/jp/ - Otaku Culture

What would you guys say is the most popular head for DDs?

>>34327735
DDH-01, at least judging from yahoo auctions. It's hard to measure popularity for limited sculpts though.

>missed the CV series
I know sometimes Miku will come into stock once in awhile but I miss that as well.

Anyone planning to get her tomorrow?

>>34327735
DDH-01 still is, but DDH-06 used to be all the rage, now it seems like DDH-10 has replaced it, in terms of popularity at least.

>>34327735
I think the better discussion would be the least popular (non-limited) sculpt. There are some I nearly never see.

Possibly a dumb question but is the faceup stuff volks sells worth it? I want to do my own faceups but I'm not sure where to start with anything.

https://twitter.com/mi_mi_mi_doll/status/1383794202857725956

the scalping of dolpa45 items is already in full effect on yahoo auctions

>>34337205
I wish I had the creativity to think of things like this.

/jp/ i need your help
What's the japanese term for a doll's skeleton so I can look for it in yahoo auctions?
I would like to buy a metal skeleton from this guy http://doloraco.blog37.fc2.com/ but they apaprently only sell it at events so i need to grab it from auctions
I'd buy commission if anyone could hook me up

>>34345084
>so i need to grab it from auctions
that'd imply someone's selling, some dealer items never make it to the online secondhand market

why is this general so slow? i'd think that more people would enjoy posting photos of their cute girls

>>34347187
be glad this one is still alive, last thread died less than 70 posts in. I think the issue is with visibility, the resinfags who used to go to toy aren't gonna think to migrate to /jp/. I'd post mine to keep the thread alive but they haven't arrived yet.

>>34347187
It used to be faster, I'm not sure what changed. I think a lot of the people who used to post regularly are probably off doing other things in life. I'm sure things will pick up again in time, they always do.

>>34347816
Who are you waiting on, anon?

>>34347187
I used to be more active taking photos but strangely enough I've done less of that even though I spend most of my time at home due to the pandemic. Here's one I took just now though.

>>34348032
It's not as surprising as you would think. I haven't been taking many photos during the pandemic either, either of my dolls or of anything else. You're definitely not alone there. Also, gorgeous dolls, anon!

I don't know if big smartdoll tiddies anon is still lurking, but there's a painted 3XL bust for sale on Y!JA right now.

Goodnight, doll anons. If it ever stops raining I will take some photos in the spring flowers.

dis thread

>thread dies just as i am about to get into the hobby

are there any dedicated forums for this?

>>34353926
Den of Angels for resin, Doll Dreaming for vinyl.

I hate how half of this hobby is ordering something and then waiting months for to come in. People who have stores IRL that cater to this hobby in their area are very, very lucky.
Anyway, I ordered cabochons to make eyes. DeviantART has some Dollfie eye bases that are free to use if you don't want to draw them yourself by the way.

>>34355673
Be sure to show us how they turn out, anon.

>>34331896
I wish she had a lay-away available.

would be terrified to bring my dolls out in public

>>34357255
I promise you no one cares.

>>34355673
Oooo, thank you for the rec! I have the resincasting skills but not the anime drawing skills. I hope the cabachon stickers work out for you, that seems like an ideal solution for doming.

>>34357255
If you bring photography equipment people will assume you're doing an art project, don't worry too much. The couple of weird looks and mean comments I've gotten over the years are nothing next to the enjoyment I get from shooting outdoors.

What sculpt would you say this is?

Hey, who's a good proxy for Dream Choice? I've heard Japan Doll Direct has problems, but I don't know of anyone else.

>>34359545
Looks like DDS Mariko to me

>>34360179
Thanks.

>>34333439
Yes, I heard good things about their brushes.

>>34360003
Please don't buy from Japan Doll Direct.
I think the best one is Sophie Bear.

This new horror game looks so realistic...

Auction had
>* We do not ship overseas outside Japan.
>Seller will not ship Internationally.
in the listing, how likely is it that the seller will cancel a winning bid from an obvious proxy acc? Guess only time will tell.

>>34363685
Are you sure your proxy isn't at fault? I bought from them too a few months ago and they arrived within days.

>>34367293
Relatively low. Only if there's "I refuse proxys/agencys" in the description, then they don't want to sell to you. And even then, most of the time you can bid with lesser known proxies.

>>34369512
Yeah I wrote to them and it turns out they had already arrived and they just failed to register the arrival/notify me, which is annoying.
>>34369553
That's good, I'll update here if it does get canned.

>>34370153
>>34370172
These are super cute.

>>34364608
don't hurt her feelings...

>>34372499
can i hurt yours instead?

