Hiii first post! Are imomodoll 1/6 heads able to fit on tinyfox 1/6? Does the skin match? Has anyone done this?

Hi friends! Been a while since I was last here, but I am back with a new quandry XD SO I've had an Obitsu Henzel head loitering in my storage for many MANY years lmao, but finally this month got around to getting her a body! According to Parabox's site, Henzel works for any Obitsu body between 45-50cm, and I stumbled upon someone selling their Akiho who was happy to split the head + body. Success! However, once the body arrived and I combined the pieces... Well, it ain't a great look XD The Akiho does have a new gen body that is plumper than the original Ob50 body, but I think even ignoring that, to 50cm scale isn't right for Henzel 😅 In hindsight, it does say '45' inside her headcap, so that's on me I guess XD SO new problem/s- I still need a body for Henzel, and now I have a bonus body that I'd like to find a head for! For Henzel, Ob45 bodies seem to be a bit hard to come by (i know there is a listing on Parabox, but tbh I would be after a bustier option XD), and I know MDD bodies are a similar scale, so was wondering if that may work? Or if not, what would be a good alternative? Onto the body, I don't know how much I trust Parabox now when they say what heads are compatible with which bodies 😂 But I can make an educated guess that the larger heads are gonna be the more anime-style ones which, sadly, I'm not as big of a fan of... So likewise, I was considering a Dollfie head for it as there are slightly less on-the-nose anime-styled ones that I would assume are in the correct size ballpark... Once again appealing to the masses if this would this work, or similarly some decent alternatives (that aren't too anime XD) Thank you!

In this day of AI fake patterns, I was wondering if anyone had go to sewing pattern shops that they could recommend? I'm specifically looking for a 1/4 swimsuit pattern, but I figured that I might as well ask you guys for general shop information so the thread could be more useful to others

So I'm sure you can guess by the title, but I'm struggling to find an artist to do face-ups. examples are shown below. (at least, I don't have access to taobao nor xianyu so I can't really speak with them, and will be unable to do so due to lack of passport). I was thinking of using a proxy instead (like superbuy) but every artists i looked into either has it closed, wanted the face plates to be shipped to them, or they just don't do it anymore. I'm not sure where else I could do or find out more about it. (I did do some face-ups on my own but I'm not liking my final results tbh) ^^;; I don't really mind the costs either.

Hi all! I know I don't post or comment on here very often, but hopefully this doll project will change that? I'm gonna try my hand at shelling a character I really like in DDb form; but I have an issue, because the character has 4 arms. I have a rough idea of how I want to do this, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm not confident. My initial idea was to take an extra set of arms and (carefully) cut arm holes out of his waist area, then mod the arm pegs so that I could drill some of those little o-ring screws (I guess they're called Screw Eyes?) into them and use some elastic to hold them in place. After thinking about that for a bit, though, I realized that there might not be enough room in the abdominal area of these dolls for that (though maybe I could cut the pegs down a few mm). So my next best idea is to 3d print something for them to sit in, like the shoulder sockets they come with, but a cylinder. The problem with *that* is that I don't know how 3d printing works. I mean, I have access to a 3d pinter at my local library (woo), but again, I have no idea how it works or how to design stuff to print out... so I'd need to commission someone to make me that cylinder thing, then send me the file to print. I might end up making a new topic post when he arrives, at which point I'll also tell everyone which character I'm making. I'm not keeping his identity secret out of shame or anything, I just don't want to jinx myself and end up being unable to do this project by telling everyone my exact plans. The only reason I'm making *this* topic post is because I was hoping to hear some ideas, or potentially cast a net and find someone who is good at 3d print/design so I can shove money at them and beg for help lol Anyway, have a lovely day!

Looking for Reccomendations for Weird or Unique Dolls with Odd Parts
DreamingFish posted a topic in Off-Topic
I love seeing dolls that don't fit the typical beauty standards one might find in this hobby. It's one of the reasons I love Angel Philia a lot is because they are just very different from what you usually see and can be weird and fun with what's available for them (I found out that there was official(?) body hair you could buy for them which made me giggle). So I'm looking for recommendations for the strangest or weirdest dolls you've come across. Also maybe just some odd parts you could get for otherwise normal dolls. -
Hi friends, I was extremely lucky and was able to order a Tomoe Mami from Japan and she is a dream EXCEPT she arrived with a shattered spine and shoulder sockets : ( It was too much of a hassle to return her and she's perfect otherwise so I thought I could just get her a new body? (just replacing the internals probably by buying a full 1/3 azone doll second hand) BUT I'm confused about what size she needs between 48 or 50 cm obitsu bodies? The other Madoka girls use either the 48 or 50 cm from my research but her listing on hobby search says "- Body: 50cm/AZO2 body ※ G bust Sculpted Obitsu: Oniyama Naotake (hyperspace) ※ Obitsu 50cm use only the lower leg" <- this part specifically confuses me Does anyone have more info that could help me pick which body she needs for replacement parts? thank you

I really like the retractable stand that Smart dolls come with. I was wondering if there's anything I could use with DDs for a similar non-intrusive stand look (outside of completely transparent plastic saddle stands😅).
-
Honestly just curious, I saw a post today of someone selling an Emilia (well, they could be on the forum too. So hello😄) and lowered their pricing due customising elements of her faceup. I guess this is just a "it depends" situation?

