Gonna start this thread off on a high note.
This girl is unreasonably lewd.

Too lewd!Post more though
Last one for now.
Found someone's daughter locked up in a glass box in Akihabara
Person from the last thread who was buying their first doll reporting back. Wound up buying the Illiya. Very happy that I bought a doll, especially after having seen the Akiba dd showroom (and the azone one because it's under it, though less impressive.). At 145k all in and some fairly bad black stains on the schoolgirl set stockings I'm still not completely sure I wouldn't have been happier spending the extra 100k on other doll stuff but either way I'm still overall happy I took the plunge. Thanks to various anons for the advice.
How do you explain your dolls to guests?
Serious question.
>>14539786
Congrats, anon! Post pictures, we'd love to see your new family member!
Also, are the stains right on the stockings themselves (not the doll)? If so, you can try bleaching those out. If worst comes to worst, replacing socks like those shouldn't be too hard.
>>14539788
i don't
the cuteness speaks for itself
look at that picture, they're gorgeous, what head sculpts were used? anyone know?
>>14539790
Thankfully just on the stockings and yeah my thought was they'd be fairly replaceable if I have to. The doll is still sealed (nib) and I plan to keep it that way till I get back to my home country. I'm a little time limited right now but I'll post a potato picture of the box in a minute.
>>14539784
Ahaha you took that photo just for me?
>>14539788
Haven't had a non-weeb guest in years. I have however described them as similar in purpose to a pet rock - something I can go through the motions of looking after without running the risk of killing it.
Sorry for the ass photos. New daughter resting in her box for a little longer yet.
>>14539788
I don't
If I say anything I just say it's like a big anime figure, it usually doesn't need explaining though
>>14539788
The one time I brought a girl home and she saw the doll collection (2 at the time), she was intimidated by them.
The dolls were in an expensive glass cabinet with lights installed inside and wearing well made clothing. They looked like expensive collectible/art.
She actually complained that the dolls made her uncomfortable since they represent an unrealistic standard of beauty for a regular woman to measure up against. I thought that was funny since the girl had a thing for Leonardo DeCaprio and would mention him frequently in our everyday conversation.
>>14539826
I believe congratulations are in order, Illya is a cutie. I've wanted a MDD for a while but haven't gotten around to getting one.
>>14540297
>unrealistic standard of beauty
There is literally nothing more annoying than hearing this.
If dolls, drawings, games, whatever, makes you upset about your body maybe the problem isn't everything else maybe the problem is you. If someone looks at a doll and thinks, "Wow, this makes me feel fat" then maybe problem isn't the fucking doll.
>>14540363
it's a very silly thing to feel uncomfortable about; nobody expects people to look like dolls.
>>14540363
>>14540297
>>14540420
I want to call her a moron, but I think dolls are actually a reason (well one of the reasons) I have a hard time being attracted to anyone...
>>14540427
>but I think dolls are actually a reason (well one of the reasons) I have a hard time being attracted to anyone...
It's okay, anon. Dolls are better than real people anyways.
>>14540363
>>14540420
>>14540427
Funny thing is Leonardo DeCaprio is an unreasonable standard of beauty for men, but it never bugged me that much when she talked about him.
I thought her complaints toward the dolls were silly especially in contrast to her thing for Leonardo. It actually raised a red flag for me. Other stuff happened that raised more flags for me down the road and I eventually broke up with the girl.
>>14540297
>She actually complained that the dolls made her uncomfortable since they represent an unrealistic standard of beauty for a regular woman to measure up against.
I hope you nailed her and never spoke to her again.

/toy/ here. I'm a female who owns DD's. The concept that they would make me uncomfortable with my looks is ridiculous. Obviously I'm not jealous of what my anime figs and dolls look like. That just sounds so crazy. What's next? Avoiding all media and any shops that have pictures of models in clothing?
>>14540544
I feel like there are a ton of people who just take issue with random things to try to keep up their appearance of being progressive or something.
>>14540297
>She actually complained that the dolls made her uncomfortable since they represent an unrealistic standard of beauty for a regular woman to measure up against.
The feminist is strong with that one.