>>34364401
I like the little wire Chii design motifs, are you gonna customize her more Chobits than this?
(Also idk if the faintly ominous lighting was intentional, but a portable ring light works great for illuminating doll eyes and faces, you can diffuse it further w/ bubblewrap if you don't like the reflections it gives)

>>34372642
yes
>>34372814
thank you, i plan to get better materials for accessory making but don't intend to turn her into chii specifically. i shone a flashlight to try and get some sort of reflection, the ringlight is a good tip that i'll look into, ty.

>>34364608
I think she's cute!

>>34376376
cute!! I always worry when seeing 'doll in a tree' pics, one, aren't you scared a gust of wind or just plain bad luck will knock her off and risk damage, and second, how the fuck do you manage to climb/get a doll in said tree/position it without a ton of gawking bystanders wondering what you're doing? same goes for three, how do go about getting it safely back down?

>>34376533
it wasn't a very tall tree. i just placed here there from the ground and took the pictures from the ground. theres a thin branch behind her that shes leaning on. I was willing to leave her there for as long as i needed. i probably could have left her there for a nap

now this picture? no branch to lean on, small gusts of wind. i was freaked out

that being said, a DD might be able to take a fall from a lower branch and live

my saddle stand finally came in but is a few cm too high, despite supposedly being for both 1/4 and 1/3. she has to stand on her tippy toes. anyone with mdd have any stand recommendations?

>>34376620
worth the risk, that is a cute as hell pic
just don't end up like the infamous anon on /toy/ who smashed his mikasa figma then tried to scam GSC out of a free replacement.

>>34376620
do you mind me asking what you shoot with?

>>34376815
I got her 7 years ago so I'm way out of any warranty period if there even was one. GSC's customer service is awesome tho. I had 2 defective figures and they replaced parts for both of them. did that anon actually get a replacement?

>>34376822
sony a7ii + canon fd 50mm f/1.4

>>34376620
I love this one. The diagonal composition and color scheme in the first one is nice, but the movement of the curves in this one gives the doll a dreamy, floating feeling. I might shoop the dark bg values out of the lower left (not the tree trunk, but the far bg behind it?) and upper right corner, they draw the eye away a bit.

>>34376669
If it's okay otherwise, why not get a $5 hacksaw and just cut the metal tubing shorter? It looks like it must pull out of that plastic collar on the base, if you cut it from the bottom it won't show when reassembled.

Fantastic shots anon, great work!

anyone know what sculpt this is? I'm leaning towards ddh-19 but there's a small chance it could be ddh-21 or Arle also.

>>34385327

It's prisma illya

>>34386463
>>34360179
I am always impressed by how people can sculpts apart.

>>34372642
Sculpt ID'ing Anon, can you tell me what this one is? The mouth looks kind of like DDH-16 but I am faceblind at anime.

>>34387807
Not that anon but I'd say modded DDH-16.

>>34377748
i ended up buying another stand anyways, phase3now on etsy has some wooden saddle stands that are more aesthetic than my current plastic one, but i will try to modify it anyways per your advice. not sure why i didn't consider that myself, ty

>>34385327
Looks like Makeup Option 1 for DDH19.

>>34393694
Not that anon but nice find!

https://gem.dollsoom.com/en/shop/2021-free-choice-pg-pw/
I know resin isn't as popular here, but Soom are selling the Dream Choice equivalent of their tiny animal dolls for a little while if anyone would be interested.

did a lot of sanding but will likely have to go back and make some small adjustments. are the ddh01's naturally asymmetrical or did i get a botched head? i know every mouth is slightly crooked, but one of my cheeks is chubbier than the other and the nose and chin are not perfectly on the center line. not very noticeable at all, but i'd like to get it as perfect as possible before moving on to painting.

>>34404427
I don't notice the nose as much as the cheek.

I'll be back to thread minding when I'm not under the weather.

Took one of my girls on a camping trip with me. I didn't take a lot of pictures, but here's one.

I was going through my WIPs and couldn't remember if I'd posted this here, but! If anyone cares! You can swap out the clips in clip-on twintails for magnet plus a felt ball, and it makes the hair fall more nicely. This one's a Himekazura wig but they've all got a similar drawstring-mesh-over-clippy-bit concept.

>>34410451
I hope you feel better soon ;A; Thanks for always keeping the thread around for us.

>>34410759
She's cute, I like how the gingham and stripes together give a mori feeling that suits the setting. Is her necklace some kind of charm bottle?

>>34410843
Thank you anon, I'll be over it soon. And thank you for the tips!

