Resolutions: actually becoming apart of the doll hobby instead of letting my girl sit on the shelf

>>18133618
Me too. I'm planning on sewing, maybe some woodworking, and taking pictures to post here and on twitter.

I have a weird question but not sure where to ask since I’m not finding the info on Google. Is there a site or forwarding service that I can order a Dollybird, Dolly Japan, or other doll magazine subscription from, and have it sent to me in US? Would prefer DB over others. I can find places offering a list of mags but never doll ones, and my local import place is hit or miss with having the newest ones.

>>18137514
You can just subscribe to a Magazine and have them ship to any mail redirection service like Tenso, FromJapan and so forth. Then just do the redirect whenever a new issue arrives. This is no different that receiving parcels. The only hurdle is going to be payment if you are unable to subscribe to the said magazine without using a Japanese credit card (but that's another issue and it can be solved too).

>>18131613
anon-chan, the /toy/ guide has been deleted in case you didn't know.

>>18133618
>>18134325
I'm joining you guys in this. I take a photo or two every 4-6 weeks for Instagram, but it's never anything interesting. I want to really get in the hobby and actually focus on it. This is going to be the first year ever where I have neither school nor work stress. I'm in a good job that really likes me, and they said they'd love to have me around for the next 4-5 years at least. I can't use muh stress as an excuse anymore. I have to make things, even if I suck. Let's have a great year and treat our dolls right, anons!

Stand arrived today. I think I need to get a stand for my goth doll too, she's been a bit neglected lately while my Candy doll has gotten all the attention.

>>18140344
Ganbare, anon. I just hope I don't lose my motivation before I start. I haven't really done any sewing yet because I still need to buy an iron, and all my money is tied up right now.

>>18133618
My New Years resolution is to not spend any money on my girls for a bit. There is stuff I need to do and I should save up more money!

What star do I have to wish upon to hope that Volks releases some original characters from a couple years ago? The after market is rape and I wish I got into this years ago like I wanted.

>>18141748
You mean a rerelease? There's apparently going to be a vote for a best of the best vote event at some point this year like we had a few years ago when Melty and Sasara were rereleased, this time celebrating the 20th anniversary of Dollfies.

What does everyone think of the new Dollfie models that were released? I actually purchased an outfit for Toromi today so that's starting the year off good huh?

>>18142622
You mean their new standard models? I think they look fantastic. It's really cool how they all have their own head sculpts. I would seriously consider getting Towa if I had any interest in titty monsters, but I just really don't want a Dynamite. I like Karin's faceup a lot except for her bright orange eyebrows, and Liliru is pretty cute too. When I'm ready to get an MDD, I'll think about getting her if I want to be cheap.

>Toromi
It's been so long since you've posted her!

>>18143160
Yeah, Liliru and Karin are great. But haha, Yeah I've been terribly busy with work and a car tuning hobby for the past few months so that's where most of my time has been spent. Whenever I get her new outfit in ill be sure to post some pictures of her.

>>18143245
Nice. I've just been busy being sad, but the new year is already being good to me. I'm feeling like I might actually go through with all the things I want to do in this hobby.

How easy would it be to recolour Karin's eyebrows? She's basically perfect for the doll I want to make.

>>18144853
Personally I would send her to someone to do it. The most I have done is add a little to one of my dolls mouths to give her a soft smile from her default neutral look. I definitely could not try more years of painting Warhammer have shown me I am not skilled in that.

Also there is removel of the old eye brows or even if you just paint over them then you still need to seal them. Just thinking about it is so stressful.

>>18146015

flat and weird sculpts

>>18146049

i think they're slowly improving

New year's resolution: organize my doll stuff

>>18146996
Is she supposed to look fucking wrecked? Because she does that party looks like it went on too long. That said I also like the image.

>>18143160
Her eyebrows are actually brown... Dunno where you're getting "orange" from.

>>18148017
>Dunno where you're getting "orange" from.
The pictures on Volks' website. I guess I'm glad they're unrepresentative.

>>18148017
Holy fuck I hated how she looked looked and this looks way better. I think the images in the site are too bright.

>>18148017
She is so pretty, can you post moer?

Do any of you have a smart doll? I like the idea of having a (talking?) moving doll to interact with but then I remember Dolly Dearest.

>>18148476
It doesn't talk or move. It's just a doll. Please ignore all of Choo's lies.

Man, my DD is wearing heels but Obitsus seem shorter than I expected somehow. It's so cute.

Sorry for the garbage quality picture again. I don't really know how to use my phone's camera very well.

>>18148954
I'm really impressed by how smoothly and solidly the body poses, but is the back of her neck supposed to look like this?

>>18148476
It's just a doll, it doesn't do shit. I think you can like shove a battery inside the torso cavity to charge your phone out of it? Basically you can turn the doll into a big battery case if that's your thing, and that's about it.