>>14540544
>Avoiding all media and any shops that have pictures of models in clothing?
Some people claim that those things offend/trigger/upset them and thus everyone must acquise to their demands etc. etc.
Nutjobs.
I have seen my future and I am scared.
figure.fm/en/profile/blacktiger2032
I love this doll.
>>14541330
don't be fat, that's already a start at avoiding it.
>>14541330
Hold my hand, anon. We'll be okay.
>>14541330
I check figure.fm on a semi-regular basis and avoid all posts by that guy (and a few others). Some people should just stop and seek professional help.
>>14541367
I dunno. The fatness certainly doesn't help but it's not the worst part by a long shot.
>>14541330
I don't get it, what's so bad about this guy compared to others?
I guess its a combination of him not being a good photographer, not being very good at wig care, not being that great at posing and living in a mess? Just don't do those things and it'll be fine.
>>14541433
>what's so bad about this guy
I see you haven't delved too deeply into his photo stories.
>>14541433
>i guess its a combination
Not quite. The bad photography/lack of camera gear is a non-issue except to a few sperglords and entirely excusable. The wig care is a minor note - someone who has been in the hobby this long should know better. Posing is the same, not a big deal but noticeable nonetheless. What upsets me is the squallor the dolls have to live in, the fact he feels no shame showing his mess to the world; and that nobody seems to be calling him out on it in that little hugbox of his.
I am scared because this guy is me in a lot of ways and I'm not so far removed from him thst it's impossible for me to end up there. I'm far too emotionally invested in my dolls for what a middle-aged building labourer should be.
Someone needs to give him the hard knocks he needs to get his shit sorted out and become someone who takes pride in himself.
>>14541433
I'm guessing it's because of posts like this:
http://www.figure.fm/en/post/56162/Mariko+s+Pondering.html
I don't frequent the site, so I'm not sure if this is his worst or just the tip of the iceberg.
>>14541487
>the squallor the dolls have to live in
Pretty much this. My place isn't exactly neat and organized, but the area where my girls are is.
>>14541536
Same. My house is old and my furniture is all hand-me-down but my dolls live in a shiny new glass rape dungeon.
I am mad.
>>14541442
You're right, I haven't. I looked at his latest couple of posts and didn't feel inspired to look further.
>>14541515
Oh wow that escalated fast.
I mean that would almost be sweet if it was photographed and staged better and if he looked more presentable. As it stands I can't get it out of my mind she's going to get fucked later in a pile of rubbish.
I live in a small place an have a fairly large collection. I don't know what I'd do if my place ended up in that kind of mess. Not that its spotless but the clutter is at least organized.
Just let it be a lesson to not make those same mistakes. Its good to be self-aware about these things.
>>14540544
Similar filthy crossboarder here.
Sometimes the dolls make me feel fat but that's because I legitimately have a weight problem. It has nothing to do with the dolls. It was never a problem when I was a healthy weight. >>14540363 is spot on.
>>14541515
>Tip of the iceberg
>Tip of something else
I spent an evening going through his older shit and he's actually a lot more family orientated than he used to be.
http://www.figure.fm/en/post/52925/Bedtime+Photoshoot.html
For the brave souls.
>>14541832
I wonder why he changed. It's not like people were leaving him discouraging comments on his crazier and more perverted posts.
>>14541907
Might be just part of getting older, I've seen one or two posts where the guy was writing stories where he's the father to his MDDs. So I guess in a way he's progressing through life?
One thing I don't really get is that a lot of his dolls have either the default faces or customs like pic related. Instead of having 8 dolls like that why not have just 3 or 4, and spend the extra money on really good faces and dresses?
>>14541939
It's even more weird that he chose to get a custom Kusugawa when Volks has one out already.
>>14541975
He upgraded.
>>14541988
So what became of the old one?
>>14542002
Her new name is Setsuna.
>>14541975
If you were lucky enough to win the lottery for one of her two releases then you could have gotten her for a sane price. If you want to get her from a third party seller now you'll have to hope to win a different kind of lottery first.
>>14541360
>>14541487
>I'm far too emotionally invested in my dolls for what a middle-aged building labourer should be.
