  1. Both are unnamed right now. Say hi! 04 has borrowed a wig and slip dress from my other dolls for this photo. Doing the face up was fun, with the exception of painting eyebrows. It makes me wish humans didn't have eyebrows. Henzel27 (Parabox head) + Obitsu 26 body. I think she looks more like the classic Gretel sculpt than Parabox's Gretel27 does. :'D

    Buying Bodies

    Hi! I'm new here, so I hope this isn't a dumb question. I'm trying to find a way to buy an Obitsu24 body and faceplate. I currently have a YMY22 which I think is pretty close? I found a great seller for those on Etsy! But i'd like to try the Obitsu bodies for a custom I want to do. Also, does Obitsu make faceplates with the empty eye sockets so resin eyes can be placed there or no? I've seen them on instagram, but I wasn't sure if they're made that way or if that's a mod job. Thanks for any help anyone can offer !!!

    Parabox Obitsu RANDOMS - SWF only!!

    Hey everyone!!!! ....I saw these in the other areas but not here yet so I figured I would start one. At the moment my Parabox dolls are my obsession so I love showing them off and taking photos of them! Post any random doll photo you want here! Just keep it SFW (Safe for work!) I will start out with an old photo of my girl Kira ... she is a Himeane Parabox head on a 40cm Parabox/Obitsu body. She dove into a pile of plushies at a convention vendor space. Tsk. Naughty dollie!
  4. Hi everybody! Now that she FINALLY has her wig and glasses, I'm back with another hybrid, one that I consider my personal magnum opus so far. Meet Sinclair! "Hi!" It might be hard to tell from this angle, but Sinclair is a very special hybrid - she's chubby! Like, ACTUALLY chubby. I've been wanting to make a mini-me for a long time, but considering I wear a size L everything, a normal Dollfie Dream or Obitsu just wasn't gonna cut it. I wanted my anime self to be realistic, so I turned to drastic measures: a wacky hybrid of Obitsu, DD, AP, and MDD parts, including a few subtractive mods and a hybrid frame. But more on the build in the next post. First, measurements! Sinclair is 47cm tall from head to foot, putting her at about the same height class as an AP or DDP. Her three measurements: Bust 24 cm, Waist 18 cm, Hip 26 cm. For pants, her thigh circumference is 16 cm, calf circumference is 10.5 cm, and her inseam is 18.5 cm. For shirts, her shoulders to her hips is 13 cm, and her arms are 15.5 cm long from wrist to shoulder. And since I measured it, from her hip to the bottom of her foot is 22.5 cm. Her thickest measurement is around both thighs, with her legs at their default position, and that's a whopping 28 cm! Her thighs are bigger than her hips and it's glorious. Not so glorious is the clothing options - she can only fit shirts that'll support a DD Large bust, but her arms are just slightly too short for tailored DD sleeves. Her thighs only fit SD pants, but even her thick calves drown in them...not to mention she needs like 10 more cm of height to get the fit just right. And her waist fits SD13 pants...and stuff that's intended to sit low on a DD's hips. So that's a no go for most DD pants. So far I've put her in two bottoms from DollDelights, some handmade SD capris, a handmade sweater, and a handmade handkerchief top all from Mandarake, and some SD Girl sized pants from Gavalloni Atelier, which fit nicely if you ignore the horrible fabric bunching at the ankles! Funnily enough, if it weren't for her waist, the official Angel Philia Office Lady pants I have were beautifully fitted on her. Perhaps if I get brave I'll try to make a pattern with them and adjust that. For now though, I'll plan on commissioning some pants and keeping a close eye on DollDelights for more cute stuff she can wear! Because this skirt is lovely. Her head is a DDH07, with a faceup and eyes by ねこまっしぐら (Neko Masshigura), and she has on a pair of Volks Jewelry Box glasses and a Dallas Doll Co wig. She uses DD hands and Obitsu 50 feet, my favorite hands and feet. The hybrid's got a pretty good color match - the only noticeable mismatch in tones is her shins, which have a pinker undertone than the rest of her. It barely shows up in photos, and is only really bad in person when she's in sunlight, so I don't mind it. The only major bummer about her is that she can't sit, due to a quirk in her construction that I'll get into. I'm not sure if that's something I'll ever be able to fix, either. We'll see.
  5. Hello members, I recently acquired an Obitsu 60cm body along with a head I've been searching for. Unfortunately, the seller insisted on selling the head and body together, leaving me with no choice but to purchase the entire set. The part that allows for attaching a Volks head is broken, and I'm in need of guidance on where to find a suitable replacement. If anyone has suggestions or knows where I can acquire a new neck peg, I would be immensely grateful. I don’t know anything about Obitsu bodies and I might sell it fast but if I can replace the neck peg easily I will maybe keep if after all. Thank you 🙏🏻✨
  6. My website host destroyed this post by dropping my images. I'll restore them in the future once I've figured out a reliable way to get them back up. Rules: This topic is intended to be SAFE FOR VIEWING, so there will be NO doll nudity. Thanks! This topic contains writeups for outfits I own that fit well [or not] on MDD, 45, 48/50cm Obitsu-type bodies, including AZO2 and Angel Philia.

