What types of doll photos do you enjoy the most? I love dolls with dolls and dolls in the outside world.

>>38994226
i like to see fancy miniature scenes. i think i like them more than the dolls even

>>38994226
>>38994236
I like trying to craft scenes in my photos, but sometimes finding appropriately-sized props can be tricky. Thank goodness for 18" doll collectors.

>>38994226
>>38994586 is the type of photos I love the most. I like seeing dolls just doing things. I dislike the thought of dolls just sitting on the shelf never getting used, but that's also the owner's right

>>38994586
I love that photo. I don't have the balls to take my girls outside, so I love seeing those photos most.

I hope everyone (and their dolls) in jp is safe! I was watching a streamer when the earthquake hit.

>>38994226
I love dolls outside too. I also love old school type photostories of dolls + their owners having silly fun together. I miss when more people did those

>>39000635
I feel similarly... I think people have forgotten how to have fun, in some ways. We're all so focused on not being cringe, or on all the other troubles in the world, in being "right" in arguments and everything else, that we've lost a sense of fun and whimsy in the world. It's not just folks getting older, it feels like as a society we don't remember how to enjoy just... dumb shit for its own sake. Everything has to be a side hustle or whatever, we can't just do, just create, just enjoy for its own sake. It's frustrating because I don't remember how to get back there, either. Photostories seem like so much work to set up, I really respect anyone who takes the time. I don't care how cringey the story is, I still respect the work.

We should have more fun, anons. Life is too short to not find happiness somewhere, you know?

>>38994586
>in a perfect world where DD & SmD lovers can come together in peace and harmony.
a doll lover can dream! NO MORE SISTER WARS!!!

what do you hope to accomplish this year, dollanons?

>>38994586
oh wow that's nostalgic
had an Igloo cooler that looked exactly like that growing up

>>39003600
I did as well, I'm pretty sure this is a Journey Girls prop -- but I'm not sure what release it's from. It was a lot of fun to go out and take these photos, even if it was blisteringly hot outside that day. I talked to several old men as they cast out on the lake to go fishing, as well. No one pays you any mind if they see you with a camera, no matter what you're doing. You guys should do what makes you happy.

How do you guys handle it when they don't send exactly what you ordered?
It's been happening a lot on etsy especially. For example ordered 1/4 shoes, but got the 1/3 version. Or eyes with the wrong size of pupils.

When I did until now, they resent the actual product for free. But even I'm starting to feel bad as I usually get to keep the "wrong" product too.
The stuff usually comes from China, so if I complain and they ask me to send the wrong stuff back, I might even lose out on it.

>>39012204
If they send you the wrong thing it's on them to pay return postage. It's one of the reasons they won't ask for it generally, as it cuts into their bottom line more than letting the product go for free.
I wouldn't worry about it, you're not the one who made the mistake and you should get what you order.

>>39012204
May I ask who you've been ordering from? So I can avoid them.

>>39002830
Actually buying a doll.

>>39017041
I hope you can bring one home, anon! I know it's daunting, I never thought I would get my first doll either.

>>39017768
This is hilarious.

>>38994226
Have a doll with a doll in the outside world.

>>39012204
>etsy
Worst thing is you probably arent even getting the item from the company that made it.

>>39022662
you've managed to find the perfect picture

>>39022662
That looks like a kidnapping case.

What's your favorite time of year, anons?

>>39029997
Winter !

I found something called "mini brands" at my grocery store and some of the stuff is scaled pretty nice for a 1/6 doll.

https://twitter.com/yuuki_sophiel/status/1504578825237065742

>>39033771
Mini brands are so fun, great find!

>>39032689
It's fun to bundle up my dolls and take them out in the snow!

Dolls for sale. Done with the hobby for the foreseeable future sadly.

So what does Azone exactly do about bodies?
I keep hearing that Azone uses Obitsu bodies but I imagine that's just for character dolls and the like, right? Pure Neemo and other lines use their own bodies IIRC.
Mostly curious because of clothes. I want to learn how compatible clothes are among blythe, obitsu and pureneemo of the same scale.