Hi everyone I am from an European country and unfortunately if I order something online from a website that ships from outside of Europe I am required to pay exorbitant customs and taxes upon the item arrival to the country no to mention it stays retained at the customs facility for ages… I was wondering if anyone here knows of good sites/etsy stores that ship from within Europe that I could purchase from. (Clothes, custom heads, body parts, props etc). My doll is a 1/6 Azone so it would need to sell compatible items for her. Any help is appreciated !! 🙏🥹

Hello. Does anyone know where I can find a picture of the internal frame of the seamless Volks Elegant body series? I’ve picked up some from MANDARAKE (custom Dragon Half Mink and Slayers Naga incoming) and I don’t want to break them. I’ve checked most of my old doll magazines and although I found an announcement of the bodies, no such luck with a picture of the internal frame.

Hello! Hopefully this is the right forum to put this question in. I'm planning on doing my first faceup on a resin doll sometime soon (a Seria doll). I would rather not use a spray sealant because of the toxicity, so I'm considering using Liquitex Professional Matte Varnish instead. I've heard of people using gouache for some faceups which I'm interested in, but would that be possible with this sealant? I hear acrylics work with Liquitex.

Does the original MDD base body and the 2.0 share the same size hand internal frame?
dollrxst posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I’m assuming they do as theres only one option. Can I put the “normal” hands on the original base body (the one I have)? Will they fit? The hands I took off are large and the ones I want to buy are the smaller size. Just scared the normal ones won’t fit… -
help needed White Residue Post-Faceup Removal?
PlasticJester posted a topic in Painting and Customization
Hi all, sorry for immediately rushing to the forum when something goes odd with my first vinyl, but I'm a bit puzzled. I got an Imomodoll Canis head in tan secondhand, and it came with a faceup already applied. I removed the faceup with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, but the alcohol left behind a sort of....powdery pale finish onto the vinyl? It goes away temporarily with water, only to show again when the head dries. This isn't my customizing rodeo, but I'm used to playline fashion dolls and acetone, so I'm a bit puzzled. Should I try another round with acetone to remove it, or am I missing something? -

I will not be surprised at all if i dont just get excited but i cry happy tears too. XD

Hello all! I come to you with a query; I have a 1/6 Imomo doll intended for a halfling-esque statured character to go with a handful of resin dolls in similar proportions, and ideally I want to increase their chest size so they resemble a more mature figure. However, the Imomo doll's shoulders are more narrow than the other dolls I have in this scale, and I think that adding her 'assets' won't look or work amazing given the size. Therefore I was wondering if there were other dolls within similar proportions as the Imomo doll perhaps with a 2-part torso? Then I could swap out the top part for one either already with breasts, or at least with a wider shoulder base to fit the mods I'll do. I don't mind hybriding or experimenting lmao, or maybe even branching out to a 1/4 bust part (providing I can find a 1/6 2-part torso for a base), as the character in mind is also a little thicker anyway XD Thanks in advance!

help needed Any doll outfit/accessory shops you recommend/How to tell if a shop is a recast seller?
GothicSkies posted a topic in General Discussions
Hey yall.. ima be honest i need help.. Im in a BJD server, and im starting to get stressed out for searching for anything for the doll.. The reason is cause of fear of the seller being a recast seller... Cause they say that even if you buy something else from them thats not a doll.. it would basically say "You can sell recasts, i wont buy it but you can sell them.." And its stressing me out.. especially given i am the type that would buy something that has good reviews and looks good.. but reviews cannot be depended on for telling.. you'd need to look through the entire shop before buying one item.. and again.. it is stressing me out.. So.. I beg of yall.. do you have any shops that you frequent for BJD clothes or accessories.. that are not recast sellers to your knowledge.. An extra question.. how can you tell if you found a recast seller or not, or even better, how to tell if a shop is secretly selling recasts behind the scenes.. (Like SophiesToyParadise on Etsy for example)... so when I'm looking on my own, I can notice and avoid them.. -
I have a couple questions in regards to dolls aaand.. drawing?? alright i'll get to it in a minute lol. My first question is kind of simple.. If the doll you are getting has a name already.. is it ok to rename them? I figure you could.. cause it would be kinda odd to have a restriction on renaming your dolls lol.. buuut just asking for the lolz.. The second question.. is.. If the drawings are related to dolls in question.. is it ok to post them here?? Cause I occasionally draw dolls i like, especially the one im currently after, having sketched her several times.. Since im uncertain on if i can post said drawings here, i thought to ask. THe final question i wanna ask is simple.. What sizes for body suits and wig caps are best for 1/6 Tinyfox dolls? I just wanna be sure.. ;w; Oh and tiny updates on me. Found out that the original site the doll im after is on is actually cheaper.. and that there is not exactly an extreme time limit.. if there is one.. its around 9 months.. aaand given this baby has been announced 4 weeks ago.. i think i got a bit of time.. Aaand i started my commissions!

