Estel Freesia’s end, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
Alright, so I finally made it to the new cast on the PS2 port version Estel Freesia. What can I say about her? Estel is quite a tsundere, more than Natsuki (especially after I started her Moonlight Cradle arc) and definitely a tough nut to crack! I am going to try a slightly different approach and compact her story a bit more, Feena's story was way too long and I probably had way too much details in the last writeup.
Dollfie Dream Asuka, Rin and Saber Photo Session
Been quiet for the past couple of days, but I finally started to feel better for the past day so I decided to catch this chance to go out with my Dollfie Daughters again. The main objective this time was to correct a few oversights I had in the last outing so I had to take DD Asuka アスカ and DD Rin 遠坂 凛 out again, but that would be a tad too dry just to keep taking photos of those two so I decided to take DD Saber out with me as well.
Dollfie Dream Daughter Erika’s Arrival and The August Four Photo Shoot
For the past month or so, I have been secretly working a large scale Dollfie Dream photo shoot to celebrate the arrival of my fifteenth Dollfie Dream daughter Erika and fourteenth daughter Estel (since Estel never did get a proper photo shoot of her own, partly because I knew I had Erika on the way
Dollfie Dream Family Photo + DD Gathering Update + OTACOOL
I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the "surprise element" deadline >.>;;; Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party...
Dollfie Dream DD Saber Lily X Kiriha Kuze ~ Maid Version ~
It was only a matter of time before I put two of my most favorite Dollfie Dream daughters DD Saber Lily セイバー・リリィ and DD Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 together for a full photo shoot, the pictures from the New Year Greeting post were merely a preview of what was probably a fact that was waiting to happen; I wouldn't put it past some of you who regularly visit my blog that this was already in the work ^^; What kind of photo shoot would I put together for my most favorite daughters the more mature and sexy Lily and together? Well, I actually tried to throw in a mixture of themes this time, involving the sexy, sisterly love and some light yuri perhaps =3.
Trinity of Dollfie Dream Saber Maid Version
For the very first time, the 3 big heads 三巨頭 DD Saber セイバー, DD Saber Lily セイバー・リリィ and DD Saber Alter of the Fate/stay Night world have gathered together for this special photo shoot!!
Dollfie Dream Saber X Buckingham Palace
How long has it been since I acquired the cloak for Saber? Hmm ever since Airi arrived? Yeah, I been wanting to do a Saber solo shoot out for that long, but laziness and procrastination delayed it for this long! Errr, not really, I was busy with other stuff and had the lighting setup packed away and didn't pull them back out until just recently. Anyway, I been wanting to do this shoot out with Saber standing in front of the Buckingham Palace and I have finally done it! I think I managed to pack a few pretty good shots in there, hopefully you would enjoy them as much as I did :D
Japan Trip Report Arrival and Day 1
How I managed to tour Japan in 3 Days and 4 Nights while hitting all the hot spots like Odaiba Gundam, Evangelion 2.0 You can (not) advance, Kamen Rider Decade Movie - All Riders vs. Dai Shocker with shopping in Akihabara! My assistant Pretty Fräulein Asuka-chan will guide you through all that.
Dollfie Dream Kiriha at AnimeExpo 2010 in Los Angeles
I have always heard about how Anime Expo is one of the largest anime convention in North America but I have never once thought about going there myself in previous years. However, the convergence of various factors this year including the chance of meeting some of the friends I have made online at figure.fm, a trip to Volks USA and meeting Danny in person were enough to persuade me to make this journey. So, for this past weekend, I have picked my most pampered Dollfie Dream, DD娃娃 Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 to accompany me to Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles!
Dollfie Dream DD Saber Lily ~ Elegant Lady ~
Back in December 2010, soon after Lily arrived, I had her put on one of the maid dress I acquired from Le chat de neige in the Trinity of Dollfie Dream Saber Maid blog post, a highly sought after Dollfie Dream fashion label in Yahoo Japan Auction
ToHeart 2 PC version Kusugawa Sasara Part 1
Ever since the announcement of Dollfie Dream Sasara 久寿川 ささら by Volks a few days ago, I have assigned utmost priority to learn about Sasara's story. It's funny that I have been putting it off for more than a year, and I know I have been wanting to do it but the announcement of DD Sasara gave me the final nudge in the back I needed to start another visual novel marathon. I suppose this is my first Leaf game as well.
Natsuki Takamizawa’s end, Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
I am just going to say it to get it off my chest, Natsuki Takamizawa (鷹見沢 菜月) deserves more attention than she is getting! Ok, while I don't think Natsuki is in the same league as Feena in terms of elegance and beauty, and she may just be a plain Jane next door neighborhood girl; but she is quite cute in her own rights, I don't understand why there hasn't been a single figure made of her yet.
