Coming Soon- Touhou Project Cirno MDD

Volks announced the results of the Dolls Party 27 after event international lottery early this morning, I woke up around 4 AM to a confirmation email from Volks informing me that I had won Cirno. I had entered twice each for Rise of Persona 4 and Cirno from Touhou Project and only one of the four entries was actually successful.
Coming Soon...
Cirno was not available via VolksUSA at all but much to my surprise and delight she was eventually offered via the international lottery. She has the new and hopefully improved MDDIII body. Hopefully she will be here within a few weeks (this is my first time buying from Volks’ international site so I am not entirely sure).
Coming Soon..
In other DD news, I also got shipping notification from VolksUSA yesterday for Lucy she should be here next Tuesday.

Dolly Round Up- BJD and DD edition

…or how Fairyland, Latidoll and Volks conspired to completely empty my wallet. Lots of new and interesting things have popped up on my collective BJD and DD radar in the past month or so; as I am so backed up here rather than devoting a post to each new and interesting thing I have decided to do a collected post.

First some Maria spam, which admittedly doesn’t have a heck of a lot to do with the rest of this post but I have really been enjoying photographing her recently so I felt like sharing some pics was in order.
Maria & Illya
With my other MDD Illya, they are both wearing wa-loli kimonos by KeelyVH.
Maria
and then a solo shot. As soon as I saw this kimono I knew it would be perfect for Maria as it matches her eyes so beautifully, luckily I was able to arrange a trade with KeelyVH for it.

Enough picspam time to move on to to how various companies are in on an evil conspiracy to completely empty my wallet!

Arrival- Mini Dollfie Dream Maria from When the Seagulls Cry

It has been a over a year since the arrival of my last Dollfie Dream (Saber Lily). I will admit that though I have not had any recent arrivals I did preorder Saber EXTRA and Saber Alter II through VolksUSA and more recently I got lucky with their lottery and won  Lucy from ToHeart 2. I had been desperately wanting a new DD  but since I have the three coming in June I was trying to be good…unfortunately for my wallet I happened to be browsing on eBay and spotted this darling at a price I could not resist.
Maria
Maria is from When the Seagulls Cry (Umineko no Naku Koro ni)  which was originally a murder mystery visual novel game, that eventually became a manga before finally getting a twenty six episode anime series.  Continue reading

Ordered! Saber Dollfie Dreams

It’s official, I put my order in yesterday on VolksUSA for Dollfie Dreams Saber Alter the 2nd version of Fate Hollow/Ataraxia and Saber of Fate/EXTRA.  I was supposed to have a cap of 20 Dollfie Dreams which I reached earlier this year, the purchase of any additional Dollfie Dreams would require a blood-price in the form of only using funds from the sale of other dolls to purchase them. I sold several dolls in the past few weeks to raise the necessary funds to purchase them but I feel like it was worth it even though I am now in for a hell of a wait (June of next year).

Although I love both of the new Saber Dollfie Dreams, I must admit a slight preference towards Saber Alter 2nd version I am more drawn to evil characters it seems ^^; I actually did two separate orders for them and Saber Alter 2nd Version was ordered several hours before the other so she will officially be counted as my 21st DD (I’m actually hoping by the time she gets here she will be the 22nd or 23rd but we shall see).
main2
I tried to be good and wait until the rest of my paypal funds transferred into my bank account before ordering her but I couldn’t sleep last night so I ended up ordering her around 3am this morning ^^;

Coincidentally, I am on a dolly diet for the duration of October I have some car repairs to my secondary vehicle I need to take care of and between ordering both Saber Dollfie Dreams and Littlefee Rolly a few days ago I’m pretty tapped out.

Catching up and October= Empty Wallet Event

I’ve been crazy busy as well as sick lately so I’m afraid updating this site kind of took a backseat for a little while again. I’m going to try my best to caught up in the coming week.

Now unto more current events…
yhst-70052297082953_2178_2342308 yhst-70052297082953_2178_1181768
I’m  working on funds raising towards for the Volks Type Moon x Dollfie Dream collaboration web-order event right now. For those who don’t already know, Volks is offering two new versions of Saber Dollfie Dreams via web-0rder (not via lottery- guaranteed) but they are only available for a limited amount of time. I, of course fell head over heels with Saber Alter 2nd Version and  Fate/EXTRA Saber and decided I would absolutely need the pair. Fuck my wallet.

