Old thread: >>14716599
How about we talk about doll accessories like necklaces and earrings and bracelets.
>>14830199
thats horrifying stop that
why are we still not using the better faq links?
>>14830670
Do handcuffs and leashes count as accessories?
>>14834484
I said they are still too small. Plus she is the worst girl. Plus plus I am experimenting.
>>14834855
I just copied from the last thread. Post new ones immediately and hopefully the next thread will copy those.
>>14835288
Yah sure but I have only seen handcuffs. Much to my dismay. But to each there own.
anyone know what sculpt this could be?
>>14836394
modified DDH-03
>>14830670
Jeez I know I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but Cake is so cute. I don't actually have an issue with the way she dresses. Admittedly, I have no sense of style. I do think she could use some variety in hairstyle though.
>>14838575
Thanks. She is my first and still my favourite. Also replaceing the khakis with jeans might look better I don't hate or disagree with what everyone says just some of it. I probably won't change her hair though I have an incredibly hard time changing wigs they make up so much of the girls personality. Only Tofu's wig is on the chopping block not sure were I want to go with that need to see how I feel when her new outfit arrives.
>>14835845
>but I have only seen handcuffs
Well now you've seen a chain leash as well as handcuffs.
>>14839958
Long black hime-cut is objectively the best choice and the one you should be making.
>>14840027
Thats the wig I was considering. Maybe I should look around for one.
>>14840073
LeekeWorld has a few hime-cut style wigs in their range of varying lengths and curlinesses. The LR-138_E seems to be a good place to start looking.
>>14840133
Hmmmmmmmmmm
So Cherry rocks a reddish brown Hime cut that extends down to the top of her butt. That one you linked looks shorter. Do I aim shorter? Or longer or about the same. It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma covered in a cute wig.
>>14840183
As much as I want to say longer is always better, when it gets so long that she's standing on it you're gonna run into problems. My Kanojo's wig is a damn mess because if she's not stepping on it one of her sisters is.
A shortish hime-cut is still a hime-cut though so even if it is only half way down her back that's still a good choice.
>>14840222
Yah but you have mostly/just? MDDs. I can go to the back of the knees in length on a DDIII. My longest wig on Waffles extends down to the hem of her skirt, longer if it was straight and not curly.
That said if I was randomly asked who had the longest wig I would have said cherry. The ponytail and curliness to Waffles wig makes it seem shorter. So a similar length wig that is just straight might look too long?
Also Tofu is semi-white any worry of the wig hair staining her? She tends to show more skin as of late.
>>14840302
Really buddy it's up to you how long you go or don't. Just keep looking until you find a style and length you like. You literally cannot go wrong with hime-cut length that's the greatest thing about them.
>Yah but you have mostly/just? MDDs
I have four dolls, a Parabox 40 and 47 and an Obitsu 48 and 50 and they have, respectively, thigh-length, butt length, bob-cut length, oh my fucking god get your feet off my hair you bitch-length
>>14840302
Hahaha I almost want to try this.
>>14840332
So I like MDD I own but fuck I love my Obitsu 50. It is the perfect size compared to my other DDS/2/3. It also makes me like my MDD more because it's less of a sudden drop in hight.
>>14840339
yeah nah
>>14840355
And the Parabox 40 is the perfect size to compliment the Obitsu 50. Personally I think the 50 is a bit of a leg monster and even just with the 20mm shorter legs the 48 has it looks so much better proportioned, especially when naked.
>>14840471
Hahaha yah no. Seems the wig I want is sold out till April. Might check some other places.
Hahah the 50 looks like it has stub legs when compared to a DDIII. Still I like the legs so it's all good for me. But you really have some great looking girls. And in my opinion better body's then a DDS.
>>14840501
Question for you, are you not American or just pulling an all-nighter?
>SPAWN MORE HIME-CUTS
>>14840574
Man I like your girls eyes.
But anyhoo I am from the cold land of Canada. But I work nights and as I have a hard time with sleep as it is, switching back and forth from nights and days would kill me. So I am up all night on my days off also but I do sleep In a bit if I can so I can join the wakeing world till 1pm on my days off.
