Title: 1/6 MALE DOLLFIES!?
Post by: CinnamonSatin on August 17, 2013, 10:18:11 AM
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.  :)

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