Aren't you ashamed of being into dolls? I mean, I don't mind it but what if someone else found out?

>>39046540
I can always say I use it for a drawing prop. Now the two big dolls are another question entirely.

>>39046540
I'm already ashamed of myself enough for other reasons for it not to make much of a difference.

>>39046540
In the age of social media, most people genuinely do not care. People actually come up to me pretty often to ask about them when I'm out taking photos, most people just seem to find it interesting that such big dolls exist, or want to ask about the process of taking photos with them. If people see you with props and a camera (or even a phone,) they seem to generally assume it's something business related -- at least in my experience.

>>39015682
Not gonna say names until it has been handled, maybe a few threads later. Don't wanna risk handling things amicably. Technically one of them said they'd send the actual product again, for free.

>>39023851
This is true. It happened multiple times that I got the packet, and seen who made it, and the cost is less than half on their website. But I'd never find their website otherwise, and/or I'd have no smooth way of ordering from them.
I don't know. Stuff on Etsy is really expensive, but usually much higher quality than on ebay. Sometimes I was very impressed by the quality even. I know it's just another "marketplace", but still it seems to work out for now.

>>39046237
Depends on the scale and typeSince you mention blythe I assume the reference is obitsu 24, since each other's clothes fit perfectly (to the point that blythe owners often swap the body for better mvoement).
In that case, pure neemo M size is pretty close. They're slightly smaller (although their hips are wider for some reason) but as long as clothes aren't too tight they should be compatible I believe.
Additionally, browsing around I found a pure neemo series with this maid uniform and if I'm not mistaken another anon with an obitsu doll had the same uniform.

Any dollanons create clothing and props for their dolls?

>>39072914
I have no crafting skills, but I know a ton of people get into this hobby for the sewing/crafting aspects.

>>39069267
She looks like she just realized that dolls don't have brains

I bought my first doll and I love her!! However her hair is a bit sticky feeling, is it plasticizer leaking? I was going to try some warm soapy water to fix it but I'm scared of ruining her hair somehow

>>39083398
>her hair is a bit sticky
I'm sorry to hear that. Never put her under UV light.

This is my emo zombie daughter, do you like her /jp/?

>>39084392
Needs more hairclips.

>>39084392
I can appreciate the vibes honestly. She's nostalgic to look at.

>>39072914
I'm learning to sew and I build 80% of my own props. Did you have questions about learning or need resources?

>>39083398
Don’t know if this is the case for your specific doll but I’ve noticed that some Saran hair fibers many Japanese dolls use has a sticky/waxy feeling by default. I own about 100 pureneemos and brand new ones will sometimes have a slight waxy feeling to their hair. A gentle cold wash with mild dish soap helps a little.

>>39090892
What does that face imply?

>>39096426
smug sassy brat I would say

>>39101971
>Cue Whitney Huston

>>39084392
Id let her eat a finger.

>>39086881
Yes I would very much appreciate both question about where to start as well as resources. Not really sure on where to start as I would like to be able to create custom clothes as well as props for scenes.

>>39101971
Such a lovely photo!! It looks like romantic springtime.