>>14840645
>works nights
I'm so sorry
well not really cause that puts you on straya time which is simply just a better time to be on
There's just something about girls with long black hair that causes spontaneous erections and it's not even my oedipus complex acting up because mum was a blonde.
>>14840756
I really enjoy nights. It is a nice change from 11 years working retail. So should I buy the leekeworld wig and just chill until apr when it will ship. Or do I go else were. I can not lie I am not patient like at all.
ITT weebs that have no idea what a hime cut is.
>>14840813
Wig bought. Fuck waiting.
>>14840937
That's the wig you bought? ehhhhh
>>14840941
Sure what's wrong with it?
>>14840819
That's gross, looks like a mullet in the making
>>14840941

>>14840819
That second layer is far too wide.
>>14843529
This one is truly my favourite. I wish I knew how to put together a similar doll.
>>14845421
How do you mod a doll to make it do this?
picking up my first girl in a few days, pretty excited. you guys got me in the spirit. gonna grab an azone to start with, any suggestions? been looking at a few on amiami.
>>14845721
Congrats anon. I'm not very familiar with the Azones so I can't offer any help with your question but I hope you'll be happy with her.
>>14845776
what do you prefer? Im starting out so I dont wanna spend too terribly much on a first, considering i could potentially stain her, improper care, etc. wanna know what im doing and start slow.
>>14845787
When you say Azone do you mean a Pure Neemo or an Obitsu 50?
>>14845821
uguu... dunno know my terminology that well. this might help. good starter and in line with the budget i planned for a first.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=FIG-DOL-8602&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_agelimit%3D0%24s_cate3%3D41%24s_condition_flg%3D0%24pagemax%3D30%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D3
>>14845787
I've only ever had Dollfie Dreams. Staining is an issue but I've never had any of my girls be stained beyond repair and that's even after a serious accident with a stain monster of a maid outfit.
>>14845875
If you're looking for a 1/6 scale anime styled doll then your options are limited and Azone might be the only option? Perhaps other anons know more.
>>14845875
So here's an owner pic of that, you decide whether this is what you want. Often times the doll doesn't look quite as good as the sample photos as they are A) faffed about with for hours to get perfect and/or B) shooped.
And yes that is a Pure Neemo line doll. So when you search for clothes, search for that.
>>14845915
mmm, I cant tell if thats photography, or what. the eyes look so flat, she doesnt have that same... energy compare to these in that photo. nothing like
>>14843323
>>14840332
those look nice, and what i really would like to do. maybe i need to wait a bit more?
>>14845936
Azones generally have decal eyes, there are some notable exceptions in their 1/3 range like Kanojo but for the most part the eyes are painted on.
The ones you're linking to are MDD dolls and will set you back a bit more though you could go for a hybrid MDD head and 40cm Obitsu body to save some cash.
>>14845936
Bear in mind these things are tiny so there is only so much detail you're going to get on such a small space.
Those are MDDs. All I can say is: good luck
>>14845960
>>14845964
hmmm, from what ive gathered, those are the ultimate devotion and spirit of the hobby, correct? heh. quite pricey too, but look so worth it. maybe i should research more before i decide. thank you all!
>>14830670
I like accessories but I believe there's a lack of doll rings out there. Hard to make them look nice and to scale maybe?
>>14846028
Absolutely, too much research is better not enough research when it comes to big purchases like these. Look up more user photos of 1/6 Azones, the one in >>14845915 is not a very good one I feel.
>>14843323
Just ebay. We will see how good looks
>>14846374
>eBay
Dear god is there nothing that can stop you from making horrible decisions about your dolls?
>>14846905i think he genuinely has some brain problems.
>>14847001
>>14846905
Yes because we know it's bad without seeing it. And if it is bad I will just buy the exact same style from leekeworld when it's back in stock in April.
>>14847345
Pretty sure that was a criticism of your use of ebay rather than what we think it'll look like. Still a criticism based on assumptions, but you don't have a great track record!I do think that wig will suit neither Tofu nor your terrible outfits.
As long as you're happy, I guess it doesn't matter.
>>14845936
>>14845875
So I never thought to post it here but I got a Pure Neemo in Japan. There is a Azone store below Volks Doll point.
