Serena Posted July 15, 2021 After around 8 or 9 years of wanting her, I've finally managed to get a DD Yukino 2nd Ver. I got her from Dollyteria for a fairly low price (she had a good bit of staining on her lower torso/legs). Unfortunately, the frames in the thighs have cracks (not mentioned in the Dollyteria description...) so I'll probably just let this body be stain testing and dark outfit fun I guess. Her wig is a bit messy so I've been cleaning it and trying to re-style the bangs... but I'm so glad she's home! 😄 and the little chibi version of her on the box is so cute!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it’s the part of the frame that connects to the post in the torso, you can repair that to some extent with metal rings you get from coolcats. It most likely won’t be a tight as it would if it wasn’t cracked, but it’s better than nothing. 1 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

MrFjmg03 Posted July 15, 2021 Congratulations. She is so cute. I saw her for sale there and the price was so low I was tempted to get her myself. But I only wanted her for the eyes LOL I already got a V2 Yukino but she didn’t come with the original eyes. She is so cute and I can’t wait to see more pictures of her:) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(it only mentioned she was stained in terms of damage.) I'll be sure to post a lot of pictures of her! I have to order her an L bust and an outfit just for her soon... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do compress the joint slightly, so they make the joints tighter, but when the joint is cracked it reduces the effect. 9 hours ago, FabledAlyssum said: Yeah, the price was fairly low so I won't complain too much about the cracks in the thigh frame Depending on the degree of cracking that isn’t hard to miss, and it’s possible the cracking got worse as she sat in her box waiting to get sold. When I got my Miki Hoshi from Jungle she had a cracked shoulder, they didn’t mention it in the listing, and I didn’t even notice it until it clicked with me that one arm moved more easily than the other. I am sure Jungle didn’t intend to mislead me, they probably just never even realized there was a slight crack in the shoulder. I had the coolcats shoulder parts so I just slapped one on and it improved the friction. Eventually Miki moved to a unitorso M and the issue is gone. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Serena Posted September 26, 2021 Completely forgot to update here! This all happened back in July shortly after I got her. I contacted Dollyteria a few days later with images of the cracking and they sent replacement arms+legs free. I do plan to buy from them again eventually (though probably only f3 bodies) they actually replaced the broken parts. I also gave Yukino my M bust unitorso so that she could have all newer dd3 frame instead of the fragile early dd3 frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
