Volks Dollfie Dream Sister 50cm discussion part 1

Aug 2, 2012

Page 1 of 3
    1. Hihi! I would like to know what your thoughts are on the dollfie dream sister. Im debating wether to get her next year or not of course she isnt cheap but im saving up. :D
      I also had some questions about her body and height.
      First question, would a resin head fit a dds body?? If so what size? Dont get me wrong i love the dd heads but it doesnt go along with my character im working on.
      Second question, how tall is 50cm? I would like to see a comparasin if possible. :)

    2. I have two LE DDS girls, and DD sister body is my most favourite of all DD bodies. It's a bit stockier than the regular DDII and DDIII bodies, the thighs and legs are a little thicker. I don't know if you are familiar with other DD base bodies but the height difference between DDII and DDS is not too much, it's barely noticeable. The pose ability is like the new and improved DDIII body, it's simply amazing!!! DDS body looks gorgeous, poses beautifully, and is suitable for a young/teenage girl character.
      I'm not sure about its compatibility with resin heads from other companies, but SQ labs make SD size resin heads to go with the DD base bodies. Hope that helps, good luck!

    4. Can I pipe in with a question?? :D

      What's a general expected price for a DDS body? I understand they don't sell them separately yet -- so any bodies would have to come from LE dolls... but I guess my concern is certain DDS dolls when they do a split might put too much of the cost on the body, when the body is usually the most generic of the LE.

      I really want one now to make the companion character for my MDD - but b/c of the body shortage I'm not sure how much is reasonable.. Really against paying way more than what it's worth (of course any item is really worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it... but yknow what i mean! ^^;)

    5. mangaemi you can get the parts from the volks store it well cost you around 350.00 or more depending on shipping ect. If you want to get a body from the MP you are going to pay 400.00 and up for a DDS body.

      I have 2 DDS girls and l love them also they have two size's of bust. My frist girl is the M bust body and the other one is the small bust body.

    6. welcome dear!! :)
      From my calculations buying DDS in pieces it will be around $330 without shipping being included i dont know how much Volks charges for shipping now days. I really do hope they start selling her all assembled soon lol im sure it would probably save us some money.

    8. I just went on the Volks site and they're out of the internal frame and the arms --- d'oh! Shipping with volks usually for me is like 20$ for UPS slow-as-all-get-out service.. but I live on the opposite side of the US and I try to make sure I get enough items to make the most of their shipping charge.

      If only some of the new Sendai dolls (Especially the Sakura Wars one) was a DDS... then I could justify plunking down some serious cash for her and get the body, a win win... but alas... ~__~

    9. I dont think that volks will make the DDS body available by them self's for quite a while. At least not until next year. The best bet in getting one is getting a body off the Market Place.

    10. Oooh!! Her hands are cuuute!! :D makes want one mooore lol thank you dear!! Shes lovely!!

      20?! Oh my, i live 1 hour away from VolksUsa i would love to make the trip there in person if i do decide ro get a DDS. Maybe it will save me a little bit of money lol i hope

      Well hopefully they do by next year i can probably wait lol gives me time to save up and draw more ideas out for her character too. I can never seem to find a DD or DDS on the market place on here. :(

    11. I usually check mandarake, yahoo japan auctions, and dollfiedreams.com for items I'm looking for. I'm trying to find a way to do a split to get the body, that's always an option too : )
       
      #11 mangaemi, Aug 2, 2012
    12. Mz. Spade thanks and she is cute. I want to get her different hands due to that's the ones that she came with. If you need any info l'll try to help you the best l can.
       
      #12 Captin Janeway, Aug 2, 2012
    13. Ooh so theres a possibility i can find a whole? :D yay! Still dont have the money but ill keep an eye out for sure!! Splitting?

      Thank you Captin!! <3 are their hands soft or hard?? My character has a katana hehe. I wonder if anyone has put a resin head on a DD before, hmm. So far i found two that fancy me for my character, souldoll kid amy head and peakswoods bug Koonies head..they should fit,right?
       
      #13 ~Mz.Spade~, Aug 3, 2012
    14. Mz. Spade l'm not sure on the on those typ of heads if they well fit on the DDS body. The DDS hands are hard and you have to pull them off.
       
      #14 Captin Janeway, Aug 3, 2012
    15. Oooh no! :( do you know if any resin head could possibly fit? They looked soft lol. I hear the arm sockets can crack?? Is this true?
       
      #15 ~Mz.Spade~, Aug 3, 2012
    16. yea like if you see a full set doll on Mandarake or Yahoo Japan auctions if you know enough people (obviously there has to be strong trust here ;D) you go on the doll as a group and everything is pieced out, like the body, head, eyes, clothes, shoes, etc. usually it's off a percentage : )

    17. I love the look of the DDS bodies, and it does seem like they're capable of some pretty amazing poses! I'd love to get one as my Sailor Saturn fandoll. :)

      EDIT: Also, I've heard that the DDIII bodies have had problems with parts cracking- does anyone know if DDS has the same problem?
       
      #17 kaschan502, Aug 3, 2012
    18. Oh ok :) i yet have to find someone i trust on here lol one day.

      Oih sailor saturn!! :) *does sailor moon pose* hehe
      Yeah im curious aswell about cracking and how to prevent it
       
      #18 ~Mz.Spade~, Aug 3, 2012
    19. Mz. Spade the only resin head that l know of that fit the DDS body is the SQ Lab heads due to l have one. I'v head that there could be some prombles with cracking but l'v had not ran into these prombles has of yet.
