Here's Volks News 78, you can zoom in really close to pics of Luka's shiny lips if you want

Ranka and Sheryl DDs are getting rereleased also.

>>18882520
For when your daughter requires only the highest quality glass prison.

>>18882520
Also these are dam cute!

>>18882520
Super dam cute.

>>18883213
Liliru gets more appealing everytime I see her, I might cave and get her eventually. I like the way this set fits on the MDD best too.

>>18883312
She is absolutely adorable.

>>18882520
Perfect

>>18883482
Holy fuck that caught me off guard. I almost choked laughing.

She looks hilariously bad even when you see the full face, but this crap is pure joy.

>>18883552
Your opinion is wrong.

>>18884442
No one said you can't enjoy her. I just won't spend money on her.

>>18883213
>>18883217
Agreed. I'll have to look into getting a few of these.

>>18884579
Thank you from increasing my chance to get her in the lottery.

>>18884749
Well if she tracks like Miku and Rin (Rin was available to buy for months if you searched the site) I think you won't have to worry too much about getting her.

>>18884763
Seems like every one got a Miku and they are still selling Len.

Is an updated FAQ being worked on?

>>18867505
>How well do Azone 48/50cm shoes fit on MDDs?
A tad loose.

I want to make an original loli like this. Are mini dolfies the best choice?

>>18885567
If you like mini dollfies and have the budget then yes, since they are popular finding clothes and custom face-ups you like shouldn't be a problem.

>>18885544
Could you do a photo comparison?

>>18885656
>>18885544
I will chime in also seeing as I just got a new pair. I find they fit both feet nicely but the strap is super tight on both, I will probably remove it.

>>18887131
>>18885544
>>18885656
As for the feet themselves? here Maple is being helpful and is not at all sinister. As you can see the width is about the same, but the Obitsu is longer.

>>18882520
WTF no news on 2B DD
Volks is still trying to shill out the leftover Ranka and Sheryl DDs.

>>18887794
Holy shit I forgot that was a thing.

>>18888006
>Fake news

>>18885656
Tried to respond earlier but 4chan broke. Here's one of Azone's smaller 50cm shoes on MDD

>>18885656
2/2
Pictured alongside Azone's other offerings. Note their sizing is across the board.

>>18889125
I see you have the same Azone black shoe with snap. Can I get your thoughts on them please.

>>18887131
>>18887142
>chime in to attention whore
>fail to demonstrate anything useful
I feel sorry for everyone who knows you.

>>18889122
>>18889125
Oh wow. I appreciate it, this was very helpful.

>>18887131
>>18887142
Seeing it on the whole doll makes me think the size difference won't bother me too much. TY~

>>18888071
All fake news. We will never get a 2B Dollfie.

>>18888071
It was cancelled IIRC

>>18895282
No, there just hasn't been news on it for like a year. They haven't cancelled officially and long wait times are pretty normal.

>>18895622
No on JP twitter I saw that it was cancelled

>>18895699
Post pics/link to prove it, I've never seen or heard that

Where can I buy a cheap 1:3 scale gun for my DD?

>>18888071
>>18894343
>>18895282
>>18896085
I haven't heard about this anywhere else, but here. Yeah [Citation Needed] in MLA format please.

>>18896085
clearly a troll
someone posted in the last thread, less than a week ago that they emailed volks and got a response saying it hadn't been cancelled

Instead of constant bitching, it be nice if more people posted pics of their dolls. There's only like 1-2 people who actually do that and then when anyone else posts it, someone else makes a shit post about it and it scares them off. We don't need to be hugboxy about everything either.

More doll pics before this thread dies quickly again. I don't care if the doll has a built in onahole. Just post some pics.

>>18898374
I'm too busy and untalented to take decent pictures, but she's been helping with homework lately.

>>18898846
That is a cute small girl. At least you posted a photo.

Got her a few days ago, I want to create a little room for her but haven't figured out what to put in it yet.

>>18898374
Agreed. We don't need a hugbox but we don't need to be mean just to be mean either.

Pic related is my contribution.

>>18899585
Super cute.

>>18899585
At the very least a bed and maybe a small place for her clothes and toys.