>>18148954
Oh, you've already got Hell girl. Congratulations! Mine is on her way still...

>>18149210
Mine has crooked bangs so I'm a bit unhappy. I have big shaky hands so trimming wigs is a nightmare for me. I don't want to ruin the wig she came with, or scratch her face or something if I'm extra stupid.

She's still a super cutie patootie, though. I'm going through a bunch of clothes trying to find the cutest combination for her.

I think all of my clothes might be too cute for a jigoku shoujo.

>>18149298
I was wondering how spooky she would be. But at your photos she is really cute.

>>18149594
After seeing a few really bad owners' pics I was kind of worried for a bit. I'm not great either, but in person she looks perfect. I love her.

>>18149579
>you will suffer for this transgression

>>18149894
For putting her in those clothes? Or for forgetting to put her hands back on before taking a picture?

>>18149912
I thought it was a cute sleeves too long thing. But you forgot her hands. Tisk tisk. You had best "Forget" her hands again tonight or you may face your adorable doom!

>>18150241
I had just been playing with her for like 5 hours while on 3 hours of sleep so I guess I was feeling forgetful. I need to go to bed soon.

Please don't set me on fire, Ai-chan.

>>18147076
Yup that was the goal, was going for that bleary feel day after a party.

>>18148954

oh wow, she looks way better in person than on the website. congrats anon

>>18148954
>>18150553
Can you still buy her?

>>18152578
You'd probably have to check every store to see if there are any leftover from cancellations/missed payments.

>>18152578
The two shops that ship overseas are sold out. Time to start searching the extended market

>>18152578

she might show up on mandarake in a few weeks.

I found a shop that sells super nice outfits!
If anyone is interested:
https://shop103328926.taobao.com/shop/view_shop.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.12.2822e370ai9yzH&user_number_id=1644841972

>>18150346
She looks ready for more now!

>>18153720
Does anyone know what doll is this?

>>18153720
>I found
M+V Studio are well known. You can find their outfits in many doll cloth shops in Japan and they are present at events too. (Obviously it's more expensive when you buy directly there than when you buy on Taobao, just like for everything.)

>>18156014
MDD with DDH-10 head

>>18156014
It is a adorable one.

Holy fuck guys this thing is going to have freckles! I mean I though she was cute when I saw her in passing in thumbnails. I don't see how I can avoid buying her.

>>18079517
Hey are you the anon who took his doll on the trip to JP a year or so ago?

>>18156647
She looks a little froggy to me but I do like freckles. Not a SmD fan by any means, but the faceups are improving.

>>18156647
Where can I buy this?

>>18158131

i don't think she's been released yet

>>18156647
Don't forget to wait for pictures of the side of her face.

>>18158370
At this point it might as well be the free space on Smartdoll Bingo

>>18148455
Here you go.

>>18159143
I put her in my Nanami’s wig just to see how she looks.. I guess it’s cute. I need to get her different hands though.

>>18159204
She looks a lot better in a darker red wig. I wonder why they decided on bright yellow/orange one.

>>18159242
That's because the Nanami wig is magic. I also own one and everyone I put it on looks great. It's just one girl looks the most great so she owns it now.

I have attempted to stick Cookie in a different outfit. I basically went as far opposite of her normal witch outfit as possible. I think she looks cute but approval is low.

>>18161569
Please let me see her panties ;_;

>>18157560
Yes

>>18161722

pervert

How well-received are the Iris Collects anyway?

She's gergous but I'm having second thoughts about that J-cup. It's look nice with default clothes but anything else probably will look weird.

>>18162351
Well, can you post a picture with her witch outfit?

>>18168122
Maybe I am still trying to formulate a response. ie should I ignore, post a joke something else. I didn't call you a pervert though but it is accurate.

>>18167779
Depends on the clothes you dress her with. Mahiro's another one with those big cups.

>>18168157
Not a pervert, just a guy who loves used pantsus~

>>18168183
So you're a pervert. There's probably another thread somewhere that's more appropriate for you.

>>18168183
>>18168230
I think it's fine that he is here. Just not everyone will give him what he wants.

Ignoring the skill part, only speaking of materials etc, how hard and expensive would it be to make a doll yourself? Of the same quality of the dolls posted in these threads of course.

I think I'd eventually want to get a doll, but I would want a custom one, but I don't fully trust them to create a doll that would 100% live up to my expectations.
I'm absolutely not talking shit about their skills far from it, the problem lies in me wanting the perfect doll, but let's leave it at that and focus on the initial question.

>>18167779

if you really loved her you'd buy her despite her tiddy size anon

>>18168588

i mean, can do you faceups? can you sew clothes? if you can't you would have to learn or find someone else to do it, which could be expensive. you could probably buy a lot of faceup related stuff fairly cheaply i suppose

>>18168588
You mean make from scratch? Assuming you don't want to cast it in resin/vinyl and only want a head, it would as expensive as a brick of ladoll or mr. clay or whatever hot new shit doll makers use nowadays.

