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

Recommended Posts

leitan

hey guys, by chance i was looking at Mandarake's new stock today and i noticed they are carrying some Angel Philia / RAP clothing as well as an AP Misa doll at the price of about 41k JPY.

 

if you don't have a proxy and you can afford it, i thought there might be some people in this thread who'd like to know about this

 

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/search.do?action=keyword&keyword=ANGEL+PHILIA

 

also if anyone sees any deals and wants to do splits, i figured out what my shopping list for VMF/AP dolls looks like right now or at least for the future. if you find any of these and want to do a split/deal/trade(?) send me a message via PM.

 

C3 type bust in K-skin (DC Romina and PD Marina have this bust)

C2 type torso/lower body in K-skin / Tan (PD Liana has this)

High Heel Option Feet in W and K-skin

any new Option Hands from AP/PD in W or K-skin (for example the peace sign or fist pose)

1x pair of Flat (magnetic) Option Feet in K-skin (nail color doesn't matter, doesn't matter for hands either)

 

i'm not 100% sure i am looking to get an entirely new doll at all but... for heads on their own or splits: i *might* consider AP Liza, RAP Shiori, or the unreleased head i keep seeing (whenever it comes out?) that i think might be called "Nemu" if they make it in K-skin.

 

"Nemu" is actually modeling one of the outfits for sale on Mandarake too:

Aww man what a great time to be caught without money!!! I just paid for my figures I'm interested in Misa or at least her bust and/or head How would you guys calculate cost of a head or bust or any part in general? O_o? Gotta save up some pennies so I can grab one the next time something shows up

 

Interesting to note that the stats they have listed are for Maya <.<;

 

Edit: wow those consignments are no joke they sell fast O_O.

Thanks for the heads up Leitan, I check all the time only

I check for VMF50><

Misa is gone already but she is always on yahoo jp of

late;)

 

That's quite a list you have they're also, a fair few really

exclusive items that only come with pre-order girls

 

To me Nemu looks a lot like a repainted Nao.... but if she

ever reaches the retail market I will own one;) love the

tan girls^^

 

Ruko, the heads will go for $200 never seen on the

western market tho

@ Ruko

 

i think that the price worth of heads and busts are going to depend on what type they are. if you go to the AP Parts Shop they do sell some of their busts at about 3,000 JPY but you'll notice that the stock is almost never updated and the selection is very limited. so the price for anything NOT in the parts shop could be much higher depending on how specific it is (like Tomo pointed out...)

 

@ Tomo

 

yeah, i had a feeling she would be gone ASAP but it was worth a shot. i don't think i have an interest in owning Misa but never say never because i can be fickle and change my mind about things a lot.

 

also wow, you know i think you are totally right that "Nemu" is to Nao as Misa is to Eri. i'm not the brightest crayon in the box when it comes to recognizing sculpts since i tend to focus in on the face-up/styling and it can make a doll look incredibly different. i wondered why they would suddenly release a more "anime" style head and what you said makes perfect sense.

 

it's funny, because i was seriously contemplating repainting (or getting repainted, depending how confident i feel) my Nao head. of all the VMFs i have she is the only one that i have still not really got a strong feeling for in person, and i think it has more to do with her face-up than her sculpt. that explains why i really liked "Nemu" anyway. now i am wondering if i should sell Nao and replace her with a "Nemu" if she gets released instead of repainting, since Nemu will have an AP body... we'll see. for "Nao" though, my Nao is not for sale because i'm going to continue to try and find a way to bond with her!

 

as for my "shopping list" -

i'm not in any rush to get any of these parts, and the heads are all in the "maybe" category at the moment. it's more the bust/torso/option parts that i'd like to get at some point, but i am very patient so if something comes up, it comes up, and if it doesn't, then it doesn't.

i just thought i would put it out there in case someone in the thread does want to split, sell or trade. since i don't just collect VMFs, i also have other hobby things i may be prioritizing instead, like stuff for BJD or anime figures. it all depends though.

 

i actually have sometimes seen heads for sale on flickr and figure.FM although you're more likely to find them on YJA i think. oh and i normally only search for "VMF50" on mandarake as well, i found these purely because i was browsing the "new stock" listings for yesterday, so i guess you should add "ANGEL PHILIA" to your list of keyword searches from now on.

I see, thanks XD ... at $200 for a head and lets say $100 for a bust, its definately not worth doing splits might as well stick to buying full dolls.

Yeah, Ersa Flora has awesome eyes. I have somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of my girls (including Rinrin) with them right now.

 

Btw, for the C2 bust that Misa has, does anyone know the measurement?

C2 bust replaces the G bust, they are the same size 24.7cm they just have a different shape.