Please check with the vendor before you buy! 2024 Update: I no longer own half the outfits here and no longer own any curvy bodies.

The fit will be similar to MDD (M) rather than MDD (S), so watch out on tight fitting garments made specifically for the S bust (Japanese dealer clothes). Tops will run shorter and can sometimes barely cover the waist. Clothes designed for Obitsu 48/50 will run long in the sleeves for tops and longer for bottoms. Tops on Small/Medium Busts (Obitsu S/M, AZO2 C, Angel Philia H2/H/C1/I) On normal sized busts, you have many options. Azone tops fit the best. Short Sleeves - Many MDD tops will fit, but the hem may be short Long Sleeves - Tops designed for Obitsu & Azone will fit the best. Long-sleeved MDD/DDP tops will be too short in the sleeves and may run short in the torso. Besides Azone, LittleWonder carries tops made specifically for Obitsu. (Difference in sleeve length between MDD and Obitsu tops) Tops on Large Busts (Obitsu L, AZO2 G/I, Angel Philia G/C2/C3) Your options are limited since these sizes are too big for most MDD-sized clothing and not sized properly for SD & DD-sized clothing. Most clothing that fits well will be from Azone's AZO2 line. Baggy MDD clothing can sometimes work. LittleWonder also makes clothing for this size. Some DD clothing may fit acceptably if it's sized for SS/S/M, but tops will run long on the torso and wide around the neck and shoulders. Bottoms on Obitsu 48/50 Many MSD/MDD skirts fit readily on these bodies. Besides Azone, LittleWonder makes a line of compatible skirts specifically for Obitsu 48/50. Some MDD shorts fit, but I've found that getting them past the legs is a challenge. Nine9 and TTYA make shorts, but between the two, I've had better luck getting the Nine9 ones up and less luck with the TTYA denim ones. Bottoms on Angel Philia-C Angel Philia C has moderately slim hips but thicker legs. They'll fit into most MSD/MDD skirts, but they'll sit a little bit higher and run a little shorter. No shorts will fit on AP-C. MDD shorts won't pass through the legs unless they're designed for Mochiashi, but DD shorts will be oversized. If your girl wants to wear shorts, avoid this size. Bottoms on AZO2 + Angel Philia H/I Shorts Buy DD-sized shorts. The Azone denim shorts, while simple, are cheap, easy to find and fit well due to their elasticity. TTYA or Nine9 make nice pairs, but they can run tight on Angel Philia. Skirts AZO2 skirts fit the best. They slip up the legs and are just the right waist size. I don't recommend MDD skirts on AZO2 and Angel Philia. Getting them past the legs is tough. They'll be micro-mini length unless that's what you're after. DD-sized skirts will look oversized. Compared to MDD and Azone skirts, they flare out and run considerably wider. Avoid SD-sized skirts. The waist is too wide, so they'll fall down and sit unnaturally low. Shoes (just get Volks MDD shoes) Obitsu feet are advertised as 6cm in size vs 5cm for MDD and 5.5cm for DDP. However, I find that Azone-made shoes run small, despite being made for Obitsu feet. Every pair of Volks MDD shoes I've gotten fits well, especially those that are advertised as fitting both DDP & Mochiashi feet. Non-Volks Shoes made for MDD are hit and miss. (I check the fit on Azone, Volks and other shoes in a dedicated post) Measurements Disclaimer: These measurements were pulled from a mix of sources + my own measurements as a basis for comparison. I don't guarantee their full accuracy. Azone AZO2 Hips: 23.5cm Waist: 14.0cm Bust (C/G/I): 18.75cm/22cm/23cm Arm Length: 15.5cm Thigh Circumference: 14.8cm Angel Philia Hips (H/C): 23.5cm/21.5cm Waist (H/C): 14.0cm/13.8cm Bust (H2/H/C5): 19cm(?)/20cm/21cm Arm Length: 15cm Thigh Circumference (H/C): 15.5cm/13.6cm AP torso numbers run 1cm higher due to a "thick" trunk but are shaped similar to Obitsu S/M/L busts. "C" torsos are close to O50 dimensions and wear most O50/MDD bottoms while "H" torsos wear DD bottoms like AZO2. MDD Hips: 18.5cm Waist: 13.5cm Bust: 15.5cm/17cm/18cm Arm Length: 12cm Thigh Circumference: 11cm (13cm for mochi) Dollbot Hips: 22.0cm Waist: 14.5cm Bust: 17.0cm (S) Arm Length: 12.0cm Thigh Circumference: 13.5cm Azone 45 Hips: 21.0cm Waist: 14.0cm Bust:17.5cm Arm Length: 13.5cm Thigh Circumference: ~12.5cm (estimate) Obitsu 48/50 Hips: 20.0cm Waist: 13.0cm Bust (S/M/L): 17.0cm(?)/18.5cm/20.25cm Arm Length: 15cm Thigh Circumference: 12.8cm Volks DDP Hips: 21.0cm Waist: 13.5cm Bust: 17.5cm Arm Length: 13.5cm <-- (This is MUCH shorter than the Obitsu, so watch out when buying long sleeve shirts that fit a DDP) Thigh Circumference: ???

