Hello from Hong Kong.

Hello DD Community,

 

I'm KYF from Hong Kong, I just bought my first ever BJD in my life that is the Volks DD Saber (Red). My girl friend has always loved BJDs and eventually I'm not sure when but I kinda got hit too. Just would like to come and say Hi to everyone and read up some information how to keep her looking great ! So thats about it !

 

Thanks for reading.

Hello KYF!

 

It's nice to meet you, I am also originally from Hong Kong.

I'm glad you came to the BJD community! I'm sure you Saber is a lovely girl.

 

Let us know if you need anything!

Thanks for your warm welcome, I can't stop looking at her all day !

Hiya!

 

Welcome to the forums!

I'm meeting up with a few other DD owners on Friday in Hong Kong! I'm quite excited - it'll be my first HK doll meet

Awww! I'm jelly. I'd love to go to an HK Doll Meet! I'm going in October so hopefully if I ask here, we can arrange one somehow.

Are Dolls popular as in general? My family thought i was a bit strange to have a doll as a guy. I do see quiet a lot of players in hong kong though. How about in other places? Where do you come from and is this hobby popular where you are?

 

As I am new to this world, are there any advices and suggestions to the hobby?

 

Thanks for reading

Welcome

I assume you got Saber Extra, maybe you should reinforce the joints if you haven't done so

Like the ones from Cool Cats http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=382741

Do you think I can reinforce them maybe 6-12 months time, I hope I'm not stressing her out too extensively at the moment, she stands next to my bed all day, actually want to sit her down a little

From my experience i got Yukino 2nd ver (older DDIII frame) didn't pose her much. After a few months i found cracks in the hip, luckily i got a replacement parts for the hips. Then i didn't touch her much. A few more months later i found the the shoulder parts had cracked. Could have been a change of temperature in the room. Which i then made shoulder custom parts to fix her.

 

Then i got Saber and decided not to through that hassle and got me some reinforcements from Cool Cats. I dunno how well of an improvement the new DDIII frame is, but i didn't want to find out the hard way.

 

You could be luckly and have no problems what-so-ever, or unlucky like me.

Hello and welcome!

Thank you for your advice, it is so sad to hear your doll has been damaged. I hope she is fine now

i hope that you enjoy DD! welcome^^

Oh that's so sad, why do they crack?

It was a design flaw in one of the pieces

Hi! I also have Saber extra! I was hesitant to buy her at first (after hearing the horror stories about the DDIII body) Until I purchased some reinforcment from coolcat. I would certainly reccomend them, They work great and give a bit of peace at night.
