      Our Custom Mayu Mini Dollfie Dream is done! We made all her clothes and accessories! She was our first female face up we’ve ever done! We finished our Kiyoteru’s head and face up a few months ago and we’re waiting for his body to arrive so we can’t wait to start making his outfit! We dyed her hair with rit dyemore. Took like 4 hours. Next dollfies to make whenever we can afford to start them is Oliver, Gumi, Fukase and Dex.    Mayu is a DDH-10 Head

      I got an Obitsu 50-05 head last month(currently getting a face up). I was in need of a body for her. I originally was planing to get an old Obitsu body just for the frame and replace the outer shell parts with Angelphilia outer parts. But Parabox is no longer restocking the old bodies. But I got lucky and found out a site selling the newest version. The plan was still the same, until yesterday when I got the body and open it. The new body is so beautiful in person and perfect as it is. The original body came with the medium bust, the metal standing plate, and the fist hands. I order the large bust separately because I cannot function if my dolls have tiny boobs LOL. For now I have no desire to replace any of the outer parts with angelphilia outer parts because I like how the body look a lot. It’s so much visually appealing that the old version.

      Congrats! You can check inside of the head and see if the details look clean and sharp - modern Volks heads have a logo stamp and a number or name inscribed, typically. However a very old dollfie like Chinatu could have a rougher interior without those details so it's better to confirm against the same sculpt if possible. Honestly I don't think YoSD get recast much if at all, and it's likely to be more rare/sought after versions that are recast anyway, so with the correct headplate I think you've likely got a legit doll. Resin dolls will yellow with age, but it can happen more quickly and unevenly with sunlight/UV exposure. Extreme temperature changes can age resin as well. One trick I've found with old yellowed resin is that a layer of pan pastel can brighten up the tone and make them look good as new - either white or white with a little lavender mixed in to neutralize yellows. You'd have to follow the same steps as a custom faceup with cleaning, priming with sealant, applying pastel, and then sealing well. But, since the pastel is translucent, you could potentially apply it around an existing faceup without too much difficulty.