There are a lot of helpful guides on here that teach the basics of sewing and materials. And in the OP there's a MEGA full of sewing books and patterns. There are a lot of patterns available on Etsy as well, a lot geared towards beginners. KitNKatShop has a lot of easy patterns with easy to follow instructions (I don't know if she's still making video demonstrations for them, but I know she did at one point) Sewing is one of those things you have learn hands on as you go really. I tried watching videos and reading tons of tutorials, and found that following along helps a lot. A good garment to start with is a circle skirt. They don't use a lot of fabric and it'll teach you stitches, how to hem, how to make a waist band and follow patterns. When it comes to dolls, learning to scale patterns and use measurements is going to be a key skill to learn.
For Prop building, there's some tutorials in that link as well, but depending on what you want to make I don't know how useful those will be. Small scale props they hold, scenery and furniture are going to be very different from each other in approach and materials you can use.
For props they hold you can get really creative depending on what you want them to be in the scene. You can model with clay, there's air drying and home oven drying, I prefer oven drying as I feel like it's harder when it's done. Spray it with a sealant like Mr. SuperClear to keep color from transferring. 3D printing is an option too, and if you don't want to invest in a personal printer, there are a lot of services that will do it for you and they're pretty reasonable since the prints will be smaller. I just had a zero blaster from Metroid printed and it was around $16. You will have to paint them yourself though. Christmas ornaments, wedding and party favors, table décor can yield great results for finding props and American Girl Doll/Our Generation doll props will mostly be in size too. American Girl props are especially helpful to google, as there are a lot of people who post step by step crafting guides as well as printables for papercrafts.
Scenery props are a lot more free form. You don't have to worry about them being perfectly in scale and you can use lots of different materials. Scrap wood, sticks, cardboard, paper-mache, PVC pipe etc. Depending on what you want to make there are tons of free to super expensive options. Also, the floral sections of hobby/craft shops like Joanns or Michaels will have a TON of stuff you can get (use coupons) to modify or use to make in scale scenery props like moss, small stones, mini silk flowers etc. They'll also just randomly have things that are close to scale like ladders and chairs from time to time. I don't know what people use them for, but they'll be there.
Furniture is complicated because it depends on a lot of things and can use a lot of different skills. If you want it to be permanent, semi-permanent or disposable can radically change what materials and tools you'll need. People have made amazing looking stuff just out of cardboard and scrap fabric though. Youtube search for doll furniture will have a lot of simple and interesting results to try. You can make a lot of simple but good looking stuff on the cheap and you can also go super hardcore and make permanent pieces out of wood and other durable materials depending on your own skill and comfort level. If you want to make the permanent stuff, just look at how people make real furniture and scale it down. Don't be afraid to cut a few corners in the structure though, it's only holding up a light doll, not a person. (For example, a simple bedframe can just be a wood rectangle with a piece of cardboard on top of it and a piece of foam wrapped in fabric is a mattress)
Don't be intimidated and just pick a project and run with it, and have fun!

>>39133495
Building onto this anon's post, you can make anything out of anything if you just need something quick, rather than something sturdy and reusable. A friend of mine does house sales and you can absolutely window-dress a bed out of some sheets, pillows, and cardboard boxes. Also visit your local garden center- a lot of plant stands are doll-sized chairs, for some reason. This hobby makes me look at everything in a new light!

>>39140445
Doll panties make me get up every day and keep living.

>>39140583
Genuinely anon, if it's a reason to keep living, then that's worthwhile.

>vinyl dolls
What's the appeal? Being serious here.

>>39153232
They're cute and posable. What's there not to like?

https://twitter.com/graysuton1/status/1507371962732990470

>>39153232
I like to take photos of mine. Some enjoy using them as dress forms or sewing models, others enjoy the act of customizing them, and some people just enjoy placing them in a glass case to stare at now and then. There are a lot of different reasons people get into the hobby!

>>39153232
They're combination art piece and big Barbie.

i feel like my dolls look satanic, maybe i should switch to anime style eyes since everyone uses them. i have two minifees but i don't know if anyone here has them.
i wish i had a smaller doll like this too: >>39064967

>>39158846
The one in that post is probably a Mini Dollfie Dream. You might also like the smaller Obitsu dolls, or Azone Pure Neemo, if you enjoy the smaller ones. I don't have any Minifee, but I'm familiar with them! I'd like to see your dolls if you'd like to share them, anon. The resin thread's over in /toy/, but that doesn't mean crossboarders are unwelcome, at least in my opinion. I collect resin and vinyl, personally.

>>39161439
love the miniature foods

>>39161439
That's adorable.

I got the silicone body from Adyka in the mail a couple days ago, think this was discussed briefly in an earlier thread. First impressions is that seems pretty sturdy and of decent quality. It's pretty wide around the waist so most DD/DDdy clothes won't fit (at least not easily) unless they stretch. It comes with a bust but you have to supply your own F3 frame feet (legs are included) and arms. Generally I like it.