    Oculae's Hybrid Lab!

    My collection is pretty eclectic, but it's one I'm very proud of! Almost all of my dolls and parts are secondhand, with a couple of very rare exceptions that I'll point out as part of the doll's introduction! And every single one uses parts from other companies. First up is Eiran, my #1 favorite boy! He's a Smartdoll Eiji head in Milk, with a factory faceup that I added to slightly. An extremely lucky secondhand find from a collector on Instagram, who had originally got him directly from the outlet store from what Danny now calls the Chaos section! This head is currently with Synthetic Ephemera for a resin wig commission, so for the time being I'm using an unmodified Suzaku head for him: He was originally on an Obitsu 50 boy body, but another lucky secondhand find let me snag a like-new 55 body from the owner of a closed-down French toy store, which I then added 60cm arms and legs to in order to make a 60 boy. He uses Dollfie Dream, Smartdoll, and Obitsu 65 hands interchangeably depending on what hand pose I want, so depending on which hands he's using, he often reps all 3 major vinyl companies at once! Second is my oldest and most sentimental vinyl, Olive! She is a Gretel47 head (a rare purchase directly from Parabox) with an Azone frankendoll body consisting of the lower half of an AZM3 body, an Azone G bust, and Angel Philia B type arms. The AZM3 abs and the B's buff arms really give her a muscular, outdoorsy look that I love, a vast improvement from the stock Obitsu 50 body I had her on originally. The faceup is my own work, and if she looks a little like Smartdoll's Resilient, that's intentional! I bought her as my first specifically because I really wanted Resilient at the time, but she just financially wasn't doable for me, so I referenced her faceup to make my own! I like Olive a lot more than her inspiration now. ^^ Next is Erato, my demon girl! She's a DDH-01 custom on an Obitsu 50 body! As you can see, she uses DD hands as well. She's a nice low-budget alternative to a DDP, and wears the same size clothing! She's also the first and only resin character I had that I completely reshelled into vinyl when I switched over. Next is Ambrosia, the real owner of that Suzaku head Eiran's borrowing! He's another old character of mine shelled as a doll, and is on what I call my "desperation hybrid" body. When you find an Obitsu 65 torso on Mandarake but only have 60cm limbs available, you make do! I plan on seeing if I can get DD Dynamite thighs to work with the rest of his parts, their thickness would probably save him a bit from his sad "skinny legs" look. Poppy is next, and notable for being my first foray into modding my own heads! I bet you can guess what I did to her. 😉 She's a custom Gretel47 on an Obitsu 40 body with an Angel Philia flat bust. The head and body were purchased direct from Parabox, but the bust wasn't! Last, but certainly not least, is Euphemia, a hybrid with a resin head! She is a Doll Chateau Snowborn head on the old 3-part Obitsu 60 body before they switched over to the ball jointed version. She was another new purchase, and I'm extremely grateful Denver Doll Emporium had the head in stock after Snowborn was discontinued by the ccompany. Her body is secondhand from a collector on Ebay. I color matched her blushing and did her faceup myself, it was a real labor of love. If any other resin catches my eye, this is absolutely what I'm going to do with them, because the whole reason I went to vinyl was because of its rock solid posing! I have a few other dolls, but they're either in pieces and not in a good state for photographs, or in storage and not in a good state for photographs. I'll share them as they're made presentable again. I hope you enjoy my collection! 😄

