New Pinky Street Releases

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Klein

I was browsing HLJ yesterday when I discovered a new set of pinky street figures up for preorder. I immediately logged into the pinky-street.com forum to find more information not only are there three new releases but pinky street themselves have set up a pinky website: http://www.pinky-st.net/

There is also a rumor going around that they will not be coming with a second outfit as there has not been any pictured as of yet. It is a serious wtf if they do not come with a second outfit especially since pinky’s tagline is “The changing-clothes figure skating of new feeling which can enjoy recombination freely with spare clothing feeling” and they would be removing the changing clothes aspect unless you have other pinkies already (it’s not like I don’t already have over 100 it’s just a pet peeve that they don’t come with a second outfit).

PK025-A bit reminiscent of Yoshiko (PK001), kind of plain but cute.

PK026- I love the outfit but what is up with that mouth O_O

Pinky027- This one is my favorite of the three, I really like her kind of reminds me of Ryomou’s dollfie head.

He is My Master shelf

Posted on July 9, 2009 by Klein

I have a certain fondness for Gainax shows and Gainax tends to whore their shows out and release tons of merchandise from them (with few exceptions like Mahoromatic who have scant few anime figures >_<). I really enjoyed He is My Master as anime it was pretty cute and fun. Well anyways here are my He Is my Master figure collection..

I don’t own every He Is My Master figure. I lack: Enterbrain Izumi (who really underwhelmed me when I seen her in person so I decided to pass), Mitsuki and Anna by Toys Planning ( I had them preordered but after getting Izumi I canceled them) plus various gashapon and I don’t own any of the kits (I don’t think there were ever any completed coldcast but I could be wrong). That being said I am pretty happy with my collection.

I think the three clayz figures in the middle are my favorites of the collection, I got them for Christmas a few years ago from a friend of mine. Izumi is my favorite of three overall and in the Clayz set (would not mind a dollfie of her). I think despite it’s size the alter Hobby Japan Izumi is really nice too.

Last year I went on a buying spree of He is My Master figures I went from having the three clayz and the Izumi from Toys Planning to all that you see on the shelf within a month or two ^^; I remember the Mitsuki on their pet alligator figure being especially a pain to find.

I also own plushes of the three main characters, a large towel featuring Izumi and Mitsuki and sheets featuring Izumi and Anna. Eventually I will get around to photographing them as well.

Shelving is so much fun

Posted on July 9, 2009 by Klein

Well not really but I worked on this last night and much of this afternoon so I thought I should take a picture of what I managed to accomplish as lord knows it will stay this way for long.

Larger Version here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/3702412724/

I did do some series shelves again (Shining Tears/Wind, Lucky Star, Gundam Seed, He is My Master, Vocaloid, Disgaea and I split shelf between Shana and Galaxy Angel) but I also did some mixed shelves because I have a lot of one shot figures but I tried to keep similiar ones together as much as possible. I need to do more shelving this week as I am out of coffee tables to stack them on until they find a proper place on the shelf ^^;

Tagging this one was an utter bitch.

Fate/Stay Night- Rin DD

Posted on July 8, 2009 by Klein

Rin arrived on Monday along with Estel, she was actually Estel’s senior by a few hours as UPS delivered her and I am fairly close to the UPS distribution centers so they tend to deliver fairly early in the morning. Rin has the distinction of being my cheapest dollfie (so far anyway) as I actually got her from Volksusa’s site, I managed to acquire a preorder slot for her via lottery so she was only actually $528 plus shipping . She was also the only dollfie that upon opening reaked of new plastic smell >_<

I love Rin she has almost a cat-like quality about her, the shape of her eyes and the shape of her lips only adds to that impression. I love her eyes and her wig is absolutely dead-on to her character design.

Acquisition- Estel-Yoake Mae yori Ruri-iro na

Posted on July 7, 2009 by Klein

Estel was my mystery dollfie. I had always been fascinated with her and Feena but after really studying photos of them, I discovered that while they shared the same headmold I much preferred Estel’s face up. Something just seemed to be missing with Feena. I had a hell of time finding owner photos of Estel so that further drove my ambition to get her . Oddly when I was picking out my first dollfie I was looking through a compiled character list of all the Dollfie Dreams and I remember looking at Estel thinking somehow, someway I was going to end up getting her.

Her eyes seem to be noticeably more wide/open than any of my other girls. She is also on a normal dollfie dream body which when compared to the other girls makes her seem a bit younger or childlike. I love her eyes and her pale lavender hair.

Her stock is really beautifully made, the dress is especially well done the pleating is amazing and her bracelets are real metal. My only regret is that her stock kind of makes her stick out a bit too much compared to the other dollfies.

Pricewise I didn’t do bad for her she was my cheapest secondary market purchase costing about 1/2 of what Ryomou or Kanu did. Her price was very slightly over her original MSRP

All and all I am very pleased with her although getting her and Rin made me realize I wanted even more dollfies T_T

Two new dollfie arrivals (and a dal)

Posted on July 6, 2009 by Klein

I am once again flumoxed by the arrival of two dollfie dreams on the same day despite the fact that they shipped on different days, by different sellers and in this case different countries. Rin came from Volks USA via UPS a little earlier than I antipated her, I had won the preorder lottery for her through Volks’ site. My mystery dollfie, Estel came from one of my agents in Japan.

