The month long Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na (PC2005), Brighter than dawning blue (PS2->PC 2009) and Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na ~Moonlight Cradle~(PC2009) visual novel marathon plus the odds and ends of summarizing Feena normal end, Natsuki and Estel storyline has finally come to an end.
I am happy that I dug deep and stuck with it, and I enjoyed the time I spent summarizing their stories; it really gave me a reason to try to understand their stories a lot more than I usually would have. I have yet to finish Feena’s true arc summary, something I intend to do in the near future. I have accomplished my goal of bringing the stories of these wonderful heroines to light, that’s one down on my to do list.
Now I should present my treasures of the month… this month will be crazy, yea I said it. Three boxes are up for inspection, the hobby search box has arrived a few days ago but I have put off the inspection until I finished Moonlight Cradle, plus the package yesterday that I picked up at the post office today and the package that arrived today.
See that long thin box? Yea, that’s where my adopted daughter is, let’s take a closer look before I open it.
Tenchi Muyo, now that’s funny. I don’t usually pay that much attention to the labeling but this one caught my attention obviously.
Three different fragile labels, luckily the box arrived undamaged!
And the real treasure is…
The most expensive otaku good I have ever purchased…. all thanks to Dannychoo.com for the continuous temptation… ok, it’s really just me who couldn’t stand the temptation 
With this, I have finally redeemed myself for my lack of follow through in my initial search for Dollfie Escalayer. This blunder has costed me about an extra $200, but this blunder has also opened up a new possibility for me, to get myself familiar with Yahoo Japan Auction.
The full view of the loots
Now, with all the Feena spam I have been making for the past month, it’s not surprising that there are some Feena goods arriving. I am not so sure about using the decal on a Subaru Legacy, I am going to think of a way to put her on a different car… Both Ita car models are made by Fujimi 1/24 scale. The dollfie obviously came from Yahoo Japan Auction, I have selected Goody Japan for this particular transaction, I will summarize the cost and my experience with the store in a later post. The upper left corner we have Yami that arrived a few days ago. The lower left corner, we have two perfect visual books from August Soft visual novel that I purchased from Amazon Japan, the transaction also gone through Goody Japan.
Same packaging scheme as Amazon USA, not surprised really.
A full view.
I am somewhat surprised to see the inclusion of Moonlight Cradle chapter into the Yoake visual book, I don’t remember seeing that in the description when I ordered, but hey, I am not complaining! Since I have already decided that I will tackle Fortune Arterial in the near future, might as well pick up the book now.
And Yami from GSC
The main attraction for this shipment is obviously my newly adopted daughter, let’s go back to her.
Edit: Adding pictures of my daughter
Signature pose for Beat Angel Escalayer
This month is the month dominated by dollfie news, I have put in my lottery ticket for both Rin and Fate, plus an extra set of clothes for both of them. We will see how it turns out! I am going start putting Escalayer together now, will follow up with some pictures once I pick up my macro filter on Friday night. A few more packages are deal to arrive in a bit, I have just received confirmation that Raqel Gothic has been shipped out (an impulse buy after reading the review in Exelica Meteor, she is just way too cute to pass up!), 1/5 Freeing Kenshin Uesugi and 1/8 Alter Senhime.
I am preparing myself to go to Anime Central this coming Friday and Saturday, let’s see what else could I pick up there!
As a note to those who come visit, I present to you my statement of intent.
To me, adopting a dollfie represent a commitment to work harder than I have been in the past few years. I have been slacking a lot at work and have not taking things as seriously as I used to in the dot.com boom/bust era. Ever since I put in the order for DD Escalayer, I have seen myself picked up in both concentration and attitude towards work.
Things I have almost forgotten in the passing of time, now I am back to my starting point. Otaku spending drives my motivation towards excellent. So the only way for me to evolve is to keep spending money, the otaku way.

Really great loot. Will look forward to your Dollfie review(s). Hope you get to buy those Fate and Rin. Just wondering how much you paid for her in total? You’ll be covering that in a follow-up post?