>>18168588
Don't think to hard. But don't think too little. I have learned "perfect" takes many forms.

I over thought Cake and well she is my favourite.

Waffles was a impulse buy that I was going to sell but fell in love.
Cherry was also over thought as was a disaster, but a new head fixed her up. That head went on to become Cookie.

Tofu was bought in Japan. Had many wig and outfits but I feel I have nailed her look. unsurprisingly she is very Japanese looking.

Strawberry was to be a witch becuse I love that outfit, but I said I would never buy a MDD!?! After she lost the witch outfit, It took over a year but I feel I have nailed her look finally.

Maple is a smart doll becuse it's the only place to get darker skinned girls. She got a lot of cakes old clothes becuse she looks better in them.

Cookie is the old cherry head combined with the witch outfit and a Obitsu body to make a girl that is always un happy.

Snow Miku was a mistake. I am sorry Miku you deserve better then my closet!

And then there is Pumpkin, I fucking love pumpkin.

And soon there will be a new food girl becuse I have wanted a freckled girl forever and I can't say no to that fucking smartdoll.

So the "perfect" doll can come in a number of ways and yah you can make mistakes that's why the most important peace of advice I can give is take your time and think things over. Just don't over think find that balance!

>>18168588
Also I should add. You can't make your perfect doll.
You could take a head you like wig you like combine it with a body you like and put and outfit on it, and that would be creating in away that is what Cake, Cherry, Strawberry, Cookie, and Pumpkin are.

But if you mean get the parts and make the doll including casting, faceup, joints, sewing clothes. No you can't do that. Not on your first try, I know you lack these skills becuse you have no Idea how hard it will be or how much it will cost.

So the answer could truly be, very hard and it would cost a lot. Becuse you would have to make many dolls and learn many skills. Plus you would need to buy many of the tools and items to make it. Yes eventually with enough time and money you could learn the skills and make that perfect doll, but she is probably just waiting for you to find her made by somebody else.

>>18168588
>I don't fully trust them to create a doll that would 100% live up to my expectations

>>18167779
>>18168685
I would call those boobs a bonus.

Otherwise get the younger sister?

"Can you help rub sunblock on me, please?"

>>18168230
Sure seems like I'm not the only one here>>18171838
>>18168478
Please just let me see her warm pantsus ;_;

Hey Doll thread (is there a shorter collective name for this general?). How universal are wig caps? Eg, will a Volks large head cap fit an Azone AZO2 head? Since Volks has a store in the city it would be easy to just pick one up versus ordering online.

>>18173703
I'd test to see if it works well enough for you, but Ai's wig is so ridiculously tight and difficult to get on straight and I don't want to go through that again. It's pretty likely to be way too big, though. Azone heads are quite a bit smaller than DDs.

>>18168694
The plan would be to do everything myself.
I can already do 3D model and have anatomy/drawing skills. I don't know anything about sewing but I don't mind learning, that could be fun.

>>18168758
Yes everything from scratch.
That's true I could only make the head and buy an already made body though, but if I'm already doing as much effort why not make everything as well. I could simply get inspiration from a real doll.

>>18168820
>>18168866
>perfect
I knew I should've expanded on what I meant here. I meant "perfect to me", and it already exists (my longtime OC). All that's left is to make it into a doll.
Thanks for your insight, I believe "perfect" is very subjective from one to another and I probably should've worded things differently to avoid misunderstandings and explain what I meant better.

>But if you mean get the parts and make the doll including casting, faceup, joints, sewing clothes. No you can't do that. Not on your first try, I know you lack these skills becuse you have no Idea how hard it will be or how much it will cost.
You're most likely right here.
>So the answer could truly be, very hard and it would cost a lot. Becuse you would have to make many dolls and learn many skills. Plus you would need to buy many of the tools and items to make it.
I think I got my answer, that would indeed end up being much more expensive than ordering a custom made one. Thanks.
>Yes eventually with enough time and money you could learn the skills and make that perfect doll, but she is probably just waiting for you to find her made by somebody else.
The will to make it myself is stronger though, so I think I'd be ready the spend years learning and working on it rather than taking the shortcut.

>>18173804
I wonder if Volks medium size would be too small then since it's made for MSDs. Might end up having to make my own. How necessary are caps?

>>18174005
Not to stomp your dream or anything, but it's just not practical to try and build a doll entirely from the ground up when there's enough variety on the market to probably shell the body at the very least. If you research enough, you might find the perfect body, or one that you could modify to look the way you want. The same goes for heads, you can by one SIMILAR to your vision and carve away or mod it until it does fit your requirements.

What I'm trying to say is that you might not want to model and cast an entirely new doll because it's possibly to HEAVILY modify existing bodies. Look into resin bodies made by different companies to see if something similar to your ideal exists, and then look and see if you could sand down parts of it to fit the character better. Check out heads from different places and see if sanding or additive mods would be a good idea. In the long run it's cheaper and you're probably looking at more professional quality.

