Ok, so a few years ago i saw my first Dollfie, loved how they looked, but never looked into getting one. This year at A-Kon i saw a bunch of people walking around with them. Also saw people selling the bodies and clothes and wigs, but didn't have enough on me to buy one. ^^;

So i have a few questions.

One: is there any size charts? I've been looking through the Volks webpage(s) and looking at all the pretties, but what is the size diffrence of the diffrent kinds (SD, SD 13, etc.)?

Another question is, since i've seen that some Dollfies have to have eyes painted on, is there a way to tell a Dollfie from just a BJD? Or are they pretty much all the same? In short, what makes Dollfies diffrent?

Third, i recently bought this beauty from A-Kon. <3 Saw one who, i belive, is definatly a Dollfie, but she was sold right before i got there so i got this one:

Is she a Dollfie? All the sales guy told me was that she was an older model and her waist is fragile because of it, so i have to be careful. All her joints come apart vairly easily, but her waist is particularly fragile. Weather or not she is a Dollfie isn't that big a deal, but i'd like to know if i own a Dollfie or if i need to save up to buy my first. Also, if she is a Dollfie what kind?


Um...i belive that is it for right now...

^^;; yeah. Feel kinda stupid but its better to ask now then look like an idiot later.

Your pictures aren't working, so I can't tell you, but if her joints are coming apart then I'm guessing that she's made out of vinyl and not resin, since that doesn't really happen if they're strung together.
If that's the case, and you can pull her joints off, then you could try fixing it by putting a tiny piece of cloth or paper in the hole that her joint goes. I have a volks EB-N, and his arms kept falling off until I did that. Just make sure you don't put too much, or you won't be able to get the joint all the way back in.
In any case, there is a good chance that she is a Dollfie, probably a Volks Excellent Base body. If not, she's probably an Obitsu.

Check out this and see if they look similar:

Hope that helps.
