baldylox Posted September 5, 2014 Yay! Thanks to one of my main enablers, Kymaera, I was finally able to adopt one of the VMF50 girls! I got a Nao in tan skin with full body blushing off ebay for a very good price. She arrived today and I'm so happy with how she looks! But.... I do have some issues.... Mainly, she's missing her left elbow cover. And she doesn't have the boobs I want either. That's not a huge deal at the moment tho. This brings me to my questions tho. 1) I was pointed to this website to get the chest I want and this is the set: http://arcadia.ac/item/detail.php?gid=83 I wouldn't mind having this set as well but it's also listed as sold out. http://arcadia.ac/item/detail.php?gid=168 When I translated the page into English, it says that it's sold out. Where else can I find this torso to buy? 2) Where do I get an elbow cover in tan skin from? I couldn't find any listings on the Angel Phillia site for those pieces. Can I get them from Parabox or Obitsu in tan? I don't think they have that color choice do they? That's it for now. Any info or help would be much appreciated as I'd like to get my new girl to where I want her to be as soon as I can. Thanks in advance! And I'll try and get some pics of her to share here soon! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got a Nao in tan skin with full body blushing off ebay for a very good price. She arrived today and I'm so happy with how she looks! Congratulations on you recent acquisition! The VMF/Angel Philia girls are quite hot. I've got a few (coughabout16cough) myself. 1) I was pointed to this website to get the chest I want When I translated the page into English, it says that it's sold out. Where else can I find this torso to buy? I'm sorry to say, the news I have isn't very good. Yamato, now Arcadia/Angel Philia, have never been very good about supplying replacement parts. The couple of times the parts have been "stocked", the bust/abdomen parts sold out very fast (in less than two days). My guess is that if they did make these replacement parts plentiful, people would buy the busts and abdomen vinyls and put them on stock Obitsu 50cms, thus getting nearly the same look for about 15,000yen less than the Angel Philia price. Your best bet is to stalk Yahoo Japan Auctions as they do come up on occasion, but the sellers are usually asking for a premium price. 2) Where do I get an elbow cover in tan skin from? I couldn't find any listings on the Angel Phillia site for those pieces. Can I get them from Parabox or Obitsu in tan? I don't think they have that color choice do they? The elbow cap is a skeleton part, actually part of the elbow joint assembly. Yamato sold tan skin skeleton parts briefly before they went belly up and became Arcadia. Since then I have not seen any tan skin skeleton parts offered. To compound your problem the tan skin is an exclusive Yamato/Angel Philia color and only available through them. Though Obitsu manufactures the Angel Philia bodies they do not sell spare tan skin parts. Your best bet is to buy a replacement 50cm elbow joint (from the retailer Parabox) and use one of the caps as a replacement. You can paint the cap to match the rest of the joint assembly. Since the cap doesn't rub against anything (unlike other elements of the elbow assembly) you won't have to worry much about the paint rubbing off. Thanks in advance! And I'll try and get some pics of her to share here soon! Pictures are manditory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poofiemus Posted September 6, 2014 Congratulations! Heh, yeah, Kymaera's one heck of an enabler, and with RinRin on hand to spam you with, you didn't stand a chance--especially when he's so determined to be right about you not staying at 30 girls. It's a bummer about the elbow cover. Hope you can get a good color match; maybe you can try dye in addition to paint? I do think the elbow parts come in pairs. . .

baldylox Posted September 6, 2014 Congratulations on you recent acquisition! The VMF/Angel Philia girls are quite hot. I've got a few (coughabout16cough) myself. Thank you! I agree that the hotness is what first drew me towards them. But I really love the face on Nao... she looks sweet but can be a little sexy and even mischievous depending on the angle of photos. You've got 16 of them? Wow! Any photos of the group together? I'm sorry to say, the news I have isn't very good. Yamato, now Arcadia/Angel Philia, have never been very good about supplying replacement parts. The couple of times the parts have been "stocked", the bust/abdomen parts sold out very fast (in less than two days). My guess is that if they did make these replacement parts plentiful, people would buy the busts and abdomen vinyls and put them on stock Obitsu 50cms, thus getting nearly the same look for about 15,000yen less than the Angel Philia price. Damn.... that sucks for sure. I guess I'll have to keep an eagle eye on that site to see if anymore become available. I really, REALLY want the larger bust for my girl so I'll have to wait it out and see how things go. Maybe I can do a "wanted" post here too in hopes that someone might want to sell a set they have? That makes sense on the parts tho, I'm sure people would do that to save money... I know I would if I had the chance. Your best bet is to stalk Yahoo Japan Auctions as they do come up on occasion, but the sellers are usually asking for a premium price. Bleah, premium pricing, extra shipping and buyer fees will really go high I'm sure. But I really do want a set of those so I'll do what I can to obtain them. Thank you for the info! And if you happen to see any up for sale, please let me know! The elbow cap is a skeleton part, actually part of the elbow joint assembly. Yamato sold tan skin skeleton parts briefly before they went belly up and became Arcadia. Since then I have not seen any tan skin skeleton parts offered.