>>18898374
I guess there are a lot of people that have dolls but don't like taking pictures and people that do like dolls but don't have one.
I'm in the plaining to buy a doll group and I feel bad that I can't post a doll pic I made my self with every post.
A stolen doll pic from the internet. It makes me want to have a collection of small cameras for my future dolls as well.

>>18898846
Why are you all trying to convince me to by a MDD.
What is your homework? Image manipulation in Java?

>>18899585
Your doll needs a doll with a even smaller room!
Your doll is really cute by the way.

>>18900925
As soon as people don't constantly say mean things to each other it's a hugbox.
You also do have a nice doll.

>>18901810
It's homework for a digital image processing class, so basically. I'm just too lazy to sit down and learn a decent GUI library for C++.
Also, MDDs are cute, so you should buy one.

>>18898846
The grayscale is fun. I like her.

>>18899585
So adorable!

>>18900925
Also cute!

I wish I could come up with better compliments but I really like all your dolls.

As for me I have commissioned Tofu and Strawberry today so that's all my girls except for Cinnamon. Choo finally released Infinity today but she won't arrive for weeks but with this image of Cherry in her clothes and the store image of her head I will be getting her commissioned tomorrow. So tomorrow I will have all of my girls drawn by the same artist so I am excited.

>>18898374
My pride and joy

>>18903223
that's a boy

>>18903252
Yes

>>18903323
how does it feel being a FAG

>>18903223
boys aren't my style but he looks good anon. Make sure he gets his head pats.

>>18903517
I am just a girl, not a frame arms girl unfortunately

>>18903743
Thanks! He is my first doll so he gets all the head pats to himself

>>18904389
I still think she is too spooky for me. But she looks good. I also have that sweater it's kinda great.

>>18904389
I still think she is too spooky for me something about those deep red eyes, But she looks good.

I also have that sweater it's kinda great here it is on Pumpkin.

For reasons someone crawled out of the closet.

Seems someone crawled out of the closet.

Also her hair is a tad messy because I lost my brush when I was out shooting by the river. Soft toothbrushs cost like $2 how can I afford this loss!?!

>>18904811
No dollar store or dentist that just gives them away? I know you're not that deep of a poor fag, but those are just suggestions if you wanna be pinch pennies extra hard.

>>18904472
She's the spookiest. Those eyes are open way too far.

>>18905262
Yah a few people don't like her. But I like her lots.

So what started as just getting Waffles drawn back in 2016 has now turned into all 9 of my food girls being drawn including Cinnamon who is waiting to be shipped.

Also Miku who turned out really good I feel.

>>18909379
You paid for this?

>>18909476
Yes and I am absolutely thrilled. And there is nothing you can do to change that.

You should also find things you enjoy and share those things. Make the world a better happier place and all that jazz.

>>18909525
That's what matters in the end, I guess.

Good night /jp/.

>>18909379
Well it doesn't seem it was that hard of a job since the face is literally the same.

>>18912579
Let baby enjoy himself. The older he gets the more cringe he'll be able to see in hindsight.

>>18913999

So gorgeous I can forgive the foul meat and disgusting nail.

>>18913999
The fucking hell is wrong with that person's finger nail? It looks like the polish is melting.

>>18914412
3D heart with clear nail polish on top of it I think, the topcoat makes it look like it's melting together with the nail underneath

>>18914541
Get outta here with your information. Can't you see they're busy being ignorant?!

Are there any guides to styling doll hair?

>>18903223
>>18898374
I have a Len as well, yours looks really cute

>>18914541
I didn't notice the heart shape until you brought it up

Lunch.

>>18920762
these pictures always make me so uncomfortable
what if she flops over onto that greasy pizza?

is there a good image anywhere comparing volks wig colors? i can't tell the difference between rich brown and charcoal brown when looking at isolated images

>>18920769
Just degrease the pizza beforehand.

>>18903223
Can I see him posed with your vita games anon? He's really cute.

>>18920769
I would sit her down carefully first and make sure she's stable, set up the camera and take some test shots for framing and lights, then very carefully place the pizza, quickly take the picture, and remove the pizza.