Just curious, but what do you see your dolls as? For me they seem to be almost like pets.
I can look at them and kind of feel a sentient presence from them because they're made to look humanoid, and it's comforting. But they're convenient since they don't require food, too much special care nor do they poop.
Other than that they also feel like fancy big toys that I do dumb things with, like photography or placing them in stupid poses.
>owning dolls
>not also owning profession photography equipment
I seriously hope no one here does this.
>>14542596
I don't take many pictures, so I'm more inclined to spend that money on doll things.
Not having lighting equipment is probably a big reason for why I don't take many pictures, though.
>>14542518
Sort of as ignorance-tolerant pets, sort of the daughters I'll never have. Sort of a life motivator (better keep the house clean for my dolls, oh man this job sucks but if I hold out I can buy her that new dress I want); an interesting and captivating/terrorising house decoration, cuddle toys, hair brushing practice, something to talk at (like the "cat/dog mode" people get) without it judging me; something to focus my prductivity, creativity and energy towards. A reason to get out of bed in the morning. Non-professional interaction with the fairer sex?
My fake cuntstomer service personality is ace but it's nice to come home to something I can be a weirdo around without repercussion.
>>14542884
I love this photo, and I really like your outlook on the issue as well.
>>14542884
Sounds like you don't have a problem then anon, you're doing fine.
>>14543203
>owns dolls
>doesn't have a problem
naw.
>>14543306
>thinking you won't be just like us in a matter of months
Dude, you're already in the doll thread.
>>14542596
I own a Canon 70D and a number of lenses. Yet 80% of the photos I take here are from my iPhone. But then i mostly take landscape and architecture photos so i am not so good with my dolls.
>>14542884
Man that photo is fucking great.
>>14543582
There's a huge difference between fapping to dolls and owning dolls.
>>14543817
Yea, a job.
>>14543828
>being on /jp/
>having a job
Leave.
>>14543854
I'd reckon just about everyone in this thread has a job. We actually get that question on a regular basis ("How do you guys pay for these?")
>>14543927
Happy new years Cirno.
Wait, what's that bottle of "Cirno Blue Pee" next to her?
>>14543937
I wonder how much she charges for pee. I'm low on blue.
>>14543582
some people only come here to live vicariously through others.
>>14543927
I don't think there is a happier Cirno in the world then yours.
>>14544277
all doll admirers deserve to be real dollfags. it feels really great to own one.
>>14543916
>>14543854
Yeah us doll guys are given an exception to the "nobody has a job" rule simply because we'd never be able to afdord them otherwise.
>giving your doll your dead mother's jewellery
Oh my god this hit me harder than I thought it would. And if you look at his earlier photos you can see his descent into the squallor he's in now. He wasn't always like that.
>>14544895
You mean the big chubby guy in the picture here >>14541487
?
>>14544932
Yes.
The fact that his mother is dead makes him that much more similar to me and now I want to contact him and tell him everything will be okay.
>>14542884
This is sort of how my dolls are for me right now. They're something adorable and small and human-like to put effort into. Something to think about and buy things for and make little dresses for until we can afford treatments/surrogacy or adoption.
>>14544987
I read that the mother is dead, but did not know about the jewelry thing. That does make me feel bad as well. Another thing is that a picture of him from 2013 showed a slightly chubby but ok guy, whereas recent pictures showed a much heavier man with much thicker arms, double chins who is also less well kept.
It seems the guy started working around 2013 and the work has taken a toll on him. He's purchased 17+ dolls since 2013 and it seems like a response to stress. I can sympathize with that a bit since my work has also made me stress and overspend. Oh well, wish him luck and happiness I guess.
>>14545497
He's more like us than I thought. Dolls are probably one of the few things that keep him happy and busy. And as weird and creepy as his photostories are, he's not hurting anyone with them.
I first looked him up to have a laugh but now I just want to have a beer with the poor bastard.
>>14542087
Why is her face so shiny?
That's not a DD head is it?
>>14548699
It might have been sanded down and polished to even it out. Looks weird though.