>>18174101
*Look into resin bodies if the existing vinyls don't do it for you

>>18173344
I stop visiting /jp/'s doll thread a few months ago because people got all prude-y like most doll communities and the thread activity dropped harder like a rock.

- schlub.

birb

>>18174050
They aren't entirely necessary, and are mostly just there for peace of mind. Nude coloured wig caps won't stain, and while black wig caps will, you'll never see them unless your doll is wigless. Or you had the wig sitting halfway down the doll's forehead for some reason.

>>18174050
>How necessary are caps?
Caps are a meme. One of the million parroted pieces of advice whenever someone starts this hobby. No surprise, the clueless wonders with a million questions bail so fast after their first doll.

>>18174356
Stop bullying me ;_;

>>18174561
I'm not.
Also damn I sorta want an MDD...

>>18174842
Take it from someone who wasn't going to buy one but did.

There totes adorbs!

>>18174842
Me too. I want my most mature looking girl to be in an age gap relationship.

>>18176744
Cockie's cute pantsus~

>>18177139
God damnit that's cute.

>>18152578
Looks like AmiAmi got another case (they're 3 floors down from Azone lol) or someone bailed. she's available for purchase again

http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIGURE-032767

>>18177139
I uh should tell you her pantsu don't look like that. And well that is clearly a Dollfie dream body and Cookie is an Obitsu 50 body. It's a DD head yes but not her body.

Im legitimately crying

>>18180112
There's a used fullset Ranka on Manda for like 40$ more with some staining if you're looking for her if that makes you feel better

>>18180141
Link?

>>18180228
https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1070155189&ref=dos

It's 45,000 yen with minor staining and missing one of her wigs.

>>18167779
I'm on the verge of buying her as well, the boobs fitting into other things is a concern, but one I think I'm almost happy to deal with. I see pictures of dolls in tactical gear all the time, and I've wanted to do that, but I'm not sure I could fit a plate carrier over those boobs.

>>18180267
Nuuu that looks like hotglue stain

>>18180342
If I'm not mistaken the tactical gear are mostly custom made, no? And guns is another issue since you do not have a lot of options.

>>18182310
>guns is another issue since you do not have a lot of options

It's possible to simply buy a real one and photoshop it in.

>>18182310
If 1/6 scale items would work with them, I could buy them easily.
http://www.v-storebiz.com/mini-times-m006-six-seal-team-6-halo-jumper-p226-pistol-holster/
Loose bits from similarly sized army dolls, unless 1/6 is too small.
I guess that's a good question, what scale IS a 50cm doll?

>>18184076
Looked for the answer myself, seems like it's 1/3rd scale? That makes things more expensive but there's still plenty of guns out there. If there's guns, there has to be gear to dress her up in, too. Or I can custom make them if it comes down to it.

>>18180755
I don't think the lighter part is a jizzstain, I thought that didn't stain anyway (don't have a dick to try it with but I've read that it doesn't somewhere), it looks like some sort of bleaching agent went too far.

>>18184076
>>18184158
>>18184076
1/6 is actually closer to Pure Neemo territory (they're more or less in the same height range). Good luck getting the hands to grip the weaponry though.

I've actually bought from that site before, they're local. People do make a business of buying tactical guys and part them out like what happened to dolls.

Pictured was my attempt at getting a Pure Neemo hand to hold a 1/6 P226.

>I guess that's a good question, what scale IS a 50cm doll?
1/3 actually. Funny thing is Dollfies would scale up to roughly 180cm tall, while Azone 48s/50s (plus 2cm from their heads) would hit 150cm to 156cm tall, which is close to the average height of a Japanese girl.

>there's still plenty of guns out there
Good luck finding a Dragon 1/3 Glock 17, you might need to import it from some shop in Europe that doesn't even have a functioning site. I was lucky to score a couple of guns from the "Combat Gun File The Beretta" set, which you can see in >>18168170

Long arms are on a weirder situation, since you're mostly restricted to M16/M4 variants and AKs for most part. Bought a set of the Trumpeter guns, they need some amount of work to look decent.

I wonder if having joined fingers would actually be beneficial in this situation.

>>18186025
Thank you for all the information, this is very helpful.
>Pictured was my attempt at getting a Pure Neemo hand to hold a 1/6 P226.
Yikes, I wish I could speak runes to learn how some of the dudes in Japan do it.
>1/3 actually
Yeah, I've been unable to actually find vests or rigs to put on them in that scale.
>since you're mostly restricted to
Kinda. I've found some others like this, for example.
http://www.crw-airsoft.com/13-scale-mp5-full-metal-5294-p.asp
>I wonder if having joined fingers would actually be beneficial in this situation.
Probably, I'm not sure that hand was designed with guns in mind.

