Gallye Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Mandarake Sahra uses this beat-up doll as a wig model and I am really taken with her face. I tried asking them about her but I never got an answer, so I'll ask you guys! Which doll is this? She mostly models 8-9 wigs so she's probably a ~60cm doll of some kind. I don't think she's a DD and I know she's not a Smart Doll, so she's probably some form of Azone or Obitsu, but I don't know much about those. I can see the internal frame through the arm holes, though, so I'm pretty sure she's some kind of vinyl doll! I'd really appreciate your help - thanks!

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
StormyWeather Posted April 24, 2022 good luck finding her!! that eye sculpt makes her look sleepy and sweet, i can see why you like it! It's real unique ^w^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaffeinatedCake Posted April 24, 2022 Hmm... I wonder if she might be an obitsu? Those eyeholes look kind of uneven, so I wonder if it was a mod someone did to an eyeless Parabox P-chan head? I considered Luna for a moment as well but I don't think her cheeks are the right shape. Best of luck! Help! I fell into DD hell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misuka Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) I believe its one of the obitsu heads with closed eyeholes, and then had custom eyes cut out, as that is what is making the 'upper eyelid' It kind of reminds me of some of the older heads that may not be manufactured anymore. But honestly, I am not 100% sold on that. You could actually send Manda an email and ask them. Edited April 24, 2022 by Misuka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of luck! I was also thinking she looked like a doll someone had carved eyeholes into! I'm not sure about P-chan or Luna, but I can definitely see the resemblance. I bet it IS an old Parabox or Obitsu head of some sort. Just have to find out which one! 1 hour ago, Misuka said: I believe its one of the obitsu heads with closed eyeholes, and then had custom eyes cut out, as that is what is making the 'upper eyelid' It kind of reminds me of some of the older heads that may not be manufactured anymore.

Gallye Posted April 24, 2022 After a fair amount of squinting and comparing, I am beginning to think that she is a modded Obitsu 60HD-F08. If the doll in question had her eyes modded open and cut inwards a little bit, and maybe had her jaw shaved down, I think she'd resemble this head. http://www.doll-making-supplies.com/product/5339.php I sent another email to Mandarake. I'll update if they write back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Misuka Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) It might be a better response if you find out which store of Manda uses her, and then figure out the direct store email for that store, like if she lives at Nakano, Umeda, etc Edited April 24, 2022 by Misuka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted April 24, 2022 I also think that's an older Obitsu head. My ex GF had one of these I think. 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

The pictures of her were in auctions from Sahra, so I emailed Sahra directly both times. This time I did get a response, but unfortunately the language barrier got in our way; the responder essentially sent me a form answer about the doll not being for sale, only the wig. Oh, well. With this thread's help I'm pretty sure we've found the head in question! 20 hours ago, baldylox said: I also think that's an older Obitsu head. My ex GF had one of these I think. That does look promising! (And also very cute!) Thanks for your help~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you send me the link to the auction (you can DM it to me if you don’t want to post it here)? I tried searching for it but couldn’t find anything. I’ll email them in Japanese with the link and see if they can give us a more useful answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, man, I appreciate the offer, but I have this weird instinctive horror of being pushy at people doing their jobs? I'd honestly prefer not to bother them about it again. I'm... reasonably sure I know which doll head it is now, so I'll just go with that. 😅 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dolldaydreamer Posted August 8, 2022 I GOT YOU!!! This is a Dollce Doll head sculpt, Type C or "Arcanet". (You can see her made up). I love their head sculpts ridiculously, though I only have an Iris so far!! Check DollshopDollce on Etsy or dollce.stores.jp and you can find the sculpts, info, etc! Mercari, ebay, etc you can check too. I used their business etsy shop though! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
