The end of hard body

Postby yah » Mon Nov 01, 2021 7:04 am

Hello again :roll:

I don't saw this small (but IMPORTANT for me) news in this forum, and I say:
OBITSU discontinued their old 1/6 line in september.
https://obitsu.co.jp/news/archives/259

ALL 21 and 23 boys (girls are already discontinued)
ALL 27 ladies (include SBH)
ALL 27 guys (real and slim)
Head 06
Grasstic eyes 6mm and 8mm
and some items.

I think so Major doll makers of japan are finished change their products from hard plastic to soft vinyl.
It means time for I leave doll-custmize hobby is come

That's too bad. I wonder why they are getting out of it?

Could they be shifting towards the Pureneemo body style instead?

They did make a big shift in production before and stopped making some of the older sizes I have.

they've shifted to the new standard set by their 2018 23/24/26cm. bodies, a colossal improvement all around, YMMV;

- OBITSU 26 -

I am crushed by the discontinuation of doll bodies, but that new body looks nice enough, maybe I'll give one or two a try.