So here are some images. As you can see they are much smaller then DDs. The black skirt is my MDD and are the size you were linking to in your other post. Over all I like the detail in the clothes but it does not look as good as a DD.
Also how do I manage this fucking things hair!?! It's thick and waxy I kinda hate it a lot.
>>14847536
Over all it is neat to use as a Doll for my girls. But I won't be buying anymore. To be honest if you really like the look of the larger dolls you see here and want more of that look I can't really recommend a Neemo.
That said if you want a small easy to take care of and nice looking doll Pure Neemos are neat.
>>14847560
Post pic of bigger doll abusing smaller doll. Do it.
>>14846089
Gosh she is the prettiest doll I have ever seen. Is she yours? I'm still new into the hobby, so would you mind telling me what face/body she is? And post more pictures please! She is so gorgeous.
>>14847885
Not that anon, but she is theirs. Head is a Dollfie Dream Kisaragi Chihaya repainted by White Dolly Story, if I'm not mistaken.
>>14847885
Yeah, she's mine. Thanks! That picture was taken a while back, pic related shows how she looks right now.
>>14847918
This is accurate. Her body is a DDS body with a M bust, I find that to suit her better than the default SS bust.
>>14848666
Did you keep her name as Chihaya?
>>14848666
Oh wow this is great!! I totally dig this look! That hat and shirt are my fave parts!
>>14847918
>>14848666
Thanks anons! Wow that really shows me how much the face-up can change a doll's looks. Chihaya hardly caught my eye when I looked at the default model, but yours is so pretty.
>>14848732
I did initially but she doesn't look like Chihaya anymore so now she prefers to be called Charlotte. Totally a coincidence that they both start with Ch.
>>14849158
Yeah, a new faceup can totally transform a doll. I browse the DD group on flickr occasionally and I can't recognize some of them if they don't include the name in the description or tag the photos.
>>14848666
Did you do the faceup yourself or was is a commission?
>>14845717
mostly a robot body with a few doll parts
>>14853360
Shit, there go my dreams.
I just went and bought another doll head, even though I just got Melty (who I now call Yumi). Bought it on Y!JA, and probably spent way too much.
I think Aya will have to be a floating head for a while, until I can afford a new DDS body.
>>14853632
And it begins. Yumi is a cute name you should post pictures of you got her dressed yet.
>>14853679
She's been dressed since I got her! I'm still trying to make my girls' wigs look presentable, but I don't have a lot of time for that.
>>14853686
Show the QT3.14 girl. Also wigs truly can be a pain I have just finished Battle with cookies wig shit sucks.
>>14853761
Is Aya the QT3.14 girl?
>>14853769
Yes but also Yumi because you said she is dressed. Post all girls with body's.
Or detached heads that's cool too I guess.
>>14845421
Sucks that these things always make a shit ton of noise. Why can't engineers create a miniaturized silent actuator already?
>>14853894
I only have the two girls right now, unless you count the two 1/6 girls I have sitting in their boxes in my closet. I started collecting figures and ran out of room for them.
Maybe I'll take a picture today. I keep saying that then flaking because I'm having a style crisis.
>>14853931
I just want people to post there girls. I like seeing other peoples styles and likes.
>>14853940
Here's a quick/bad picture of Aya. I don't like this wig much, but I wanted to see her with light hair again and all of my others are dark.
Didn't notice until I looked at the picture, but you can see some of the putty I used on the bottom of her right eye. I hate putting eyes in.
>>14847560
>>14854145
Ohhhh shitttt blonde with red eyes. That is mad adorbs!! She looks very cute.
>>14854324
Dolls with dolls is kinda neat. Maybe I should take more images of Cake with that Neemo.
>>14854571
>That is mad adorbs!!
you're like an old man trying to fit in with elementary school kids
>>14854587
But I talk like that to other adults. Plus I like to believe due to the cost of DDs were all adults.
>>14854571
>dolls with dolls
>doll abuse
best combination
>>14854324
May i ask what realdoll that is?
>>14856257
His twitter showed him shopping at arte tokio, considering the elf ears that might just be a distributor for ds-doll.
>>14854324
I recognize that smaller doll! It's a libidoll, the DD sized doll that you can fuck! How is it?