As I said in chat, you're a lucky guy for being able to get this beauty at such a good price! Congrats again on adopting her. I really do like this style girl, she's got a very pretty face and the same style body I'd like if I were to get one of these girls in the future. One of these days I'll buckle down and actually TRY to find one.

 

And no, I'm not jealous at all that you've got her AND the lovely Rinrin.... not one bit.

TomoTomo, thanks. Those are her default eyes.

Too pervy for Billy, though? That's unpossible!

I know, I know. I'd really love to add one of these girls to my family eventually tho. It just seems that whenever I actually have money for one, a DD shows up instead. We'll see how things look this year and maybe I'll get lucky.

 

 

Billy aren't these girls a little Pervy for your tastes??

Ralph Wiggum has spoken! It's true TomoTomo, I'm not sure why you'd think that these VMF girls are too pervy for my tastes. I absolutely LOVE how these girls sell the sex right up front and don't apologize for it at all. Yes, some of the head molds are definitely NOT my style but both the girls Kymaera owns are very pretty in my opinion and I'd be seriously happy to own ones like either of them. And his Rin rin isn't always dressing as a sexpot, she has quite normal clothing most of the time but can look hot when she wants to.

 

I also love ALL the detailing that these blushed girls have. None of my DD's have THAT much detail to them, other than some blushed nips. So I think that having a super sexy girl that is always on point about it would be a cool addition to my family... not that Manami *ISN'T always sexy. Sure, whatever VMF girl I decide to get may not be the sex bomb 24/7 since all my girls are very casual in their attitudes and dress but that appeal of going from casual to sexy in 1.3 seconds is a very nice appeal for me.

Doesn't she already have two very nice "celestial spheres" already?

I beg to differ. DD's can be VERY sexy, just as sexy or moreso than the VMF girls in my opinion. I've seen many and own a few DD's I'd say were very sexy AND dominating. Manami and Rei both come to mind on those two points. It's all in how you show them and have their personalities set up. Rei can be sexy when she wants to be and she is VERY dominating, she runs my whole household. And Manami is SUPER sexy. Not only with her looks and Peach Pai but her whole attitude.

 

And I know I need one, I just need to buckle down and start setting aside money for one. Once I have that I can start looking to buy one. I *will* own one eventually!

I suppose its more accurate to say that vmf50 are more on the erotic side of sexy than DD's unless of course you mod the DD. If you consider the size of the vmf50's and how some of their proportions can be equal to that of the DD L and DDdy then just factor in the various breast shapes/orientations body paint and various erotic expression heads ... vmf50's target many fetish points(seriously they even sell "lovessticks" for them!!) that could be far more appealing than the more "cute" image that the Dollfie Dreams line carries. for example the vmf50 Type-B body has a very strong presence that just cant be matched.

 

Also dont forget, vmf50 have those thighs!!

@kymaera - you're welcome once more, and i love the photos of her, the outfit gives her a nice angelic quality which i'm sure is what you were going for.

 

@ the whole debate about sex appeal, i think i talked about this before and in the FAQ...so, aha... no duh that they are marketed upon their fetish/sex appeal and that this is what sells, and i'm not only totally fine with it but i also know that without it the dolls wouldn't exist. i'd say that the majority of otaku culture is based in sexism or at least sex so i accept that premise even if i sometimes take issue with it, and DDs and VMFs are about as otaku culture as you can get.

 

but it doesn't mean they HAVE to look sexy all the time if you don't want them to... i'm in the minority and totally aware of that but sometimes i like them to look sexually attractive and other times i do not want that at all.

 

i was just saying to Ruko on Skype that i like them because they are actually very versatile.. if you want them to be...it just requires a little creativity...

 

i mean one reason i often don't post my VMF photos to this thread is that they're often fairly dark and weird and don't fit the brand image of being sexy/kawaii/fetish/whatever because my personal doll photos often touch on subject matter that is anathema to that - even if i do actually like and have fun with the former type of photo, it's not always the type of photo i choose to make.

 

like if you find this image sexy in any way then i urge you to re-evaluate some things about yourself: 01/08/14 | 165/365

 

and this one, it's sending a deliberately juxtaposed message: 8/7/13 | 87/365 | skin

 

or this one, Kana and Sayo look very pretty here and they are attractive, but again it's got nothing to do with sex appeal when you view the image as a whole, from my perspective: 6/19/13 | 38/365 | "we're out, but school's not"

 

and, digging through my really old images now, here's a pic of Shiho that i think is actually quite feminine and sexy but certainly isn't in-your-face about it since she's not wearing revealing clothing: h

 

but that said, she's the only doll i've specifically bought lingerie for, because she does have a sexy/curvaceous body when i choose not to hide it and i appreciate & love her for that just as much as anyone else who likes cute girls, whether they're real or not, probably does.

 

TL;DR - they are what they are, but they don't have to be if you choose otherwise.