>>39169769
She's really pretty anon, I love that wig. How's the posing and so on?

>>39170500
Thanks. Posing is pretty good, certainly more movement than a standard DD body. The knee and hip joints are super tight but that's probably a good thing since they're not serviceable at all. The silicone starts wrapping in weird ways if you're trying to make her sit on her knees though. Still early days for me to figure out what's possible here of course.

>>39169769
>wide around the waist so most DD/DDdy clothes won't fit
I had my eye on these bodies for a while but this might be a deal breaker for me

>>39179230
>not making embarrassing photos of her trying to put the clothes on but failing and contemplating if she got fatter lately

Looking to sell a 1/3Dollfie Dream Aoi cheap. It is the first version released back in the early 2000's. It doesnt have the original dress, but a one piece white swimsuit instead.
Mainly looking to give it a good home over profits.

>>39183789
how cheap? this doll is worth like... $900 nowadays

you're going to have to price it for pretty cheap to get it sold fast

>>39184022
$200CAD ,plus shipping is what I'm looking for.

Anyone here planning to go for one/both?

>>39200000
Is Himemiya actually confirmed? I've lost track of the Utena merch that had her planned, but only produced Utena herself.

>>39203018
https://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/utena/dds_anthy.html
Looks that way. DD Icon Tawny with matching joints finally.

>>39203018
anthy is only for display only. its not for sale

>>39213429
She is absolutely for sale. Volks had to push back the sales date for both until next month. The sales method wether it be lottery/preorder/click war has not been stated yet.

>>39214846
I'm glad to hear that! I was worried.

Both Utena and Anthy will be for sale.

An anon in /toy/ pointed me over here for obitsu info, unfortunately I didn't find my answers in the faq so could anyone point me in the right direction?

I bought a 1/6 cheapo obitsu recently and was just looking for some basic tips about assembling, swapping parts, etc. One of the main things I wanted to read more about was how the smaller dolls' "realistic" eyes take on a red tint in the whites because of how far inset into the head they are; I wondered if there was a different type of eye or different strategy to use when setting them that could reduce this look, or if it's just a quirk of this type of cheap doll. Any videos from collectors of these types of dolls would be helpful as well. I can find a lot of unboxing/reviewing/first look videos but not really anything from people who have been collecting them awhile and know what they're doing with the specific doll type.
Thanks!

>>39232437
This thread is much more for the 1/3 and 1/4 side of vinyl, Obitsu dolls are welcome here, but their owners are few and far between. While you wait for any of them to chime in, check out the forum DollDreaming, they have a section for Obitsu dolls and while it's not very active, there are a lot of older threads with a lot of helpful information. https://www.dolldreaming.com/forum/52-obitsu/

>>39232437
I know for larger 1/3 1/4 dolls there’s a tool called an eye beveller that sands the insides of the eye vinyl to make the eyes appear less sunken in.
https://volksusastore.com/webstores/dollfie/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=330

Maybe you can find a tiny one in your dolls size?

>>39233156
>>39233641
Thank you so much, this helps a lot!!

Just what is it about sweaters that makes big boobs look even better? Not a breast man myself and I think this is a fearsome combination.

>>39248379
Really is a nice and calming view to fall asleep and wake up to. Don't worry, the glasses are only on for this snapshot ; don't nod off with them on.

>>39248490
She's pretty, anon. What's her name?

Where can I buy a good wig wax? Volks is sold out.

>>39252657
Nevermind, they restocked yay

>>39250980
She's Hibiki. I've posted her a few times in past threads. Might do another when it starts getting greener outside.

>>39263936
I'd like to see more of her, I enjoy seeing anons posting their dolls.

>>39252657
>>39252852
might as well ask, can wig wax be used on dolls with rooted hair? I know azone used to make their own "hair wax" but it's been discontinued for years

>>39264939
I've not had a problem with it personally!

It frosted and snowed here right as the trees started to bloom out. There goes my blossom season, I hope the other anons here can get some good shots!