Since the cap doesn't rub against anything (unlike other elements of the elbow assembly) you won't have to worry much about the paint rubbing off. That's what I was afraid of.... being an exclusive color for an exclusive line of girls. But like you said, getting a regular skin one from Parabox and having it either painted or dyed sounds like the way to go. I even thought about getting one and putting it on her as is to simulate a "birth mark" of sorts. Not sure what I'll do but I can't have her go without an elbow cover for long as it bugs me to no end. Pictures are manditory. Hee hee, of course! If there's no photos then it didn't happen! And here are the photos! DSC_2684 by balldylox, on Flickr I think I've decided on a name for her. It came to me yesterday when I was putting shoes on her. It's Hikari. DSC_2685 by balldylox, on Flickr The wig she has on didn't come with her, it's an extra my girlfriend has for one of her resin girls. I like it on her for now. As for the clothes she's wearing, that's a Volks MDD set! I'm amazed it fits her so well! The denim shorts WERE a little difficult to get over those thighs tho.... those wonderful thick thighs.... DSC_2686 by balldylox, on Flickr She came with two sets of hands, these gripping ones and the regular defaults. Both have painted nails which I really like. DSC_2687 by balldylox, on Flickr Her toenails are painted too! DSC_2688 by balldylox, on Flickr She's a tan skinned girl and she has been blushed. It's not overly done either which I like better. DSC_2689 by balldylox, on Flickr You can see the blushing highlights on her tummy here better. DSC_2690 by balldylox, on Flickr She also came with these eyes. I don't mind them but I think I may change them out for some blues or greens in the future. I also love her faceup, it's simple but very pretty. DSC_2691 by balldylox, on Flickr So there she is! I'm super happy with her and even tho she isn't setup like I want her right now, in time she'll be the vision I want. But she's still awesome as she is and I'm lucky to have her. A huge thanks ( I think ) to Kymeara for tipping me off about her! If anyone has any ideas about getting a hold of the busts I want PLEASE let me know!

Heh, yeah, Kymaera's one heck of an enabler, and with RinRin on hand to spam you with, you didn't stand a chance--especially when he's so determined to be right about you not staying at 30 girls. Thank you! That turd Kymeara is VERY good at enabling and he's sent me TONS of photos of Rinrin along with almost every sale that's come up for her default version, Nao. That constant barrage did take it's toll tho. And he can't really say he's gotten me over the 30 mark on DD girls for two reasons. One reason is that Mirai isn't an actual DD so she doesn't *really* count towards the 30 DD's. With that reasoning, neither will Hikari! Reason number two? I'm at 30 actual DD girls already and HE didn't get me to go over that number. Even if he counts Mirai towards an end goal of 30, Hikari didn't send me over the 30 limit I set for myself..... someone else did. It's a bummer about the elbow cover. Hope you can get a good color match; maybe you can try dye in addition to paint? I do think the elbow parts come in pairs. . . Yeah it stinks but as said earlier, I can always try to dye one or have it painted to match. And if not, I can leave it as is and call it a birth mark!

K-2 Posted September 6, 2014 And here are the photos! That Nao is a cutie! See, that elbow cap hardly even shows! Seriously, you will want to find a replacement (of whatever color). The caps on the elbows and knees help hold the joint assembly parts together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted September 6, 2014 That Nao is a cutie! See, that elbow cap hardly even shows! Hee hee, thanks! Long sleeves do cover it nicely but I still know it's missing... Seriously, you will want to find a replacement (of whatever color). The caps on the elbows and knees help hold the joint assembly parts together. Yeah I figured it was needed for support. I did find the replacements of the entire elbow joint on the Parabox site: http://parabox.jp/obitsu/50parts/50RP-F01WP-31.html It's a pair of the whole joint including the caps so when I get them, I'll be covered in case of any breakage in the future of those joints. I'll order those soon. As for the bigger chest, I'll keep looking and see what comes up. Anyone here who can help or know someone who can? I'd appreciate it a ton!