This wig is so amazing.
I heard there's a hair cuttery in Akihabara that will do Dollfie Dream wigs, I wonder if they can do more complex heat-styling like this...
Source is oO0co @ Twitter

i hope that you have a wonderful day /bjd/, get out and enjoy the weather if you can

I like how I bought Hibiki her own wardrobe before she arrived, but she keeps ending up in the older girls' stuff. Well it's cute in its own way.

>>34421635
Hand-me-downs!

Whatever happened to that guy who had a massive Miku doll collection who got all his stuff burned in a fire? Is he doing well?

>>34411139
Thanks. The necklace is from a store called Galileo Glass. I saw an advertisement on a website and thought something like that would be perfect for her and ordered one before I even got her. Probably the only time I've ever bought something from a random web advertisement. She's named Tiara, after the album by Seventh Wonder, so I wanted to get some space-themed stuff for her.

>>34426125
Not that anon but I think that's a really cool story, anon.

>>34424647
uh, the fuck? context?? I haven't been in these threads long.

>>34426444
It actually made the rounds of like, j-hobby communities at large if I recall. There was a guy with a massive collection of Miku merch -- dolls, figurines, everything you can imagine -- and he lost it all in a housefire. It is fortunate that he is still alive, of course, but... the amount of stuff he lost is immense.

https://blog.jlist.com/featured/hatsune-miku-fan-loses-his-beloved-collection-due-to-a-short-circuit-fire/

>>34426498
good god, that's brutal
I kind of had a morbid curiosity to see what a burned up dollfie dream looked like though

>>34426125
That's really cool! Speaking of the space theme, do you have any interest in doing astrophotography with her as a subject? I always admire the long-exposure-night-sky-bg portraits that I've seen on MyFigureCollection.

>>34426498
God preserve us from the content creators at J-List.
>The most hurtful thing that a fan would ever experience is losing the stuff he loves the most.
It's ANIME MERCH you fucking cockmongler! I hope whoever wrote that sentence has occasion to listen to a living creature burn, so they can correctly recalibrate the intersection of "most hurtful thing" and "house fire". I'm glad the person whose tweets they were covering was able to take the loss in stride and that he saved his dog.

>>34426627
Blackened and melty. One of my Japanese Twitter friends RT'd images of a doll room that caught fire earlier this year from a rechargeable battery pack, I can't find the post now.

>>34426836
Speak for yourself anon, if I lost my collection I'd probably an hero. I live alone, have no pets and have nothing else going for me.

Can I hybrid an Obitsu head on a DD body? Anyone know how Obitsu's Whitey matches up with Volks Semi-white?

>>34427639
Obitsu Whitey matches DD Normal, it's a poor match for Semi-White.

>>34427720
I was looking at the dollfie forum and saw someone say the exact opposite

>>34427879
L to R, Volks semi-white, Obitsu whitey, Volks normal. Whitey and Volks normal have yellow undertones, semi-white has cool pink undertones.

Ah I guess thats what caused everyone to dig out their PSP for the first time in years.

After years of saying I'm not going to get into MDDs because I don't want to fall into the money trap of an entire second wardrobe... I am planning to get my first MDDs. I can't win. They're just too cute.

>>34441233
Good luck, anon.

Parse a second time through what he wrote. He agrees with you.

>>34442448
Not that anon but it's pretty obvious the anon was disagreeing with the one criticizing the article instead of the one who wrote it, as was I.

>>34442203
Same but proxying for DC is so fucking expensive.

>>34442527
God yeah, so I've heard. I keep hoping I'll find one on the aftermarket, but the problem is so will every other bastard on the internet, and they'll snag it before I can.

Not that anon, but related to the MDD discussion, aside from needing an adapter for the heads, are Obitsu bodies a good alternative to MDD/DDP bodies? Looking to save costs.

Gorgeous. https://twitter.com/uuumumudoll/status/1385544339523215361

>>34444354
MDD bodies look better in my opinion, but Obitsu bodies have better posability. If you don't mind the weird kneecaps and elbowcaps, they are definitely a good option.
You can see a posability comparison in this video: https://youtu.be/MDIzUjHxRIs?t=280

>>34444622
Oh, thank you anon!

How hard is it to replace a bust on DD-f3? I only just noticed that I can get SS sizefor my Karin dollfu

Can anyone ID this dress? I'm pretty sure its Volks.

>>34446527
Not very hard in my experience, just remove the arms and head and the bust will come right off.

>>34448107
Cute!
>>34452956
I don't know this set name, but I'm pretty sure it's under the Volks Pink label. You can check on Myfigurecollection.net, they have a majority of the volks sets organized by label with photos.

do you guys(gals?) prefer casual clothes or fancy dresses for your dolls? i just have casual, and school girl stuff for mine. thinking of buying a classical style dress.