If you don't match clothes with your doll, you're doing it wrong.

>>39265851
I love when people twin like this, it's so cute.

>>39280627
Thank you, I'm glad you like them! I do have a lot of fun with them. I was just going through an old flash card and I found the very first picture I took of my first doll when she first came home, before I got her a better wig, knew how to pose her really and didn't know at all what to do with her. It's funny I didn't know at the time how much I would get out of this hobby. Pic related.

>>39281315
My very first real doll photo was in a similar vein! I didn't even have her wig in yet, I only had a few things to wear and none of them matched... I've come a long way since then. I know you feel -- I never thought I would come to find so much creative energy in this hobby. It's really nice!

obtained a new resident anons. did i do well?

>>39268064
anyone??

tfw been trying to drack down that one limited dealer's outfit set you missed the pre-order period on and now it's sold out and the artist confirmed there won't be a second run and you can't even get scalped paying twice the retail to own one because no one is selling them. Pain.

Sticky down for anyone else?

>>39268064
Anon all 2Bs have shipped from the preorder a long time ago, Volks already moved onto the next pre order project months ago.

>>39283994

>>39285880
it's down for me, could there be problems with the .moe domain?

>>39283994

Would anyone happen to know what outfit set this is? Or is it a custom? Thank you!

I don't think it's the domain in particular, the general buyfag site is up as normal.

>>39311057
It's up for me, and if it does go down, it's been saved in the wayback machine a few times as well.

>>39311066

>>39265851
>>39302649
If I harm the doll, does it hurt her as well?

>>39311003
If only the joints weren't deleted...

>>39324547
Off topic, but there's a lot of women here presumably: Is wearing a sweater or jacket like that around your waist considered feminine/effeminate/gay if a male were to do it? Not for fashion but because it was hot and a simple way to keep hold of it.

>>39324652
Not in my experience. It's cooler than slinging it over your shoulder would be on a hot day, and you still have access to your pockets. And honestly, anyone who gives that much of a shit probably has some issues they need to deal with on a personal level. Be free, anon.

>>39324652
no. what a weird thing to worry about.

>>39325560
Well, I see anime schoolgirls do it a lot so it's starting to get an association with JK fashion in my mind even though I didn't care before. No one's ever brought something like that up or anything.
>>39324726
Oddly though, I remember someone once saying to me that bubblegum was girlish when I was younger. Weirdest thing I ever heard, especially since I used to collect those baseball cards that had the shitty bubble gum sheets with them.

While I'm at it, is this doll >>39324547 based on a character? It looks strangely familiar or maybe just overly generic.

>>39325634
>it's starting to get an association with JK fashion in my mind
anime is rotting your brain

>>39326755
It's the good kind of rot. Like those french cheese.

>>39325634
He looks a dead ringer for Kuzuha from Nijisanji JP, which was not something I was familiar with at the time, but am now acutely aware of anytime I look at this doll (which is a daily event because he's sitting on a shelf nearby.) I should really check out his content sometime just to see what it's all about.

>bubblegum is girlish
If someone's at the point where they are genuinely ascribing gender roles to foods, you can safely discount any opinion they have on anything at all, forever.

>>39331501
I was asking about the blonde pigtail doll, not the Kaworu clone doll.

>>39324652
>there's a lot of women here presumably
lol no this is the vinyl thread, maybe you're thinking of the resin one on /toy/

>>39333690
Iunno, I have a bias that mostly girls really like dollfies and guys are more into azone and the like. These threads have really changed over the course of years and feels like not only the type of dolls but the nature of the posts have changed.

>>39334586
In my experience it's largely a woman-dominated hobby, but when men are present, they're usually on the vinyl side of things. I think it's pretty evenly split if you really look, though.

Night, dollanons.

>>39297889
That looks too fancy to be a volks set, so it's probably some long sold out dealers set from a niche japanese maker. Those are almost impossible to track down in the wild unless you get lucky and find it secondhand, unfortunately.
>>39333690
Speak for yourself, I am happily amassing an anime based shota army.