>>18186025
>I wonder if having joined fingers would actually be beneficial in this situation.
From what I've seen, they absolutely are. I'm so jealous.

>>18186071
>Yeah, I've been unable to actually find vests or rigs to put on them in that scale.
They're all custom made by dollfags, so you can only really buy them at events in Japan.

>http://www.crw-airsoft.com/13-scale-mp5-full-metal-5294-p.asp
Those die-cast guns usually aren't great for dolls because they're too heavy for DDs to keep them held up. There's an AK-74 out there that's just light enough, though.

I'm really looking forward to making my own tactical gear soon. I even have a folder full of images of others' work to use as reference/steal. Just need to buy an iron and then learn how to sew a few normal things first.

My parents got me this for Christmas. my resolution is to make lots of clothes for her

she takes a good picture

>>18186234
>so you can only really buy them at events in Japan.
Just like all the best stuff, it seems.
>Those die-cast guns usually aren't great for dolls because they're too heavy for DDs to keep them held up.
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
>I even have a folder full of images of others' work to use as reference/steal.
Could you share some? What material do you plan to use? They seem to use stuff that at least looks like it's real ripstop and such.
Alternatively, if you get any good at it, sell it to me.

>>18186259
Do you want me to just upload everything? I've trawled through a few people's twitters to get a bunch of stuff.

It seems like yeah, they use real nylon webbing and all that stuff, and I've read at least once that somebody cannibalised a binder to get material. Seems like a good idea.

>Alternatively, if you get any good at it, sell it to me.
Unless you live in Canada, shipping would be nightmarishly expensive. Also I probably won't ever get good even if I get around to doing it like I plan. Though I do think I'll actually do it, since I've been so motivated lately.

Yeah, an imgur album or something would be very handy, I'd appreciate it immensely.

I really admire their skill, they're very good at what they do.

>Unless you live in Canada
Nope, country down below ye.
>Though I do think I'll actually do it, since I've been so motivated lately.
Do it, pursuing new hobbies is great and rewarding, use the motivation while you still have it.

>>18186332
I uploaded it to mega for you because I don't feel like learning imgur. Sorry for the delay, I was talking to my mother.
https://mega.nz/#!eVVCTSBA!-mMVVhe9sTRz5jtlzSqAalQrIUOo2xfRy7kVP-uRttg

>use the motivation while you still have it.
I've been really trying to. I found so much motivation from meeting a new friend that I feel like I'm a different person. I've been keeping my shit in order and I'm even not dreading going to work anymore because I think happy thoughts there now.

>>18186428
I hope mom's alright!
Thank you!

Hah, congrats on the new friend, that's a really great turn around.

>>18186448
Mom's fine, I was just keeping her company while she did stuff in the kitchen!

And thanks. I still can't believe I managed to find a friend on 4chan of all places, and that they could be the best friend I've ever had even though we've only known each other for a week. I should probably stop blogging now though.

>>18186234
>>18186259
Just get the Trumpeter M16s/M4s. They come in either kit form or assembled form.

They even have M203s if that's your jam.

>>18186544
Where's the best place to buy them? Ebay seems expensive as hell, and the hobby stores I know about seem to all be sold out.

>>18186470
That's nice of you, hah.

Only makes sense you'd find a likeminded person in a place you spend much of your time. I don't mind it but I'm only one person among the entire thread.
>>18186544
Who doesn't want M203 jam in their life?

>>18186544
I bought few of them from Hobby Easy (based in Hong Kong). M16A2 with M203 here: http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/xo1hpn2sjmsxrhyxxcqi.html

Meanwhile I snagged these off some store via Japanese proxy.

>>18186568
It's just not like we met in some gaming group on /vg/ or anything else that would lead to actually talking to people. We were just sad blogging in a random thread on /u/. I never thought she'd want to talk, or that we'd actually connect so well. It feels like a dream.

>>18186642
The best way to make friends is just to get out there, even if it's posting on /u/. Good taste, too. :^)

Is anyone here looking for a boyfriend?

>>18186991
Is that cutie in your picture the one asking?

>>18187002
Kyaaaa no.

>>18186991
I mean I'm just here for dolls but yeah.

>>18186991
No because that's probably not going to happen.

Trying to pick a logo for a new shirt. But i don't know what one to pick. The smaller size of a doll can fuck up how something looks at times.

>>18187380
I'd probably go with the middle one.

Where can I buy a cute brown loli?

>>18187380
For the reasons you stated, the line art of the console might be an issue. I'd especially be worried about the yellow. How about just the buttons?

>>18188195
But I wouldn't want that shirt.

>>18188873
Are you making these shirts at home or sourcing it elsewhere? If it's the latter do they have samples that give you an idea how certain types of designs will scale?

>>18187380
If you want I could vector these for you and scale them to whatever size you want. but I guess this would only help if you were making the shirt yourself

Has anyone tried fitting a Dollfie head on one of those Smart Doll bodies? I really like the one with the USB ports, was thinking about making my own little android doll.

