      Congrats! You can check inside of the head and see if the details look clean and sharp - modern Volks heads have a logo stamp and a number or name inscribed, typically. However a very old dollfie like Chinatu could have a rougher interior without those details so it's better to confirm against the same sculpt if possible. Honestly I don't think YoSD get recast much if at all, and it's likely to be more rare/sought after versions that are recast anyway, so with the correct headplate I think you've likely got a legit doll. Resin dolls will yellow with age, but it can happen more quickly and unevenly with sunlight/UV exposure. Extreme temperature changes can age resin as well. One trick I've found with old yellowed resin is that a layer of pan pastel can brighten up the tone and make them look good as new - either white or white with a little lavender mixed in to neutralize yellows. You'd have to follow the same steps as a custom faceup with cleaning, priming with sealant, applying pastel, and then sealing well. But, since the pastel is translucent, you could potentially apply it around an existing faceup without too much difficulty.

      Hi there a bit of a late reply to this but wanted to put this advice out there to the world for reference. In regards to tiara staining. I have a sailor moon with the tiara. You know those tiny little round and square double sided sticky tape? 😉 put one on under the front and one on each end of the tiara where the three points most tightly hold against the vinyl. This will prevent slipping and staining with the tiara but only works effectively if it’s not going to be taken on and off regularly if it is just roll a bit of scotch tape so it holds from both sides will also do the same thing but enable you to remove and replace as needed.

      Okay so haven’t posted in a long while. But I am 9 Dollfie Dream children deep since my last post years ago when I was just getting my first and now here I am getting my first super Dollfie. It was kinda an impulse buy I don’t have as of yet but it’s a yosd from way back towards when the line first started. I checked all authenticity plates and inner head markings joints and am fully satisfied that she is authentic.    she’s my first non vinyl Dollfie, and she has a bit of a face up from her stock look that I will want to fix any advice for a seasoned Dollfie dream owner on things you wish you knew in caring for super dollfies or differences in removing and adding face up’s yellowing from age with resin eccetra?    also any additional failsafes to check for outside of what I listed to ensure there wasn’t any recast part swapping on her? It’s a chinatsu all dates on the head plate line up with her release timeframe 06,08
