Blu-Tac or UHU White Tac work. a strip of tape, failing that, until you get something more secure.

Is the putty dried out? You can try rehydrating it in a one or two tsp of water for a few hours (or overnight if its really dry) then work the putty with your hands to incorporate the water into it to soften it back to its original state.

Otherwise just get some new stuff.

Hey bros. Where does the doll community hang out online these days? I used to like seeing the doll community on Twitter.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44221271
I'm honestly unsure. Some have migrated back to tumblr, instagram and facebook seem popular, and there are discords. For vinyl collectors, I think the Doll Dreaming forum might be the most popular, now. For resin collectors, Den of Angels has always been the biggest doll forum. For me personally... I just come here. (An anon also made a Telegram for this thread, though I haven't personally used it.) Some have suggested making a discord for this, others have spoken against it in concern that their insular nature will cause drama, or that it will inadvertently supersede this thread. As a result, I haven't made one -- I am ambivalent on the matter, personally. I also believe the BJD subreddit has some activity -- I have not used it much, but many consider it a resource in the identification of dolls from untagged photos and bootleg listings. Overall, things have always been spread out, and the current twitter situation has not helped matters.

I have those exact hands, and while I use them occasionally, the posts don't fit tight (you can thicken them up to make them work), and the articulation isn't very sturdy. I'm looking at trying the internal frame ones, but it'll be a while before I do, I have other priorities.

Yes, kinda. They'll hold them up if the palm is doing most of the supporting or it's very, very light. The fingers have very little resistance, so any weight they try to support won't really work. Here's a zoomed in old picture when I first got them. If you look at her right hand, I had to curl the pinkie under the camera body and bring in the other hand to support the camera as the fingers and thumb wouldn't hold it. I have another pic.

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

I do use them in gloves a lot, as the gloves kinda help with a lot of the shortcomings. So here you can see while they'll hold pose and pinch something, I still had to use the arm of the sunglasses to support them on the wrist of the doll. One more pic;

[Anonymous No.]

>>44241151
If you balance things in the hands they'll stay there. The soda can still has to be balanced on one of the fingers, but since that's doing the "lifting" the other fingers will hold it. I hope this all makes sense. I'm not trying to discourage you, just let you know what you're getting and how it'll perform.

They are wired, because the wire is so thin it just isn't very strong.

What shopping services are recommended for buying bjd heads from YJA? I tried Buyee before but their fees are KILLER.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44247220
Haven't bought a head off YJA in a couple of months but I've gotten them all using FromJapan. Don't really remember how much the fees were, it was the shipping that was killer. Never really used Buyee so hopefully some other Anons can chime in.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44247220
I use J-subculture personally. They'll work just fine for YJA. I believe From Japan has the highest limit you can spend before getting banks involved, as I used them once to import a Volks release I missed. For in-person service such as Dream Choice, as well, I believe White Rabbit Japan offers this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44247220
I found Buyee and FJ equal in costs. Buyee's higher fees balance out with FJ because Buyee offers a "Buyee Air Delivery" shipping option where they choose the cheapest between DHL and FedEx. With FJ, unless I wanted to wait for weeks, my only option was EMS which is always the priciest of the expedited shipping options.

I'm in the US so I know my experience with shipping costs will differ from those in EU.

I've spent some time with my new Imomodoll, and she has some strengths and some weaknesses I'd like to share.

Imomodoll Rating
aesthetics:
build quality:
value:
overall:

Imomodoll offer an incredibly affordable gateway into the hobby, with dolls on their taobao retailing for a fraction of the cost of a similarly-sized Dollfie Dream or Obitsu. In spite of those strengths, however, they suffer from poor engineering and an ability to attract stains which boggles the mind. They seem to combine the design flaws in every older Obitsu body with the frustrating hips of a DD-f3 frame, with a vinyl shell that spins around the frame freely and an internal skeleton that all but requires some form of tape, glue, or other treatment to hold together during even delicate redressing. A silicone washer is used to hold the head on the neck peg: this does not work worth a damn, and it's very easy for the heads to do their best Exorcist routine as it works its way loose again. The body is also prone to stains to a degree which sincerely confuses me: I do not even know where these smudges have come from, as I haven't even attempted to dress the doll yet. And yet the stains remain all along the arm joints and chest, for reasons I cannot comprehend. For those concerned about staining, a body-suit is an absolute must! But in spite of these shortcomings, Imomodoll offer a variety of body types and skintones that just can't be found from any other company, with the bonus of charming anime styling and even molded hair, which I know some here have expressed an interest in. As well, I have heard that there is a V2 of their 40cm body which addresses and improves many of these issues, which is a heartening fact worth investigating! Overall, I tentatively recommend Imomodoll to experienced doll owners unafraid to break out the hot glue gun. Newcomers can certainly pick one up, so long as they understand, and are okay with, the knowledge that these dolls need extra TLC to really shine.