Thanks ^^;
Yes, I plan to discuss my experience with Goody Japan in a separate post with the commission and total cost soon. We’ll see, now that I have Escalayer, it’s not as big of a deal for me to get Rin and Fate now; but we shall see.
Beautiful Dollfie!!! How much did she cost in the end? Good luck with the lottery for the other dollfie’s. I’ll be going to ACEN too. I’ll be mostly exploring the vedors. I’ll be there Friday afternoon (I have some things to do in the mourning unfortunatley) and Saturday for sure. You can check my flikr account thru danny choo to see what I look like. And see my Daki-room. lol See ya there
I will most likely be using a Manchester United backpack, chinese, glasses, about 5’10″, about 250lbf :3
Most of the time I would be lurking in the Dealer room.
U walked on a path where it’s a journey of no return. Considering it’s a journey ur prepared and thought about finanically, I guess it’s a good one.
Dollfie is a level up in otakuism but not many ppl have have the cash to support that.
Great loot. Looking forward to ur upcoming Dollfie reviews. ^^
For the past few years I think I have lost my way a little bit, my level of professionalism has gone down a tad due to the influence of FFXI from the period of 2004-2006. It wasn’t necessarily bad, I think that period gave me a good chance to save up some money and paid off all the debt that I have accumulated over the years. Now, I am ready once again, but only better prepared. I have thought about it, the true origin of my professionalism is otakuism. With the levelup of the otakuism can lead to the same effect of professionalism, I can already feel it for the past 2 weeks that I have spent waiting for the dollfie to arrive. Good or bad, I will find out when it’s all over.
Congratulations on your first dollfie purchase, I have yet to get one. Too expensive, for one thing, and the one I want is no longer on sale, since she was an event exclusive way back in 2005.
Thanks Panther
DD Escalayer was a comiket and dolpa lottery exclusive too, which one was it that you wanted? You never know what you could find in Yahoo Japan Auction
Yeah I checked a few times, but the dollfie is just too old. An event exclusive from 2005 lol.
Wow. That’s some awesome loot. I’ve been curious about that Feena car before, never bought a model car before. Never shopped at Goody Japan. Congrats on your first dollfie, I’m a bit jealous
. No I think it’s great that you got one and as motivation to work harder as well. I could have bought one with tax returns but I opted for other stuff instead this year because the dollfie’s my wife wanted the most were through lottery and we missed them by the time we had the money. I’m afraid to see what they’d cost on yahoo Japan, not to mention the extra costs to get it here. One day, my wife and I will buy a dollfie, I think.
Thanks Persocom
I will open it for detail inspection in the near future.
Being one of the Feena fan boy, it’s not surprising that I had to pick up her Ita car
As far as Goody Japan goes, I am going to summarize my experience and cost associated with the transactions, Yahoo Japan Auction, Amazon Japan in a separate post in the next day or two. Which dollfie is the one your wife wanted?
I know I am weird, but there is a good reason why I am still single
But it’s true that my motivation to work originate from the need for otaku spending. If I don’t need to spend money (like when I was actively playing FFXI), my motivation went down a few notches. Now, I am just bringing it back up to par.
Not just any dollfie, but DDD Escalayer is very special for me and I am very happy with the purchase as she just looks gorgeous, her facial expression is just like the way she is in game.
1. One of my favorite Eroge game heroines since 2002, and Escalayer is still one of my top 5 girls of all time, she is getting ready to knock “Big Mama” Asuka out of her queen’s chair.
2. Dollfie Dream Dynamite Body for the full oppai experience.
3. One of the first unique face mold with an open mouth smiley face and she actually look like the original character.
4. Her wig is already preconditioned to look exactly like the way she is in game, not every wig looks as close to original character as they should.
5. My redemption of my previous blunder of not following through with my initial search, I can’t go on without correcting my blunder, at a cost of $200.
