Miruna Posted November 23, 2020 Forgive my ignorance, I'm new to this hobby. I was wondering what the difference is between Azone en Obitsu. I often see both names listed together when looking at character dolls so I figured they weren't the same company, but I see a lot of people mentioning Azone on Obitsu threads. I'm asking because I own "Jigoku Shoujo Yoi no Togi - Enma Ai - Another Realistic Characters (No.005) - 1/3 (Azone, Obitsu Plastic Manufacturing)" and I don't know how to categorize this doll. Should it be under Obitsu or other? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Testament Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Obitsu is the base, so to speak. Azone, Angel Philia/Pink Drops/VMF50, Parabox dolls use Obitsu as a base, they all share the same Obitsu50/48 internal frame and some external component. Then someone design its proprietary "skin" parts, head, etc, but every brand I mentioned is a derivative from Obitsu, a collab, where Obitsu make the skeleton and arms/legs/hands/feet/other and the specific brand make the head (if not obitsu even the head), torso, hip, etc. So Azone dolls fall into Obitsu category.