I will get a V2 body at my earliest convenience- and as well, I have several of their male bodies on preorder, and will report back about them as soon as I am able. I hope the anons here find this overview helpful!

I usually don't mind stains -- I have a lot of janky older bodies I like to try and fix up -- but I don't even know what I DID with this one! I am baffled beyond belief where the stains even came from.

Oh wow, what's the name of these dolls?

[Anonymous No.]

>>44266187
I'm gonna get one of their V2 bodies ASAP before I give a definitive answer of their quality, but I can say the V1 body I have has forced me to go buy upholstery foam. I'm going to stuff the vinyl and see if that makes it... less how it is. As it stands right now, this girl cannot SIT without actively shoving her in place. Again, I don't mind, because I've been repurposing ancient-ass Obitsu bodies for years now, and I'm used to messing around with them. But I'd hate for this to be someone's first experience with dolls, because the vinyl spinning around on the frame is frustrating.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44260977
I'm surprised to hear about stains. My Imomo still hasn't developed any stains despite me putting it into various dark clothing, but mines is in chocolate color, so perhaps the lighter toned ones stain more easily? I have a V2 frame of the 1/6 Imomodoll and it's very stable other than the right leg falling off the hip ball on an occasion due to the poor way the vinyl was cut on there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44271085
Maybe it's another problem with the V1 bodies! Or maybe my 40cm girl is just... a special case. But that's okay, she's very cute so I'll put up with a lot.

They are vinyl. I think the V2 bodies address many of the issues I'm experiencing, and if so, I will report back on if, and how much, they've improved. I have a Ruby with a faceup from Jane's Doll Land and she's very cute, I have to admit. Despite the fact that her body is my nightmare... she's cute and that accounts for a lot!

Colors are great. For low-light, a tripod and a cable shutter release are mandatory to get images to come out crisp and to control the length of the exposure. You're doing good work! Don't be afraid to let the image be dark as hell and selectively light it with LEDs, glowsticks, or something else. Also, there's a slow-exposure photography technique known as "light painting" that's great for stationary subjects like this. Look into it, you might find some inspiration or tricks there to further develop these photos into the image you want to see. I really appreciate the passion you put into these photoshoots, and I look forward to seeing more from you.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44274550
Thank you, I'm between tripods right now as my last one was an amazon basic that gave up the ghost, but I'll definitely get one before trying again. I watched a photographer in a video using a low iso and aperture and higher shutter speed get good photos and tried to copy his style. It worked OK, but these three were the best three. I should try the light painting in the future, I didn't even think about it, but it makes total sense to do it with a doll since they don't move. lol

It means the tires have a negative camber, or in layman's, are angled inward. A degree or two is normal and improves handling. Stancing puts them at closer to 45, which 1, lowers the car significantly and 2, makes them look fucking retarded.

Hi there everyone. I found this thread the other day browsing /jp/ and after reading the new guide and youtube vids I have grown greatly interested in BJDs. Specifically in sewing clothes for them.
The trouble i'm having is where do I start with sewing? I basically no knowledge of it and was wondering where should I start if I want to make clothes? Any recommended books or vids for beginners or should I just look into sewing in general?

[Anonymous No.]

>>44302798
Sewing for dolls is a bit difficult since it's a scale so small that you need to be pretty precise, but it uses the same skills as sewing for people so regular sewing resources will work just fine. The OP actually has a ton of sewing patterns of various skill levels, some can be done by hand quite easily! A bonus of practicing on doll clothes though is that you use a lot less fabric so it's not as expensive and you can do multiple tries from smaller pieces of cloth.