>>14855162
Lower right corner. Woody's expression as the abuse goes on. Priceless.
>>14852838
Was a commission from White Dolly Story.
>>14854145
She looks lovely and if that's a bad picture then I can't wait to see a good one!
>>14857069
>She looks lovely
Thanks! I've taken like 3 pictures in the 6 months I've had her, so I'm not sure if you can expect to see a good picture ever.
>>14857730
You should take a lot more images. It's the only way!!
>>14859432
But I'm always busy doing other nerd things.
Okay so I want to buy a gothic-looking doll. I've never bought a doll before so what site is best?
>>14859638
Wow you asked such a large question. One after thinking on I dont have the best answers . I am sure others can be more helpful.
What I can say is there is no one site. You should spend a lot of time looking at your opinions and doing research. Even after I bought my first head it took for ever to deside on a body and now 7 dolls in I am still learning.
I spent a lot of time on the dollfiedreams questions part of there forums reading. From there I read other sites. I want to be more helpful but I have a feeling I won't be.
>>14859638
What is your budget?
>2k USD - check yahoo jp auctions or ebay.
<2k USD - build it yourself with parts and bits from here and there, various shops.
>>14859638
Do you want an anime looking doll or a more realistic one? What size?
What do you mean by gothic looking? (just clothes or do you want it to have heavy makeup too?)
For the anon who in the last thread asked when Volks restock MDD parts, if you're in NA, Volks USA just reopened their webstore and they have a bunch of stuff available. Both base bodies and option parts.
>>14830670
where do you guys buy these dolls? Where can I get one?
>>14862197
Kind of all depends on what exactly you want.
I'd recommend extensive internet research. Most of the dolls we post here are called Dollfie Dreams, if you didn't already know.
>>14862197
Like this person said >>14862236
Lots of research. That said if you live in Trump Land VOLKS USA just had a restock and all of the base body models are available. I own two base model girls myself if they are to your liking I recommend starting your research there.
>>14863199
not him but are the standard models a good first buy? i don't want the trouble of waiting for a lottery, buying one secondhand or building one and commissioning a makeup artist.
>>14863713
They are a good buy if you like them. But You still will need to supply them with clothes. Also you can change the wig and eyes more to your liking. Changing wigs is easy but changing eyes is harder as Volks uses what seems to be hot glue to hold them in.
>>14863713
only buy dolls you love. you'll regret it otherwise.
>>14863751
>changing eyes is harder
that said, changing default eyes still isn't hard.
>>14863751
Also smart doll on sale one day only mirai and some shirts only
53400 for mirai
>>14863910
>only buy dolls you love. you'll regret it otherwise.
Almost entirely true. Another option is to buy a sculpt you love, the faceup can be changed. It's hard to know if you love a sculpt though just by looking at stock photos. See if you find photos of customs and see if you like them.
The one on the left is so cute!
>>14866900
They both are cute but yah that left one is a cut above.
>>14862107
By the way everyone looking to let a jointed woman into your life, those prices for base DD models really aren't bad for what you get. Look around, something for everyone there. I was stuck for a bit as far as girls go, but eh, in a month, its truly feasible if you truly want to do it..
>>14866900
alice?
>>14870120
Her outfit is definitely a dead ringer for Alice.
>>14870260
She looks like a bundle of love and mischief!
>>14870491
I love her little moe fang. If I ever get a doll, it's gonna have one like that for sure.
>>14866900
That's an amazingly styled wig for a doll that's upside down!
How many times do you guys wash clothes to colour-lock them?
>>14872716
One unless I know from other reports that the item in question is known to stain very very easily. I use a lingerie bag and the delicate cycle on my washer.
Hay so I really like the new wig. Problem is I am sure no one will like what she is wearing. So you guys get this until I get her new outfit arrives in the mail... That you will also probably hate.
I did not put her in her maid outfit because her hair won't stand out well.
>>14873120
We already know how bad your bikini + baggy slacks outfit looks. You might as well show us now.
>>14873385
She is wearing a shirt so you are wrong.
>>14873522
perfectly fine. if she's working in construction or something like that. but then she would have to tie her hair
>>14873522
i weep for your dolls
>>14873539
Why 4 of them look fine. And I am still waiting on clothes for two of them.
