Pullips and Junk

Other preludes..

Posted on February 8, 2009 by Klein

Migraine… going on eight hours now of blinding pain.. since I can’t sleep…

Yesterday.. I bought two really rather interesting things besides the dollfie dream.

Doll-
Honestly I have only ever watched the first three or four episodes of Melancholy of Suzumiya and I watched eons before it got licensed, in raw Japanese. Eventually I know I will get around to actually watching it and I know I will love it so until then I buy figures from it to save myself the eventual pain of having to track them down at a later date for a higher price.

I absolutely adore Mikuru, I am such a sucker for her especially if she in her waitress uniform. I knew there was an Azone of Mikuru but it was the school uniform so I wasn’t that terribly interested but look what I came across yesterday. I immediately purchased it but have since not really been able to find much information about her, all I have been able to is a few blog posts wondering if she was limited as her packaging was different and her price on yahoo japan vs the standard is significantly higher. If anyone knows any additional information, please share.

Figure- I finally caved and bought the Alter Fate Tesstarossa I have been wanting. She was my most wanted figure. I had seen her in Hawaii and wanted her but I only had two empty suitcases to bring back anime purchases and she would have taken up most of one of them so I decided against her even though I loved her. Toyslogic put up a preorder for the reissue for May so I preordered it and then in December I get an email saying sorry we were not able to get her in stock. I was not amused but I digress, regardless of the circumstances I am getting her so I don’t care.

I also paid for my pullip preorders for the month, almost $300 for the pullip, dal and taeyang T_T. Next month it is going to be closer to $400 because of the collaboration at least next month is my birthday so there is a good chance I will not have to pay for all of them myself.

Dollfie Dream

Posted on February 8, 2009 by Klein

The dollfie dream has officially been purchased and she is by far my most expensive anime purchase ever. I will not be sharing who she is until she arrives. I hope she arrives before my doll meet on the 16th. I need to order her a stand and a wig cap off of volks usa before I forget.

I made a special trip to Ikea today to buy her, her own detolf case. After much discussion and debate I opted not to get her the detolf after all and go for the biby instead as well seeing how much was spent on her I would rather like her under lock and key.

I haven’t been this excited about a doll in a while. I actually contemplated buying a second dollfie dream today … must resist urge to populate apartment with dollfie dreams.

Recent Acquisition- Vocaloid

Posted on February 6, 2009 by Klein

I honestly don’t really get how these are considered music boxes.. yes they make music so that part is true it is the box part I have an issue with because as far as I can tell these don’t open at all and what you see is what you get. That being said they are absolutely adorable and I adore them especially the chibi-miku one as it plays Miku’s most famous song. Not a whole lot to say about these but I still love them.

Recent Acquisition- BJD- Little Fee Ante

Posted on February 5, 2009 by Klein

I received my first bjd in the mail last Saturday. I purchased a Little Fee Ante (Full Set) by Fairyland from Denver Doll. I had been curious about bjds for a while but never really found one that spoke to me before, a friend of me posted a picture of her up in their blog and I just had to have her. I ended naming mine Marie…

Marie is approximately YO-SD sized so approximately 10 inches tall. She is approximately the same height as a dal but she is much chubbier. She poses wonderfully almost as well as a pullip. I am still a little nervous about handling her and I do so literally with white gloves on as to not risk me accidentily touching her face. I am also ultra-nervous about her yellowing so I had to put her in the upper hallway where there are no windows and no natural lighting whatsoever.

The opening was a bit of an ordeal as she arrived somewhat in kit form. She herself was nude and bald inside of a small pillow-like bag and all her clothing and accessories were in seperate bags. It took me a few minutes to get her dressed and photo ready. Once I started photographing her I absolutely fell in love, she is an absolute joy to photograph. I am so enthralled with her I actually want a second one but the one I want appears to be sold out at the moment. I am considering getting a puki which are smaller dolls by the same company but I am having hard time choosing one.

Well if Jun Planning won't make me one…

Posted on February 4, 2009 by Klein

I’ll just have to make my own damn Chii
Chii
Chii Chii
She is not a custom but she has been customized… She is an Eternia with new eye chips, eyelashed, painted eyelids, and enhanced lips. She has also been rewigged with a straightened Shinku wig and her ears and spools were made for me by Requiem.

Miku Madness

Posted on January 27, 2009 by Klein

Miku
I love Vocaloid and I have a serious soft spot for Miku. Surprisingly even though Vocaloid is massively popular there are not that many figures from it. There have been a few sega prizes, two nendoroids (one normal, one limited), a figma, the 1/8 good smile company Miku pictures above and of course the fabled 1/6 Volks Miku.