Is there even that big of a difference between resin and vinyl other than price point and status?

>>39324652
i do this more with flannels that i do my hoodies, but i've done it before. i live in the midwest and never had anyone call me out on it being feminine. tho, it's enough work for me to keep the girls looking good in their outfits, let alone dress myself in anything but a band/anime tshirt, blue jeans and flannel shirt so im probably not the best when it comes to fashion questions.
>>39340142
this is why i love everyone here. we all have our dreams.

>>39340538
forgot obligatory pic

>>39340142
What body are you using? Finding male bodies is a nightmare for me.

>>39340558
I love your doll, anon.

>>39340431
There's difference in how they're maintained and what is and isn't possible with each as far as posing. Other than that it's like getting mad and saying an electric car isn't a car because the engine is different. The aesthetic is the only other difference. Vinyl is very anime influenced and resin is not.

>>39344486
The last point I think is what matters most, specially for the divide. Although rather than an attribute of the material, it's just where different styles have landed.

>>39343384
MDD body + male torso

>>39344802
Getting male parts is the difficult part for me. Is there someone who makes aftermarket flat chests for M/DDs? Like how people make peach pais and whatnot. I'd pay good money for 'em.

>>39344486
>Vinyl is very anime influenced and resin is not
Judging from the offline meets and marketing it seems resin is more popular in the west, and the reverse in japan.

>>39345629
That's actually quite surprising to me. I would've thought it was the other way around. I haven't been to any events or meetups though. I'm looking forward to VolksUSA's next Dolpa as I missed the last one.

>>39345121
Yes, but they're sold out and 2nd hand market is fierce. There is a silicone equivalent, however:

Does anyone own a Pure Neemo character doll here? I’m planning to get one, Miriam from Assault Lily, and wanted to know how the head is constructed. Is it rooted hair or a wig and is there a headcap I can take off to move those doll eyes? Are the eyes swappable?

>>39356844
From what I understand talking to my friends and looking at my own doll (sugarcups Chocolala), if the eyes are inset, then the hair tends to be rooted.

>>39357859
Is it still possible to open the head when it’s rooted?

No, the eyes on Pure Neemo are painted on, and the hair is punched into the top of the head one strand at a time. That said, you can buy blank faces with no hair, and customize them as you see fit -- but generally if you want to swap the eyes and hair, you're better off getting a small Obitsu girl instead.

>>39361998
…The one I’m about to buy in my post has inset eyes (okay maybe it’s technically another line but they’re all Pure Neemo dolls)

>>39340142.
based shota enjoyer. I bought these two last summer and they're adorable.

>>39364067
If the Azone or obitsu doll has inset eyes they will most likely have a detachable head cap that has rooted hair. Usually obitsu fullset character dolls will come with an additional hairless cap that can be put on the doll so she can wear wigs. I think obitsu sells the hairless caps too but I’m not sure. If the doll has painted eyes the head will be all one piece with hair rooted into the scalp.

>>39364067
Uhh just wanted to add I’m talking about 1/6 -1/12 if you’re getting a 1/4 size doll and the eyes are inset then the doll will come with a hairless head cap with a wig, if the 1/4 has painted eyes it will sometimes be rooted but not always. I know a lot of Azone character dolls with painted eyes that are not rooted but come with a wig. Hope this helps.

God I love the beret, capelet and shorts combo on a shota, it's god tier. Almost as good as sailor fits. I own pic rel, I cannot resist a bishounen take on Alice in wonderland.

>>39366488
They have sailor shirts underneath!

Hey anons, who are some good resin companies with anime-style aesthetics? Especially if they sell just the heads. I have some plans for hybriding in my future.

>>39378121
SQLabs is the only one that comes to mind. I know some more are starting to do the anime style, try asking in the /toy/ thread as it's mostly resin people over there.

this made my day, thanks anon.

Hey, same person looking to re-home two dollfies, a Mayu and a Kaede. Lots of outfits, cases, stands, etc. Make a competitive offer and they'll be sent to you. I will pay for shipping in the contiguous USA.