    Cirque Du Nefarious

    Welcome to my project thread*! *Aka, 'Nefarious Procrastinates in Slow Motion'. "My name is Nefarious, and I'm a vinyl addict..." ...A vinyl addict who keeps telling myself, "I need to make art of each doll before posting this thread." But that's never going to get done. Who are we kidding? A quick bit of background: I became aware of the BJD / Dollfie hobby in 2009, and purchased my first full doll in 2012, starting a collective that is still going. After owning some Dollfie heads for a span, I finally bought two Angelphilia girls in 2019, sold them, then properly re-entered vinyl in 2021- 22 with a Smart Doll. Vinyl is my side-hobby, and one I curate carefully, but am passionate about nonetheless. I enjoy high fantasy, sci-fi, steam and cyberpunk, oldschool suspense / light horror, gothic fashion and the gothic story genre, street fashion, Alice in Wonderland, all fun things 80s and 90s, Victorian and Roccoco motifs, 90s and Y2K cartoons, and MMORPGs, and these interests will be reflected in my dolls. Rather than 'my collection', the group is generally referred to as 'The Elves' or 'The Hoard'. Consider this a kind of journal. Each initial post should contain a brief explanation of a doll- who they are, what their parts entail, and what needs to be done for them yet. Hopefully it shall one day contain some updates as well. Cross your fingers?
  10. I've decided to finally post pics of my Obitsu 150. She's life size at around 5 feet tall and can wear my clothes if I pin them because she's very skinny. She's pretty much just a giant Obitsu doll made of vinyl with an internal plastic skeleton. She came in a giant box as big as a coffin that I can literally lay down in. The shipping alone was $500 from Japan. She sits really well in a chair. I bought her a human size small bodysuit to protect her vinyl. She fits in all my lolita dresses better than me, that's for sure. I gave her a temporary faceup with stickers I had made in Adobe Illustrator and took her to a doll meetup. She met a Volks Chobits Chii! But I took the stickers off after this. I then sent her head off for a faceup. It was kind of creepy having her headless body hanging around for months, so I had to pack her body back up in her box but it's finally done. I got her a new wig by Arda: So here she is all done! Inside her joints there are screws that you can use to adjust the tension of her joints but I just don't have the patience for it so she flops over a lot. Honestly, she's a really cool doll but she's just too much for me. I blew $175 on a metal saddle stand for her but it kind of squishes her butt and she doesn't stand on it well so she's better off sitting in chairs. Speaking of her butt, it's kind of...a lot. So here's a bonus pic of her badonkadonk if you'd like a laugh: extra bonus measurments chart:

    Lychgate's random photos

    Making a photo thread here in hopes to motivate me to share any random photos i may take, along with encouraging me to do more with them! Right now, i only have my rena who is on an obitsu misuzu, and my ob11 ymy based on my oc here he is with the remote, along with some pics of rena i just took ^^
  12. Hey there! I'm working on dolls of my ocs who are a cat/dog kemonomimi couple. I'm waiting for the imomodoll 75 to come out for Zephyr (my dog girl!) since the proportions/bodytype is perfect. However, I've decided to get to work on my cat girl (Her name is TBD, but I'm thinking Ruomei is cute.) I've had these OCs for a very very long time (since childhood!) and now I really want to make dolls of them as an adult since they're so special to me and have grown with me. Originally, they were aliens, but I thought it would be nice to make them into kemonomimi for a fresh start and redesign. I don't have much recent art of their kemonomimi redesigns but this is a good start to show off what they look like a bit. What it doesn't picture here is Ruomei's new legs- which are digitigrade legs! (Think like an actual cat's legs' joints.) Here's a quick shotty/chibi visual of what her build is like along with the kitty legs: She's a bit more on the pudgy/chubby side which is really hard, if not impossible, to portray in a vinyl doll due to what's available on the market atm Here's where the fun comes in!! I'm a 3d artist (hobbyist, kinda.) and I recently (Just today, actually) ordered a 3d printer along with a flesh-tone resin that, from the looks of it, is at least a good match for the obitsu 50 skintone!! My idea is to not only 3d model her a new bust piece and a fuller abdomen piece, but also create a special foot piece to mimic how a digitigrade cat leg would bend. I'll be using the obitsu 50 skeleton for my frame, and AP H2 thighs for her thighs. I would also like to 3d print my own heads so they resemble my artstyle. (Zephyr on the left, Ruomei on the right.) Here's a quick mockup of my leg idea: and lastly, the "mechanism" I'll be using for her legs (pre-trimming! I have to shorten a lot of things, but this is how the joints will work.) I will probably have to print (or fashion) a separate rod that will fit into the "foot" or paw piece at the end so everything connects. Anyways, all that out of the way, I'm planning on posting future updates here as well for when I start sculpting everything in blender. I hope this doesn't across too overly ambitious lmao! (I say this despite this being incredibly, INCREDIBLY ambitious.) thanks for reading this far ^^

