Hello from the North East of England

Hello! Welcome to this website : D
Your dolls sound super cute . The bulk of my collection is MSDs with a few smaller dolls and the littles are just as fun and a bit more portable.
I can't see the photos, are you using Flickr as your image hosting service? If it's that one you will need to get the BBCode from the sharing options.

 

Hello from North Texas! I collect MSD sized humanoids, though I do have an off topic 3D printed tiny anthro bat that I absolutely adore. The smaller, the cuter for sure! Hope you enjoy this community, it's a really nice one.

 

Hello from south east England. My collection is mostly MSD and YoSD and I have a couple Soom and Impldoll myself. I absolutely love fantasy dolls of all kinds. Most of my finished dolls can be found on my profile page. I have a Soom Mylo and Teschen, a Soom Ondiin, an Impldoll Gela, and an Impldoll Gia.
It’s nice to meet you and welcome to the community!

 

Hello from Wimbledon!

My doll family spans from teensy little RealPuki , right up to a 30 inch Dollmore Lusion, but includes several MSD and a little gang of Yo-sized kiddies. I tend toward Victorian and fantasy styles for a lot of my gang.

Your collection sounds amazing! I collect only MSD at the moment, but Soom and Dollzone are such great companies. Their 1/4 scale dolls are beautiful.

 

I can only speak for the one 3D printed doll I've got, but you honestly wouldn't know it was 3D printed unless someone told you. I think the joints on my little bat friend are very well constructed, but the stringing was a bit too loose for my liking and I'll need to fix that one of these days. I really enjoyed working with the artist on making my doll, but your mileage may vary depending on who you go with. Mine's from QuirkyQritters and I couldn't be happier with the whole process.

Of course! I believe that any good community should be welcoming, and I really feel like this one is one of the best around.

 

I’m glad you enjoyed the photos. I feel like I’m still a novice when it comes to photography. I haven’t had much time lately for them but I’m hoping to get the camera out more in the summer. There’s lots of guides on here about taking interesting photos and angles. If you’re wanting to explore the photography side of the hobby I highly recommend checking them out. They have helped me a lot.

 

Here's how it works on desktop version of Flicker that you go to in your internet browser of choice:
Find the photo on your account that you want to share. It should be displaying on a dark background above a white section with more information about that photo.
In the bottom right corner of the dark section there are four lil' pictures, click the one that is an arrow curving to the right.
That should open a box with the options: Share Embed Email and BBCode.
Click on BBCode and then select size. All of the sizes in the medium range are within DOA's photo size limits.
Copy all of the long link that is now in the dialogue box. Paste the long string into your comment box on this website.
Use the preview button to see if the link works. If all is looking how you want it to, hit post. It seems like a lot but it gets easier : )

 

What are 3d printed dolls made of? Are they sturdy? Do they cost less?

I used to be into steam punk related things. It looks nice aesthetically. I think a doll in steam punk attire would look really nice

 

I'm rather fond of their tinies (snapped this of their shelf this morning). The two girls at the back are Petite Ai from Custom House (no longer in business):

I know what you mean - my very first BJD (an SD sized Luts boy, coming up on seventeen years ago) had jeans and shirts, and now he's one fo a large family of Victorian children (some of them elves) who rarely time-travel to the modern world. It just sort of happened, although, as an historical costumer, I did always intend to make him some outfits form different periods (like the one in my icon picture to the left)

The one I have is made of resin, I would say they're sturdy, and yes, they don't cost as much generally speaking.

 

Sounds like a plan - I've been sewing doll stuff since my childhood in the seventies, and full sized clothes and costumes since my teens. I didn't sew any of the stuff in the picture, however. A fair chunk of that is from Boneka. I tend to prefer sewing for larger dolls:


Good luck with sharing the Flickr images!

Ooo those are lovely! Your Serafina is adorable : D Glad to help

 

Sweet. And I love her dress. My little wood nymph needs somethinng along those lines.

It's one of the few shots I have where I made all the clothes shown. It was for a Fairy-Tale themed doll meet, and I decided at the last minute, to make them pseudo medieval gowns so they coudl be the Twelve Dancing Princesses. I had to pul a sewing all-nighter the evening before the event to get them wearable, and most of the girls are pinned or tacked into the dresses because I ran out of time to get fastenings sewn on (and one girl had to borrow her brother's velvet robe to wear) but they at least all looked presentable for the event.

Hi I'm also in the UK in the Midlands I have all types and sizes my biggest two are 70cm and my two smallest are puki puki sized cant remember off the top of my head how big they are but tiny little ones. I have both human and fantasy dolls, I really do love the fantasy ones and also have some Dollzones.

 

hiii from near london :3!! im new to the bjd community but not the doll collecting community.
I've been looking and deciding on what bjd to buy for my first for nearly a year now... ik a bit embarrassing, but what can i say im extremely indecisive and kinda broke uni student (i have finally saved enough money for a bjd!).

 

Hello from mty México

 

I used to have a big cabinet that all my dolls were in but I took a break from all things bjd for about 4 or 5 years I just stored all my dolls away and sold the cabinet and even thought about selling my dolls as I hadnt done anything with them for do long but got back into things again in 2019. I was glad I never sold any of them, so much changed while I was away.