>>39392023
Do you have a ballpark figure in mind? Are you selling as a lot or willing to separate the items out? If you have trouble moving them, try posting to ebay or mercari.

>>39397139
You can email me if you are interested. You'd essentially be getting a doll for free with the price I have in mind.

For anyone else, no, Kaede is not going at a inflated price. Really a bit above msrp.

>>39408302
I would, but I'm broke right now after getting an SD boy earlier this year, else I'd jump at the offer. Good luck anon!

>>39408557
Yeah I understand. Honestly I'd do 1600 for everything. If anyone has something close to that they would like to throw out there, just lemme know.

I've just hit a point where it's time to move on, my life doesn't permit me to enjoy them as I once did, they've sat in their cases since 2019 at this point.

Anyone know where I can find cute shoes like these? Thanks in advance.

I love dolls with tails and ears.

>>39410377

>>39408638
Oh how much would you sell kaede takagaki for? Like other anon I'm too broke to afford for everything

>>39378121
i have seen some on alice collection before.

These seem similar to what you are looking for. You are welcome in advanced.

>>39421535
Thank you anon!

Same doll re-home anon. After finding all of my invoices, as well as logging into the Volks site and finding missing ones, I was way off with my price. Make an offer and they're out the door to you if we are in agreement. I'd prefer for it all to be all out of the way at once honestly. Didn't mean to come off as a scalper.

powerhouseneet@gmail.com

I bought some new clothes for my doll. Now she comfy.

>>39439458
She's cute, anon! I like that sofa as well.

Sadly, I'm gonna have to sell off some dollfies. Should I bother putting up the ad on ebay since I already have an account there?

>>39446226
ebay can sell well, as can mercari if you're in the us or japan. instagram and facebook marketplace are also an option if you're on social media. what are you planning on selling?

>>39446226
There are a few better market places than Ebay, dolldreaming (though you have to reach a post limit before they'll let you), Instagram has a few hashtags for doll sales and Facebook groups are good avenues to sell. Ebay takes a lot in fees now, and you may have a harder time getting what you'd want in terms of price.

>>39446367
>>39446376
Ad is up, at this point I want a quicker and easier sale than anything. It's a Marisa DDS, no idea if the price is reasonable or not I've been out of anything doll related for like three years.

Set up some Easter props and took a couple photos (2) today. I hope to take more tomorrow and Sunday if I don't feel too shitty after work.

And the second. Hopefully I'll have more to share tomorrow.

>>39448437
>>39448441
These are super cute anon! I hope you had fun taking them, as well.

>>39448437
>>39448441
Adorable! I love the set up for them!

>>38994179
any decent 3d printable dolls preferably loli shaped

>>39409520
I cannot even fathom how anyone can be so lacking in fashion sense to have put this outfit together, holy shit

(no offense intended to you anon, the shoes are cute, I know the styling wasn't your decision lol)

>>39461101
There's been quite a bit of this from Volks recently. I used to kinda like a few outfits every new outfit collection but it's been a while since I've had that happen.

>>39464389
>>39461101
I own this outfit. It's great for pieces, together it makes my doll look like like a jrpg mascot fairy in the worst way. There is a wholly superfluous zipper under that sweater and it comes with a bunny hood they wisely left off in this promo photo because it's way too much.

Do you guys fuss around a lot with the eyes? Is there a faster way to fix them rather than putty?

I'm trying out eyes and their positions, but I've been at it for a while. Especially when changing the eyes and I have to remove the putty and fix the new eye with it.

Snapped a quick phone pic of kaede from rehome anon. I spent forever trying to get her outfit right. Hats off to volks advertising for being able to make them look so perfect.

>>39492051
I used to fuss with them a lot but I don't really anymore, partially due to what you're talking about here, having to use putty to fix them. I did swap out the eyes of one of my girls the other week though and it made a ton of difference so maybe I should do it more often.

>>39496535
Did you grab her? If so, congrats.

I want a doll.

>>39496974
Then buy one.

>>39496974
What kind of doll would you like, anon?

