VMF50 & Angel Philia Discussion Thread (nsfw, doll nudity)

Recommended Posts

I want to become a rep/dealer how do I do that I need more easy access to parts.

I thought about trying to do that but I'm positive I don't have the capital to invest in stock. And judging by the low number of authorized dealers these companies do have, they don't seem too keen on the idea working with retailers.

I wonder if that's the problem high start up. Maybe it's just a language barrier? I don't know it would be great if you did though...or someone in the states.

I'd like to open an actual doll store front someday, but it's just more economic to sell only online.

 

Although anime is getting quite popular, and figures and dolls and such are always sure to follow.

I remember being excited seeing those odd things with some sort of anime character in some random store. Now it's everywhere!

There is also someone in Europe that sells them. They post to this forum, although I can't find them at the moment.

 

That was me, but sadly I had to stop. Indeed, it takes a substantial financial investment. And basically, Tommy sells really well in Japan, everything is sold out really fast, so there is almost nothing left for us

Ah and there we have our answer.... makes sense. I figured as much, but I didn't take into consideration lack of product to even sell.

Are all releases going to be in the soft skin from now on?

Can anyone hazard a guess as to the number of AP dolls released in a typical run? I've always wondered how many twin sisters my girls have out there.

I would guess "no", but it looks like a large proportion of them will be.

I have wondered about that for years. Some of those early VMF50 releases would sell out in hours. Recent Pink Drops releases seem to last a bit longer, but who knows what the exact numbers are?

 

I currently wonder about the choices of head sculpts use in the last few (dozen or so) releases. Are they chosen because they are popular (sell well), do the designer(s) like them, or are there copyright issues with some of the older sculpts?

A bit of a noob here, but, could i put a pair of AP thighs/torso on a 50/55 cm obitsu or would it look too weird?

Most AP parts are 100% compatible with other Obitsu 48/50cm bodies. The 55/60cm bodies use a completely different skeletal structure than the 48/50cm bodies. The exterior vinyls on the 55/60cm are a much larger diameter than similar parts of the 48/50cm. About the only 50cm part that will fit in the 55/60cm without modification is the 50cm's spine assembly.

thanks k-2. I have a male 60cm and was hoping to get shorter ap legs but i think i'd be better off just getting a smaller obitsu.

To make your 60cm shorter you could swap in 55cm legs from the hip down.

Once upon a time (2009ish) Parabox made a 47cm doll using versions of 55/60cm parts. This is not the current 47cm which they have been selling, which is based on the 50cm body. The old 47cm was sold as Angela (if I remember correctly). You might be able to find her on the secondary market.

Does anyone here have both Parabox and AP high heel feet? Are AP high heel feet bigger/wider than Parabox high heel feet?? I bought this pair of rrabit heels(here) that are listed to fit 1/4 & Angel Philia, and assumed that it would fit my Parabox feet just fine, but it was actually a bit too big for them. I -could- squeeze regular obitsu feet in, but the ankle joint looks kind of ugly that way. xD

 

I'm debating whether my next choice would be to look for new heels that fit the feet I have, or wait until whitey skin AP high heel feet are available again.. I still need a DD head(I was hoping to get a Akiba Girls Ruri, but that doesn't look likely anymore so it's back to looking for the right head sculpt for her at the right price..) and a base obitsu 50 body to assemble the girl the heels were for, which could take me some time at my pace so I may just end up waiting for AP feet after all. Aside from some kind of high heel feet, she'll be customized to have an AZO2 I bust and vmf50/AP Type B lower torso and Type G thighs, which looks pretty curvy yet muscular, which is quite nice imo

I have both, the parabox one a lil bit shorter and thicker than the AP one, and the AP one have flat bottom and the parabox not.

Thanks for that info, Yokha! Parabox high heel feet certainly are pretty rounded, and aren’t long enough to fit in those shoes without padding the toe area first.. and even then it can just slip out easily anyway. Finding shoes in general is a pain.

Hey all, I'm hoping someone could help clarify for me:

Does the Angel Philia "whitey" skintone best match Dollfie Dream semi-white or normal?

 

From looking around it seems like semi-white is the way to go, but the posts I dug up for comparisons seem to be older ones comparing DD normal to Obitsu normal? ^^;;

 

Please help!

At this point it's kind of a toss up. Originally Obitsu white skin was a very close, not exact, match to Volks normal. Obitsu manufactures the AP bodies and the AP white is the same as Obitsu white skin. Since various batches of vinyl vary in color slightly, some matched better than others. Then Volks introduced semi white skin and changed their formulation of their normal skin color. So now there are people who prefer to match Obitsu white with Volks normal and other people who prefer to match to the Volks semi white.

Photography can only go so far to show comparisons. Variations in the actual vinyl color, different lighting and cameras can all contribute to what you are seeing. Your best bet would be to see and compare in person and judge with your own eyes.

 

Clear as mud.

 

However if an in person comparison isn't possible, you could just go with the semi white and blush slightly as needed to match.

Ah, that does explain why the search pulled up varying results. Thank you so much for your input; I guess my best bet here is probably to check the AP body I get in person before making concrete plans for the head color, then. Now if only I had realized this before visiting Nakano back in May...!

Congrats! She's cute.

I've been wanting to pre-order but I don't think I'll like the soft skin.
