little sister versions of nico, mai, and mel

Nico was actually the SD version of SDM-F-29 (fairy head) or SDM-F-59 https://ningyobingo.com/NeoAngelDen/heads/msd-f59.php (human head), while Mai was the SD version of SDM-F-33 https://ningyobingo.com/NeoAngelDen/heads/msd-f33.php . As far as I'm aware, Mel is her own sculpt, though.

Momo and Hina are also their own sculpts to my knowledge, but Noa was actually the SDM version of SD-F-67 https://ningyobingo.com/NeoAngelDen/heads/sd-f67.php (although I hear 67 called "big Noa" from time to time, despite 67 predating Noa by about a year iirc)

Coco, Saki, and Chiyo (SD) were the set of SD10 standards before Mai, Nico, and Mel came out. I'm delighted to see them in MSD form 👀👀 I have 3 Coco FCS sculpts in my collection (SD-F-60) and I'm eager for the SDM heads to join the full choice lineup in the next couple of years.

ah, i see!! thanks so much, i still have so much to learn when it comes to sds... nico's true msd counterpart is such a cutie!!! i do still think that hina/momo/noa share features with nico/mai/mel that give a 'little sister' feeling, even if it was unintentional on volks' part... so it'll just be my personal little headcanon, lol C-:

So lately I rapidly switched from "Lukewarm on Super Dollfies" to "want one super badly", lol. I'm trying to keep my eyes peeled for a fixer-upper secondhand. I like the faceups Volks does, but I wanna try my hand at something more adventurous someday!

So, almost immediately after my post about Mel being discontinued, I ended up finding an extremely nice person on Instagram that was selling their Lucia! Lucia was the Volks SD sculpt that was always the "pie in the sky" sculpt since she was limited, so I was so hyped to find her! She's got a little chip in her eye makeup and I think that one of her prior owners might have changed out the body for a SD13 because of the different knees and hands, but she was too beautiful to pass up. I'm so in love with her, she's so gorgeous in person! She's also extremely HEAVY omg. I thought my Myou doll would prepare me for the weight of resin but nope. I went to change one of my DD's skirt after handling her and my DD felt like a feather in comparison! I have a newfound respect for the old school lolitas that would carry around a whole SD in a matching coord with them all day because carrying her around in my noodle arms feels like lifting weights lol.

Her leg joints are a little finicky and like to pop out of the sockets when posing since they're a tad loose and don't have the double joints that a lot of modern bjds have, but it weirdly gives her a bit of a charming vintage feel lol. I will likely end up restringing her somewhat soon though, which is a little intimidating since I've only ever had to restring my 1/6 and 1/12 bjds.

I've noticed that Dollyteria has a huge selection of SDs currently! Their prices range a lot, but I've seen a lot of nude ones in the 30,000-50,000 yen range if that interests you.
