This is new, revealed at the last Dollshow:)

Thanks bro. Had a heart attack when I saw the account suspended message.

>>17013855
seems it's just the buyfags.moe account that simplified the urls

>>17013031
the old url still works fyi, tinyurl dot com slash dollfaq We switched it to .moe because someone had trust issues with tinyurl

>Maybe more of their clothing is cross-compatible now.
I believe they're closer in size to DDS/DDP(?) dolls. I'll see if I can try some test fitting later. Til then, nyan.

Found some pics of the Nagoya store in my photo album. As you can see quite a few non-Azone things are available (I think someone asked about hair accessories a few threads back) as well as furniture.

On a mostly unrelated note, is anyone traveling in March? The Spring Dollshow is gong to be in Asakusa which is in throwing distance from Senso-ji and the sky tree station.

Can't believe it took me years to change her eyes, wish I did it sooner. Anyway, keeping up with the Christmas mood with a hat made for dogs and cats.

The lower left. It's safe to say short sleeves seem to be a fact of life when it comes to these sweaters, but the neck treatment is miles ahead of the other two.

Moving on to one from the upper right. Sweater is baggy and the neck is also loose,thought not as bad as the one above.

Pic of one of the first two.

The sleeves are short and the neck leaves a bit to be desired.

Alright guys, back from the store and took some pics.
Top row are what were in stores and bottom row are sweaters I've showed earlier.

Starting with the top, not including the scarf, the first two measure roughly 7.5 inches around or the bust or 3.75 inches laying flat. They come from the same maker as the red one in the bottom row but the necks are notably wider.

In the upper right the busts measure 9 inches around or 4.5 inches laying flat.

Bottom left, same brand as the first two but as you can see the neck is smaller, since they didn't have doll sin mind when making these the sizing is always a crapshoot.

Bottom right, the sweater profiled here >>16231205. 7.5 inches around or the bust or 3.75 inches laying flat

Pics on DD to follow.

Tell you what: This weekend I'll grab a couple more and model them on different dolls for everyone's benefit.

>>16231124
>Will this work for DDs or MDDs only? Those are MDDs you have right.
MDD and a Para40 which is MDD sized, more or less. I haven't tried then on DD yet but am confident they fit.

One thing to look out for when buying these is the necks. some look like they're designed to fit snugly around a bottle's neck, and some are more slack and look like they're supposed to sit further down the bottle. I really wanted to buy one with a reindeer applique on it yesterday but the neck was pretty wide. Might work as an off-the-shoulder sweater though?

Thanks guys appreciate the comments.

Holiday PSA:

If you're lacking festive clothes, sweaters made for decorating wine bottles are inexpensive and work in a pinch.

If they want to chat, talk if they're interested. Otherwise they're just passing through.

Well, since she stopped selling heads at events I guess her auctions really is the only choice. Not saying it's not worth it but it's a shame to have to pay so much now. Congrats on the win and enjoy your trip!

>I don't know what it is about Azone original dolls that makes them sell out immediately. Their anime character dolls tend to be available for preorder until the very end and then go directly for discount prices. But most of the PureNeemo and 1/3 scaled dolls appear to be gone before they hit front page.

Can't speak for their following but I'm particularly in love with the doe-eyed look paired with the understated mouths.

In contrast to character dolls, maybe it's because they don't have production designs and character art to live up to? I've bought a couple 1/3 character dolls and have to agree they come up a little short.

>I don't even collect them, just really wondering what makes them so super popular, or are the available numbers just way lower than most other figures.

The white/silver haired ones seem to be the most popular. Purple, blue, blond and brunette ones seem to last longer in webstores but every time a white/silver one is released the preorders are almost always crushed. Just my perspective since I missed out on the original Lilia and Cecily so for me every release is like a second chance.

No, you don't have to. Different format cameras, small or large allow you to frame your shot on the display. Some even let you do it from a laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Everything is amazing when you're a doll!

>If you like the body look at obitsu 45, they are a bit similar
>>16116899
>I meant 40
There's a small caveat to that. The 40cm body is more or less a shortened 50cm body. So the hip and torso proportions are a little thicker. MDD clothes may be tight depending on the outfit. Put 50cm clothes on them and they amusingly fill a gap between MDD and 50cm.

Both. I used to worry about searching or the x-ray tech giving you weird looks but after it happens a couple times you get used to it and have fewer fucks to give. Of course, if you're worried about checked luggage being thrown about by imbeciles, carry on.

Between SD and DD: like others have already said, a vinyl doll is more durable and weighs less than resin. MDD is very bag friendly. Fits in backpacks and along the long edge of a carry-on compliant suitcase.

and, if you're *really* space-conscious, a Parabox (Obitsu) 40cm (MDD height) folds 180 degrees at the knees, taking several cm off the length at nearly no cost of the thickness resulting in something roughly the size of a 1 liter bottle and can fit in the corner of a camera bag.

*whips out doll*

Fuck.
Forgot about the cropping issue.

Panel wasn't amazing, just a dozen people at most. Mostly resin oriented

I'd prefer if you didn't thanks.