>>14548699
It's a DD head that's been modded (I think the eye holes were made wider and some other features were sanded). The reason it's shiny is because the faceup wasn't properly sealed.
>>14548843
How does one properly seal a faceup? My first faceup also ended up kind of shiny.
>>14549912
Fully shake the can and paint in good weather conditions. also the right type paint
>>14549946
You did another one?
>>14549972
Yea,I did it a month ago, don't know why i didn't post my new daughter's faceup till now
>>14549912
Coat the faceup in MSC after each layer. Allow each layer of paint and topcoat to fully dry before beginning a new layer. always spray in low-humidity with little to no wind. Do not hold the can too close.
And thin your paints.
>>14550022
She's pretty, anon.I wish I could do my own faceups.
>>14550086
I did do all of those things. Even the parts of the face that I didn't paint ended up kind of shiny. I think in that case I might have just sprayed too thick an application of MSC after each layer.
>>14550086
>>14551054
but thin my paints I did not. I'll have to remember to do that next time. My paints (the eyes) definitely had some relief to them, which looks kind of bad when brightly lit.
does anyone have the webm of this? apparently I only saved a static image.
Bump. Does anyone here own Azone Assault Lily/Custom Lily stuff?
>>14554608
>pin joint arm
>flat hands
>bumpy plastic hair
why
>>14554823
How dare people like different things than me.
>>14554823
you realize that they're 1/12 scale right? How much fucking detail are you expecting out of 1/12
>>14555535
But to be fair fairies are a bit more expensive and also much more fragile. Lillies are closer to playthings than decorations.
>>14554608
I've always been a bit interested in them, because I love the idea of having tacticool operator girls, but the price is kinda steep for me. Recently I've considered taking up sewing and prop making to make that kind of stuff for my DDs instead.
>>14557228
>>14554608
Girls with guns are great and 1/12 is a great scale for making things feel small, but I can't abide by that plastic hair. That and I personally have not found any Assault Lilies that don't have ugly clothes.
>>14557380
Ugly? I dunno, obviously they're made of fabric meant for bigger sizes and the stitches look out of scale but if you can get past that then they can look nice. I prefer larger dolls and synthetic hair myself but if you're into the figma look then I see why people like them.
>>14555535
figma-level?
Isn't the correct lighting and good quality cameras what makes these dolls look so great?
I feel as though if I were to make an investment into them, I'd need to have some interest in photography to give me the full experience.
>>14559295
Its true that the photography and dollfagging hobbies have a ton of overlap, but not everyone who likes dolls has a fancy camera and a light box.
I'm just not into photography - never have been. I love dolls though. I can only post pictures that I take on weekend mornings when the sun is out (which isn't often here).
Why spend money on camera stuff when that money can go towards doll clothes?
>>14559295
Photography will get you involved with the community easier. But if you don't care about that it doesn't matter. I'm hopeless at doll photography, just don't have the space, but I still enjoy my dolls.
>>14559295
That's what makes them look so great in pictures. In person they look great almost all of the time.
What doll is this? she's the prettiest vinyl girl I have ever seen!
>>14559906
You mean >>14559814? That's DD Rise Kujikawa.
Does anyone have a comparison between a white and semi-white DDIII? Or at least any experience between the difference of a white head on a semi-white body.
I can get a really good deal on a semi-white DDIII, so I'm curious. Otherwise I'll just wait.
>>14560180
Why not get a semi-white head while you're at it?
>>14560180
the difference between the two colours is quite noticeable
>>14559814
>that ring of reflection on her hair
just like in my anime
>>14559814
Darn all the Rise owners! You had all better treat that girl right!
>>14560180
It's gonna look weird, white DDs are very white while SW is more of a natural pale. Also WS is kinda yellowish while SW has pink undertones.
>>14562877
I wish Volks would publish sRGB approximations on their site to answer such common inquiries, but instead we get useless disclaimers about how the colour might be different between batches.
I've been on the fence about getting a doll for like a year because of the costs but unexpectedly came over a bunch of money recently. So I could actually go through with it. Will I feel fulfilled and satisfied once I'm finally down the slope? How do I convince myself to take the plunge?