>>14873553
all of your girls look have something that looks weird and you can't even tell!
>>14873583
>all of your girls look have something that looks weird and you can't even tell!
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
fashion-kun's dolls are all fine. It's not like daddy doesn't care he just needs practice. Most any new father is the same and don't try to pretend you weren't a hamfist when you first became one.
>>14873120
Put her in the maid outfit you mong. Long black hair + maid is objectively the best combination except maybe for blonde loli vampire
So what's the ballpark base price for a MDD? As in building one with only one outfit to start.
>>14874891
Ok the base body if you can get it at retail price is 27,000jpy (good luck)
this head sold for 193,000jpy
have fun saving
>>14874891
And an outfit will run from $40 to $400 depending on the quality and how elaborate the set is. For example I just bought a set of MDD lingerie that set me back $32 on their own, but you can buy a complete set off ebay for that price. Of course the quality will be different but hey it's your doll and money.
>>14866900
thanks that's me.
>>14874891
If you're in Trumpland or any of the lesser neighboring countries then Volks USA has both the MDD base body and MDD Rena, pic related, in stock. Rena is $429 and just the body is $275.
DDH-01 heads often goes for crazy prices as >>14874911 mentions but you can get a nice head for ~30k yen. Alternatively go for MDD Rena if you like her or see if you can find a faceup artist you like and commission them.
Anyone here into Little dolls? I'm looking to sell my Lil Fairy Erunoe with an outfit or two.
>>14875907
I have a Vel and I think it looks really adorable and is a good size to be a doll for my dolls but the body I have will not stand up on its own, the hips are really weak. Does yours pose properly and it's just mine that's faulty or are they all like that?
If I had the money I'd consider buying another but I don't think I can afford what would be a fair price for a doll + outfit/s.
In other news my box from Amico arrived and it had this cute Alice-style dress set in it so I took Mei out of her leash and handcuffs and put it on her.
>>14875972
Mine is a little loose but she can stand alright. The knees can buckle sometimes though.
>>14874911
>this head sold for 193,000jpy
So you're saying I should quit my job at the bank and start painting doll heads for a living?
>>14876025
If you can make cute little kitty girls like pic related, speak English and ship globally then yes, you should.
I don't know how many hours of work go into making such a detailed faceup but I think it's worth every yen paid.
I can't get into this hobby because the doll would just make me feel ugly and inferior
>>14876048
I know that feel bro. >>14875972 used to be a mirror-backed dresser but I hated seeing myself in it every time I played with my dolls so I ripped the mirror out and put a piece of MDF board in its place.
>>14876071
If I'm gonna spend thousands on dolls maybe it's better just to get clothes/surgeries for myself
>>14876076
Well I put myself on a diet, shaved my head, grew a beard and started riding a bicycle to lose weight. All so that I could take photos of my dolls with me in them one day and not get a hundred comments on how fat my fingers were.
Your mileage may vary but you could try those things.
>>14876076
I've spent much more on doll clothes than clothes for myself the last year or two. Surgeries are a different matter though, take care of your health!
>>14876118
>>14876121
I look girly looking straight on but masculine from the side so I want a surgeon to take a chisel to that
I already got laser hair removal for my face, just legs left to do
>>14876234
by that I mean my nose
>>14876118
I'm amazed that insulting someone on the internet for being fat worked.
You're restored my faith in harsh justice, thank you citizen. Your fat has not been spilled in vain.
There aren't enough catsuits for dolls.
>>14876441
Hate to break it to you dudebro but I'm a statistical outlier amongst statistical outliers. The usual response to being called fat is to get fatter.
>>14875907
Here's a picture since I was away from my computer when I posted that.
>>14876555
One soul saved for a thousand irredeemable ones already lost.
>>14874946
>>14874911
She is too cute.
>>14876654
My main concern now is accidentally becoming attractive to women and having one or more try to latch on and get between me and my dolls. The thought alone is terrifying. A female human working at the cash register of the local store complimented my beard after I'd finished growing it and I ran out of the store crying.
>>14876793
Just start bringing a doll around with you. She'll let those filthy "women" know to back off.
