apag22 Posted June 1, 2021 Hello! My name is Allie and I stumbled on this website while searching for information about why my MDD's head was so loose. I love forums, so I decided to make an account! Currently, I have two Smart Dolls and one Mini Dollfie dream. I LOVE my MDD, Suki. She is the perfect size! Before BJDs, I collected American Girls (I have over 40 @.@) and I love posing my BJDs on the AG furniture! Outside of dolls, I love video games (I have a switch and built my own gaming PC), star wars, thrifting (its how I have 40 AGs), wearing Lolita Fashion, and hanging out with my boyfriend (we've been together 9 years, and he is one of my biggest doll enablers x.x) I am so excited to browse the site and chat! Looking forward to talking with everyone :) 2 🎎instagram🎎 Doll Family: SmD Mirai, SmD Felicity, MDD Liliru (Yuki), MDD Mochi Ashi (Sakrua), Volks YoSD Lin (Eleanor) Waiting on: Isla Dolls Raspberry, Volks SDM-F-45, Volks SD-F-22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take her head off and check for cracks around the neck hole. If you don’t find any, then most likely you have an issue with the upper torso frame. If she’s f3 then the frame can be replaced, but the old frame is no longer in production and you will need to get crafty to fix it, or buy her a new f3 body. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got her Friday NIB from volks USA (Liliru!). I think it may just be my lack of knowledge of the DD bodies and how far down it needs to be pushed haha 🎎instagram🎎 Doll Family: SmD Mirai, SmD Felicity, MDD Liliru (Yuki), MDD Mochi Ashi (Sakrua), Volks YoSD Lin (Eleanor) Waiting on: Isla Dolls Raspberry, Volks SDM-F-45, Volks SD-F-22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it may just be my lack of knowledge of the DD bodies and how far down it needs to be pushed haha Ok, f3 bodies have adjustment screws. As long as there are no cracks, you probably just need to tighten the neck screw. Tighten them slowly, like 1/4 turn at a time, and then test the friction. 1/4 turn is a lot, and you don't want to go too far or you could crack the plastic There is a guide here: https://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/imas/en/support_ddf3.html This guide is for DDP, but it should mostly match MDD. If there are cracks in the neck hole contact Volks USA immediately. The warranty period isn’t all that long, and you may need to send them the head for examination. As far as how far down to push it, it should be as snug up against the neck as it can go. They loosen a bit when you pose them, so you have to push them back down from time to time. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

BeyondTime Posted June 1, 2021 Oh, and since this one comes up a lot with new owners of f3 bodies. If her legs come loose, here is a guide on how to reattach them properly. People, including people really familiar with Dollfie Dreams, struggle with the f3 legs. There is a simple trick, but it’s not obvious. Since you may have to take her apart a bit to fix her neck, I figure you may need this. https://www.facebook.com/notes/dollfie-dream/dd-f³-hip-joint-handling-tips/1271843123025761/ The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

We’re planning on a meetup here in the OC real soon. We don’t have a date yet, but we’ll make sure to send out the info with plenty of time for everyone to plan out their days. The only thing we know for sure is it’ll be outdoors at a public park, and we’ll have a potluck to go with it 😉. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