Welcome to the hobby, anon! If you're already familiar with sewing, these patterns may be of use to you.

https://mega.nz/folder/iFd3wapa#B70grHUe4xsTkLU_s8Ag_Q

Sewing for dolls is similar to making human clothes, only on a much smaller scale. It's very detail-oriented as a result -- each stitch matters more, fit tolerance is much more strict, and proportions overall may be more exaggerated. But because it's a smaller scale, you can make some truly incredible works on a much more affordable budget if you so desire. Or, you can put your dolls in a tube dress made of a sock, which is an age-old tradition at this point. Whatever you do, please drop by from time to time and show us!

It's says it's limited to 10, which is bullshit. They're probably planning a second set of preorders like they did with Shinku, and keeping the numbers low each time on purpose to drive up demand. I think I'll just stick with the Suigintou I put together, I just need to commission a better version of her outfit because the one I bought is just so-so.

A pink wig for the head I ended up choosing, which is a 5" one. Either with twintails or that I can style into medium length twintails so anything that you could call "long" would suffice.
I'm not picky with the hue either, I'm okay with anything from bubblegum pink to this kind of tone.
I found one matching that on etsy but it's mohair and I'm not sure that will fit with the very clearly synthetic hair my other doll has.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44317582
Dollmore has some but they're very stiff and not very pose-able(each wing only has a single axis of movement) - I can't recommend them. The wings on that doll are cool as hell, I would also like to know where to get wings like that.

It's not you, finding anything is impossible anymore. Google sucks even with advanced search operators, etsy no longer respects advanced search operators, half the reason I can find anything is having already bought from them, or made a note of them. This is partially why I've started QnA google doc -- with the internet going sideways and search engines becoming useless because of overly aggressive SEO, it's more useful to just create a directory ourselves.

[Anonymous No.]

Volks sells some, and Dollmore sells some, but 1/3 furniture tends to be quite expensive! A good alternative is to go to the store and look at what's available for 18" dolls -- the scale is hit or miss, but seating tends to be good enough. Brands include American Girl, My Life As, and Journey Girl. Vintage AG stuff is worth its weight in gold, and collectors know it. For mass-market modern stuff, I personally hold the opinion that Journey Girl props tend to be a bit better than the others, but it really varies between sets. As well, vintage wooden furniture "salesman samples" can sometimes be found for a good price at thrift stores, goodwill, and online. Gardening centers also sometimes have miniature furniture meant to be used as stands for planters, but a tiny chair is a tiny chair. Look around -- I'm sure there's something that will work for you in your area.

doll bros, how do you do their make up?
It seems to be the key to making a doll go from uncanny to "WOW"

[Anonymous No.]

>>44331991
I don't personally do faceups, but like any other form of art, practice is key. Research what tools you will need, get a head to practice on, watch videos of how others do them, and start trying. Your first faceups will suck! That's okay. That's normal. Keep going until you get something you can be satisfied with, and if that takes a while don't beat yourself up over it. This is a skill that takes time to develop and to understand what works and what doesn't, both for the style you want and for you, personally, as the creator. With time, you will figure out what you're doing. And when that day comes, come back and show the thread. It doesn't have to be perfect, either. There's a sense of satisfaction that surely comes from having helped personally bring your doll to life.

I don't have any faceup tutorials handy at the moment, as I'm away from my home PC -- if another anon does, I think I will add a section for them to the QnA, because I feel it would be a good topic to cover. I believe Jadepixel may have a tutorial on them? All the best, anon!

The process is usually like sealant coat, sketch base in something light, usually watercolor pencils in light brown, blushing, sealant layer, going over the sketch in something darker, usually acrylic in dark brown/black, additional details, sealant layer. You're supposed to seal after every step that might interfere with the layer underneath (like the watercolor layer can't be painted over unsealed or it will wash off or smear) so you might need to seal more times. I really like this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haly8bklmEg for their process, their dolls are super cute too

It wasn't what I was expecting at all. The things I was looking forward to the most was doing her hair/outfits, falling asleep cuddling with her, and using her as sex doll.
Styling the wig is frustrating and I can never get it to do what I want it to do or stay in place. Changing her clothes usually messes the wig too.
I don't really get much from cuddling a cold doll.
I don't like the amount of effort it takes to clean her after using her. I usually just masturbate normally or do something easy to clean like a thighjob or buttjob.
I do enjoy shopping for cute outfits for her though.