>>34454418
I usually keep them in casual, seasonally-appropriate outfits, but sometimes I'll get something fancy for a change of pace. You should switch it up!

What are some keywords I should use to find clothes for MDD/DDP girls?

>>34454418
Mostly casual. I have a couple of fancy dresses but they're not worn all that often.

>>34353926
a lot of forums are kinda dying as well. There’s a lot of FB groups for everything from massive general chatter to small local groups that do outings though, and you can get your fill of pictures and tutorials from Instagram and YouTube respectively. Plus of course there’s discord servers but those vary wildly in content.

>>34426627
I’ve seen resin dolls after a fire, but not vinyl. The resin were disturbingly like actual burned bodies, complete with some kind of reaction on the string that made them curl into fetal position.

>>34455798
That's legitimately one of the saddest things I've ever read what the fuck.

if i wake up and there's a fire, i'll throw my dolls in a backpack before fleeing.
if a fire happens when i'm not home... my worst fear is coming home from work and seeing firetrucks.

I am having a very difficult time changing one of my hands. One of them slipped off easily, but the other I've been pulling at for a few days now and it just wont come off. Anyone else experience something like this?

>>34470644
That is strange, what body/material is this? I know SmD can be a wildcard whether he hands come off easily or not, and Obitsu hands tend to give me trouble.

>>34470944
it is the original MMD hand that is not coming off

>>34469887
Cutest school shooter.

>>34470644
I often have trouble removing mine too and have to use a small screwdriver to pry it off.

>>34470644
I had that issue too with my dd. Keep tugging I guess

>>34471160
could buy another wrist joint part, and just switch the wrist/hand together

It'll blow your head *clean* off.

>>34471160
I just buy extra wrist parts like >>34472366
recommended. But if you have a hair dryer around warm up the vinyl a little bit to make it easier to pull it off.

>>34411976
Damn I really want this kind of wig in black for one of my girls!! I am always looking, anybody know where I can find one?

You can also roll up some sandpaper and sand the inside of the hand a little bigger, if you work slowly and test as you go you'll be able to get the fit perfect. I've done this on a couple of pairs that were a poor fit (I like having the hand seat up against the balljoint with no gap)

What are some of /bjd/'s favorite resin dolls? I know Aimerai and MYOU-doll both have anime-styled options, but they're smaller... is there anyone that does SD anime girls? Or am I just better getting whatever and redoing her faceup?

>>34548747
the movable toes freak me out so bad

Where would be the best and safest place to sell (or even trade) a vinyl doll? I can't do DoA since she's considered off topic there, and I'd rather avoid Facebook since I don't have an account anymore. Is Discord the way to go? I was hesitating listing her there since the only large doll server I know of is resin-focused and I didn't want her to be sitting for sale for eons, but... I guess that's just how it is with a hobby like this?

>>34555597
etsy seems like the easiest

>>34555609
Really? I thought Etsy was more for selling stuff you made/modified yourself, which the doll I'm trying to sell is very much not.

>>34555676
then i guess ebay

>>34555597

I'm gonna bomb the thread real quick. I dressed up my girls for May in Eurovision themed outfits, and they each got their own solo pic.

>>34558862
I have one more pic to take, but I forgot to charge my camera battery.

Was excited to be doing well again after a rough few months, thought about treating myself with a new doll. Today the freezer started leaking ammonia and I had to toss most of my food because it got into the fridge. Feels bad.

Why was the thread moved from /toy/ to here?

>>34568674
newfag, /jp always had a vinyl doll general
the one on /toy/ just died out on its own

>>34568674
The /jp/ doll thread has been around for literal years. Since the resin thread-minder seems to be MIA, people are migrating over here of their own volition. We mostly get vinyl posters (and anons with anime-style resins,) but we get resin collectors from time to time.

Hi. What the fuck is that?

Like the rest of my hobbies, it all started with the manga Chobits many, many, many years ago.

That looks nice. The Metroid is a nice touch

I finally got a Real Camera and I'm getting my second shot of vaccine today, so I think I'll finally be able to justify bringing my maids to shoot at a tea parlor! Indoor dining restrictions mean I should have enough space to get photos with no people in the background.

>>34589769
I wish I lived in a country where I could bring my doll outside and people wouldn't want to lynch me.
Make sure to post some photos! By the way camera is it? I was thinking about one lately, in the 200-300$ range, would that cut it?