>>18174976
I was the same. Telling myself "I'm not going to buy an MDD, don't want to invest in different size of cloths/shoes etc." Ended up buying one, now I want more. Send help.

>>18189067
My brother has a shirt sublimation set up.

>>18189473
Thanks but I have clean high resolution png files already. I just made that for people to see the options I am trying to pick between. I also have the psd file so I can still move elements still.

>>18190477
I definitely don't want a second one but she needs clothes. Plus a lot of the skirts, dresses, and short sleeved tops are compatible with my Obitsu 50 girls. Like this is a Volks MDD outfit.

>>18188029
Get lucky on auctions, get lucky on another second hand website, go to Japan and get lucky with D'Coord or go through Dream Choice

>>18161846
Sweet! I was the anon that asked about where you got that cushioned bag thing back then. I couldn't find it at the time, but I remembered it again recently and looked into it, managed to snag 2 from their amazon.jp storefront for christmas! Thanks again for sharing those pictures and the maker!

Took a few quick pictures of Toromi in her new outfit. Cant seem to find a pose I really like for her today.

>>18192300
You're welcome! They're seriously awesome. they are to dolls what slipcases are for laptops and imo are better than dedicated bags. Glad you managed to get a couple!

>>18192376
I like that pose with the text. It feels very I give up just take the photo and move on.

>>18192376
Where did you buy that wig?

>>18193023
Volks USA. If I'm not mistaken, the code is W-107D-M613/100. Pale ivory bob.

>>18192543
The shot i did earlier was more or less a new outfit try out. Maybe ill get some new pictures with her in it soon.

>>18193077
Thank you honey~

What doll is this?

>>18210594
Looks like a Smart Doll Kizuna. The legs and the flat looking face tip me off. Also DDs can’t really pose like that since their internal frame is not as flexible, and their vinyl is harder.

>>18210810
Uhh, she's clearly a unitorso DD right here >>18199096, even if they changed her bust/torso I doubt she's on a SmD body. Not sure what head she's got though.

I want a lewd doll ;__;

>>18210982
You know he photoshopped that picture to remove the bust seam right you dingus....?

Why do we get people who try to trick others into liking Smart Dolls? What a strange hobby.

>>18213935
It's not the same bust as the other pictures, it's a vastly different size. In any case those are DD arms, not SmD sticks. Also, why would you put a big back tattoo on a split-torso? It would just rub off at the seam. And photoshop out the bust seam but not the other joints?

>>18213976
Calling every unknown doll posted here is a meme.

It's also very dumb.

>Everything that doesn't look like a SmartDoll must be photoshopped.

>>18222868
Thanks, she's indeed Emilia. Faceup artist is Trixie Trixie.

Vocaloids are pretty autistic, yes.

One of my friends crocheted a scarf for my girl.

>>18222967
I see. I've been stalking her(?) dolls for a long time, they're really nice.

>>18223160
It might be a little big but I still think she looks cute as heck wearing it.

Sometimes they can, sometimes they can't. If there's a specific piece you're looking at then you probably want to check the exact measurements. SD13 stuff is usually safer but can be baggy.

>>18222217
God shes gorgeous. Good job with her. Maybe one day Toromi will be that pretty.

Here here this man speaks the truth.

Any Americans ever have any problems with customs opening stuff?

>>18229272
i havent had that problem yet, but ive heard of people saying it happens.

>>18229272
Why? What are you smuggling?

>>18229272
Never had it happen to my knowledge, I'm assuming they tell you if they've opened it when you receive the package?

>>18229272
I have never had this happen to me, and I have been in the hobby for over a decade.

>>18215057
I mean, she was asked why and what happened.

>>18232350
Just let anon despise girls in peace.

>>18140423
Where can I get this?

>>18233161
I think it was discussed in greater detail last thread. It's from Volks.

>>18230335
Can confirm. I've never had doll stuff opened specifically but they will put a slip in the package and re seal it if they open it

Ugh.... I really want a Twilight like this one... But why didn't Smart Doll release her with this face-up??? The proto type was just so good...

My Enma Ai is finally here.

>>18236700
She never looked like that.

>>18236982
She looks like she is demanding a hug.

Lack of outfits for flat girls

Flat is a crime when it comes to buying doll clothes for girls.

>>18239312
>>18239920
No only the huge xbox sized milk tits are doomed. The support for bust size is in the middle true, but flat is also well supported.

More important though is what you like. And if that's a larger chest then you should give your girls larger chests. Let no one stand in the way of your happiness.

>>18239920
>Flat is a crime
Impossible. Flat is justice.

This is why doll pantsu is more important.

This is just weird as hell if you ask me.

>seam lines

>>18240612
Nice.

>>18243138
You can sand seam lines away, though. A lot of the resin BJD companies do it. I also have no idea what I'm looking at or if that was relevant at all to what you were trying to say.

