Rilenan Posted April 14, 2021 Hi again! I've been looking at comparing frames and etc. before I made a purchase, and I was wondering if it was possible if I got a DD3, if I could exchange the torso to a DD-f3's in some manner? I've read that the DD3 body likes to crack at the shoulder. I don't mind the leg weakness as the character would likely be sitting stationary most of the time, but I want to make sure the shoulders are reliable. Thank you! 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selenae Posted April 14, 2021 This isn't feasible, as the two frames are completely incompatible with one another. However, Cool Cats does make reinforcements for the old DDIII frame that you can use to help prevent cracking. http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=dp-01b 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't sure if the spine-piece was detachable on both or not with other people's attachments. So happy those exist, thank you so much! Does coolcat have any other reinforcements or modifications for the frame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only the DD3 Vinyl torso parts can be swapped. The bust vinyl is officially compatible, and the lower torso vinyl is unofficially compatible. I.e. I’ve swapped the lower torso vinyl and it works just fine, but the official statement from Volks is the part can’t be used with the new frame. The frame parts are completely different at the hip and shoulder, so you can’t attach DD3 legs or arms to f3. 54 minutes ago, Rilenan said: Does coolcat have any other reinforcements or modifications for the frame? They sell neck joints too. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a thread about neck joints and how other ones work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe @baldylox once posted about a mobility mod to the neck vinyl, so maybe he can give more details. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?