    Obitsu & DD Tan Skin Options?

    Heya! So, I'm making this thread with a few specific questions about A. Obitsu because I'm very unfamiliar with the brand, and B. Color matching DD's Tan I wanna make multiple dark skinned characters and one of them being a boy, and 2 girls. When it comes to DD the proxy + DDC system its legit the only way to GET a boy. But.. I honestly have no clue what sizing they come in. I haven't looked too far into DDC, and what sizes do have boy anatomy. (Like DD/DDS/etc). It seems it would be easier, and cheaper in the long run if I tried doing the scary hybrid creations with an Obitsu boy torso/abdomen on a DD frame. (I really dislike Obitsu's joint look, so I wanna mix it with DD.) If anyone has played with the boy type and mix and matched brands, I'd love anyones input! And any details about tan skin! I know it's seasonal, but I honestly haven't seen it anywhere, even during summer so I'm kinda lost on where to go and search. I want bigger DD's, otherwise I'd just use the Kakuso MDD body, but, thats MDD :,) Again, any guidance or help with this would be so very appreciated!

    Sugar Cups ~Peppermint Time~ UNBOXING

    I received my new Sugar Cups cutie and made a detailed unboxing of her! Please watch the full video on my YouTube channel 💕 Get Ready For Some Serious Cuteness - Sugar Cups Doll by Azone by Inari Passenger
  15. I think we all have our own ideas of what the "quintessential" (or perhaps even stereotypical) BJD or HJD looks like - for old-guard BJD fans, it may be a big-eyed Luts or an ethereal Minifee, or even an original Super Dollfie sculpt. And I think many vinyl lovers see the anime-styled Dollfie Dream or Smart Doll as the gold standard. But I would like to raise a glass to a vinyl phenotype that seems almost forgotten to time despite its odd beauty -- the classic Obitsu face. Characterized by big almond-shaped eyes with a notable lack of animetic-ness, often thin natural-looking eyebrows, and small lips, I would personally place the peak of the Obitsu face at around 2008-2013. I call it the Obitsu face because it's primarily found on Obitsu's original 1/3 dolls. Almost all examples of this style from Obitsu seem to have been sculpted by artist Hirata Hideaki. While the style may seem quite dated to anime doll collectors of today, these heads photograph well due to their strong angles, defined nose bridge and relatively sharp jawline. Although out of print, many of these dolls can still be found for sale on secondhand sites like Mandarake. My second-favorite Angel Philia sculpt, Ran/Rin, looks a bit like a semi-real version: So that's basically it: a thread to appreciate these old beauties, and show 'em off if you own any! I currently don't, but hopefully soon I'll be able to call one of these girls my own.

    Rena's set arrived today!!

    My Rena is here!! She's my first vinyl doll! I bought an Obitsu Misuzu for her, opting for a cheaper version that i might enjoy more, and her set just arrived today! The wig is a bit big on her, but I like the look of it. (please excuse the mess, im in the process of reorganizing my space)

    Obitsu 50-04 as Anya Forger

    I have lost count of how many sculpts I already customized as Anya. I have an Ellie/Obitsu 50-04 lying around... and I never realized how much potential it has! I think this sculpt is what I personally think suits Anya the best! I did a few mods - sanding down the mouth and making the eye holes slightly larger. The previous faceup was already cute but it just didn't seem "Anya" enough for me.