>>18243138
It doesn't bother me. He is still makeing vinyl girls along with these and these will be cheaper to buy so whatever.

>>18243671
I'm aware as much about dealing with seam lines. Seems like right now they looked more like assembly kits, kinda like gunpla.

>>18243686
If it lowers the entry cost, then yes it'll be interesting.

Why /jp/ hate smart dolls?

>>18243691
That's my issue as well. They'll be as sturdy as a 1/60 Gundam, without the huge anchor feet.

As for appearance, under stockings and dresses the existence of seam lines is moot. Exclusive of the "always hanging out in their underwear" crowd of course.

>>18244669
Mostly aesthetic reasons. Their head sculpts thus far have all been pretty awkward unless you look at them from the right angles. I haven't handled one myself, but also some people have said they feel cheaper and more fragile than DDs and Azones.

Personally, I just hate the cult of Danny Choo more than anything. Aesthetics are what's most important in a doll but also completely subjective, so I'm fine if people just love their Smart Dolls. When they start idolizing Danny Choo, attributing way too much to him when he's basically the ideas guy, it's really gross.

>>18244724
>they feel cheaper
and the new ones will be even cheaper

> cult of Danny
stigma point #2.

>>18244742
>and the new ones will be even cheaper
Rumours said the molding process will be handled by Kotobukiya, which from past experience take a decent amount of work to look remotely good.

>>18245181
It'll still feel cheap, and it's intended to be based on it's intended place in the product line.

Where do you guys buy your eyes? Painting my own is harder than I thought.

Does US Customs open a lot of packages?

>>18244724
Danny does go along way to make his shit likeable. I bought some clothes becuse there is some stuff I like and this was in with them. And it's fucking adorable with that cute art over real photos of the areas and information about the areas. Yah it's not a huge thing but it's more then Volks ever gave me and it makes a difference to people. It gives them the illusion they get more for their money. This personable salesmanship is how the smart doll brand has made this big of an impact in a very small market.

>>18246427
>did I order prohibited items [y/n]

>>18244669

i don't hate smart dolls, in fact i think a few of them are cute. and they have a nice selection of clothing

>>18246702
The clothing is indeed nice. Expensive but nice.

>>18246427
it depends on what you order, if it's doll stuff that comes from an actual shop and not just some guy, and all of the paperwork is in order it almost certainly will not be opened and inspected.

If it is live plants/animals it will almost always be inspected.

I have ordered onaholes, dakimakuras, doll stuff, etc they have never been opened.

I have ordered beetle larvae, all of those packages were opened but left otherwise undisturbed.

- Choo
- repaint hell to the point it's hard to tell what ISN'T using the Mirai face mold
- strange as fuck flat head sculpts with billboard brow foreheads
- overpriced as fuck clothes
- Choo's fanbase
- they don't pose as good and the limbs are sorta thin
- Choo progressively finding ways to make default clothes for smart doll cheaper, but keeping the doll at the same price

>>18244669
I don't hate them infact I own one. And I am going to buy a second. But I don't really feel the need to defend the brand here either. Expecaly becuse I feel there are some problems. At the end of the day if I am happy with the product then that is good enough for me.

>>18248029
All of the above, plus the vinyl feels hard and brittle. Except for the bust, because of course the oppais need to be soft.

>>18248619
It's odd how thinner vinyl can feel so much harder.

ALSO! He has bestowed apon us all a photo of an injection moulded girl. He even says you couldn't tell she isn't vinyl. Of course we can't it's a photo and we can't see the side were the seemline would be.

>>18249197
He has always taken the most flattering photos of his girls, but this is next level. I just fucking know she has a seam down the side. I love doll joints I really do, but seam lines are not included with that love. I can't buy one of these you can only look at it fully dressed and from the front. That said I am wondering how much cheaper she will be over the normal one.

>>18249197
>Of course we can't it's a photo and we can't see the side were the seemline would be.
>Danny misrepresenting himself
>checks calendar
>yep it's a day that ends in "y"

Seriously. if he wants to demonstrate the transparency of the seams he should demonstrate that, not pose them out of the way

>>18249197
>>18249210
It's a bit painful because I know too many people fall for it, but I do get a bit of a laugh out of seeing Choo's overconfident, fake marketing bullshit. I have the Smart Doll accounts muted on Twitter so I don't get to see them, so thanks for posting so I can still feel confident in my dislike of the guy.

can't you just fill in the seam lines like what plastic modelers do?

sure it's extra work, but it's considered a basic procedure in modeling

>>18250827
There are ways to deal with seams yes. But it's time consuming and requires some level of skill on a doll that big, then there is time investment. How much is your time worth? Plus are you willing to risk fucking it up? No i will just get vinyl girls.