Should be safe enough, can't be too careful with such a cute and wonderful doll!

>>18920769
>>18922109
>>18922165
>Does my doll sit up well enough on her own

It's not a difficult algorithm guys.

I've been thinking about getting my first dolls from Luts but I realized I just wanted the clothes themselves so I didn't bother if anything I can make the clothing myself.

I'm waiting for Volks to re-release my grail again so I can have my first doll. Though I saw this which I might just fill out when they do it if 9S and 2B don't come out anytime soon. I'm really excited to have the money to be able to buy my grail and have a custom doll done.

Will any of you other anons be doing this? http://volksusastore.com/onlinefcs/index.php?dispatch=pages.view&page_id=72

http://volksusastore.com/onlinefcs/

>>18922742
I'm always tempted when SD16s are available but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

>>18922742
Might want to check with /toy/'s BJD thread.

There are so many companies that make wigs for DDs, how am I supposed to find the perfect wig?

>>18924417
My approach is to try and fail and then try again.

>>18924664
What do you do with fail attempts?

>>18924795
Consume them with milk and honey for fiber.

>>18924795
Sell them.

>>18925510
She looks good in this image though.

Volks has Fate characters but those are all girls. But do you think because there is a DDS male body Volks will ever release a Astolfo? He could maybe sell well.

>>18924795
Keep them in case they work for a different doll. (I really have way too many wigs now.)

>>18928228
There are still some versions or clones of Saber they could sell.

>>18932206
Volks should re-release all their Sabers as a 500000 yen collector's box set, and the fullset will include the lingerie outfits. pic related.

>>18932700
Would anyone pay that much?

>>18933001
you underestimate otaku

>>18932700
The funny or sad thing is that I can imagine that it would actually work.

>>18936412
She is lovely now that she has a real head and not that 3D printed one. That said I really can't justify buying her.

What happened to figure.fm?
>>18936412
flat

>>18936412
It looks like it's probably flatter than Mirai. She's got a planar face with a little zit-mountain of a nose.

>>18936645
Speeking of which Cinnamon/Infinity shipped. I will do a side profile with one DDH of the threads choice, because I am too lazy to do more then one.

1) fuck off / ignored. I will post something extra obnoxious.
2) 03
3) 06
4) 07
5) nanami
6) new Marai
7) Miku.

This will be a proper wig off side profile with a white background! How flat will she be!

>>18937619
I'd appreciate it if you'd post ones with both Mirai and a DD head, preferably DDH-07. It'd be neat to compare with both other Smartdolls and with DDs.

>>18937619
>>18937829
wait just realized you meant DD Mirai
you do have a SmD with the Mirai mold though so can you use that one?

>>18932700
I would want this.

>>18937869
Hmmm I have an ebony not sure what mold she is though.

>>18936645
Excuse me.

>>18920762

I ordered my first doll now, how long will it take until I'm poor because I can't stop buying more dolls and stuff for them?

>>18942015
Were did you get a tiny mediocre pizza?

>>18943328
That more depends on you then the dolls.

>>18943650
Based on the apparent venue I wouldn't expect much to begin with.

>>18939446
Yeah Ebony and Ivory (and Julia) are all Mirai I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong), so yeah that's right.

>>18943650
Crappy convention pizza, lol! It was free though.

>>18945946
>Alone, noone is bothering her
>eating pizza in her underwear
What convention is this, it sounds... awesome.

>>18947844
anime la

>>18948082
>wanted a convention for people who eat pizza alone in their underwear
>anime LA
I suppose I was close on my guess.

>>18898374
>I don't care if the doll has a built in onahole.
Is that even a thing? Curious now.

>>18950503
They're called dollho's and they're not practical or very good. There are vastly superior holes out there that don't need limb transplants. and are simpler to clean.

>>18950659
You tried them yourself? I do own multiple onaholes actually, but from the pics I'm seeing it seems very tight and not practical like you said.

>>18950722
There's a reason they're not more popular than they could be. Do one thing well or try two things at the same time poorly. Think of them as gimmick holes that require expensive accessories.

