introduction and questions about angel philia and hybridisation

Recommended Posts

kuzuryuuuuuuuuu

hello!! im buddy! total newbie to the hobby and would like some guidance if you dont mind. it started with putting a nendo hesd on a piccodo body,,, then i got a bjd and now ive been looking around the web for a while now on where to get a vinyl specifically for the squishy skin. when i stumbled upon angel philia i immediately fell in love but the problem is availability... and the price if trying to find every single piece in the right colour. so i came here for answers. im assuming theres a tan ob48 since thats what the shells are made for and i was wondering if i could get an ob48 and the switch out the bust tummy and thighs with ap parts? would it match in colour?

another thing is i saw ap jointed hands and ive set my mind on 100% having jointed hands theyre just too fun to play with, the thing is didnt find any jointed hands on the quarantotto website so idk if those even are ap hands. regardless of the brand i would love to have jointed hands for my doll but im not sure where to look. i mean i will be checking mandarake and mercari for second hand parts but i just wanna make sure that this is even something achievable or what other alternatives i have

right now plan B is dollbot which is way easier to get your hands on since u can purchase from them directly instead of second hand qnd they still have the squishy feel im looking for but i still dont wanna lose hope on ap because the sculpts are true beautes

for the head i might go for obitsu or parabox. maybe imomodoll if they have heads for 48cm dolls. just like anything with switchable eyes in anime style and if the colour doesnt match id dye it. but yeah!

ps i originally wanted a 60ish cm doll but from what ive seen sd and dd are the only options and the sculpts dont have the details *cough* id wanna see so i settled on these as the next best thing. i will get a larger doll eventually hopefully but it would be a bjd and this is isnt the forum for that so never mind that.

tldr:

are OB48 interchangeable with AP?

id they are interchangeable is the tan body a colour match?

what are my options for jointed hands that would colour match?

aside from quarantotto mandrake and mercari are there other places to purchase from?

thank you! 🙇

Welcome to the forum. 

AP is currently suffering from a massive production bottleneck. Combined with the recent explosion in popularity it'll be tricky to find all the stuff that you need to put one together.

Since APs use the OB50/OB48 frame (depending on the body type), If you can find the AP vinyl shell parts, you can slowly swap them out from a stock OB body. (Some AP thighs may not fit into the OB torso shell and vice versa, so you might have to swap them together.) A Tan OB48 will probably be hard/impossible to find. If you're okay with going with Whitey skin, that should make your life a lot easier since it's the base color for Obitsu, and AP parts come in Whitey too. (Just don't confuse them with Super Whitey.)

The jointed hands are not an official AP product, they're done by a third party. @ragnamuffin may be able to tell you where to find them.

You can also keep an eye on DollyTeria, but they usually don't have that much AP stuff.

Dollbot is cute, but not nearly as squishy as a soft skin AP. So if that's an important factor for you, beware!

If you're looking for squishy, have a look at the Smart Doll Peach body. While it's not quite on the level of AP soft skin, it's closer than anything else, including the range of motion in the hip joints. And there's painted busts for extra "detailing", too.

Hopefully, this helped a bit!

@Tierparkzone hi!! thank you so much for taking the time to answer i really appreciate it!!!!! i would really like a tan body specifically so whitey isnt an option for me. there is the possibility to dye an obitsu to match but thats quite nerve wracking and hard to colour match so i'm not sure. with ap gaining popularity im hoping they do manage to scale up production, i don't mind waiting for restock.

Hello ^^. The Quarantotto tan color is used in 2 Azone releases, an AZO2 Black Raven Cecily and an AZT8-45 Fluffy Holy Night Fururu. These are limited releases from a few years ago and may be in demand because of their Quarantotto tan color. They also aren’t OB48, but OB50 and OB45 I believe. If you particularly want Quarantotto tan this might be one of the only ways to get it without getting an AP.

Otherwise FaithZ should have a preorder for tan H Yukina in a few days, but she might sell out quickly 🥲.
