She looks a lot more like Nikki, but I think her chest is too big and I’m not a fan of the new DDS 2.0 body 😕 What about the new body don’t you like? also I agree I was surprised by the size of her chest 😅 It feels large to me but I always preferred a smaller bust so maybe i’m just not used to a more full size. for now I’m going to keep her with the M size but I think I will end up getting her a S bust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now it has bigger hips and thighs, and the balance just looks off to me, to the point that I'm having a lot of trouble bonding with Chikage/Nikki... FYI, the DDS base body normally comes with the M bust (and fist hands, although that's not the case here), so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but I still don't like the look of it.

Wait, I thought the shorter legs were the only thing differentiating DDS 2.0 from DD 2.0? But yeah, apart from that, they have the same body line now. I think from DD f3 to 2.0 its an improvement, but the design for DDS f3 was pretty well done and cute - it looses a lot of its individual charm in 2.0. Have you tried your Chikage Head on one of your older DDS bodies? (Although they're all Semi-White.)

Oh yeah, you’re right, although I think the thighs are bigger since they have to fit the bigger holes in the torso now. 3 hours ago, Tierparkzone said: Have you tried your Chikage Head on one of your older DDS bodies? (Although they're all Semi-White.) No, but it’s not just the body that’s the problem. I find her cheeks and jawline too big, and the slimmer neck exacerbates it. I’m also not sure the Nikki look is working for her, so I need to fiddle around with her wig and eyes a bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tierparkzone Posted February 8 With @OwlishBree asking about DDS Karin, that gave me a good enough reason to get off my ass and edit this photo set that I took last year at Volks Yokohama. - And in the process introduce to y'all properly: Eunie! When the DDS 2.0 was teased last year and with it Karin's fate hanging in the balance, I decided to finally pick one up. I always thought she was cute, although her stock wig and eyes don't bring out her full potential. I was also playing with the idea of making a doll of Eunie from Xenoblade 3 and thought, the head shape and faceup are a pretty decent match for this. - So here we are: As for how Eunie ended up outside of Aionios and instead hanging out with my crew, we'll figure that out some other time... 😝 Until next time! 13 Photo Story - Photo Thread - make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tippetarius Posted March 28 And what a beautiful bunny she is. Glorious posing you did with this shoot. The poses not only highlight how flexible the doll is, but really make her look like a pro cosplayer doing a photoshoot gives it the extra realism. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tierparkzone Posted April 4 In Japan it's cherry blossom time again. Although the weather had not been very cooperative over the recent days, I managed to use a break inbetween the rainy days to take out Ellie for a walk among the cherry trees. - Enjoy: On 3/28/2026 at 4:44 PM, Tippetarius said: And what a beautiful bunny she is.

Tierparkzone Posted May 13 (edited) 5 hours ago, DesertPhantom51 said: CUTE! Did you make those ears? They're darling. Haha, no! - Those ears are "official". 😁 I got them at Tokyo Disney Sea back in 2024. Of course, they're selling tons of human sized headbands with mouse ears there, but a good amount of the designs are also offered as smaller key-chains. As luck will have it, these are a perfect fit for 1/3 dolls. As far as I am aware, they are limited to the shops inside the parks. - I haven't seen anything similar in the Disney stores scattered around Tokyo. I actually took this photo to show off the tiny mouse-eared bag that I found at Daiso recently. While this photo turned out the nicest, it doesn't show off the bag all that much... 🤣 Edited May 13 by Tierparkzone Photo Story - Photo Thread - make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertPhantom51 Posted May 13 Awesome! I'm very aware of the keychains, but those ones were so delicate looking and matched Kanata's aesthetic so well I thought for sure they were tailor made! I was just at Disneyland yesterday too, I guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled the next time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tierparkzone Posted May 13 1 hour ago, DesertPhantom51 said: and matched Kanata's aesthetic so well Right!!!? I had seen the human version on a visit years before and thought: "If Kanata would wear mouse ears, she would totally go for this style." So I certainly wasn't unhappy when I eventually saw the tiny version being sold. 1 hour ago, DesertPhantom51 said: I'm very aware of the keychains I had the feeling that I had seen your girls with mouse ears before. A quick check of your photo thread didn't yield any results, but I guess I just didn't go far enough back... 😅 1 Photo Story - Photo Thread - make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