6. She is also fully clothed in such a way the no joints are visible, except for her knees, but it’s understandable. I am still not a very big fan of the joints.
Not every dollfie can fulfill the all of the above criteria, well the oppai isn’t absolutely necessary.
Wow you are truly one of most commited guys i know.Its great to see that your spending drives you to bigger heights in your job.Its all about the motivation eh?
Im not a big Dollfie fan since puppets kinda creep me out.Im glad that you finally got your dream dollfie though
Hahaha, I actually pulled off a greater effort recently than I thought I could, I have lost my edge a little bit over the years. I think writing the heroine story summary has helped me a bit here and there about determination too. Yea I am feeling about the job situation, I have pushed for new heights and greater drive for success so this whole thing has turn out to be a huge success for me.
lol I won’t try to convince you about how cute my daughter is, when she make the Escalayer signature pose is just too cute <3
After the convention is over, I will have to do a photo shoot between her and Big Mama Asuka and determine who is the true queen of the figurines in my house.
Escalayer is awesome. I want a Dollfie but while the will is strong, the bank account is so weak. However, it seems like Volks works with Alicesoft a lot, and I’m going to have to reshuffle my spending priorities if they put out a Haruka or Senhime doll.
This hobby is great; it motivates you to work harder, it makes you happy, and it helps to bring balance to the world economy, there’s nothing not to like about it.
For the many reasons I stated above, DDD Escalayer is just perfect for me as the my first musume. I have just gotten my hands on a macro filter, I should start snapping pictures of her in a few days time + a chance for me to show off my entire collection of Escalayer goodies :3
It’s a bit strange that they decided to release DD Escalayer now since the game is so old, may be they are just getting started with Alicesoft release :3 If anything, it would be Uesugi Kenshin next since she is one of the more popular Alicesoft gal, though there is a chance for Haruka and Senhime as well.
Hmm wow, where to begin… Adoption of Dollfie is definitely a big step. A step I will not be taking for a while, if ever. I congratulate you on your new musume and your statement!
During the time I was exiled in the World of Warcraft, I still kept spending on otaku merchandise, even though I didn’t spend my time with them. It’s very sad. Now I’m trying to catch up, but the world of blogging has become a new exile where I can’t spend too much time on my stuff. Not only have I accumulated stuff, but also debt. And that’s the scary part. I’m running out of room, out of money and yet I keep buying >_< Which is why I’ve vowed not to get a Dollfie until everything is cleared up. Right now, I’ll just have to spend my time with my baby, the 3 month old Mitsubishi Lancer that I will turn into an itasha someday XD
Adopting a dollfie is indeed a huge jump but unlike most dollfie owner, I am not hugely into customization; I cannot envision Escalayer to be in any outfit other than what she comes with. To me a Dollfie is really just like a large size high quality figma that can occasionally make some naughty poses for me to take pictures XD. I am also a very focus type of otaku and like to concentrate on a few super bishoujo (like my top 5 girls). I am setting in motion some plans to adopt other dollfie within my top 5 girls list.
Blogging has been a positive effect for me so far, I have been a lone wolf otaku for many many years, none of my real life friends are anywhere close to be an otaku. I have had a very difficult time to find people who share my interest and could understand why I do things the way I do. But even within the otaku culture, I think I am considered to be fairly eccentric. I am hoping that by writing this blog I can reach out to more otaku who can understand me so I can have more people to discuss otaku stuff with like should I get this figure or what not XD.
I was somewhat fortunate that during my exile to FFXI, I stopped spending money all together; that’s part of the reason why I only notice Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na recently.
Ahh a Lancer huh, that’s good, gogo Itasha Lancer.
Ironically it was a fellow WoW player that really turned me back into an anime watching otaku. He managed to play WoW and watch 2 or 3 episodes per night, whereas I couldn’t. He’s the one who told me to go watch Haruhi even though I didn’t like episode 00 XD
We even spammed general chat with anime talk one day! So yeah, by that time I manage to slow down with WoW to catch up on a few anime.