>>39497114
Can't, I'm a poornigger.
>>39498614
A big beautiful expensive doll of Yukari Yakumo.

>>39502468
Try and save up a bit at a time. I used to think I'd never be able to be part of this hobby as well.

>>39512128
I like your composition, anon.

>>39505117
Also, its not the initial price of the doll that will get you, its the clothes. Oh god the clothes.

>>39516291

But isn't this issue caused by the thinness of the vinyl and the light traveling through it and taking a reddish hue and then hitting/ entering the acrilic eyes' domed surface (sorry if this sounds so convoluted)? Maybe using paperweight low dome glass eyes might reduce the problem (acrylic eyes have a transparent dome and the iris and pupil are printed on a piece of paper that is placed behind the dome). Generally using eyes that do not have such a high dome, eyes that have the iris "on top" of an opaque sclera or eyes that have a clear dome that doesn't cover an opaque sclera might be a solution, if my theory is correct. Maybe you could try to block the light from going through the vinyl into the eyes somehow?
I found a German website that sells miniature handmade glass eyes without dome (they're called figure eyes).

>>39409520
Either Volks USA or Volks International should have them (as well as the rest z the outfit) , if they're still in stock.

>>39558750
These are the glass eyes I mentioned, starting at a 4 mm size:

Im very new to the hobby, what type of Dollfie Dream head/face is this? At the beginning I only liked MDD anime style face/head but now I really like that type of face too

Can any type of Dollfie body have any type of Dollfie head or not? Like can a MDD have this face too or it would look weird??

>>39572166
Like this too

>>39572166
Or this one too, I like it a lot.

>>39572166
>Like can a MDD have this face too or it would look weird
faceup has a huge impact on how a sculpt looks, and (hair) framing has a huge impact on how a faceup looks
so yes, but it may take a bit of experimentation to figure out what "works" for you
as for what particular sculpts these are uhhhh someone else will have to help you with that

>>39572172
Will she eat that poor bird?

no one told me this existed

>>39572172
That one is most likely DD Luka Megurine. She was a limited release because she is based off of a character, so she can be difficult and expensive to obtain. I'm unsure about the first one, but the third image is possibly a custom DDH-03. The heads might look a little strange on an MDD body, but you might like them. Don't be afraid to experiment!

>>39572872
>>39572877
>>39572887
Who is this cutie?

>>39573084
Sorry guys I think I didn't make myself clear, what I'm saying is that, I know there are like certain types of heads that Volks makes for Dollfie Dream but like, each of them is thought to be for certain type of Dollfie Doll? Despite the fact that you can use them in the entire line, are they made in mind with DDS-head DD-head, like that?

>>39573084

>>39517097
As someone that just dropped 60k on doll clothes, can confirm.

>>39573235
The only real distinction is between the 1/4 and 1/3 sculpts. If it's for the 1/3 bodies (DDS, DD, DDDY) they have deeper recesses for the neck at the bottom of the head. Say you get a custom DDH09, it'll look proportional to any of the 1/3 bodies. Is this more in line with what you're asking?

>>39573477
>DDH09
Yes yes yes, that's exactly what I was asking.
Now I have to dive deeper into the numeration and which one is for what type but I wanted to make sure of that. thank youu

>>39283994
damn, gorgeous.

>>39573474
That skirt looks so comfy. I want to go to a doll convention to get some clothes my daughter deserves but have been too shy to so far and resort to online or in store purchases.

>>39573474
>60k
y-yen, right?

>>39573794
Doll conventions are only held in Japan and USA right?
Is the American one worth going?

The USD/JPY has been sitting nice and pretty so now is a pretty good time to get in on those doll clothing imports.

This may be something already done/brought up but I pop in and out of /jp/ only a handful of times a year. Has anyone made a /jp/ dolls calendar project? Could have each month be open to be claimed by an anon who provides a photo and info about their doll they want to share etc. Could be made as a printable pdf for 2023 etc.

>>39576166
That hasn't been done! It sounds cool.

I like that idea!