>>34589931
Oh I'm sure people will *want* to lynch me, but they want to lynch me for so many other things that I no longer factor it into my cost/benefit analysis.
I got a secondhand Canon Powershot G5X. Still a point-and-shoot, but it has a bigger sensor than a cellphone camera so the images are clearer even if it's in automatic and not manual. They're about $350 used on eBay. The sensor size seems to be what separates point-and-shoots into price tiers.

>>34591547
What is that sensor size range? Is that the number on the sensor type? Like 6000 is a good one?

https://twitter.com/Dianna_Tialoc/status/1389095306487238662

>>34591603
I am not sure what you are asking; 6000 sounds like a resolution measurement? The sensor is the semiconductor that the light hits, bigger sensor = more information to make a clear image with. So my cellphone and my camera both produce images about 4000x3000 pixels wide, but the camera has more visual information, so the picture is clearer.

>>34592595
Sensors usually have a number on them, but I'm not an expert, I literally don't know anything about cameras.

Hey, what kind of mask do I need to spray MSC and stuff?

>>34613410
Depends on how ventilated it is where you are. A normal N95 would be fine.

>>34613410
I use a half mask respirator with n95s over the cartridges.

Possibly overkill but I don't want that shit settling in my lungs.

>>34591547
i think i found your shoot on DoA anon. cute boy and cute photos! please enjoy your new camera!

Finally got the time to change Karin's bust to the SS one I ordered, and installed the ears on to Musette
Its not much but thought I'd post anyways

>>34617597
the only excuse you need to post your dolls is "my doll is cute"

>>34621815
based

>>34615071
Thank you anon!

>>34617597
I'm always happy to see your dolls, anon, don't be shy.

>>34621815
Damn right.

>>34628252
I love this user's pictures, but have no idea how they pose her like that. I feel like I might break the neck joint if I try to put my girls in that position, and they certainly won't stay that way after I let go.

Are there any easy mods or aftermarket parts I can buy to make DDs (or whatever) pose better? Aside from the hip joint being a pain the DDf3 poses well, but none of them really do that knee-hugging pose well that you see all the time with resin dolls, so it makes me wonder.

>>34632495
I thought the DD photos with the knee hugging pose just had the legs removed but the hip joints hidden.

>>34632957
... I feel like a dumbass that I didn't think of doing that myself, holy shit.

>>34630907
dunno how they do it but their shots sure are cute

>>34630907
>>34633181
I know some people take out a notch in the neck to get more mobility.

>>34633277
Does that little notch really work that well?

>>34633456
Somewhat but it depends on how much you take out. The neck joint itself has a pretty wide range of movement but of course if you take out too much you might be able to see it from behind when the head is in a horizontal position. You could potentially swap out the entire bust though if you plan to take photos such as these.

>>34633645
Good to know, thank you!

>>34634959
Nice package.

>>34634959
What an unfortunate tangent shape from the back of the skirt, they put so much effort into the rest of the editing too!

>>34632495
Silicone parts seem to give a big improvement in neck and shoulder range-of-motion, the weight makes standing harder but they're good if you want to convey languor.
The new f3 feet with the ankle rockers fit on the DDIII frame if you shorten the shin rods a couple mm to get the vinyl to seat over the ankle ball. I put some on an Obitsu and they make dynamic stances much easier.

>>34634959
hot

does anyone know wtf is going on with danny? it seems like he has so much anger built up against his own customers

>>34639013
Half him being a hack, other half is a minority of western BJD hobbyists being absolutely insane.

>>34639072
a minority?

can i get some context pls

>>34639756
I don't know what happened now, but he generally doesn't want to sell anything to you. I bought my smd a couple months ago and I had to write a short essay on why I should be able to buy it.

>>34639013
The dude's got some kind of unmanaged personality disorder, it's blatantly obvious in his social media postings and oozes out of the victimstancing in his product copy. Emotional lability and stimulation-seeking (fabricating conflict, for example) tend to be features thereof. I for one am looking forward to the meltdown that kills his brand.

>>34639013
Danny choo is dead to me. I will never speak of smart doll again

>I bought my smd a couple months ago and I had to write a short essay on why I should be able to buy it.
'because I have money' isn't an acceptable answer, I'd take it?

>>34640410
I ordered some items recently and the email says (and I quote)

"If this is your first time ordering, a human will mail you to confirm some details which require a reply before we can ship - we cannot ship first time orders unless you reply to one of our humans ;-) In some cases we may call you so if you see a Japanese number then it's us ;-)

If this is not your first time ordering then all will proceed as normal ;-)"

Now, this is not my first time ordering so I suppose I won't have any issues but this is not something I expect when I order something.

>>34641210
Danny's need to control things is beyond insane.
