aeris Posted April 4, 2012 Hi I have heard that parabox40 could be a good alternative to MDD body. Is it true? Can MDD 's head be put on parabox 's bodies? Does anyone have a comparaison pic? I would really appreciate! Thank you in advance for any help Home : Hitomi, Kaori, Lily, Natsuki, Kotori, Yui, Kagami, Aï, Maya, Hana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waha Posted April 4, 2012 Yes, it's true. The DD head won't fit the Parabox body by default, but with either a custom neck piece (bought from YJA usually) or some DIY work it can be made to fit. One of my MDD girls uses a Parabox 40 body (and a second one on its way) and I have to say it's vastly superior to the MDD body in terms of posing etc. And I believe the measurements are pretty much the same too, haven't had any problems fitting MDD clothes on them, and the height seems to be pretty much the same as well! http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m94986472 <- creator/seller of the custom neck piece, I've bought two from him already!

I would really appreciate! Thank you in advance for any help hi here is picture to help you decide image taken from 伝達戦士コクチバンR it is down to personal opinion which body you prefer (i am biased because i have a P40 ) but i think it the obitsu poses much better and really doesn't suffer any of the problem that the MDD does . there are some nuances but it is a really solid body and i am glad i bought it ! a lot of japanese use the body for their dollfie dreams too and it is very easy to DIY your own neckpiece (you just need a longer screw) My SQ Hibiki I am putting up for adoption a SQ-Lab Ren head on flickr.

Kumi Posted April 4, 2012 Some people do not like the Obitsu knees. Mentioned here and there K2! making his Pinky replaced the MDD internal skeleton with Obitsu parts, but it's a "mayor surgery" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeris Posted April 4, 2012 Thank you so much for your help! I really think if no MDD2 next dollpa I would try this body!

kyojie011 Posted April 5, 2012 Parabox 40, found in a 2ch doll thread. :3 is thhat a white skin obitsu 40?? :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted April 5, 2012 I'm sure it is. And to DD normal skin, Obitsu white is way better match than the darker Obitsu NS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waha Posted April 5, 2012 The Parabox 40cm body is only available as "whitey" which matches DD normal fairly well. Unfortunately they don't have anything that matches DD White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marisa_doll Posted April 5, 2012 The Parabox 40cm body is only available as "whitey" which matches DD normal fairly well. Unfortunately they don't have anything that matches DD White. i do not think this is true. this is Remina's white skin DDH-06 on an Obitsu "whitey" 48cm. whether it matchs DD White or DD normal depends on batch. the colour of the obitsu sits in the middle of the two. so in truth it is chance which match you get, but it will never be a perfect. Does your girl's joint has different color from her Whity body? Mine look a bit like normal joint on Whity body. When I change her bust size from S (Default) to L (Extra order). Her L bust look darker than her other Whity part. Isn't Obitsu50-48 has only Whity skin? Does your girl who has L bust got this same problem?

chien Posted April 6, 2012 I think I'm sold on the Obitsu body now after seeing these lovely photos, haha. I'll probably hold out though for version two of the MDD body though just in case. So white skin might be the safest way to go when it comes to purchasing the Obitsu body? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted April 6, 2012 For matching DD color definitely Obitsu white. BTW Parabox-Obitsu 40cm body (it's an exclusive) comes only in white, the same for 48/50cm Obitsu bodies. http://parabox.jp/eng_new/o_body.html There is also older Parabox exclusive 47cm body, but imo doesn't look that good.

marisa_doll Posted June 20, 2012 Hi everyone. Just wanted to say that my SQ-Lab head is a perfect 100% match to the new MDD III body skin colour from the new Cirno.

mangaemi Posted June 21, 2012 So the DD normal skin tone head is equivalent to the "white" Parabox 40? Or do you need to have a DD white skin tone head to match the Parabox 40.. I'm almost tempted to go ahead and get a Obitsu body since the MDDs are taking so long to be restocked. ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waha Posted June 21, 2012 Not quite, the Obitsu/Parabox White is somewhere between DD normal and DD white. All Parabox/Obitsu, except for one MDD.

mangaemi Posted June 21, 2012 oh... my .... GLOB. That Madoka outfit is too precious!!! Maybe after I actually do the faceup (and order the DDH-04 head... ^^;) I'll just get the 40 parabox and hope they match enough (or enough where maybe I can fake it with some blushing/pastels) Though MDD have much prettier elbows and kneecaps.. that's the only thing that bothers me about the parabox ones.. (if they're wearing high socks and long sleeves you'd probably never notice right?) ♥ ★ ✮ ~ Amassing an army of Anime Cuties ~ ✮ ★ ♥ The Family: Sheryl, Ranka, Kirika, Arlex2, Yoko, Snow Miku, Haruka, Student Mariko, Prisma Illya, Akira, Maria, Cirno, Noumi, Asuna Titania, Sakuya on the way: want: Sailor Moon, Miki, Yukiho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(if they're wearing high socks and long sleeves you'd probably never notice right?) Yes, MDD bodies in general are prettier. I have to say personally though, the knees on the Parabox kinda grow on you, because they look much better than MDD knees when bent as they have an actual kneecap. It's the same with the arm really. That said, I do prefer keeping them covered with socks/etc. I'm eagerly awaiting to see what price the MDD3 body will end up being, and then I'll have to re-evaluate if it's a good option to stick with the Parabox bodies.

di-chan123 Posted June 23, 2012 oooo Waha, would it be possible to take a photo of the Obitsu/Parabox ankle joint compared to the MDD ankle joint? I'm curious to know if they are similar in size and if the leg portion (the part that connects the ankle to the leg) are the same size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious to know if they are similar in size and if the leg portion (the part that connects the ankle to the leg) are the same size. I can do a few photos next week, busy with work the entire weekend. >_<. I'm pretty sure the ankle-joint is similar though, the main differences are the knee/elbows.

Thats ok I'm in no rush I hope that they are the same size tho, I discovered my MDD ankle joint is broken and hope that this will work as a replacement for it.

Hmm, I don't think it will fit without a lot of work. I could actually try because I have a MDD with a broken ankle joint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Error-Chan Posted June 23, 2012 Is there anyone with a MDD with either the obitsu 50cm default head or the 50-02 head? I would love to see this for a reference for a new body for my 50-02 Error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
