Company makes weird decisions sometimes, to re-release saber alter 3rd time now, when there is already a surplus on the market. Y!J is flooded with the previous releases on sale now.

>>50826426
It's based on their customer votes from a year or so back. She's a very popular doll, so I'm not surprised. I am more bummed that they haven't put out a clothing set in a few collections now that's been a hit for me.

First calendar arrived after being lost in the mail for nearly 3 month. Tracking never updated after reaching Germany and it looks like it somehow never even went through customs. No idea how it got here.
Anyway, since I have two of them now: If anyone here (preferably from within the EU) missed their chance and would like one, let me know, and I’ll set up a temporary email account so you can send me your address.

i've seen a couple of teto bjds around so it's possible but it might be a bit harder if you want the synth v version with her weird hair accessory thing
if you want something exact you probably have to look on taobao or commission someone but i do see a couple of ringlet wigs on acbjd that might be similar enough at least until you get something else. getting that exact vibrant shade of red out the box might be the most difficult partalso since when did acbjd become so slow? is it just on my end? it's basically unusable
>>
>>50829253
Glad to hear it finally showed up. But also glad that I had a spare to send sooner. Must have fallen through the cracks somewhere in the processing and transfer.
>>50830893
I swear I've seen this done by someone on youtube or twitter but I can't find it for the life of me. It was even Teto herself.
But also there are a few examples on how to do it.

Can anyone ID the skin color of this head? Can't tell if flesh or semi white.
>>
>>50837478
It's really hard to tell from a picture like that. I have dolls in both skin tones, and even when they're next to each other it's hard to tell sometimes depending on lighting. If I had to guess, I'd say Semi-white. But like I said, it's really hard to tell.

At the risk of hate, this being /jp/.
Anyone have experience with iplehouse bjd?
To be hoesnt I have been kind of disappointed with the bad pose ability of my volks.
And I am looking for another 1/3, I am happy with azone for the smaller ones
>>
>>50845645
I haven't personally, but I've heard good things about their poseability over the years? Someone with more knowledge in resin can hopefully chime in on that front; what I know of mostly pertains to the fuckhuge male dolls, so things may be different for the smaller ones as well.

You're right. The posing ability is quite poor.
I'm not sure about iplehouse being a lot better than volks.
My brand new volks resin bjd dolls poses okay at best, and become progressively worse over the years without re-stringing.
Most resins strung or vinyl dolls have posing issues that needs some mods to improve (leather suede joints, hanger wires).
Some people use multi-pronged arm stands for dynamic poses to take pictures.

You can try these, but I personally think they would still tip over from wind outside.

I know this is 4chan and most people are permanently single anyway but on the off chance:
Whats the general reaction of woman to owning a bunch of dolls as a guy?
I do own a few dolls and a ton of figurines but I havent really had the opportunity to check.
>>
>>50849635
not sure what answer you're looking for with the way you're leading your question. depends on the type of doll and the type of woman. women generally compliment me when I go out for photos with my MDDs. the ones that stop to chat for a bit about it are either older grannies or women that are also into anime type stuff. they generally naturally recognize that it's different from like going around with a barbie or something
very rarely do I ever explicitly hear anything negative. maybe only in passing every once in a while, but people just leave me alone otherwise

My wife thought they were a sex thing. After I explained they weren't and they're more of a creative outlet she's still not thrilled about them, but she's less weird about them. But I didn't get dolls until after we were married.

>>50849635
My father had no problem with them, and most people I meet are, at most, positively curious about what you're doing if you have them out with you. Little old ladies WILL go out of their way to talk to you about their porcelain or reborn collection. People might judge you if they find out how much the hobby costs, but that goes for most hobbies in my experience. Most of all... find someone who support you for you. This isn't a harmful thing, it's a creative outlet, it's harmless fun. If anyone has a problem with it, you likely wouldn't be compatible on a deeper level, either.

Thats reassuring. I dont mind a few haters but I am quite proud of how cute my dolls are so obviously I want other people to also like them.

Based Mom. My mother and sister think mine are cute too.

Ouch. Thats my main fear with strangers.

My normal shop for custom hands is currently set to private, and has been for more than a year. They're still selling at conventions, which bums me out, but oh well. Does anybody have any shops they recommend that make custom DD hands? I don't mind using a proxy.

>love at first sight with an unobtainable volks model girl
holy fuck she is adorable
>>
>>

>>50849635
Depends but most people wouldn't really care. They might think it's weird or 'huh' for a moment before they focus on something else. The only person that was bothered by my dolls was a guy who get weirded out by anything that's he sees as even slightly weird (almost everything) but most find my dolls cute or pretty when they examine them closer.
The only dolls that seem to bother people are life sized or anything that's closer to human sized. I don't think most BJD owners collect those dolls anyways (not sex dolls btw)

probably because the straight of whoremoos is blockaded and that plastic(vinyl+resin) products are made from refined petroleum products.

Does anybody know if the DOLK collab dolls that have Japanese faceup artists design the makeup, does that faceup artist do the actual makeup on the sold dolls too? Because for the Marin doll that just came out, there are some pretty noticeable differences in owner pictures. None of them look bad, but some of them are off compared to the original. Top left looks really good, while top right is missing a lot of details, bottom photo is the stock doll. I know that the artist Renya passed away after fighting illness for years, so I don't know if it's a matter of she was doing the makeup and some of it looks worse due to health complications and burnout, or if they had to find a new faceup artist after her passing, or if DOLK qc is just like that.
If it's any of the former I understand completely especially because of the circumstances, but if they had other artists from the start then I'm a bit put off from buying any dolls in the future.

There's an (Old) Cocoa Smart Doll on auction right now if anyone's been looking for one, first time I've seen one in about five years.
