What’s the difference between SD & DD?

What is the difference between Super Dollfie and Dollfie Dream? Do you know? If not, then this post is just for you!

There are actually several differences between the two, and our lovely girls here:

On the left is SD Nono and on the right is a custom DDH-04/Eyeholes Open on a DDII Base Body (Normal Skin).

Our girls are wearing matching lingerie sets that comes both in SD and DD size. Just in time for Christmas. Aren’t they cute?

As you can see from the above photos, our two models are very different in appearance. Just by looking at the two you can tell that  the DD girl on the right has a much more stylized and animated look compared to the SD girl on the left who is more realistic looking overall. Physically, the DD is taller than the standard SD girl and has a much slender and mature body in comparison. The DD proportions overall are quite different from the SD including head size. Although Nono is said to have one of the biggest SD heads, it still stands that DD head sizes are generally smaller than SD. That is why they have their own specific sized wigs.

These girls are both in Normal skin tone, but do you notice a difference in the color?

There is a considerable difference in the color because the two girls are made from completely different material. All of our SD are made from a polyurethane resin which gives their a skin tone a smooth, radiant and natural look. All of our DD, on the other hand, are made from plastic and soft vinyl which gives their skin tone a bit more porous, but soft look. Also, because of the difference in material, the SD is much heavier than the DD and a bit fragile. So, be careful not to drop your SD!

Moreover, SD are susceptible to resin yellowing which is a natural process that occurs over time. High exposures of UV rays can speed up yellowing, so be sure not to leave your SD in the sun or bright lighting for long periods of time. DD do not really yellow, but are very susceptible to staining. DD staining can result from any bright colored clothing or material coming in close contact with their skin.  That is why we highly encourage owners to use a Head Cap under dark wigs and a Body Stocking under dark clothing to help prevent major staining.

In addition to appearance and material, the internal mechanism of each doll is vastly different, which you can see here:

Contrary to popular belief, DD are not considered ball-jointed dolls because of their body construction. Although DD technically have ball-joints, what you are seeing is apart of the inner frame of the doll which is basically like a skeleton. The inner frame is a segment of articulating parts made of hard plastic in which the outer parts of the doll like the hands, arms, etc. slip over  it like skin. Each body part is hollow on the inside and soft, allowing them to slip over the skeleton easily.

DD body parts are squishy!

 Because of the DD inner structure, they can pose well and hold poses for a long time.

SD on the other hand are considered ball-jointed dolls because they have separated ball-joints that are needed to help connect the body parts of the doll together. Each SD body part has a hollow tunnel inside that allows elastic cords to run through them. The elastics are then secured through ‘S’ shaped hooks located in the neck, hands, and feet of the doll.

Our SD has a hook hand! But with out it, the elastic inside the doll would not hold the body parts together.

With its special elastic system, the SD is quite flexible and can pose fluidily. Posing an SD often, though, will wear out the elastic so you will need to tighten or change the elastic of your SD from time to time.

Now that you’ve seen the main differences of each doll, what do you think? Both the SD and DD are unique, interesting and wonderful dolls to own. If you are considering buying one of these dolls, there are a few things you should know about how to buy.

Our website offers both standard Super Dollfie and standard Dollfie Dream models for purchase anytime. Both dolls are also regularly released as Limited Edition models, so keep checking our website for upcoming releases.

 Besides hands and feet, we do not sell SD body parts separately. But, you can order a custom Super Dollfie through the Full Choice System, which is a service only offered at a Tenshi-no-Sumika location.

Although we do not offer a custom order service for Dollfie Dream, you can put together your own DD by starting off with any one of the Base Bodies. In addition, we sell many other DD body parts on our website, but the essential inner frame of the DD can only be purchased through one of the Base Bodies.

Now that you’ve learned the differences between Super Dollfie and Dollfie Dream and how to buy, all you need to do now is to decide which doll is right for you. We hope this post was helpful to you. And please contact us if you have any questions regarding this post.

‘Til next time~