K-2 Posted September 7, 2014 As for the bigger chest, I'll keep looking and see what comes up. Anyone here who can help or know someone who can? I'd appreciate it a ton! I have seen the Type G busts a couple of times on YJA, but have yet to see the two you've linked to. They are still relatively new and I don't think there were that many "spares" made. I will certainly let you know If I see anything. Steel your self. You just might have to buy another AP (or two). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted September 8, 2014 Resistance was futile. Preparation was irrelevant. You have been assimilated. Yeah, yeah. I knew it was inevitable that I was going to get a VMF girl eventually. But it's not really all your doing... altho having so many awesome pics of your Rinrin to shove in my face did help things along. Now I just need some new eyes for Hikari and that chest and we'll be doing great! I have seen the Type G busts a couple of times on YJA, but have yet to see the two you've linked to. They are still relatively new and I don't think there were that many "spares" made. I will certainly let you know If I see anything. It still amazes me that companies don't at least make *some* parts easily available for collectors looking to upgrade or change their girls. I do understand the bit about making your own VMF for cheaper than you can buy them whole but still. Not having extra busts for sale kinda sucks for collectors. And thanks so much for any help you can give! I really do appreciate it! Steel your self. You just might have to buy another AP (or two). Sigh... I already know I'll probably be getting one more for sure in the future. I really do love the Nao face and body setup I have now but my favorite VMF girl is Misa. She is just gorgeous. I *have* to get one! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted September 8, 2014 DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! WHY couldn't this have come up BEFORE I got the other one? So not cool.... all my monies went to my Hikari. I've never used the site that comes up on, how does it work? Is this one of the ones where you have to add money to an account before you can bid on an item? I'm guessing these guys have fees too? Just wondering is all. I seriously wish I had the money to try for this girl but I don't. Hopefully another one will come up for sale once I do have some available fundage.

salica Posted September 16, 2014 Congratulations !! I never knew you wanted one of the VMF 50 girls !? She is cute ! The one I wanted at the time was Sonico , but I'm fine with my own Sonico now I hope you'll find the missing pieces you want ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted September 16, 2014 Congratulations !! Thank you very much! I never knew you wanted one of the VMF 50 girls !? Hee hee, I guess I wasn't too vocal about it. But ever since I saw them about a year ago, I think I've secretly wanted one of my own. She is cute ! The one I wanted at the time was Sonico , but I'm fine with my own Sonico now Thank you! The VMF Sonico is very pretty, I like her a lot too but she's always so expensive! But I'm with you, I absolutely love your custom Sonico! She is so gorgeous and sweet! I hope you'll find the missing pieces you want ! Me too! It hasn't been easy but I'm sure with enuff poking around and bugging people, I'll get them eventually. Thanks!

K-2 Posted September 18, 2014 You've got 16 of them? Wow! Any photos of the group together? Your query prompted me to do an updated MADh Vinyl cast picture. It doesn't happen very often because it takes a while to set them all up. Most of them don't use the metal plates and some stand better than others with their various shoes (many heels). This took about 3 hours without playing "dominoes". The picture is too big to display properly in the forum so I linked to it. http://home.comcast.net/~anna-marie.nekomancer/MADhVinyl/NearlyEverybody01.jpg You probably wanted to see more "body" shots. It's not all of them, but a lot of different body types. Anna Marie Star (VMF Type B), Hyacinth (VMF Type B), Sapphire (VMF Type D), Anna Marie (VMF Type A), Rhiani (VMF Type E tan), Diamond (VMF Type F) Fu (VMF Type B) has the original Type B thighs, as compared to Anna Marie Star and Hyacinth above, which have Type D and Obitsu stock thighs respectively. Naruko (VMF Type G tan) Victoria (Pink Drops 3) Kalista (AP Lena), Penelope (Pink Drops 2), Iris (AP Misa) By the way, all the girls in those shots (not the full cast picture) are standing without the metal plate or a doll stand. Ya gotta love the 50cm's poise and balance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks so much for all the pics of your girls K-2! You have so many! I bet you have quite the fun time keeping them all in line. I totally agree that the Obitsu/VMF/Azone bodies are awesome for posing on their own. I used to have 3 MDD girls on the original bodies from Volks but after many recommendations from a good friend about the Obitsu 40cm body, I got one to test out and fell in love with it. Now I only have 2 MDD bodies out of 6 of that size girl. I managed to find some more eyes to fit my Hikari as well as a different wig. I should have some pics of her up soon to share here.
