Volks Super Dollfie ~ SD, SD13, SDGr, SD16, SD17 & FCS - Part V

Jun 15, 2012

    1. Fransyung, Elzamine & rosefinchat: Thank you so much! Yes, Im so glad my full crew is back together. XD.
       
    2. Oh Jo!!!! I love your Megu. While she's lovely, I am not a fan of her default faceup, so this is perfect. She is stunning!
       
    3. I just got 2 pair of those new styled SD13/Gr/16/17 option hands in Shadow resin... If anybody's wondering how they measure up on a Graffiti. I'm surprised-- they're just the same size as SD13 hands! I thought they'd be bigger.

      The nails are shorter and less pointed, and the knuckles are more angular. But the palm size, finger length, & finger thickness look about the same. They've got more veins-and-knuckles than SD13, but nowhere near as veiny as SD17. If you ignore the silly color-mismatch, Reika's left hand now looks all grown-up and suave.

      So that's really nice - at least they're no more oversized on a Graffiti than his own SD13 hands are. I still privately find both of those hands too big on those tiny skinny Graffiti arms... but as long as he's wearing long sleeves, it looks great. I think Reika wants a pair. (Yuki doesn't. They're too butch. ^^)

      Now I have to go put them on their intended SD17 Shadow recipient... which will require getting out the clamps & stringing-hook... SD17 default hands have the wristball attached, so these option hands come with their own wristballs, gotta use them. Will wrangle that later.
       
    4. Jo77, I love the face up your Shirou has! He really reminds me of the Hijikata sculpt with that expression he's got. You've got so many sexy SD17 boys I'm not sure which one I've got a bigger crush on!

      JennyNemesis, congrats on the SD17 hands! I never expected there to be such a big difference in skin tone between the normal and the shadow, looks quite lovely!
       
    5. JennyNemesis - Oooooo those hands are great! I love how they are mature looking but have less veins. <3
       
    6. Thank you for the comparison... I bought 2 for my Shirou but they aren't here yet. :D

      I changed Lili's hair... ^^ She looks cute with short hair... boyish~?

    7. Fransyung: omg!! She is so so cute!! That lil face and her clip!!'

      Jenny: thx for the pics! Mine arrived some time ago but no strings attached. Need to find strong strings to use. I shudder at the thought of the strings snapping if not tied properly! Cos i hv no idea hw to string the sd17 body.

      Gardenia: thk u so much! :) i will shoot a grp Pic soon after i fig out hw to style yukinojo! :)

      Carmen: huggles! I luv the default too but abit too bright to blend into my current crew. Hur hur!
       
    8. Congratz on your complete family Jo!!! XD Love to see your Megu back :)

      Jenny, thanks for sharing it! The new hands looks more mature and well developed than SD13 hands :D I hope that sdgr will be using those kind of hands in the future ;) I hope Volks will release those hands in normal skin T.T;;

      Fransyung-nee, Lili always be a cutie cute for me~ XD

      As for today o(_ _o) I'm taking a photo of Faldio... change his eyes and give him short-cut style wig :sweat

    9. I haven't been on this thread for ages. There are so many cute dolls photos to look at.

      fransyung: She is so cute. I adore girl with short hair haha. And the hair clips add even more cuteness factor. ^^

      DarkRu: Faldio looks so cool and handsome. His new eyes and wig look great.

      Nurie: Laelia is such a sweetie. She is one young looking school A girl. Big congrats on getting her home.

      captainkyo: I love how you styled your Rinon. Love her tights to bits. XD

      Jo77: Congrats for getting a new faceup on Kira. I hope you will come up with a name for her soon. :)


      It is probably too late to post a comparison pic of these bodies, but being late better than never right?
      I just realized I haven't uploaded this yet while going through my old photos today. OTL

      All bodies are using FO-01 flat feet parts. SD M bust body on the right is an FCS-only body.

    10. I like the SDgr body ! thank to posting that ^^
       
    11. The SDGr girl body looks like a scaled down version of the SD16 female body.
       
    12. Hello Faldio, you're looking very suave today :aheartbea

      I have a followup about these option hands, after spending the morning wrestling with Kimo's arm-stringing. (Volks strung him too tight for me to get the hooks out, the knot was hung up inside his torso, the vanished KIPSes were clogging everything up, he's a mess.)

      New hand on our left:

      New hand on our right:

      I'm not convinced I like the fit on SD17! The ball seems too big for the hand, or too big for the wrist, or something. Something's awkward.

      Or maybe it's just my eye needs to get used to it, seeing so much wristball. ^^ I think I could get used to the small size, if I kept them on for awhile. At-a-glance they don't look that much smaller than SD17 hands. And , more importantly, I don't think they're too small for his face. And the color match is perfect! But, I do like bigger hands better on the SD17 body.

      (This one also has a mobility problem, but it's probably from the problem with Kimo's stringing - every time I try to move it, the hook snags inside the ball. I need to do some tinkering.)
       
    13. Wow, these new hands may actually make it finally possible for my friend to make her Cristal boy SD17 so he'll finally have the right height difference with my Peroth.
       
    14. Cristal can have manly hands now! ^^

      Just noticed that if the 2 different hands aren't together, you can't really see the size-difference much, unless you're looking for it. Bracelets or long sleeves would camouflage the difference in wristball. I didn't think the SD17's own hands could be used to mix-and-match with the new, but that could easily pass in a photoshow. Just don't zoom in on the veins or lack thereof.

    15. lol it's more neither of us like the SD17 hands because they're too veiny for our tastes, and these new hands seem to be much more along the lines of what we would like.
       
    16. Thank you Koyuki! :D

      Thank you Jenny :D
      The ball looks slightly bigger than SD17's ball :o but... it doesn't look like it's noticeable... how about the wristball system? did volks use the same SD13 system for SD17?
       
    17. The SD17 hands have a different wristball: smaller, with the slot on the opposite end, and it's attached to the hand by a string. When you use the One-Touch thing, you pull both the hand & ball off, and the hook sits right into the arm.

      Both the old & new SD13/Gr hands have that bigger wristball, with the bigger slot, and it's not attached. When you use One-Touch, you just remove the hand, & seat the hook into the ball; the ball stays on the arm.

      I always thought the SD13 wristball was too big on Graffiti to begin with; never thought that to be a good choice on Volks's part in the first place. Graffiti & SD17 both have such narrow wrists. The chunkier SD13 wears it the best, imho.

      It's true, the new ones are nicely masculine without being so veiny & huge. Even I wish the SD17 hands would have fewer veins-- although I do still prefer the bigger size. Especially for Kimo, with his big Shiro face. ^^
       
    18. Kana has been working hard today. ^_^

      A couple more shots in the gallery.
       
    19. To Koyuki and Jenny : Thank you so much for the photos... :3

      I've always wondered how the girl bodies would be if put side by side... now I get my answer. It seems the SD10/SD13 girl body have bigger necks than the SDGr girl body? Or the SDGr girl body has a longer neck? >.>

      And the hands! @_@ I'd love them to be on SD13/SDGr boy bodies rather than on SD17... :3 They'd make the boys look more mature. The men can stay men... with bulging veins. ^^

      Ethan says hi to Faldio~ :') Already missing his brothers too much now!
