Ok, back to the posing obitsu y'all were telling me about

[Evelien]

Congrats! Will you be using the default head or a different one?

Whether or not it's rigid, depends on the vinyl. I can tell you for a fact that the three part obitsus are hard vinyl, while the rest of them are a combination of hard and soft vinyl. BUT the *jointing* on a three part will give a greater range of motion over the 'ball-jointed' obitsus.

The *most* posable 60cm obitsu body out there, is this one:







Now, if you aren't afraid of a little customization (or feel like hiring someone to DO the customization for you), that body can be forced to do everything that a 50cm or 48cm can do. Three extra parts need to be purchased for this. ^.~

These:











Though, if you just get the last piece there, the only bit of 50/48cm mobility that you are losing is the shoulder shrug. ^__^

That part will not physically fit into the 3-part doll. You need the soft 'squishy' torso of the 2-part one to give 'lee-way' to get that piece in.





==============================

Now for some obitsu posing:

Omi. He's about as hybrid as you can get, with parts from the 60cm, 55cm, and 50cm.











































Nah, I don't have fun with my crew.... nevah. ^.~

I always love seeing Omi doing crazy things only an Obitsu can do <3

[Yanagi-sen]

But you didn't post the one of what happened to Omi AFTER Niko dropped Momiji. ^___^ Ah, good times, I remember Nagi leaned over LAUGHING at Omi...

[Dirili]

lol Grey!
*sigh* I broke the moment I opened up my savings account to order my first three dolls. I was starting to crack when I bought that pair of 1/6 action figures.

I should get this Obitsu before any of those arrive though hehe.

I'll probably use the default head for now. Want to try doing a head sculpt myself though at some point.

Thanks again for more information Kiki! It's amazing what you do with those dolls. Makes me want to buy 5 more! Also makes me wish I was a decent photographer! But I think that's one road I will never go down. If you had posted just 1 hour earlier I might have been tempted back towards the 60 again hehe, though modding it would have made me spend more money... so I guess it's fate that I bought the 50 ^_^ I do like the idea of having the shrugging ability too.

I can't wait! I'm so happy that this at least won't take months to get here. I ordered some 1/4 jointed hands too, so hopefully I won't have too much trouble modding them.

Oh, and don't let Omi's sweet face fool you, Dirili - he's demonic!!

[Dirili]

How can that be? He looks like a sweet little mischievous monkey hehe.

[AlmySidaKay]

Who steals souls. You know, that's all. >.>

[Kirahfaye]

Also, Dirili, be aware that periodically Emory at Junky Spot does something terrible and awful - he opens up preorders on the dolls he carries! Specific to Obitsus, he takes orders for dolls, accessories and doll parts from Parabox - http://parabox.jp/eng_new/.

I haven't personally bought a larger Obitsu, but I probably will some day.

[kiki-chan78]

Yannyan, I know, I actually thought about posting that one... and a couple of others. But, I wanted to show a 'normal' range of obitsu posability. Some of the poses that I get my boys into, not quite normal. I was a little 'iffy' on posting the 'suplex' since that's kinda advances posing skills. ^.~

Dirili, I've been playing with, modding and photographing them for about 5 years now. It really is all about getting a feel for how they move, and respecting their limitations... and then finding a way to make them do what they aren't supposed to be able to do. XD

I also flat out adore all obitsus. They really are such personable little dolls. If there's something you don't like on a particular model, it usually can be fixed. Plus, if a mod is screwed up, all parts (except for the 65cm) are available for purchase separately.

Now, just to be completely evil. Here's a pose that your new doll won't be able to do. Yup, like all of my obitsus, this 50cm (Niko) is modded. ^.~







==============================

Omi is a mischievous little creature, that believes he should be an *only* doll. Of course, there is the exception of allowing his boyfriend, Erik, into the household. Given half a chance, he'd ditch everyone else that lives here.






Though, for some strange and unknown reason, it seems that my nekomimi like him. I blame this on their being somewhat stupid.