The need for both of the new Saber DDs really got me thinking about what I would sacrifice in order to obtain them, after some careful thought and consideration I decided I was going to go through and do a dolly cull.  I went through and made a short-list of which dolls weren’t really working out for me quite the way I wanted them to and posted a sales thread on Friday. So far, I’ve already raised about $800 just from doll sales this weekend (and a few of my other dolls are on hold/pending payment). Honestly, I did not things to work out so well so quickly I’m already more than halfway to my goal and have more than enough to preorder one of the Sabers. My plan is to preorder Saber Alter 2nd version later this week, as I admittedly have a slightly preference towards her (I really love both but if I could only get one, she would be it). Once Saber Alter 2nd version’s preorder has been confirmed, I will focus all my energy on raising the additional funds needed for Fate/Extra Saber.

As, if the Volks DD web-order event wasn’t bad enough for my wallet Fairyland is also holding an event right now. They announced several new BJDs and I thought I was safe and then I saw their new Littlefee, Rolly. Littlefee/Yo-SD are my favorite bjd size so they are always the most tempting to me in general but their is just something really special about Rolly. So in addition to funding both of the Saber DDs I’m also going to try and least scrap together the cash for a deposit on her.

So with the Volks and the Fairyland events running concurrently October will indeed be my own personal empty wallet event. I will probably be making a doll sales post here later in the week, once I handle getting the current batch of dolls that have sold out in the mail as I don’t want to overwhelm myself too much by doing too much at once.

Yoko and Saber Lily Dollfie Dreams

Since it had been a good long while since I took any of my Dollfie Dreams out for photos, I decided that I would take two of my girls to the park  yesterday to get some quality photo time in. I chose Saber Lily from Fate/Unlimited Codes and one of my Yoko twins from Gurren Lagann for the photographic honor.

Admittedly, I have been a bit apathetic towards Dollfie Dream in general lately; I love my DD girls but I haven’t really had the motivation or inclination to photograph them or to hunt down new recruits for my DD squad. Luckily, my interest in anime has been somewhat rekindled lately and with it  my interest in DD.

166/365- New camera and Suzumiya DD pictures

I finally got a new camera, I had originally planned to just get a straight up replacement and get another Canon Eos Rebel XS  but I ended up getting a T3 instead. It’s a little different than my old camera but it’s still pretty easy to use. My old camera had issues, about two weeks ago the ability to auto-focus as well as the viewfinder simultaneously just gave out, both the camera and the lens were messed up (I have some theories on how this happened) but it would have been so costly to fix it just made more sense to buy a replacement.

I decided to take my Suzumiya DD out for some test photos with my new camera, plus to feature her holding my new electronic “toy” as my picture of the day for my 365 project.

Pullip Meet @Animadness June 18th

Animadness is hosting another Pullip meet on Saturday June 18th, the meet starts at 1pm and goes until whenever. Animadness will be running a special during the meet, all dolls will be 10% off and they will even come with a free re-ment. There will be photo areas (this meet’s theme is camping), group pictures of dolls as well as a time for buy/sell/trading/swap with other collectors.
Animadness Pullip meet!

While it is a Pullip meet, all other doll types (bjd, blythe, dollfie dream, etc) are eagerly  welcomed. You are even welcome if you do not own a doll and just wish to see some in person out of idle curiosity.

I’ll be attending, I will have a small army of Pullips and company in tow as well as a dollfie dream, a bjd and a blythe. I should even have my custom Duela Dent Pullip by then. Hopefully I’ll have a new lens for my bloody camera by then.

131/365- K-on Yui Dollfie Dream

It’s been a long while since I have photographed any of my dollfie dreams, as much as I love them I lack the proper space in the apartment to photograph them and it has just now started being nice enough again to venture outside with them. I decided to take my darling little Yui out today as I haven’t taken any pictures of her in a long time.
131/365
Yui’s actually one of my favorite Dollfie Dreams, I made the conscious decision when she was announced to forgo the grand majority of the flood of figures from the series and instead focus on attaining the most perfect Yui- the DD. I was not able to completely avoid the temptation to collect K-on figures as I now own all the girls in nendoroid form but besides the nendoroids and the DD I haven’t bought any figures/merchandise from K-on.
Yui
Yui’s not quite as adventurous/fearless as some of my other dollfie dreams she didn’t really seem to care for the tree climbing so much.
