions for starting his own doll line that Danny wanted to do with "SmartDoll" was to make them semi-robotic and a smart device. That's why a lot of early accessories for his dolls were based around USB connectivity and the like. He's slowly back peddled on most of his original intent with the dolls, but he still posts about how he's going to robotics fairs and the like every now and then on social media and still tags images of Mirai with the username mirairobotics.

One of the reasons he rolled out SmartDoll+ was to make the dolls bigger to accommodate internal mechanics for this idea he still kinda has but only kinda talks about now.

That's an awesome dream! And I support the idea 100%. But to smear him as "incompetent" because he cannot succeed such an ambitious project RIGHT NOW is petty.

If the guy would have made a kickstarter with those promises then ran away with the money, only then would he deserve the hate. But right now, he's building his company bit by bit and things come along slowly. And as far as I know, no one lost money because those projects. So everything is fine.

Speaking of bigger dolls, those Smart Dolls Plus may be one more baby step toward the robot-girls. I wonder how much they would cost? … 390K yen... Holy shit. No wonder, they are made by hand one at a time.

I was going to buy a head off yahoo, but is it fine getting wigs/outfits/etc there as well or are there better options? The price will add up if I keep buying from different sellers.

Does anyone have example pictures of mismatched skin colors? I already bought a bust (normal), but pic related is semi white. Not sure if I should take the hit, or wait for a nice normal head. I'd rather have a head I love with a slight mismatch, then one I'm okay with that matches better. I probably wouldn't even notice the difference if I put on a scarf or something.

I don’t have a picture offhand but the difference in color is between the two is pretty noticeable. Wouldn’t recommend mixing them. I’d just get another bust if you like the head, some of the artists seem to heavily favor semi white and you might be waiting a long time for another one that looks similar in normal.

Hi everybody, brand new to dolls here, not even sure if you could say that. I'm looking to get my first in the next few months (pic related) and was hoping to get a wig for her off Leekeworld, but I dont know what size she would be? Would you guys be able to help me out? /toy/ recommended I come here to ask
Also looking for general advice on maintenance or anything that a total casual might not be aware of. Thanks!

Do you plan to make a custom character? If you are looking to get a Dollfie Dream Sister, you'll have to get clothes that are Dollfie Dream Sister compatible.

I do, I'd like to make her sort of gothic or maybe outdoorsy, it depends on what I can find I suppose
I see on the Volks site that there are clothes that fit DDS, which I'm pretty sure is Dollfie Dream Sister right? Where else do I find clothes in her size? The only place I've been shown is Leekeworld and I only see shoes in there for clothes
And for that matter, will DD shoes fit her or does she need her own size for those too?

DD and DDS clothes are 99% interchangeable, though don't get MDD (too small) or DDP (made for the S bust) clothes.

My favorite stores for clothing are Purple Dream, Dollheart and CheeryDoll. I also pick up the occasional outfit from YJA but you have to be there at the right time for those. Volks also makes some nice sets but I feel a lot of their DD stuff is kinda samey these days.

Places to get clothes?

You can always search at Etsy, but their search engine suck. However, with perseverance, you may fin some neat stuff at a fair price:
https://www.etsy.com

To find dolls, clothes, and a shit tons of nerdy things, go to Mandarake. It's a group of multiples shops and mishaps are very rare. Note that EVERYTHING is "package damaged" to filter out the annoying MISB autists:
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/?lang=en

As for other shops, you could always search for Super Dolfie clothes, but you must be sure of the sizes.

>> No.22339704

>>22339576
Seriously, it should be illegal not to be able to filter them given how many are sold out

>>22339651
Etsy did seem really good for some stuff but I also like some from other stores, I found ACBJD which had some great boots that I might take a chance on sizing for
What's MISB? I'm assuming people that ree at the idea of less than mint in box but I'm curious what the acronym is

Also, if I find clothes or sets I like now should I order them? I can't afford the doll yet but the clothes are way cheaper and it seems like they sell out a lot. Do they ever come back in stock?

How to order at Mandarake? Register, then buy. Note that combining shipping is only for each individual store. You will only have a shipping notice AFTER you buy things from all the stores except SAHRA who tell the shipping cost right away.

>> No.22340896

How much will early bidding drive up the final cost? I don't want to get fucked over by a random early auction ending, and I also want to get a feel for how much these other guys are willing to spend. The seller's heads can sell from 100 to 500, with no noticeable difference in quality.

Guy just has an outdated product info "blog" with no contact other than the twitter. How do private sales go in Japan? Do they use paypal or something similar? I figure only big businesses will take my international credit card.

I want to try contacting him with my broken jap, but he has public DMs blocked and requests all inquiries be done through DM. Do I just tell him I want to make an inquiry through a public tweet? I saw some other baka gaijin try this and he brushed them off telling them to use a proxy for his yahoo auctions which are just the leftovers and cost ~50% more.

It's that Monaca Doll Parts guy. Someone else with them had posted here before.