>>14563400
>Will I feel fulfilled and satisfied once I'm finally down the slope?
For a moment. Then you'll feel the need to buy her clothes and wigs.
Only you can pull the trigger, we can't convince you one way or another. Dolls are fucking great though.
>>14563400
>>14563433
>Then you'll feel the need to buy her clothes and wigs.
This is accurate. Afterwards you'll want to bring home a sister as well. You don't want your doll feeling alone and abandoned when you're not around, do you?
>>14563566
Sorry. I had to.
What still confuse me is why they can't make a material for dolls that do not absorb dyes like sponges. It seems like we really should be that far into the future that we can make dolls wear clothes without creating a mess.
>>14564147
They do. It's called resin.
>>14564213
yellowing, though.
>>14564147
Why is dye seemingly such a problem? Are you unable to soak the clothes until they stop releasing excess dyes?
>>14564251
It's not that serious of an issue, don't let people's overreaction freak you out. If you leave your doll on a shelf that's right in direct sunlight every day, then that's a problem. The process is so slow (and happens naturally, btw - UV light just speeds the rate of chemical reaction) that it would take about 10-12 years for you to REALLY notice.
>>14564345
can i get a resin body that has the same aesthetic and poseability as DDs?
>>14564311
We'll know when I get my hands on a doll. Right now I only have horror stories from others.
>>14563566
I'm not a collector, sometimes I feel like i'm the only person with one doll around here. I can only handle one, she' special.
>>14564441
I only have one doll.
I know I want to get at least two more, though.
>>14563400
>>14564441
I only have 3 and that's about it for me. Doll stuff are expensive and for me part of keeping the hobby under control and enjoying it is learning how to appreciate what I already have instead of impulsively buying new things constantly.
>>14564418
My experience has been that if you buy clothes with a white under layer or get white tights the staining would be minimal.
>>14564473
>>14564441
Pictures? Are one of you the owner of that Cirno?
>>14564441
I have a few, I've entered for Takane and now I'm contemplating getting a SD16 Ryo.
That said, it's definitely better having one, making sure she's well dressed and well fed than having a bunch just in their underwear and no shoes. It's important having a lot of shoes for her to choose from.
>>14564590
Not me. I rarely take pictures of my girl, partly because I'm rarely awake when there's good light.
I'd take one for you now but my parents are home on holiday and I don't feel like embarassing myself.
>>14564742
My doll never goes outside, why would she need shoes?
>>14564750
>why would she need shoes
She might forgive you if she has fancy socks or stockings available to her.
>>14564750
>My doll never goes outside, why would she need shoes?
Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?
>>14564441
I was going to own just one but now it's five. That said the only thing that will make six is what Rin looks like. I wish we would hear something about her soon.
>>14564441
Not everyone does the same things with their dolls.
I for one treat them more like very large figures with clothes. So I only buy full set and put them in the shelf. That's it.
>>14567158
but that's so sad
>>14567192
are you the doll police?
>>14567192
I know customs can look very nice. But getting to that point either means assembling a custom doll or breaking the identity of a character doll. Not to mention that shopping for matching clothes is just as cumbersome as shopping for my own clothes.
Also, displaying character dolls as-is prevents the vicious circle of
>buy clothes
>have spares
>buy another doll for spare outfits
>buy clothes for new doll
etc. etc.
>>14567385
Not that guy, but there is a huge stigma in the BJD community of "shoeless dolls with frazzled mohair wigs and sharpie faceups" or "collectors with 20 dolls, half naked, the other shoeless." In other words - it makes you look like a slob, like you don't care about your dolls, and a cheap irresponsible collector.
>>14567479
putting full set in the shelf != sharpie faceups
>>14567484
Having a fullset != having your doll not have any shoes
>>14568155
Are you sure you're not getting that anon confused with someone else? I don't see any reference to not having shoes, nor do I think it matters that much. Anon is clearly not the cheap collector strawman you described earlier.
>>14568217
different conversation
>>14569272
Oh dam that's cute!
I would like to by my doll a traditional japanese tea set.