>>18249810

>>18250972
You could say almost the same thing about doing faceups or making clothes or any of a number of other doll related diy projects. It all depends on how much work you're willing to put into it. If that's not your thing then no big deal but I don't really see anything inherently wrong with injection molded snap fit body parts.

Bigger things I would want to know before passing judgement are do the dolls come pre-assembled or do they come unassembled like a plamo kit? And what's the price? If it's an unassembled kit at a reasonable price I could see it being an interesting project. On the other hand if it's fully assembled with very little extra work done and it's only slightly less expensive compared to a vinyl doll I could see it not being worth it. I don't really follow these things so I don't know if either of those questions have actual answers yet.

>>18251294
I've never handled a big high quality plamo or anything, but I'm not convinced these SmD's will even feel like they're worth $300. Is $200 of that just for the honour of buying something from God Himself?

I understand that prices will be inflated because it's a niche market and that's just the way it's gotta go, but if your cheap-ass product isn't actually cheap what's the point?

>>18251354
If they really are $300 then I wouldn't see them being worth it unless they're fully assembled with seams removed right out of the box. I'll admit that as someone who's into plamo as well as dolls they seemed interesting but I can't see it for that price. I'll stick to frame arms girls and other kits for my moe plamo fix.

>>18251059
Ohhhh is this true?

>>18250827
>>18251294
> just fill
Have you ever done any gapfilling? unless you refinish the entire surface "just filling" them won't make them go away.

>>18251647
I don't think anyone ever implied that was all there is to it or that it was a super easy thing to do. And yes I have done it. I've been into plamo for much longer than I've been into dolls.

>>18251685
Then you know you don't "just fill" it and it's definitely not for everyone, so why even suggest it?

>>18251685
I don't see how the process of puttying it up/sanding escess would work with dolls considering you're not supposed to paint them.
Or wait, are they actual hard fragile plastic now? Like 1/3 busou shinki or FAGs? Jesus.

>>18252541
No only the new sub line of smartdolls will be plastic. They still sell the vinyl ones.

>>18252480
I never did suggest that people "just fill it" or say that it was for everyone.
Maybe you you should reread some of the comments you replied to. I said specifically here
>>18251294
>It all depends on how much work you're willing to put into it. If that's not your thing then no big deal but I don't really see anything inherently wrong with injection molded snap fit body parts.
The person I was replying to was saying that filling seams took time and a certain amount of skill, I was just pointing out that so do a lot of other things in this hobby but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad things.

>>18248029
Out of the loop. What's wrong with Choo? I follow him on Instagram. He seems cool and nice enough. Is he a secret child molester or something?

>>18252958
No he is just a popular sales man. So of course he is hated here.

>>18252958
Everything. Most likely.

>>18251567
no.

>>18252657
Aren't you sensitive.

So if this gets sold anyone interested? Becuse I won't it's too big I like 1/3 scale it's perfect.

Hahah what am I saying you guys wouldn't get it becuse it's a flat faced Choo slut.

But seriously I seem to remember seeing a 1/2 scale doll on display somewhere in akiba when I was there. It's just a step too far.

Do any of you have any male dolls and would you mind posting them? What's usually the best body for a male doll? I already have a female planned out but a male doll eludes me

>>18259513
there aren't any male animu vinyl dolls worth mentioning, and for questions about resin you might want to try /toy/s thread, there are more resin owners there (though most people crossboard I suppose)

>>18259513
Despite what people say here Smart dolls are not terrible. I would look at the male dolls he sells and see if they are what you want. If not you will probably have to check out the /toy/ doll thread and look into resin.

>>18259513
Despite what this guy >>18259958 says Smart Dolls are terrible.
You can't go wrong with buying Ren. He's still in stock. His Zenbon Sakura outfit looks pretty nice too.

>>18259513
Obitsu male bodies are still available AFAIK, but they might be too short for you or not appeal aesthetically

>>18259983
I wasnt really looking in a smart doll but a SDD/DD from Volks, I wish I gotten into this hobby properly sooner than just watching from the sidelines because they made one I really like how he looks but of course he's a limited exclusive run and sold out, so I thought the next best thing was making my own.

>Ren

Did you mean Len? I did want him but Rin is sold out and if I get one I have to get the other they are a pair for me.

>>18259958
I'm not quite interested in that line.

>>18260221
They are too short sadly, MDD or DD/SDD as above is somewhat I'm looking for but even the flattest torso is still visible female sadly. I just want to make a cute set of twins, I thought about ordering the twins they have at the store right now but I'm not too fond of their looks.

>>18260710
>Did you mean Len?
Yes. Almost always seeing him referred to as レン (and 錬) made me forget that his name is spelled with an L. Thanks for correcting me.

>if I get one I have to get the other they are a pair for me.
Well, I can understand that. They had her in stock again for a short time period in December or November (I think), I doubt that it's going to happen again but maybe you can still find her offered on other sites.
If you decide to make one yourself, good luck, unfortunately don't know much about male dolls, so I can't help you.