[Anonymous No.]

i wish i had doll friends irl u_u or even online. i know thsi hobby has a pretty sizeable online community but it would be fun to get together with a friend and show each other our dolls, shop for clothes/wigs online together, take pics of our dolls, etc. i sound like a total loner but that seems so fun. the few friends i have that know about my bjd/doll hobby think its silly, especially when i tell them the cost and exclusivity of bjds. i just think dolls and the joy, beauty and creativity they bring into peoples lives should be shared

[Anonymous No.]

>>44348339
Have you considered one of those fabric dolls anon? I've heard they're better for cuddling with, and they can have inserts to hold onas. For styling her hair, definitely do that once the outfit's done, and look into some products specifically for wigs. Gel, mousse, low-temp curling irons (for heat-resistant fiber only!), combs and brushes... look into cosplay wig tutorials and see what they do, and if you can apply it to your doll's routine, maybe? Dealing with hair can be annoying, I get you anon. You can try looking for pre-styled wigs as well if she's big enough for cosplay supplies, they tend to be set with glue... it's not as nice and soft, but for specific styles it's a life-saver.

For clothes, look for tie-ons/button-downs and other things you can put on without having to mess around with the head, it will help cut down on the amount of mishaps as well. Bikinis, zippered clothing, bodysuits, robes, anything you can slide on from the bottom is your friend here.

As for her being cold, one thing I read about some anons doing is keeping their doll under an electric blanket before cuddle-time so she warms up to something similar to body temp. That might help make you more comfortable in bed together. Or during other activities, I would imagine.

And for cleanup, maybe a handheld shower wand might help flush things out? I've heard of using an aquarium pump to help dry after the fact, as well as those drying sticks and microfiber cloth+chopsticks. I can't imagine it's an easy process at any case, they seem quite heavy. i suggest... there's something called a shower chair, they are a mobility/assisted living aid, quite sturdy and easy to find at any walmart. Investing in one might help with leverage and cleaning after the fact. I hope you can make things work, I know how expensive they are and even if I do not personally have an interest in these dolls, I do admire how photogenic some of them can be. All the best, anon.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44348407
Kinda. I didn't want a life sized one, so I went for one that's 100cm/3.3ft tall. And like I said, I don't really use it for its intended purpose, so I probably would have gotten more joy out of a BJD even if she just sat on my desk looking cute.

>>44348477
Nah, sex dolls just aren't for me. I wouldn't buy another one.
I did get a pre-styled wing as a 4th wig, and that's pretty much what I use 99% of the time.
There's a doll discord I joined and I've seen pictures of anons having their doll's skin melt under a heated blanket so I wouldn't try that.
I do use a shower head and aquarium pump, but still the effort to clean it isn't worth it to me. Having to carry her to the shower, getting her all flushed out, drying her off, letting the pump dry her insides, then having to reapply powder to keep her from being sticky and collecting dirt and staining... It's just way easier using my hand and calling it a night.

I have a decent job so it's not the end of the world but she's definitely my biggest case of buyers remorse.

[Anonymous No.]

>3ft
Off yeah that litterally the hardest size to get clothes for

[Anonymous No.]

>>44348705
A lot of these problems seem to stem from the size and material, I've never heard anything good about silicone dolls.... they're sticky and need a lot of maintenance and they deteriorate faster... they deteriorate if you pose them, and the size you got isn't a standard doll size so it's hard to clothe her (even then, silicon dolls are hard to dress because of the friction)

Clothing hasn't really been an issue for me. I prefer cute over sexy, and have managed to find a ton of $1-2 outfits at goodwill. But yeah I didn't expect the amount of maintenance/effort it took to keep a doll in good shape until after I bought it. Takes more effort to clean than it does my dog.

I believe it's not so great for the faceup. As for other places, some saliva will probably get on her but it's okay, especially if you give her small kisses. I kiss mine mostly on her hair or clothes, and sometimes on her face, she's been doing fine.

Assuming you've asked in good faith, hello anon and welcome to the thread for ball-jointed dolls. Unlike the dolls of /ona/, these dolls are not able to be penetrated without irreversible damage taking place (and were one to do so anyway, it would undoubtedly be unpleasant if not actively harmful to the person performing the act.)