Do these kinds of specific props exist?
>>14569698
I've seen it once or twice on yahoo japan auctions.
>>14564386
>>14564147
Why don't people put internal frames in resin dolls?
>>14570425
That's a good question, I really don't know. Tradition? Weight? I do know that the DD1 body was strung, the internal skeleton was introduced with the DD2 body.
Fuck. There was this beautiful DDH-07 on Y!JA a while ago, but I passed on it because it went for so much money. I can't stop my regret.
>>14571863
She's gorgeous. I'm weak for some of the custom DDH-07 and DDH-09 heads myself, I might have to bite the bullet someday.
Do the hip joints for your DDs come loose all the time? I don't know if mine is just in wrong or something.
>>14573369
Your might be broken
>>14571500
The only thing that comes to my mind is resin inflexibility (DDs have that soft bust thing) and the fact that it's harder to cast hollow, but come on, if you design it properly it can't be that hard to make it possible to insert
>>14573436
I think the issue is that resin can shatter if stressed too much. Resin dolls will break fingers/chip if dropped on a hard surface from too high. An internal skeleton would require parts that can be removed (like the DD arms and legs), and the inserting of pieces into other pieces would not be a good idea. Vinyl is more flexible so this can be done, but with resin I could see it being an absolute nightmare.
>>14564785
>>14564862
wearing shoes inside is weird but i put them on just for you
>>14574197
positively adorable!
I traveled all the way to Japan to an obscure shopping mall that was about an hour and a half train ride from Tokyo to buy one of these Peanut cat plushies that all the Japanese doll photographers have, only to find out that the character has grown arms and legs and looks pretty stupid compared to the older, proper peanut-shaped type :<
Oh well, at least Azone shop yielded some nice clothes loot and also picked up a new girl from Volks.
>>14574320
What good doll clothes stores do you know in or around Tokyo? I've been to all the well known ones, Volks, Azone and Mandarake, but there must be some other good places?
I'm off there again in a few months so I'm starting to plan my shopping trips.
>>14574359
Don't know if there's much else besides those - it's always a good idea to check all the shops that sell pre-owned (usually though unused) items, I found some Azone 50cm clothes at those for slightly cheaper than original retail price. There's at least a few of those in the same Radio Kaikan building that Volks and Azone are in.
>>14574320
>>14574407
You've brought Mimori back to us! I'd recognise that lewd demeanour anywhere.
>>14574407
Thanks, I've probably been to most of those before. Its all still worth visiting again of course. I suppose a lot of the clothes come from events and so on rather than stores.
>>14574320
>>14574407
the cat does look stupid
why did you still buy it anyway? maybe it's an alternative version and you could've asked for the limbless one
>>14574359
Dolk has a Tokyo location, they stock clothes and shoes at least.
A girl and her dog.

Resin is also way heavier. Your skeleton would have to bear a lot of weight. I do not own 1/3 resin dolls, because they are too heavy. I can't physically handle dealing with such a large and heavy doll.
>>14578427
Do you have problems with your health? I didn't think resin dolls were incredibly heavy.
>>14578459
1/3 resin dolls are somewhat cumbersome to handle if you're doing a lot of playing/posing. Your standard 1/3 resin doll is going to be at least a few lbs. It's not heavy by any means, but it's certainly not light by "toy standards."
>>14578609
it's probably the kind of thing you don't understand until you have one, but i think i get it.
>>14578609
>>14578459
They are, and if you are posing them a lot or carrying them a lot it can be a pain. It's just not something I like personally, but I say that having owned Volks SD boys. Volks has pretty heavy resin. Who knows if I would feel different about a different brand.
Also no health problems but 61cm is about 2/5th the size of me. My DDs are about as long as my torso.
Is it bad to use perfume on your doll?
>>14578773
as far as i'm aware, yes. maybe there are some that are okay to use, but i'd play it safe and keep them away from dolls.