    tiny cyclops project doll

    After seeing Oculae's Poppy I really wanted to make a little Cyclops of my own. But I'm trying not to buy more dolls until I use what I have. And what I had was a dyed body and an under head, which I'd forgotten the dye minute for the body. So I tried to blush the head to match. Its... ok. Im hoping the unevenness will be hidden by her wig when I make it. Also one of her shoulder joints snapped off clean as I was making her clothes. She's becoming a real project doll, but I'm trying to trust the process. I've pinned her sleeve so she's a one armed girl for now. Today I'm makeing yarn weft to give her some hair. Then I have have to decide what to do with her hands. The original set turned green when I dyed them brown, and paint flaked off. I'm thinking maybe dye them black so she's wearing gloves? I'm going for a Japanese Steampunk look for her. I found an amazing costumer on pinterest that inspired me. Hopefully she'll come together in the end!
  19. Hi! I found someone who would want to buy my 40/45 upper male body part but i don’t know what to price it, i also have 40/45 lower male body part and a obitsu 45cm head that i don’t know what to price. It is perfect condition and i bought the body and head from someone who never used it, no modifications done and i sketched a little on the head but i erased it but there may be some spots i missed.
  20. (Disclaimer: I'm a customer with no affiliation with the company. I no longer own these parts as of 2023.) What does Dollypop make? Dollypop makes aftermarket outer skin parts for Obitsu-based dolls, most notably: A 3-piece torso that greatly improves upper-body flexibility for posing Thick thighs similar to those found on AZO2 and Angel Philia Pre-assembled 48/50cm Obitsu bodies with said parts Dollypop's parts are made from a moderately soft, thin vinyl similar to what Obitsu offered prior to the switch to semi-rigid vinyl. The softness is key to achieving the flexibility that's advertised. Like Azone and Angel Philia, Dollypop contracts out production to Obitsu. Who's this for? Dollypop caters to a few specific needs: Those who want a more flexible, poseable doll Those who want a curvy doll similar to AZO2 or Angel Philia. 3-piece Torsos Dollypop's main product is a modular 3-piece torso consisting of: Chest parts ("bust") Abdominal/belly parts ("abs") Hip parts ("hips") The pieces are sold separately to let you mix and match for your needs. Dollfie, Obitsu and Smart Doll offer 2-piece torsos that split between the chest and lower torso (abs + hips) for a balance between aesthetics and flexibility. Dollypop splits that lower torso piece into 2 separate parts (abs + hips) for better flexibility when bending the torso around the waist. This comes at the expense of aesthetics, and if that matters a lot, seamless silicone dolls are probably what you'd want to look at, but they have their own set of challenges. + = One noticeable gain in flexibility is in bending the waist and sitting down without the doll reclining or losing the pose, as it often does with AZO2 in particular. However, a sitting pose with the legs folded in, while improved over before, isn't as flexible as it could be. However, the biggest gains are in the torso itself. By increasing the pivot points to two, this allows each part of the torso to pivot INDEPENDENTLY from each other. In the middle photo, I'm rotating everything above the hips. In the third, I'm rotating the waist to the right, then rotating the bust back to the left for a an expressive, "S" shaped pose. (Sorry for the underwear choice. I didn't have something suitable at the time of this post.) Hip/Waist Measurements Dollypop torsos have slimmer waists for improved flexibility. Because of this, loose or high waisted bottoms may sit low, directly on the hips. The 60cm hip part is used in lieu of the 50cm hips if you want a "curvy" girl or are converting from AZO2. However, you must still use the 50cm abs part to connect to 50cm busts -- the 60cm version won't fit. Busts Dollypop offers 5 bust sizes (50SS - 50SL - 50ML - 50L - 50 Huge). Although the busts will nominally attach to Obitsu and AZO2 torsos, they may gap or do strange things when the torso is bent due to a shorter height. This table tells you roughly what bust is equivalent to one you already have from the perspective of clothing fit. For example, a 50ML will fit like an Obitsu Medium / AZO2-C. The 50 huge can be seen at different angles in this DollDreaming review. This Twitter account has many clothed pics of the 50 huge. Thick Thighs Dollypop sells thick thighs similar to ones by Azone (AZO2) and Angel Philia. They're similar in thickness to AP type-H but appear slender due to a gentler curve and longer length (1cm longer than 50cm Obitsu). Besides the added girth, the Dollypop thighs improve the range of motion in the lateral direction (side to side) to match up with what a human can do. It's much easier to swing the shins to the side when seated. Because the thighs are made from soft vinyl, they deform, making them more apt for poses where the legs or shins touch. However, if you want the most flexibility to squat or kneel, this isn't it. Dollypop thighs can only be attached to the Dollypop 60cm hip part (as well as Angel Philia C/H torsos). They won't attach to the 50cm hip part or to a vanilla Obitsu or AZO2 torso without heavy modifications. Now for some pics with Mai! The longer length and curvier cut looks great with a mini-skirt. The longer legs give a different impression. As expected, the thighs fill out shorts better too, to the point where she has trouble slipping into her Azone pair of denim shorts. On the left is AZO2, and on the right is with the Dollypop thighs. Buying Guide (Prices are an estimate. The exchange rate fluctuates, and prices have risen since writing this post.)