>>14876793
>My main concern now is accidentally becoming attractive to women and having one or more try to latch on and get between me and my dolls
lol
>>14876832
It's not funny man I'm seriously stressing out about it. I can feel them watching me when I walk down the street or am at work and they walk past and stare. I hear horror stories from the plumbers and electricians I work with about being propositioned by housewives and daughters when working on homes and it is truly scary knowing that one day it might happen to me.

Zero.

It's not like the opinion of a tripfag is important though.

I feel the same as them, if that helps.
>>14876932
Just act completely oblivious to their antics. You could even just act gay for a while, I did that once; problem now is that my mother thinks I'm actually gay
>>14877319

im cute af tho with the body type you dream of
>>14877319
Four complete dolls, three floating heads and a box full of spare body parts that still won't make one full one.

Good advice I'll try that. Should I find a smooth/slender to pretend to be my boyfriend when I go out in public?
>>14877319
Just 1 Miku DD, getting the Snow Miku DD later this year

Too many, I'm scared to count. More than 10. In theory I want to reduce the number but in practice I don't want to get rid of any of them.

jeez, how much money do you think you've spent on clothes alone?
>>14877574
A lot. Then there's the shoes, so many shoes. But at least the ones that are on display look nice! Well, to my eyes at least.
>>14873522
Hey she actually looks rather nice! Well, her hair and face do. I personally never found anything wrong with the cargo pants but the shirt is really lackluster. Have you considered getting her a cute princess-type dress to go with the hime-cut?
>>14877319
Six but I plan to get a seventh in May.
>>14878575
Those aren't cargo pants. They're just pants!
I don't think it's a hime-cut wig either, but it's hard to tell in that picture.
>>14877319
1 but she's kinda neglected
>>14878729
Neglected dolls are the saddest.
>>14877319
>>14878971
jealous of your nanoha
>>14874870
Thanks I am trying. That said I have put her back in her maid outfit and given her back her hammer.
>>14878575
Thanks I like the pants and will use them. The shirt just fucking sucks but that's fine I have a new use for it.
Just tried to take some photos with a living prop and she picked her nose with poor Miku's fingers. What sad/unexpected things have happened to your dolls during photoshoots?
>>14879174
Easiest way to make a doll look nice is to make her a maid with long black hair. It is a universally compatible style.
>>14879479
Just the cat photobombing the frame
>>14879479
Normal stuff like doll falling over, weapons dropping out of hand, being constricted by snake, etc.
Lizanna is doing a one-day offer of 18mm and 20mm doll eyes. I'm doing up a ton of mockups to see how they'd fit.
God help me.
>>14877451
Is there any solution to dolls' legs giving them this inverse hips appearance?
>>14881814
Lizanna eyes are stunning in person, definitely in my top three.
>>14882059
It's mostly a bad angle I think. And proper clothing makes it not noticeable at all.
>>14881814
How do you even do eye mockups?
Like how do you know how much to scale the picture of the eyes down to make the proportions accurate?
>>14884755
Lizanna published how tall the irises are for each of the sizes. That's the real saving grace here.
I took a photo of the empty head next to a metric ruler and also roughly measured the height of the eye hole in real life. Miku's eyeholes looked to be about 10-11mm at the very tallest. I'm pretty sure these mockups aren't super accurate, but they're enough to give me a rough idea of what I want. At nearly $40 a pop, I don't want to buy a pair of eyes I'm not in love with.
Pic related-- part of the photoshop magic.
Anyone know whats going on with the Volks USA site. Seems to be down on my end of things...
So I really want to get her a white wig from leekeworld. But I don't fucking know what one. I plan on here wearing these shorts and probably a t-shirt. Also considering glasses also but I don't know.
>>14886795
its fucked, check their facebook page
I know a regular DD bust will technically fit on a DDS body, but does anybody know if it still looks good?
I set up a thing a while ago to notify me when volks restocked their DDS S bust and got the email while I was at work last night, but now it's already sold out again.
>>14886795
Turns out there web host fucked up the store database.
Then Deleted it.
And the backups.
It's quite sad really they just re launched too. Time for a new webhost I guess.
