Yukino and the crack
Wed 2012/02/22 02:50 JST
Thanks everyone for the feedback on Yukino's crack.
It is not major, but as I mentioned on my previous entry, now that I have other DDs, I see the difference.
I am not skilled with DD (I always over protect them because I would not even know what to do in case of stain; face ups are a no-no for me etc). Any info would be really helpful.
Arigatou gozaimasu!
Beatrice has it too. I always thought this was normal....
Unless I'm mistaken, that crack is supposed to be there on every DD frames. Dunno why it's there tho since it makes the thing more brittle :/
As said before I think it's normal. Don't worry!
That looks 'normal' as in the peg or cylinder shape is made up of two halves put together and in this case the two halves don't seem glued or stuck together (nor sure they need to be).
If it worries you I'd carefully clean/shave off the excess plastic on the top and then secure the halves together maybe? That excess plastic make sit look as it they were roughly cut from a mold or runner.
It is normal ,don't worry , just tricky to put it back in but if you are careful you won't have any problems .
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I wish the guys from VOLKS had said it to me right away (I mentioned on my email that I was a newbie and scared me didn't even want to check the other girls).
But now I have the question on why I can't get Yukino to stand like the others.
Does anyone have an idea for that? It is a huge difference! Besides this "crack" I didn't find any other visible problems, but the difference is so big.
I thought that it was maybe because of the loss upper body...
Forgive my stupid questions, but my girls are the only DD I have ever seen in 3D.....
id love to help by checking my girl x.x but ive only had her since christmas and i darent take her apart x.x' the thought scares me(+ i cant afford to get her fixed if i damaged her)
Ok, can you give us an example of what you mean by Yukino unable to stand like your other girls. Also can you tell us if any of the joints feel that they seem to be too loose. For example, when i take the upper body apart from the lower body and try to put the pieces back i find it tricky to align the peg and hole compared to the DDII body. I normally push the skeleton of the breast piece down to make it easier. Or does her leg feels too loose at the hips, like her legs can't hold they position and flops down, which was my case and i noticed these cracks: http://flic.kr/p/berYiR & http://flic.kr/p/berY8H
I did a temporary fix here, http://www.dollfiedreams.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1919&start=20#p31388
i've just been reading(well..more looking at the pictures because I don't quite understand Japanese) my dollfie dream concept note book that came with my DD body, and on the 12th page they have pictures(kinda small) of the body apart, and their model has what appears to be a crack exactly the same as your girl :)