Do they make ball jointed lovedolls as well? One of the issues that full sized lovedolls have is they can't be posed for any long length of time which supposedly would result in damage. The more amount of time you can keep them in the default position the better. If they made lovedolls with ball joints, that may be much better but I suppose the bane of ball jointed dolls is the distracting unrealistic look.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44354737
Some people are into the joints, so I've been told. There are 60cm lovedolls, but I believe they, as well, have silicone/tpe bodies with the same strengths and weaknesses that larger dolls have. Some people have modified onaholes to make a hybrid torso ona with doll parts, but it requires a lot of work and isn't very durable even if you do so. There are near-to and life-size ball-jointed dolls, but they would require modification for your purposes similar to the aforementioned onahole mods- and posing them is its own challenge for similar weight-related reasons. There is no easy answer to your question, unfortunately.

How does Mandarake react to cancelling orders?

They really are artful, I admire a ton of resin sculptors even if I own comparatively fewer resin dolls compared to vinyl.

>>44356205
It's possible to win, even to get deals, but in most cases you will be outbid... I've made peace with it over the years, even if there are a few dolls I regret allowing to 'slip away'.

[Anonymous No.]

>>44356221
Honestly, I'm not that mad about being outbid. The other head has way fewer bids so fingers crossed on that one.

[Anonymous No.]

How do you anons keep your wigs nice while doing shit with them? Mine keeps getting all tangled up unless I'm constantly brushing it out.

My first time taking her out of the house. I should do this more often.

anybody know where the head of this doll is from? seen it a couple of times, but I couldn't find it

[Anonymous No.]

>>44357669
I could be wrong but I think that's an Obitsu 50-01, the eye shape is pretty distinct but the nose is much sharper on that head so maybe it was sanded down?

So... what's the trick? Bidding last 10 seconds like Ebay?

[Anonymous No.]

>>44357791
Nah, they have snipe guards in place specifically to prevent that from happening on YJA. If you bid in the last few minutes, +5 minutes is added to the timer, ad infinitum until bidding stops. The strat is to bid around the last ten minutes and hope no one else wants that head. Also, bid in unusual increments! People tend to use round numbers like 00, 50, (also 99) -- don't do that. Instead of bidding $50, bid something like 51.68 or something -- those extra few cents seriously make a difference. Finally, have a target price in mind, an expanded budget, and a hard limit + 1. That is, have the amount you'd like to pay (less is better,) the amount you can comfortably go up to, and a limit you refuse to go over, +1 more hail-mary bid if it's +/- a certain figure (say, $5.) Auctions are fun, but if you aren't strict with yourself, those bids add up quickly. Shop carefully, anons, and may your competition have bad connections. (This happened to me once. Still not over it.)

It's a slippery slope isn't it anons

[Anonymous No.]

>>44357892
It absolutely is. Take time, refine your idea, and remember that you will need more shoes, eyes, clothes, and wigs every time you get a doll. Helps keep things in perspective. (Won't stop you from getting more, though.)

Like other anons said the yellowing probably is not a big deal. Vinyl in particular is pretty resistant to yellowing. In addition, I find that most Japanese sellers (especially mandarake) tend to overstate damages on items, and I wouldn't be surprised if they listed yellowing purely because of her age and not because any discoloring is noticeable.

I think she's going to be gorgeous and you won't notice anything wrong with her.

Hell I've bought expensive accessories from second hand stores in Japan that were listed 80% off retail as "badly damaged" and all I had to do was spend 5 minutes with some leather balm to make them look brand new.

By constantly brushing them. Most of my time spent changing my dolls clothing/eyes/pose involves wig brushing.

Is it. Only wanted two at the beginning, then I ended up with five. Swore I wouldn't go over five and now I've got a sixth one coming it. On top of all the accessoires you want.
But every active hobby is kind of a slippery slope I guess. If you feel like your collection really gets out of hand you can always start selling things.

I'd like to get one more and bring my total up to three, after that I want to invest in clothes and when I get a house, furniture and props. I'd like to build something like this, I think it's super cool.

I was just pondering the other day how this particular Miku is probably the worlds most famous individual bjd. Her pics turn up on other boards and there's a few short videos of her with over a million views

[Anonymous No.]

>>44365994
What's the story on this Miku? Why does she look so adorably autistic?

[Anonymous No.]

>>44372147
something about this miku BJD being a custom doll and the creator just happened to make it look uncanny, yet endearing to some people. I used to be freaked out about it but it's been growing on me.
That's a very basic and hazy information so someone else can expand more.

ironically just had kind of the opposite happen to me (ebay, camera lens)
after I bought it, seller messaged me saying it didn't come with all the accessories in the pictures and asking if that was okay (hell no that's specifically why I bought it)
