Angel Philia

congrats on your i type body!
the hands are sculpted exactly the same, the only difference is the blushing and painting. (:

 

Not true!

@MoiBakaDesu Angel Philia hands have unique sculpts, they are NOT the same as the option Obitsu hands.

Notable differences:
- Obitsu fist hands have the thumb curled inwards, like a "punch" hand, while AP has the thumb on the outside, like a girly "cute" fist
- Obitsu "default" hands have much thicker fingers and no sculpted knuckles, AP are slimmer and there's a sculpted "peak" for each knuckle, the pinky is also lifted (like for high tea!)
- Obitsu grasping hands are slightly looser, AP grasping hand are curled much more tightly, especially on the left hand the difference is quite noticeable

I'm obsessed with hands so I'm always hyper aware of even tiny sculpt differences.

 

Here's a quick snap of the fist hands side by side, the sculpting differencs are quite clear!

Angel Philia vs Obitsu Hands

 

huh maybe it's because i have the vmf50 version of sayo that her 'natural' hands are the same as default obitsu hands?

 

Oh, interesting, thank you for the comparison!
The bodies I got come with various sets of AP hands, but I did get myself the set of Obitsu hands with the peace hands, pointing hands and stretched out palms, so I hope once I blushed and glossed these they will fit the aestethics at least decently.
Because I am the same in that regard, I am a fan of nicely sculpted doll hands.

 

The AP hands tend to have slimmer fingers, so I personally don't mix Obitsu and AP hands on the same doll -- it's a slight difference but I'm super picky.

But I do like having all the hands! I'll just switch a doll to all-Obitsu hands when I want to use the peace sign, or back to all-AP hands. So I try to always get every single hand variant for maximum versatility.

 

Hello everyone, I just purchased a Tan Honoka second hand and I am really confused about clothing size after doing research. I have a lot of Sd clothing but it looks like pants will only be able to fit her in Sd size? And msd size for tops and skirts?

Could someone kindly direct me in the right direction -so confused

 

@P.Tsuki Yeah, that's about right.
Obitsu 50, and Azone AZO2 is also common choices for clothes, depending on your AP body parts. So compare measurements.

 

Thanks very much @Yumeiro! This is super helpful! I am definitely going to take a look a Obitsu 50 and Azone AZO2 clothing.

 

I just wanted to share my new Type-N head I traded for at a meetup recently. I'm still working to get her a separate body so she doesn't have to share, but she's been fun to play with already.
Also grabbed this cute kitty set, so of course she had to wear it!

 

She’s so cute Beansproutmomo! I love her faceup and outfit!

 

Thank you so much! I am excited to work on her whole "final" look this year.

 

I got this cute Monique wig at a meetup over the weekend, so I tried my hand at styling the bangs.

 

So I've started looking at Angel Philia dolls, because I didn't even realize they could use other heads besides the base ones that are made for them.

How often do these really come up for sale? I've started to peek at faithz and mandarake over the past few weeks and I'm curious to know how difficult they actually are to get (or if the second hand market is the easier place to get them)

 

Oh nice, yes I have the Bonelace 3D printed neck connector, which allows you to connect other BJD heads to the AP bodies. Bonelace also offers a Fairland neck connector.
Here is the link to it: LINK

For blank heads, Dolk's Taobao is a great resource!
Here is their current shop where I searched for "angelphilia". LINK
I use ParcelUp for my Taobao proxy, so that's why this link is there. You can copy the taobao link from their page, if you need to send that to your own proxy preference.

 

I think it depends what specifically you’re looking for. If you’re just looking for any doll/body, it should be fairly easy (there’s usually at least one preorder starting around every month or two) especially if you don’t care about head sculpt.
Certain body pieces can be much harder to get (in my experience that was C2 and G busts and the I lower torso) so it just depends what you want.

I’ve only bought two of my (soon to be) 8 APs secondhand— one was from DollyTeria, if you haven’t looked there yet I recommend it although they don’t always have dolls.

 

Thank you both for your responses!
I do think I am mainly interested in getting an AP body, though there are a couple of heads they have that I do think are very cute and wouldn't mind having.

I'm going to check out all the links you both provided and keep my eye out

 

You're welcome! Hope you find just what you are looking for!

 

It took quite a while, due to the Pink Drops doll I ordered being delayed over amonth from the initial release date, but my boy AP is finally real now.


I really already love the feel of these dolls, feels so sturdy and nice to pose. And the soft skin is downright addicting to touch. I definitely underestimated the sheer size of the booty though, haha. The shorts on the picture look fine from the front, but ... don't cover a lot from behind.
I was also quite surprised how big the color difference is between batches, because the chest I got is older than the brand new body there is quite the difference, and not only because of different blushing. It is not noticeable on pictures at least.
