Longevity of Semi-white skin?

Recommended Posts

meltychoco_BJD

Does anyone have any experience with how semi-white skin looks after several years? Is the potential yellowing worse or the same as with flesh skin?

I know vinyl doesn't yellow to nearly the same degree as resin but I'd assume anything lighter then flesh could potentially have more severe yellowing than flesh would.

I only have one DD in flesh, and she's technically old (from around 2011 I think? Not 100% sure since she was secondhand/new-in-box). I personally didn't notice she'd yellowed until I got her a new unitorso direct from Volks and realized the new part was noticeably more pink in tone. (Ironically I actually like her yellowed tone more than the pinky torso colour)

I guess what I'm asking is, would semi-white yellowing be similar to this, or worse, etc? Comparison pictures would be awesome if possible!

I’ve had my Kos-Mos since December of 2014, and she looks fine. All my SWS girls look fine, but she’s the oldest. I think she was made in 2013.

 

Here is a photo of her, and her head is on a DDS body that I borrowed from Fumika Sagisawa. Fumi was released within the last few years. You can see a slight color difference between her head and neck.

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

I have an Alice who I think was the first semi-white release.  Just compared her arm to a semi-white body I got new about a month ago.  The old doll is slightly more gray than the new one, but honestly no more than I've seen just from batch to batch.

I've got white skin and semi-white skin dolls with no obvious yellowing and normal/flesh with obvious yellowing.  So in my experience semi-white is no less stable.

It was Kos-Mos, her special site announced the release of SWS as a skin color. Alice may have been the first one in owners hands though, because Kos-Mos was pre-order, and Alice was a Dolpa release a few months after the order period closed. Kos-Mos would have existed as a display model in stores before Alice, so she'd still be the first SWS.

I just remember a teaser photo in a story of her between a white and normal skin doll and someone telling me it was obviously Alice since she was the only one in that color.  So your pre-order vs dolpa release would fit with that.   But I'm definitely not a DD release historian.  I have no idea the dates of when I got any particular dolls.

Wow, the colour difference is so subtle I actually couldn't tell at all without looking very close, that's pretty great!

Thank you for providing an image! I'm always amazed at how stable vinyl colour seems over the years from most people's stories

I've noticed that SWS loses its pinkness over time. However, the loss of pink happens pretty quickly (within 2-3 years anyway) so that there's not a big difference in all my SWS heads and bodies anymore. It's still a pleasant color so it's not a bother for me.

I have a Miku from 2015 (I bought the head second hand so idk if it's older) and he finally got his own male body last year 

Semi-white head from 2015

Semi-white body from 2023

I was impressed with the match

I also have a more recent match,

DH26 head from 2023

Body from 2020

I think the semi-white skin ages well and matches well with older or newer skins

Thanks for the comparisons! It looks like SWS ages pretty wonderfully most of the time (almost imperceptively, even), based on everyone's images!