>>14574359
I just got back from a trip myself. I'd suggest it's worth taking a look around jungle (same side of akiba as mandarake). It's a relatively small store but for it's size it has a hell of a lot of doll stuff considering it's not a doll store. It's hard to count clothes but in terms of DD bodies were talking at least twice as many as mandrake (conservatively). There's also a nice aftermarket doll store in Ikebukuro that I wish I could remember the name of to give you. It's about 6 floors up and has signage on the side of the building. It had little (doll size) baskets of loose sorted clothes along with various sets and bodies.
save the doll thread!
Save it!
>>14582949
I blame /toy/
>>14584989
That reminds me of a girl I briefly knew in the second grade. I made her cry by smiling at her and saying she looked pretty. Turns out it was a wig, and she was undergoing chemotherapy.
She's probably dead.
>>14586034
Oh wow, anon. She probably cried because she thought she was ugly. Don't feel badly about it.
>>14586034
Damn. But you couldn't have known, and you meant well to begin with.
>>14578773
Perfumes contain oils, which is bad for plastics. If you want your doll to have a particular smell though, you can put the perfume on a scrap of fabric or a cotton ball and put it in something like a tea ball (like $2 for a metal one at Walmart) or even half of a toy capsule from a machine and pop it in their head. As long as the perfume isn't directly touching their clothing, hair, or vinyl you're fine.
Lashinbang on the 4th floor of the Animate building in Ikebukuro has a couple of dresses and dolls.
Closet Child Ikebukuro used to have doll clothes but last I checked they stopped carrying them.
Mandarake in Nakano has some DDs for sale too. Last I went, there was a Rise for over 110 k.
In addition to what was mentioned in Akiba, Lashinbang (also in the Animate Akiba building) has dolls and some clothes.

>>14587502
Fairly sure Closet Child spun off the dolls into their own shop close by. Or at least I'm 80% it's the same owners/people.
>>14587648
This is correct. The online store is called Dolly Teria - not sure if the storefront in Japan has the same name of if they just call it Closet Child as well.
>>14587848
Didn't know they had a website, neat. That's also the place mentioned here >>14578815.
Worth noting that online store seems to be missing stuff, as you get with most online versions of physical JP stores.

volatiles are a thing
you know what happens if you expose plastic to acetone fumes for example, right?

I don't care how perv you are, dolls are f*cking creepy...

>current year
>still thinking this is creepy
I kind of want an MDD, but thought of having to build up a new wardrobe is too scary.
>>14591555
I feel the exact same way. I'm not too fond of any of the current Volks MDD models (with the possible exception of Cirno) so I'd have to get a cute DDH-01 custom. But probably I'll stick with my regular DDs.
>>14591539
is that an egg sweatshirt? thats so cute if so!
>>14590901
they're like cats. they may want to kill you in your sleep, but their attempts are pathetic.
>>14591787
Fucking adorable.
>>14591781
It actually is, now that I look at it.
To be honest I was looking elsewhere.
>>14591787
Here is a picture of a cat's attempt on her slave's life. The result was poor - head pats and an exceptional belly rub.
>>14591889
please dont post pictures of your boner here.
dolls only.
>>14591917
>has a choice between focusing on a cute kitty being adorable, or a man's genital area
You made the choice dudebro. Is there anything >>>/legbutt/ needs to know about?
In unrelated news people holding their dolls is adorable. It makes them look smaller and cuter.
>>14591953
a hand is tolerable unless you have sausage fingers
the rest of the body is visually unpleasant
>>14591991
Hands it is then.

That's more of a grab than a hold but hey doll abuse is fine too!

Is this a custom or a character from an actual anime? I love the gothic lolita style.
>>14592472
It's custom as far as I know. Mixed feelings regarding what has happened to poor kun-kun though.
>>14592563
what are you talking about?
>>14592626
kunkun is the name of the dog she has in bdsm gear. it's from rozen maiden.
Live, thread, live!
>>14594820
This thread is treated the same way as all our dolls are. The center of attention for a while, then we forget about it for a while and it falls into neglect. Then we remember it and think that showing it the bare base amount of attention is enough to fix it. Maybe buying it some new clothing will stop it from crying?
>>14594989
but i still love my doll!
>>14594989
What happens when you neglect it for too long?
