[Volks/Dollfie dream] official patent documents | HIdden Joints! |

n66x is a group moderator n66x says:

finally discovered the Volks patent documents
for Dollfie Dream back from april,27,2006

I've uploaded it in my website---> download them here

you can now learn all about the construction and ideas
behind the project and have a detailed view of the inner
skeleton and how everything works.
EDIT:
---------------HIDDEN JOINTS!---------------------

looking at page 10 you'll see how the inner skeleton is designed
to bend more with a secretive joint(53) inside the upper arm part
that almost bends the inner arm skeleton in it's lower 1/3 position!!
this gives almost 10-20% more than before and it's actually
made to pop in and pop out..you just pull, pop and extent the joint
all the way out and then you can bend the arms more than the
normal 90 degrees!I..then straighten the arm and you can push it
back in so it can fall into place.
You can also bend the legs more
with the specially designed inner joints it's designed
to pop out and not bend or wrinkle the vinyl part..

cool, this look like a top secret document or something lol
interesting how they show the arm is supposed to bend, I'll have to compare to the picture to see if it really bends as much!

I found out about the extra posing possibilities a while ago when removing the arms to put a dress on Lilly. I figured I must have been slow with the discovery so never bothered talking about it lol.

hahaha I must be slower than anyone, I now remember I had seen this in a JP website a long time ago and thought '-why did this person popped her arms out like that?!'..then it happened to me randomly and I was like '-well they didn't make that right now,did they?' thinking it was just an error but reading all about how this was always meant and build to work this way and for this purpose it's all new to me,lol..XDXD

I found out about this joint by mistake when I unboxed my Yoko, her left arm joint was already popped down like in n66x's first photo. At first I thought she was broken!

msgeek93  Pro User  says:

Are there any drawings of the internals of the torso? I am wondering if the DDII is vulnerable to the same breakage issues as the Obitsu. Obitsu seems to be far more open to "doll hackers" than Volks is. You can buy just about anything you need to fix an Obitsu at Parabox, Ltd. I would like to know about the DDII internals so if I can't fix a breakage, at least I can know where the vulnerabilities are so I can avoid breakage.

This is an image from Volks website.

But AFAIK Volks doesn't sell internal replacement parts. If something breaks, You have to fix it by Yourself.

I've never had an internal DD part break on me. I think they're pretty sturdy.

Msgeek93, the only thing know to be careful of is the shoulder joint. On My Aoi, when I first got her I tried twisting her arms up a little too hard and now they are quite a bit more loose than they should be. I can also see where the hook at the end of the peg that slides into the bust piece is squished a little on both sides. I can try to get a photo of it if you'd like.

oh it's a good chance for me to send a warning about the waist pole that keeps the bust attached to the bottom...I've seem lots and lots of cases where it broke completely off so there is a very vulnerable piece right there...Y__Y

Mmmm before seeing these, I would sometimes force the elbow to pop out a bit to get the hands closer to the face, but thought I was doing something "wrong" so I wouldn't push it too much lol. Now seeing these I see it's perfectly meant to be lol. Thanks n66x!!

I have accidentally popped Escalayer's shoulder joint before and I thought I was on the verge of breaking her @.@ seems like I have more to learn as well. I got to try the new elbow secret joint when I get home!

So the arm can separate at the elbow also?? I guess not understanding how this joint works.

Ultimaknight, basically you just hold the elbow ball and pull it down and forward a little. If your doll is new or tight you may have to rock it from side to side a little as you pull down.

like The Doll Zoo said,pull out the joint for a few cm(in an upright straight position) and then bend the joint piece and next bent the arm up,push the join back in to make it look smoother and you're done..also like The Doll Zoo said if it gets stuck on the vinyl walls,give it a rock or use a pair of tweezers to push the vinyl back from the joint.

apparently the hidden joints were mentioned in the site too, here is the text:

www.volks.co.jp/en/dollfiedream/basebodys/02/index_02.aspx
Revolution 3
Upper arm parts have even more beautiful and dynamic function with
Secret-joint (patent pending) and soft body!
-
Revolution 5
Ultimate number of posing is possible for DD by Secret-joint (patent
pending) and soft body. Beautiful and dynamic movements are yours!
-
Revolution 6
The development of the Secret-joint (patent pending) gives the revolutionary
movements for thigh parts.


has anyone tried pulling out the legs further?
seems they work the same way the arms work too,