Does anyone else think that the volks usa thing is just an elaborate lie? I'm a bit skeptical
>>14889333
So let me get this straight. They took down the webstore for three months to improve customer service and they couldn't even manage to find a host that keeps off-site backups? Wow.
>>14889264
It'll look fine, I have a DD bust on my Chihaya. The shape is a bit different but it's not noticeable unless you really know what to look for and who knows, you might even prefer the look of a DD bust over the DDS bust.
What's the best way to get remove semen discoloration? Is there a special paint matched to her skin tone?
>>14889333
>>14890134
>>14890428
theyve only complained about their webhost before so if it took them this long to get rid of them im not too sympathetic
>>14889333
>>14890134
>>14890428
>>14890517
I wonder if they didn't pay their dev or something and this is their punishment.
Another option: the reason they took the site down for 2 months was so they could work on their site live. Since it's live, no need for backups, right? Hire shitty web people, hire shitty server people, get shitty results.
There should be no reason the developer of the website can't get the copy of the site they worked on back up within a day.
>>14890517
From what I heard, the previous host promised to fix problems if they kept increasing their service plan. (which ended up not solving anything)
Now apparently they changed servers and everything got accidentally wiped
>>14890614
As far I know the devs are in house, because they always reference their Japan HQ whenever I asked them details about their web-store issues and if they wanted me to help them with solving any issues (with compensation of course)
>>14890630
So then surely all the code is in their VCS right? The facebook page says that all the work done in the last months is lost. Are they referring to migration data? Seems fishy.
okay it was a new host and it was definitely not VolksUSA's fault
they just got REALLY fucked over
>>14890848
maybe they got so many orders they closed to the site to stop people from ordering
I'm pretty sure there was a bunch of people waiting to order when it reopened
>>14890614
they should of just used Squarespace
>>14890875
Maybe it's not their fault technically or legally but they could have prevented any major issues if they had someone on payroll who knew what they were doing.

People are hating on Cake?
I remember the first time you posted her, I still think she's adorable
>>14894861
Thanks.
It's that People dislike how I dress her and my other girls.
Also still looking for wig styles for her. >>14888240 I would like to buy it before I buy her.
>>14894861
people actually like Cake?
then again I suppose that guy is the only one keeping these threads alive

>>14899753
These two will both be mine.
So I signed up for DoA, but I can't post. What do I do?
>>14900670
Wait for your account to be approved. Might take a few hours up to a few days depending on the mood of the mods.
Any predictions on the VolksUSA online opening again? I'm curious. How long was it down for in the first place? Should be more hasty this time around, considering that PR blunder.
>>14901171
they lost all the work they put in during their like 2 month "fix the website" break
so they'll either put up the old website again or spend more time remaking what was lost
itll likely be a while
>>14901202
Well.. If that's the case, is there any other webstore that has their offerings on DD's and what not. ~500 is a lot to put forth willynilly to an dealer other that whats deemed to be an official retailer you know?
>>14901233
Volks Intl.
Alternatively you could check Dollfieworld, though they are known to mark up the items they have. But they are reputable.
gg Mandarake wp
no re tho
>>14901618
I don't get it.
>>14901618
What did you get?
Anybody know where I could get a black tank top that isn't a stain monster? I bought one a while ago, but no amount of washing seems to stop dye from immediately rubbing off onto my doll.
>>14901654

>>14901795
Two sets of underwear, one MSD and one SD size that was labelled as an MSD and now either needs modifications or to be resold, and a pink fluffy adorable feminine dress set.
>>14903234
Isn't it awful that the contents are posted right at the front of the box? Thankfully, my mail clerk apparently doesn't read it.
i wish i could afford dollies ;___;
>>14905070
you could if you sacrifice unimportant luxuries like snacks and alcohol!
>>14905631
And food, the rent/mortgage, electricity bill and internet connection. All unnecessary expenses.
Also consider trading your sanity, health, well being and lifespan for pitifully small monetary gain at one of the numerous slave holding/leasing facilities in the area. It takes a lot out of you effectively leaving you an empty shell of your former self but hey at least you can afford dolls if you do it long enough.
>>14905798
worth it all for true happiness.
