First things to do after getting a new girl?

I know there's dressing and stuff, but what do you usually do with a new girl after that? Do you have multiple outfits that you try out? I know when my first Dollfie comes, I'll be taking a lot of pictures!

Try on all the wigs until I find the right one.

Yup, I go through all wigs and eyes, try out different outfits until I figure out 'their' style, and then pose them doing cute things. And then take photos of them. XD

stare at her. smile and just let time pass

First thing I do after getting a new doll: install coolcat reinforcements. Then put on her pantsu

Since this sounds like it will be your first girl, you'll definitely want to do lots of photos so good call on that.

 

Most new DD owners will do a box opening photo shoot showing their girl arriving at their new home. Of course after that, she'll need to be dressed and then do some nice "hello" poses. Then you can take pics of her in her new environment and see how she likes it.

 

Now, is she coming with eyes and a wig already or do you have some for her to try out? Depending on that, you may or may not do some swaps for those to see what you both like or dislike. Then we have clothing.... what style do you both like or dislike? It will probably take some time to figure all that out but don't worry, you'll have loads of time with her to get that taken care of.

 

Your main things to do tho are to take care of her, love her and have fun with her! DD's enjoy those tings the most so make sure she gets those basic requirements!

 

After that it's up to you guys to find what works and to share pics and stories here on the forums.

 

Congrats on your first girl! I hope she arrives soon and you two hit it off nicely.

I don't have any wigs, clothes or other parts besides the ones that Asuna comes with. I got her in the lottery that ended a couple days ago I am planning on ordering wig caps and body suits from Coolcat to keep her well protected, plus skintight clothing is always nice! I can't wait until she arrives!

When I get a new girl, I normally take photos of myself opening the box. I might not always post them online, but I enjoy having the pictures for myself at least. ^__^ If you do this, don't forget to blur or black out your address!

 

After that, I will dress her and put her wig on. I don't usually use the wigs the dolls come with, I normally have another wig. I also have always had some clothes for my girl ready for her to wear, because I don't use their default outfits either. That's just my personal preference though of course.

 

Once she's dressed and styled up I take some photos of her by herself, and then I take photos of her with my other girls. Since she will be your first and only girl, you will get a lot of one-on-one time with her! I'm sure you will have a lot of fun posing her and taking her picture. ^__^

 

Looking forward to seeing the pics of your girl, and congratulations on your win~

Ahh nice! Since you'll be getting a full set girl, you'll be fine for a while until either you or Asuna decides she needs more clothes.... and she WILL want more clothes.

 

The bodysuit is a good idea if you want her in darker clothing. I'd also do as others suggested and buy the appropriate Cool Cats metal reinforcements for her shoulders and hips so you wont have to worry about cracks or breaks in those spots. Cheap insurance for sure.

 

And yes, skin tight clothing is always nice! There are many places to get such things, just look around in the Marketplace area here or the Manufacturer section for links to places like Alices Collections and such.

 

Congrats again on getting an Asuna, a friend of mine has one and she is gorgeous in person! Pics don't do her justice.

Thanks! I'll definitely look in to the reinforcements. I'd love to get her a nice maid outfit as well, but I'll have to see what she thinks!

I don't want to get new wigs and clothes just yet! Although I probably will in the future... Private photos sound like a great idea!

I thought Asuna couldn't use the Cool-cat reinforcements because Volks changed the internal skeleton again? Has the newest DD3 body had problems with breakage (I haven't heard any complaints anyway)?

 

 

When I get a new doll, I'm very simple about it... I open the box, admire, try on eyes, wigs, and clothes, and then just admire them some more ^_^

According to the Coolcat website, the reinforcements work with the DD III base body, so I should be good.

When I finally have my girl in my possession(shes on layaway from a friend), I intend to try ALL THE EYES, all the clothing, stare at her lovely face >w< It's what I do when I get my resins too XD

But what about her own plushie?!? Nobody mentioned yet that she should have her own plushie baby to cuddle while she gets used to being in her new home!! I'm also with Shinegamix...smile, enjoy, smile, look at, take time to realize she is really home with me!!

I guess I'll have to look in to that! Do you have any suggestions for good places to get them?

Oh wow! Good question because I get mine all over the place. Sometimes the dollar store is a good place because they have lots of 'little' stuff! Another great place I've found is 'thrift' stores because they usually have lots of pint-sized plushies that come from McDonald's happy meals and such. There are some on-line sites where you can order small sized plushies, too, but because I've never found one that is willing to ship to Canada, I can't give you any names. As soon as I know that I can't get them here, I don't keep track of the websites. I'm sure somebody else on the forum has more ideas and will post them for you!

Thanks! I'll definitely look around!

I'm definitely in the "immediately take photos" camp myself. Open box, take photos. Did it for my two complete girls and my floating head. Another thing I like to do is try a few different eyes in them, even before dressing or wigging them. In Agatha's case that didn't happen until I redid her faceup, but that's because I didn't have her other eyes finished until right before then. For Nanoha and Homura-in-a-jar, I did hthe eye tests immediately, and intend to do the same for Miku when she shows up. (I have high hopes for a turquoise pair Agatha rejected looking good on Miku, actually.)

 

And then it's take more photos time.

First I take a deep breath and try not to go crazy. No wait that was what I did for my first DD I was just stunned that I had actually bought it and it was in my hands that I was going crazy just thinking of the things I would do and the dresses I would put her in.

 

But now the first thing I do is set some time coming up with the perfect name and the overall look I want her to be. Thinking about personality, even if they maintain their character name I try to infuse my spin on their development so they are not quite the default but enough that people still see them as the character. Then I think about all of clothing I could dress them in matching the style I created for the character. Then go straight for my camera and begin their photo shoot.

 

Kinda complicated but it is fun like this.

The reinforcement parts they currently have for the DDIII Base Body will not work with the new internal frame that Asuna comes with (which is now the 3rd redesign of the internal frame). Just so you can see what Yukamina is talking about here is a blog entry by XOHimitsuOX showing how the new internal frame looks and how he did some handy work in order to make the current Cool Cat reinforcement parts fit on it.

I do hope I am not the only person to do this though.

 

Open box and dress her up with lots of clothes with wig combination then admire her beauty.

 

This seems normal, but the extra step I take here is to enjoy the strong soft vinyl smell.... I really love the fresh vinyl smell though.

Oops me too.

when i got my first DD I cleared a table for her and layed her down with white cloth and bubble wrap to make sure NOTHING stains her(lol I also have a mini fan to make sure shes cool so the fabric dosent stain) cause I didn't know what I was getting into but since 2 days ago

I recently got my 2 outfit sets so I just stand her up and admire her.. and just keep her clean