Ugh. Can't believe what I'm seeing here. He should be ashamed of that horrible tinting job in the back window

>>18928228
>Sees pic
O.O
>remembers character
-_-
Dammit japan...

Doll tax paid

DS53 is underway in Asakusa, new body in development from Obitsu

>>18952441
It looks like they're going for a more realistic body shape this time. Can't say I'm a fan, but it looks good for what it is I guess. I was hoping it would be a lot different. The sculpting looks good but I don't like the look of the legs.

>>18952363
is her tie on backwards?

Have any anons sold their old doll clothes and wigs? If so, where? I got ton of clothes before finding something that suited my girls so now I have plethora of different doll clothing that I never use for them, like seifukus and casual skirts + shirts.

Pic related, my dolls and a lot of dust.

>>18954417
lol, i just now noticed it got turned around in this pic, i have checked and verified it is on her correctly atm, it may have been where i was moving her to get a quick pic and wasnt fully paying attention.
I...need to pay more attention to details...

>>18954734
why the fuck do my pics keep getting sideways?

>>18954747
Are you on a phone? I know at least for iphones you can crop a pic ever so slightly and it'll stop ending up sideways when you post it.

>>18954781
the last two are off my pc, the others were on phone but theyve all been phone pics from an android. theyre all correct anytime i pull them up on anything else so its driving me batshit crazy

Friday is pizza day
Hooray for Pizza Day
The best day of the week

Testing out the new stand mixer for dough. if you're in the market for one they've been marked down everywhere and are not immune to additional discounts.
inb4 omg dangerous

>>18954734
>>18954747
Your dolls are really cute, it's sad that the image quality is so bad.

A few tips:
1. get a tripod Or find a other way to prevent shaking. Like build one with Lego.
2. shoot in manual mode with low ISO (100 would be perfect but you can use a bit more if it's to hard)
3. Scale down the pictures in some software like paint or gimp that should also fix the rotation problem.

>>18955347
Another image for my collection.

>>18954747
I know only the collar is shown but that is a gorgeous outfit, I love the Alice in wonderland look. Where did you get it?

>>18955740
a store that sells doll clothes

>>18955740
I feel like it's an unwritten rule that every bjd collector has at least one alice style outfit in their collection hahaha.

>>18954866
It's because /jp/ strips exif data and your camera describes the orientation using an exif tag. One solution would be to rotate in photoshop (or some other software that flips the actual pixels) before posting.

>>18952441
In my opinion current obitsu/azo2 legs shape is better then that new body has.

Infinity/Cinnamon arived so its image time. The image is grainy because I was on ISO 640 because I was shooting indoors earlier and forgot to change it.

Now there was much interest in the Ebony head and done on the DD side so I just picked the two easiest to strip and remove DD heads.

the top is a DDH-06 and Ebony, below is DD Mirai and Infinity.

and no clearly flat face doesn't bother me but feel free to disagree you should get girls you are happy with.

>>18962092
Are you okay?

>>18962092
Thanks a bunch. Infinity is flat but she looks a bit better than Ebony in profile IMO. Congrats on getting a doll you love. Also, your hands look purple and I'm a little worried. Are you okay? That doesn't look healthy.

>>18962092
>>18962109
funny you should say that as I have another image i was about to upload. While i feel the doll heads are about the right color. My hands look like corpse hands. Its quiet funny and not worth the effort to fix in post processing.

>>18922101
Also wondering this

So out of curiosity, how many of you are open about this as a hobby? Do any of your friends or family know?

>>18965536
It's not a disease or crime. It's just a hobby. My friends and family know about it.

>>18965536
Friends and family know, but I haven't told my coworkers etc and I'm not planning to. All my friends are into anime shit so they are likeminded, parents find it weird but since I'm a grown-ass man they don't really bother interfering.

>>18965536
I don't have any friends to be open to, but my mom thinks my MDD is cute. I'd never bring it up at work though.

