Multiple Characters, Same Head Mold

This year is the year I'm going to finish my three main girls but as I'm planning I realise I want them all to have the DDH-03 head. I see everyone else's collection and they have a wide variety of heads and I even have a DDH-06 head but I'm planning on selling it because no other head apeals to me like the DDH-03 head. I feel like it would be weird though (unless I make them sisters)

 

 

What do you guys think?

I don't think it's weird at all to be in love with a certain head mold! The 03 is actually a very versatile head and can be made to look completely different with various custom face ups! Sisters would totally be cute.

 

Here are some examples:

I also have a big obsession with a particular head mold, the 06.

These are my 06 girls. There's two more that are not in this photo.

I don't think it's weird either I've got two DDH06s, two DDH01s, and two Lucys. And I'd totally love to have more 01s in the future.

Oh all your 06 girls are adorable!

 

Thanks you guys for answering, I figured it was a silly question but it was kind of a road block in my dolly plans (^_^;) hopefully I can finish them soon so I can share them with everyone

Like others have said, I don't think its strange at all! Each girl is unique and you will be able to tell them apart instantly!

 

User Animagic4u has 2 beautiful 04 girls, Rei and Mikila, that both have awesome personalities that set them apart from each other. Here is a link to a post she has over on FFM.

So if you love 03s and feel drawn to them, go for it!

 

~Can't wait to see your girls~

As everyone else has said, it's not a weird thing to have multiples of the same head set up as totally different girls! I myself have LOTS of 01 head girls as it's my favorite DD head. I also have multiples of the 02, 03 and 04 heads.

 

Since you're interested in the 03, here's the two I own:

 

This is Chizuru:

It's not weird at all. (Look at Billy's army of 01s! )

 

In fact, Volks has actually done it before! Erika, Feena, and Estelle all have the same head, though they may not be the best example; they were relatively early DDs and have pretty similar faceups.

 

Fate and Nanoha have the same head too; the difference between them is most pronounced in their blush and their mouth paint. (If I had both girls I'd go nab a shot for you, but I only have the one, and I'm having trouble finding a good side-by-side comparison out on the interwebs.)

 

Moe and Natsuki are also the same head. In their case it's the eyelashes that are different.

 

And of course there's the Sabers. There's little difference between Alter 1 and 2 besides blush, but there's the skintone difference between them and Saber Classic, and Saber Extra has a drastically different faceup and feel. (Lily is an entirely different head for some reason, so she doesn't count.

 

 

Oh, this one is awesome! She's probably the most Agatha-esque of any other 03 I've seen I think.

 

Here's some shots of Agatha over the years, for comparison. Going backwards in time for fun!

 

Her current faceup soon after I did it, sans glasses:

 

The first real Agatha faceup she had:

 

And the faceup she had when I first got her:

 

And this is all just the same doll! If there's this much variety lurking in one 03, then you can definitely have a lot of fun coaxing different aspects out of multiples.

 

Though if you're concerned about people getting confused, having other things besides faceup that are different will also go a long way: different eyes, different wigs (especially color), and different clothing styles will all help make it clear who each girl really is.

Personally, I'm not too fond of having the same mold for more than one character (except if they are related), but with DDs, there's not THAT much differences you can get and they can look very different depending on how they're painted / modded? So it should be okay if you have the same mold for three characters xD

Oh yeah... many anime characters have very basic features, so you can use the same shape for different characters. DDs are like that too!

I don't blame you for wanting all 03 heads... It's been my favorite sculpt from the start! If you want all the same head sculpt, it is really up to you. If someone else doesn't like it, why should it be your problem? It is a hobby so just do what makes you happy, there are no 'correct' rules.

 

I really love the versatility of the 03 head. When I first got mine I heard tons of comments about how it was a 'sad' sculpt. My Tamayuki is very rarely sad and spends much of his time giggling. I love all my DD, but he is my little prince who still keeps me smiling after almost two years.

 

 

 

 

 

And here he is with his brother (modded 01) Ralph who refuses to grow his hair out.

 

This is what I really love about DD. They allow all sorts of variety and all it takes is some creativity. For quite some time many people in the hobby expressed their doubts that a boy DD could be made from the existing sculpts. To my own satisfaction I have quietly proven them wrong. I am currently trying to finish 2 more, Lucas (modded 05) Kiyoteru (07), but there are many others on my list I want to convert into boys including: Rin Tohsaka, Yui Hirasawa, Haruka Amami, 06, Saber Extra, and more 01, 03, & 07 boys.

 

My point really is not to worry about what others might find acceptable and just enjoy your DD. We all love DD here, and they are so much fun to share!

A faceup can change a doll a lot. You can have many of the same head mold and have them all look very different!

 

Not to mention, it's YOUR doll collection and you can have whatever dolls you want as long as it makes you happy!

Volks themselves do this occasionally:

• Moe & Natsuki are the same mold.
• Feena, Estel & Erika are the same mold.
• Magical Ruby & Miko are the same mold. (If you permit counting Magical Ruby as a separate character.)
• Saber, both Saber Alters & Saber Extra are the same mold. (Though least surprising and subtle differences exist.)

Sometimes they do this on the resin side as well.

Miko (standart model) and Magical Ruby (limited prepainted head) are DDH-06 if I am not wrong!

 

All standart models have standart heads... Not sure about MDD standart model Rena.

Rena has DDH-01 Head

Aoi has a DDH-02 Head

Yukino has a DDH-03 Head

Mayu has a DDH-04 Head

Miko has a DDH-06 Head

 

Only DDH-05 and DDH-07 haven't been released as standard models (although DDH-05 was used for Kyoko, Yumi, & Sirius). DDH-02 was also used for both Rei Ayanami releases in additional to Aoi.

 

Other repeats? In addition to the ones mentioned by gaiaswill:

Mirai & Candy

Femi & Cheryl

Kotori & Sayaka Shirakawa

Nanoha & Fate

Not sure about MDD standart model Rena.

 

Rena is a DDH-01.

 

I really don't see the problem with having multiples of a single sculpt. Quite by accident almost half of our DD are 01 heads. It is Raven's favorite sculpt, and he's planning on adding Rena at some point too. Just because it is the same sculpt doesn't mean that our girls are identical.

Ahhh, thanks

I knew all beside Rena and didn't want to say anything I am not sure about! (I am not that much into MDD)

 

But yeah nothing wrong with owning the same head sculpt more as one time. I also own the limited head sculpt of Alice with the same face up twice (even if I don't need a third one XD) and I am kind of tempted for a second Mariko. As long as you enjoy I would have no worries

I can only speak as a resin collector, but no i don't think it's wierd at all to love a particular head and own many of them. I have 2 full Loongsoul Emily dolls and a third floating head that I plan on turning into a guy one of these days. The two girls aren't related (they're painted very differently) and are actually lovers.