I did not need a blow dryer, but you may need one to remove the existing parts. You do not need it to insert the DP parts since they are already so soft. Remove the head. Remove the arms, then the bust. Detach the chest skeleton part from the spine. Use a twisting motion. This makes the abs/belly part EASIER TO INSTALL. Detach the knee / shins / feet from the thighs. Remove the thigh skin from the hip joint. This may require a blow dryer. You could instead remove the entire thigh instead, then the skin, but I've found that the groin joint has a tendency to fracture when doing this. Now, you're left with the torso and spine. First, remove the 2 hip joints. Then, this is the hardest part. Remove the torso skin from skeleton. What worked for me was getting one peg side inside the skin, then pulling out the rest from there. Now, you've disassembled your doll. First, insert the hip skin around the skeleton (the reverse of step 7). This will be considerably easier! Then insert the belly skin over the spine. Re-attach the chest skeleton part. The sternum will sit over the belly skin. Now, insert the bust. Then the arms and head. Finally re-assemble the legs by putting back the 2 hip joints, the thigh skin, then finally the knee joint. Further Reading (I ended up not following this, but this can be useful): https://dolliehsanctuary.com/sanctuary/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11764 Troubleshooting I can't attach the Dollypop thighs, or they have a tendency to fall off. On a 48cm body or even a 50cm body, the thighs may easily detach. If your doll is 48cm, you'll need to buy a replacement knee joint. If your doll's 50cm or you already have said knee joint, adjust the "upper bone's" position -- pull out the upper rod from the knee joint and re-insert it shallowly.

    Hello from a big doll fan!

    Hello! I’ve been collecting BJD since 2005 and have always been fascinated with the larger ones. From biggest to smallest, I have an Obitsu 150cm, a Parabox Otocolle 110cm, two 110cm Dollmore Trinities, a Spiritdoll Dolce, and several Smart Dolls. I plan on posting a review of the Obitsu 150 when her head comes back from a faceup and I hope to make a gallery thread or two as well of my big girls. I also have a super secret new big girl on the way I can’t wait to post about~ I’m pleased to meet you all and can’t wait to chat!
  22. I have a huge love for vinyl dolls, but to be honest I feel a lot of guilt and anxiety knowing that the vinyls and plastics that make up the dolls I love are harmful to the environment. They are non biodegradable, pollute the air when burned, and are usually not recyclable. I hate knowing that my decision to buy these beautiful dolls will negatively impact the world that future generations will have to deal with. However, I feel like it doesn’t have to be this way. I think we can make a change, so here’s my proposal: Admittedly, it is very difficult for the individual consumer to make an impact on environmental issues since large companies are the largest contributors to pollution by far. However, I think relatively smaller companies like Smart Doll are much more likely to listen to us than huge conglomerates like Apple and Coca Cola. So, if we each contact/email the support services of the doll companies we love, they may actually hear us and consider using a more sustainable alternative to PVC! CONTACT SMART DOLL: https://info.smartdoll.jp/en/posts/support CONTACT OBITSU PLASTICS: https://obitsu.co.jp/contact_us/form_customer Please use the contact services of these companies to urge them to use biodegradable, recyclable, or otherwise environmentally sustainable materials! You can do more research on examples of alternative materials so you can make more specific proposals to them, or simply convey the sentiment that it is time to look for a better way to produce dolls. Also, feel free to use your social media platforms to raise awareness of this issue and urge others to take action as well!
  23. Hi guys I just recently brought my first parabox doll which is the anzu 110cm doll, im from the uk and the shipping method is ems I was wondering if anyone else has ordered her and if they got charged custom charges x