Dollfie Dream Kiriha X Sasara with School Swimsuit Maid & He is My Master Maid set
It's been another intense camera action day as I have a lot on my agenda. The first order of business is to have two of my lovely daughters to try out the two of the most adorable maid dress set from Kyoto 7, Sasara School Swimsuit Maid and He is My Master Maid Dress set. There is no argument for who should wear the School Swimsuit Maid, but there was room for debate for the He is My Master Dress set, I finally decided to have Kiriha model for us, why Kiriha? Because she is my most pampered daughter! There will be some hints of yuri action here and there in this photo session, as I finally come to term to fulfill the promise I made way back to take some yuri photos for my daughters XD. Please enjoy~
Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering Sixteen Daughters Version
A few days ago, I welcomed my Sixteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter DD娃娃 人偶 Matou Sakura to my family; and I had Saber, Rin and Ecchi Lion came out to gave Sakura a warm welcome; but that was not all that I had in mind! The number sixteenth daughter also mark the completion of a Platoon!! Since such a significant milestone cannot be ignored or overlooked.... so I have decided to summon all of my daughters together for a full family portrait (it's been a while since I did the last family photo)! This special event is also know as Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering, DDDGGG for short!
Dollfie Dream Airi ~ Infernal Tempter ~ Photo Shoot
It's been a few days since Airi arrived at my residence, and I have to admit that I have grown to like her more and more as each day gone by. So it's natural that I put together a photo shoot for her with a proper background~ I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do :)
Feena’s normal end,Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
It's been almost two weeks since I started this Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel marathon run project which includes the original Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel (2005) August soft, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Brighter than dawning blue- (2009) Aria soft and Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Moonlight Cradle- (2009) August soft, it's a massive undertaking that I have never attempted before. But after over a week worth of effort, I am finally getting close to the midway point. This project really started when I redecorated my room with three Feena fam Earthlight Dakimakuras and one bath towel, then all of a sudden I wondered about how much do I really know about her.
Whoa Sailor Saturn figure. Where did you get that? It’s pretty good.
I don’t clean my figures since I always put them in their boxes, but if I do I hear that the those CD cleaners are pretty good for it. If not cotton buds with water will do.
Thanks for stopping by! Ah, the Sailor Saturn Musical, one of my most precious hand painted figures was acquired nearly 7 years ago through http://www.hobbyfan.com I don’t think they have made more since then, but if there are enough people ordering, they might just do that.
She is the first hand painted figure I have acquired and is very special. I might make a gallery for her in flickr someday.
You know, I always thought of doing the exactly same thing with my bookshelves…I have some figures that has dust in them. Hope to do this but I am not sure how to clean the figures without damaging them. You should write a post about that.
OMG, another real visitor who leaves a comment!! Thank you so much for stopping by
Thanks for your suggestion, I shall work on just that. I have a day time job as an Engineer and I moonlight as an Otaku at night so I only have a few hours to work on this site, but please come again!
I have been using this 3M film for a long time, works great to protect poster and anything you want to stick on the wall. This application is the result of an FMEA on my figure collection.
The effect is I got dust on the figures.
The failure mode is air circulation.
The cause is there is dust in the air.
And the preventative measure is to minimize air circulation to the figures and therefore, minimize dust accumulation on the figure themselves.
There is no way to truly prevent dust from building up, unless I can manage to create a true vacuum inside the bookshelves or live inside a clean room where there is no dust!
Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. I just read that you ordered from the ebay seller cmb-tradeltd. I was going to reply to you on dc.com, but I think letting you know here will be more direct. Ask the seller how he’s going to package you Alice for shipping because he shipped mine with envelope paper + bubble wrap. The box arrived crushed on 2 sides, 5 corners dented, and Alice’s tail broken. I’m in the midst of dealing with him in this regards.
Oh, sorry to double post. I clean my figures and shelves with a brush every Sunday. It takes time, but they look great in the open ^^
Well, I have a wide selection of figures, some of them are painted resin with very delicate parts that are better left untouched. I actually broke DOA Kasumi’s hair once with a brush ;x The pictures might not do justice for them, but the windows sealing film doesn’t make them look bad ;x It’s fairly transparent.
ouch on the broken tail! Oh, thank you for stopping by! I just sent the sell this message “Please make sure adequate packaging material is being used to keep the figure from shipping damage. A friend of mine just told me he received a figure from you with a broken tail. This is very important. A stronger box with more packaging bubbles is strongly advised.” I am one step short of threatening him about bad mouthing him in DC.com lol
