I have an idea to make a B.J.D. of one of my favorite anime characters (a tall, skinny male). I want to buy a 1/6 Dollfie body to make him. But, I can't find exactly what I want for sale online! On the American Volks website, most male bodies are discontinued, the Japanese website doesn't ship the male body I want overseas, and the only thing I can ever find online actually for sale are the Super Dollfies or Dollfie Dreams!
If anyone knows how to find a 1/6 scale male Dollfie, or owns one, please, please help me...
I am especially looking to buy a NEW-EB N body, but I don't mind other types.
I don't mean to be a nag. I just really want to make a doll of this character...

*passes you a piggy bank* Anything discontinued will appear on the secondhand market, but your wallet has to be ready. :) Also maybe try joining up at Den of Angels. :)

Thank you!

Obitsu has 27cm boy bodies. Have you checked those out?
-
Den of Angels won't be a good resource for the 22-27 cm Dollfies, as they are off topic there (they focus mainly on resin, elastic strung BJDs). I agree with Sol28, Obitsu is probably your best bet for a male, customizable 1/6 scale doll like what you're looking for.
Here's one on the Volks International site: https://www.volks.co.jp/page_ex.jsp?CONTROLID=SC0040&BUSINESSID=InitDisp&jancd=4518992331393
Junkyspot is in the US and sells lots of Obitsu bodies: http://www.junkyspot.com/obindex.html
Scroll down for the male bodies. Good luck finding a doll to customize & post a pic when you finish him :) I love 1/6 customs!

This is something that drives me crazy. Obitsu's regular man body is beefy and action figure-like and their Slim is sort of between the Volks Goh Guy and EB- N but they haven't put anything out to fill the skinny guy and teenage boy-shaped holes left by the EBs getting discontinued :<
-
I have been considering Obitsu, but all of the Obitsus cost 20 dollars or more. I don't have that much to spend...
I've seen 5 people on the internet--from the US, mind you--who boast that they own EB-Ns and it seems like they got them very easily (one woman's husband bought one for her).
Obitsus also look cheaper and less poseable than their Dollfie counterparts.
-
Do you mean these ones? (http://www.volksusa.com/1-6-dollfie-parts-neo-eb-neo-guy.html) Also Obitsus' can usually pose like dreams. I know the 60cm ones constantly outpost Dollfie Dreams and are more study in the long run. :o