Hello everyone, I would like to address a topic, and I hope not to repeat it in the forum. I woke up this morning with a very stressful idea in my head. I sent my doll head to the buyer, but it's extremely cold outside in this period of the year, and I'm worried that the MSC sealant could be damaged. Even though I've protected the head well, the cold would maybe still reach it. How do you usually handle this? I’m curious about your experiences and any advise to handle this situation. Auctions and make-up comissions don’t stop in the winter and artists still send their heads to people … I'm really concerned about this issue! I appreciate any insights or suggestions you may have in this matter. Thank you all

My Len's wig was looking a tad rough, so I wanted to try and fix it up just a bit. I took out the rubber band on the wig to try redoing it, but couldn't seem to get it right. Kept ending up looking about the same, just with less stray hair strands poking out. The ponytail always just ends up curling heavily to the left, right or even under itself. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to get his wig looking more like the official images? How would I go about making the ponytail more centered, so it doesn't heavily lean to one side of his head? I'd be happy with most any wig styling tips to be honest, I'm just having a difficult time with that ponytail. I've fixed/redone my Miku's wigs quite a few times, but this one has been so much harder. Did I make a mistake by even removing the band at all? 😓 I have a feeling I should probably get some kinda hairspray or gel, but wanted to ask around here first to see what anyone might suggest. Don't think I've unlocked the picture uploading feature here yet, so I hope I'm getting things across well with just my words. Thanks in advance for any help!

Help me With Measurements for an Imomodoll Fuwamo (1/6)
ABitPeckish posted a topic in General Discussions
hello everyone ^_^ I'm still new to this forum and to doll collecting in general, so I apologize for any mistakes. Recently I found a legit bjd shop called mydollection.com, and there I saw an Imomodoll Fuwamo (1/6) doll for $39.99 (I was looking for vinyl dolls on the cheaper side). While Imomodoll is thorough with its measurements: I'm confused about some of them. 1 - I assumed that since it's an anime style doll in the 1/6 size it would have bigger eyes (14mm/16mm), but I still want to be cautious and ask you guys. 2 - The wig size is also weird for me, it looks like the head is pretty big so maybe an MSD wig would fit? But since it's listed as a 1/6 doll, maybe I should just go with the standard YOSD wig fit (6-7 in.)? 3 - The thighs are really thick so I'm pretty sure that stretchy MSD pants would fit, but the doll itself is just 27 cm/10.6 in. So again, I'm not sure if I should go with MSD or YOSD pants) thanks everyone! -
hi! i’m very new to dollfie dreams and i am expecting my DD kaito to arrive very soon! i have bought a lot in preparation such as a bodysuit and wig cap, but i have yet to purchase any extra clothes for him! with that being said, what doll clothing sizes fit best on DDB bodies? do SD clothes fit DDB? what about smart doll clothes? i appreciate any insight! i was thinking of waiting for kaito to arrive and measure him to double-check, but i really wanna have some clothes for him upon arrival ;w;

Hello there! I haven't made a topic in quite some time so bare with me if this is in the wrong place or something. I'm currently working on an (extensively) modded Obitsu 50 which is my first vinyl doll. I have a specific body type in mind that I'd like her to have, which is going really great so far (!!) except for her shoulders, which are too wide for my idea... Her current set up is the Obitsu 50cm chest skeleton with the 50cm L bust from Parabox. Is there a way I could cut out some of the vinyl around the arm holes so the shoulders would be less wide? Alternatively, I also read that MDD busts can fit the Obitsu45. Since that shares the same chest skeleton part, could I buy an MDD bust and use that instead of modding the 50cm L bust? Would that even fit? I know I'd have to modify the neck hole for the Obitsu neck peg but that's doable for me! Any help is appreciated and I hope I was able to explain myself clearly! If you need any more information or clarification please let me know haha Thank you! 😄
