Maybe...DDH-05? You can search Yahoo Japan auctions for custom DD heads and you might find one that works for the look you want. Otherwise, you can buy a blank head and commission the faceup.

From there all you need is a body, clothes, eyes, and wig and you're done! You can browse the options at Volks' US store

What are the heads on the left and the right respectively? These are custom molds from limited models?

If I hate something about DD is the jews at volks and the lack of decent heads. I'm not going to buy a fucking 1000$ doll to get a head I like.

>> No.11258445

>>11258362

The one on the left is a DDH-06 basic model, the middle one is a custom and the one on the right is a Volks' limited image character Akira. The 06 head is very pretty and popular, so they're easy to come by!

>> No.11258476 [DELETED] 

>>11258445
Indeed, 06 looks nice especially with a good make-up. What's the average price I should expect for already done head with make-up? Or is it better if I but the basic head and they send it to an artist (which I have no idea about). Looking at yahoo japan they have fairly decent heads for about 5-7k JPY.

With a custom make-up you have more control over what you want, but there's always the fuss of finding a decent artist, shipping the head back and forth and all that. I paid like $50 for a blank head and $30 for the makeup, so that is a bit cheaper than what pre-done heads usually go for, too, but a bit more trouble.

>>11258481
Heads from limited models can run a few hundred. If you're just buying a body to go with the head, then it is a reasonable deal for a LE doll.

Pre-painted heads are usually around 100 USD. But popular and well-known artists charge a bit more. For example, Ronronshuka heads can sometimes be as much as a limited edition doll's head.

Check Mandarake for reasonable deals as well.
