Things about this hobby that you find hilarious?

There were a few third party options floating around back in the day. I remember one called something like "peach pie" or similar, there may have been a different spelling. And there were other makers as well, ranging from moderately sized bubble boobs all the way to 'nature doesn't do that' sized variants. The perfect combination of body humor and stellar creativity. I love this hobby.

To make it work with a strung body, you'd need an internal part to take the tension and a silicone "skin" on top of that, but it probably could be done.

 

Alternately, tiny magnetic nipples and then magnets in a silicone boob

 

There's at least a couple of people here who would have more fun with those magnets then you think, and photograph the results.
Not me, though. Hahaha.

@MaleficentMrsofEvil Yes, never do that to Lacy. (I don't think I'll be able to get a mini Lacy this year. In fact, I'm still intimidated.)

 

Oh wow, that's hilarious! And yes, please give us the squishy man chests. I don't need them (maybe) but it's only fair!

Speaking of this topic, I undressed a doll body today, only to find that her nipples had, well, left their impression

 

I'd say your dorrie passed the meringue test (aka. stiff peaks) . *badum-tsss*

Sorry, lousy joke *hides*

 

He is glorious. I wonder if they'll ever make him in the mini size? I think he'd work for what I have in mind for the Mini Moob Man...

As for obtaining just the chest piece -- maybe you could ask one of the dealers or T&D directly?

 

I just found "slutty dressup spray" as a translation for some sealant on a company website. To be fair, it was using the AI translation option.

 

Honestly The wardrobes are one of many.
I used to say "Nope. They won't get better than me. I won't spend $25+ on clothes if I won't buy myself pants."
I lied. It's a total lie

Some sculpts are amusing too in a good way. From the oddball artist ones (IE Mr....Ahem- he's adorable for a "thing")

The magnetic and strung male parts are fun. I think I've played with both amused at how they work just for giggles.

Oh and the fact I turn heads when I mention body parts I mess with like eyes etc. Nothing funnier to watch than a non doll collector think you're freaky.

 

Oh yes, all the translation errors. My favorite to this day is on one of those miniature finger watches, sometimes sold as wrist watches for SD- sized dolls. The description read: "The clock may take a walk if battery is inserted."
I just have the image in my head of a wrist watch growing legs and happily go for a walk whenever it's bored.

 

When Telestesia and dragon first released their 1/4 version of the 72 vII body, they had an option with a silicone chest. The entire torso was 1 piece of silicone and the pelvis was a separate resin piece. They don't have the body on their taobao anymore though. But hopefully silicone moobs come back eventually!

 

Maybe with this screwdriver I could pry your eye out without taking off your head...

 

Really!?! What year did they release this version? Hmmm, maybe they discontinued due to structure integrity if the torso material is all silicone. That' gonna be tough supporting today's beefy arms and head.

Edit: I missed the part where you said it was on a 1/4 size body. With lighter limbs, now I wonder why T&D discontinued that body option

 

It was released ~march 2024 and I don’t know when exactly it was discontinued. It was released at the same time their normal 1/4 version of the 72cm v2 body was released.

Edit: I believe legend doll carried this option you could email them I suppose.

 

Doll-sized condoms, anyone?

 

I... had no idea they needed it...

But I guess we've reached a place in BJD sculpting that you can actually use these on your dolls. Newbie me 15 years ago was thrilled with "anatomically realistic", but man, I would never have imagined condoms would be the logical conclusion...

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil At least the leaf was tasteful!!!

 

@MaleficentMrsofEvil
Well I never expected the cthulu censor...