>>14905798
I see your girl so often and she is an absolute heart melting knockout cutie. what model or parts is she based from? shes so impressive and you should be proud to have her as a daughter. Your devotion is to be admired.
>>14905866
Ok just to be clear she isn't mine. Her name is Kaoru and all her photos are stolen from and reposted without the permission of https://twitter.com/LunuPointerEx

Ah man she is super cute
I guess I desided to get a LR-142_E in White from leekeworld probably going to order that soon. A ponytail would be cute.
>>14907894
Almost as good as a twin tail.
So Im about to go in on a DD dy and Im wondering, do they feel like theyre worth 500 dollars in your hands? Are they sturdy and well made or do they require more delicacy when being posed etc.
>>14908210
They're pretty sturdy; I think you'd have to be a massive retard to break the body while trying to pose it. Even if you do break something, body parts are easily replaceable.
Always be careful with the face, though. You don't want that to get dirty or scratched.
>>14908145
I have a twin tail already. They are great
In other news I may post some images I saved from earlier threads. First up one of the cutest girls that does not get posted here enough.
>>14908287
yeah but i posted her like last week stop complaining!
>>14903234
Pics of the dress?
Requesting pics of dolls in underwear
>>14908210
What is the difference between the standard DD's and the DD dynamite? I cant seem to tell, aside from bust size.
>>14910412
There's quite the difference. There's a post in the Dollfie Dreams forums that very helpfully shows the differences in multiple photos/poses for DDI/DDII/MDD/DDDy. Here's one photo from the set. The DDDy is on the right, and the Rei (left) is a DDII.
The bust cut is the most obvious sign, but the waist, hips and thighs are wider as well.
Does the Volks International site restock on order or what? How does that work? Anyone have experience ordering from them? Shipping details, all of that.
>>14911383
They restock randomly. Shipping is EMS only.
>>14911386
Any time frames on restock you've noticed? weeks, months? Sorry if i'm being too intense with questions, just truly curious. My first order was going to be from the USA storefront but we all see how that went.
>>14911397
I think maybe a month, but they aren't consistent. I use an extension called visualping to monitor pages if I need to.
What stands can you guys recommend? I need to buy a couple.
>>14911808
The Coolcat stands are really nice. Alternatively, if you're into wooden bases then the Volks stands are pretty solid. Avoid the plastic Volks stands though, they're garbage.
>>14910335
Does this count?
>>14910335
Here you go.
I kind of understand my sister in law's pain now. Finding properly fitting bras for a busty girl is really difficult. Those washboards have it lucky, just about any camisole or t-shirt does the job but when you're carrying a big ole' pair of hooters around that's just not an option for any extended period of time.
>>14913911
I'm considering taking her back to an M-bust. Her huge tits make putting clothing on a pain, nothing intimate fits properly and they are just more trouble than they are worth and to be honest I like my little washboards better anyway. I just made her busty since she's meant to be the adult sister to the other girls in my dungeon.
You can't see it but her blouse isn't actually buttoned up since it simply would not stretch far enough.
So I've read faq and just don't get from where you guys are buying that mega-cute dolls like this one >>14905927
I looked into what DD has in offer and the heads, eyes and wigs feel rather cheap. Guess they're custom builds dolls? If you're totally new to that hobby, how did you know which parts and from where to buy - and what with makeup, do you do it by yourself?
>>14916599
>how did you know which parts and from where to buy
There are a lot of different places that sell clothes, wigs, eyes, etc. Some are listed in the FAQs. Eye and clothing sizes depend on what exactly your doll is, but all DD heads generally wear 8-9 inch wigs.
>and what with makeup, do you do it by yourself?
You have a few options for getting a dolly with a custom faceup. You can paint it yourself (dear god don't do this if you aren't skilled), find a faceup artist you like that takes commissions, or bid on something on Yahoo Japan Auctions via a proxy service. Heads on Y!JA often go for a lot of money, though. Occasionally custom heads will turn up on Mandarake, too.
>>14916599
The DDs produced by Volks are generally lower end quality but for a high price (Since they are a newer company iirc). Better cost efficient options (and higher quality) are SQ Labs, Smart Doll, Azone, Obitsu and some of the Luts dollfie are some long standing companies. Try looking there first.