>>14595177
I should go post that on tumblr and watch the resultant supermassive tit uncalming.
>>14595177
You start projecting your suicidal intentions onto a fucking inanimate object like the degenerate you are.
>>14595319
hahaha the old thumb in levitating orange trick
>>14594989
Speak for yourself. I still look at my dolls every day before I leave for work. As soon as I come home I stop at the dolly shelf on my way through and into the bedroom.
I probably don't buy them enough clothing. I just bought them outfits a month ago and I already wonder if I should be browsing mandy again.
>>14595319
Yes, and post the results to /toy/ because /jp/ probably won't care that much.
>>14594989
Cute hand puppets dude
>>14595797
my doll hangs out with me in my bedroom.
>>14595982
All the time? What do you do when you're having a wank?
>>14596046
i just let her look at whatever's on the screen!
>>14596063
But aren't you worried about her becoming lewd? She will try to imitate what she sees on screen.
>>14596077
she can imitate it if she wants to; yuri is pure.
>>14596084
She has a sister to play with, right? Otherwise she may stray like a cat in heat.
>>14596098
not yet, but very soon. gotta wait to see if i won takane, and if i don't i might get a nice ddh-07 from Y!JA if i see one, or something.
>>14596128
Well you'd better google how to calm a cat in heat or else you're gonna have a bad time.
People think having something that attached to them is cute, right up until they have an early start the next morning and the doll is getting off with their face. At least if you have two they can sort each other out.
>>14596153
wouldn't figures be a better choice for them?
>>14596179
How so?
>>14596206
Me on the left.
>>14596206
they're cuter
>>14594989
You're right, I need to start abusing my dolls more.
>>14595177
Champignon?
>>14594827
>>14594989
I like outfits like these, where they are kind of casual and have some skin showing. Where's a good place to find ones like these? My little lolis are all currently wearing very elaborate gothic outfits and I am looking for a change of pace.
>>14596077
>>14539698
>>14539711
>>14539717
I want to hotglue this doll.
>>14596518
Please don't. They grow addicted to the substance and can no longer function as pure, innocent creatures. They also become ineligible for marriage when they come in contact with it.
>>14596566
That's okay, I'll take responsibility.
>>14596448
>I like outfits like these, where they are kind of casual and have some skin showing. Where's a good place to find ones like these? My little lolis are all currently wearing very elaborate gothic outfits and I am looking for a change of pace.
I recognize >>14594989 as a sweater from TTYA and a skirt from the volks web store.
>>14596518
Your preferred target? Face? Belly button? Mound of Venus? Somewhere else? I'm a belly button man myself.
>>14598253
>I'm a belly button man myself.
Is that how you make little dolls? Since they don't have vaginas and all.
>>14598253
Why settle for just one? She's small enough to do all of those at once.
That said, I prefer thehairandthighs.
Has the doll thread always been this full of roleplayers or is this just an artifact of this particular thread?
>>14598639
This edition of the thread is not outstanding in any way. To be honest given the subject manner (little girls) I'm surprised it is not typically worse.
>>14598639
I'm pretty sure imagining that dolls are alive is a staple of the hobby.
>>14598831
For whatever reason it seems normal to me to treat them like they're alive but at the same time I find it strange to see people talking about them moving on their own. Dunno perhaps I think of them more as trees or perhaps it's something else.
>>14598929
They remind me a bit of a very, very inactive pet. Like a tarantula or something.
>>14540297
>since they represent an unrealistic standard of beauty for a regular woman to measure up against
I bet she never had a cute doll to play with when she was a little girl.
>>14598940
I think of them more as basically paralyzed humans that don't actually mind just watching me do stuff all day.
>>14598940
>>14599981
These both seem reasonable to me. I guess it's more when I see people talk about them almost like the toys from toy story that I get thrown.
>>14599981
>don't actually mind just watching me do stuff all day
Do you let them watch you sleep?
Mine don't seem to mind me making an embarrasment out of myself trying to get /fit/. They probably don't yet realise it's so I can take family photos without bringing shame upon us.
>>14595177
shit. I'm an idiot and left her hanging for too long and the rope stained her neck a bit.