>>18955649
Thanks, I'm working in getting an actual camera, and fixing the lighting situation in my office area soon. Thanks for the tips! I ss them as I always appreciate picture tips as I'm just awful at it lol.
>>18955740
Thanks! I got it off another user at the dollfie dean forums. I believe I can find out what brand it is but it'll hafta wait til I get home as I'm at work atm ^_^;
>>18957499
Oh You!
>>18965536
I'm fairly open, I don't really talk about it at work as I'm only social with a few people there and only a couple of them are aware. Some of my family know, almost all my friends know, my wife knows (but absolutely hates it.) Uh, that's about it. I do take the girls out to cons and my local comic/game stores as they are fascinated by them and a few people really want one themselves now. Of course I get some odd looks and some people that are Blunt about their opinions but that goes with anything and I've never been on to be bothered by others opinions anyways.

>>18965536
My girl stays in a shoebox and only a few of my friends (mostly online) know

>>18962092
Bottom left is an actual snout.

>>18969822
How sad. She craves freedom anon.

>>18962092
Infinity has a cute profile! What does she look like from a 3/4ths angle?

>>18962092
The DD heads are cuter.

>>18968039
A good camera alone doesn't make good photos.

>>18976739
This!

But a good camera can be fun in its own right. Not that you need to add a multi hundred dollar hobby to already expensive dolls.

>>18933001
i would if i could

>>18977409
Little girls shouldn't do a pose like that.

>>18979997

>>18980041
You, too, you little cunt.

>>18977409
Amazing! A+ l love it!

>>18976739
>>18976876
Understood, when I say good camera, I don't mean several hundred dollars, I mean something better than my note 3 phone camera which is all I have atm.
I understand lighting, angles, and posing is most of the important factors in great pictures but I feel my elderly phone is much less than adequate for the task of event decent photos.

>>18980526
Do you understand? Or is that dunning kruger talking. Nothing improved my photography more then learning I was actually shit. And now I am working to fix it. Every photo is a chance to see what sucks and then to try to fix it.

Fact is you can take solid photos with a 13 MP camera in your note 3.

>>18981263
lol im under no illusion that im any good at this. if anything, i regress when i make an attempt lol

>>18969822
>Not being proud of your doll.

>>18988526
It's probably something unexciting and overly commonplace, like Saber, Miku or a DDH-03 from the days before Danny went rogue.

>>18988976
So? All of them are awesome and some with the right faceup are even more awesome to me than the rare expensive girls.
>>18988526
you should always be proud of your girls anon! My wife is absolutely not a fan but all 13, soon to be 14 girls are and will be prominently displayed!

>>18988995
Maybe she is not a fan due to the cost of 14 girls

>>18989516
She wasn't a fan when it was 1, and that was when she met me.

>>18989540
How odd.

>>18988976
It's an azone. I assume it falls into that category lol.

>>18990393
That's par for the course. Outside the new Iris series they're just not on the level of DDs

>>18990422
Yuuup.

Honestly I'm so confused about Pureneemo bodies. Like is there a white M body in that new super articulated style yet or not? I see like promos for new azone bodies at wonfest and stuff but no idea when any of it gets released

>>18991631
It's been a while since I bought Pureneemos, but I believe they put some details about the bodies used on the product pages.

The best

>>18995569
what? were you killed while typing this post?

>>18998384
Hotglue looks great on dark skin.

Posting here to see if anyone can help. I'd really like to get this stand for my dolfie dream sister doll. But I have no idea if this is for the actual stand or just pieces, and what option I'm mean to buy:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5-c.w4002-8176708848.57.76611d4cny6OiZ&id=45122058388

Almost literally 40 years ago Mattel launched their first black Barbie, and it was criticized fir being nothing more than a caucasian Barbie dipped in chocolate. Way to go Danny.

>>18999305
I prefer it this way.

I don't even consider it "black," just a dark skinned doll, like a drow.

>>18999305
What are you suggesting he sculpt some nigger lips and a squashed nose on it?
lets add a fat ass as well and some bruises from where her boyfriend beats her

>>18999333
>>18999421
So you're saying you like brown skin but you can't stomach actual niggers? Who's the fucking racist?

>>18999428
im not going to deny im not attracted to black people
doesnt mean im racist

>>18999171
Ignore this, got it from an english speaking site

>>18999305
Considering the old colour this is much better.