I know some of you are wondering why I chose Estel out of all of the released dollfies the truth is I really loved her face up and thought she might make a good match for Ryomou (there are no male DDs and I am sure as hell not buying a male bjd as most of them come anatomically correct and resin dick= do not want). She has a really lady-like aura around her and I was unable to find many owner photos of her so that kind of motivated me even more. Oddly when I first started looking at Dollfies I always knew I would somehow end up getting her.

I plan to start deboxing both girls once I get back from the post office (I am shipping my half of a blythe trade off today). I was supposed to ship on Friday but all the post offices closed at noon >_<

My second Charlotte dal arrived today as well, I am currently trying to sell her stock on dolly market as I have no use for it (if anyone is that interested in it reading this shoot me an email at atashi.saikano@gmail.com ). Charlotte is more than likely going to become my Mad Hatter dal as the Drta I was going to use is getting customized into a dal Froggy. That reminds me I should email the girl who I commissioned for the Mad Hatter outfit and see what is going on with that.

Preorder day again already?

Posted on July 5, 2009 by Klein

I didn’t actually preorder all that much this week ^^; Part of it is I am waiting for other sites to start taking preorders for a couple of additional figures I want as TL wants way too much over the yen price for them (especially on a Kotobukiya figure wtf? ). On the bright side I guess this should make updating http://kleintoys.wordpress.com/preorders/toyslogic/ a tad easier, still need to build pages for Hobbysearch, Hobbylink, CDJapan and a few other places but I haven’t had the time ^^;

Various Doll Updates: Pullip, Blythe and Dollfie Dream

Posted on July 4, 2009 by Klein

Pullip– Angelique and Charlotte are still kicking around in the post I hate SAL sometimes. I am also awaiting two other dolls; a custom dal named Jupin who is a dal customized to look the pullip Jupi and I am trading one of my Ridas for a Latte. I am in the process of commissioning another custom dal, with a different customizer this time, as much as I love Requiem’s work I wanted to try a different customizer as a couple of my friends have customs by her and really speak very highly of her work . I am having a custom dal made up of the little pullip Froggy, Little Froggy is my absolute favorite mini and I have already seen a few customs pullips of her then I thought she might be even cuter as a dal.

Blythe– I have fallen head over heels for next month’s release Punkaholic People. I absolutely must have her.

I currently in the process of trading my Love Mission to make a space for her (I don’t want to have too many with dark hair or anyone hair color for that matter plus I am trying to keep a close eye on their number). Speaking of the trade I am acquiring a Primadolly Saffy so I am rather pleased as she is one of my favorite blythes that I don’t own.

Dollfie Dream– I just checked tracking it looks as though the mysterious Dollfie Dream just arrived in the States a little earlier this evening which would normally mean that she would be delivered tomorrow. Unfortunately there is no mail delivery tomorrow because of the holiday so it looks as though both the mystery DD and Rin will both be arriving together on Monday. Oh the irony.. Ryomou and Kanu showed up on the same day despite the fact they were purchased a few days apart from very different sellers. I wonder if this is a sign that I should buy another when Yoko is due. Anticipate lots of pictures next week.

Recent Acquistion- Suzumiya by Max Factory

Posted on July 4, 2009 by Klein

I actually got this one a few weeks ago but just got around to deboxing it a couple of days ago. I think this might be my favorite figure of Suzumiya herself although honestly I have always been more of a Mikuru fan myself. This figure has a very vibrant feel to it. The detailing is lovely, the guitar and the stockings are especially well done. I love the fact that she is actually holding a guitar pick.

I love Suzumiya’s joyful expression in this figure. This figure to me outshines the other iconic Max factory figure of Suzumiya. The iconic figure of Suzumiya in the school uniform is one everyone that collects anime figures seems to own, oddly I myself no longer own that figure but I do have the Wonder Fest limited version with short sleeves. To me that figure doesn’t even hold a candle to this one.

Recent Acquistion- BJD- Bea (Allie)

Posted on July 3, 2009 by Klein

I received my fourth bjd in the mail today. She is a tiny (roughly 10 cm) bjd- she is roughly the same size as little pullips, pukis and pinky streets. She was made by Felixdoll, she is part of their brownie line and she is an Allie. I have decided to name her Bea- I don’t know why I have decided to name her Bea but I have named her Bea ^^; . She is quite cute and I love her stock but I don’t like her as much as my other two tinies ^^;

I knew she was going to be approximately the same size as a puki but I didn’t just how similiar they would actually be…
Nude side by side photo- www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/3681947555/in/set-72157620743966461/
Their boxes are even very similiar- www.flickr.com/photos/pullip_junk/3681945121/in/set-72157620743966461
They are similiar but not identical.. the head shape is the most obvious difference between the two of them. The knees and torso have different joints than the puki as well but they are still remarkably similiar.
