Those of you who have been following my twitter stream and or flickr stream, you might have already seen bits and pieces of my newly arrived Dollfie Dream DD Airy chan for the past week or so (since I am rather busy with playing the latest Alicesoft game Daiteikoku and have to flip back and forth between taking care of Airy chan and playing the game, which I plan to write about in the coming week), but it’s finally time to properly introduce my youngest Dollfie Dream daughter! After spending about a week with Airy chan, I am happy to report that Airy chan has exceeded my original expectation of her! However, I will have to be honest here that I did have some doubt about Airy before she arrived. Part of the reasons, which most of us are already familiar with, has to do with Volks’ inability to properly photograph their own Dollfie Dream; the other half, which is another well publicized discussion, has to do with whether Airy’s original animetic eyes is truly suitable for her. While I rarely do anything to change the default look of my Dollfie Dream girls, but I feel that this is the right time to buckle the trend! Here we have DD Saber Lily to welcome her youngest sister 
若果你有在跟隨我的推特Twitter或者Flickr的話, 你大概在過去一星期已經看到我的新娃女DD Airy的照片了 (因為我在忙着玩糟糕PC遊戲了), 但是現在正是好時機來正式為Airy介紹一下。 經過一個多星期之時間, 我可以說Airy的表現已經超出我的想像了! 但是話說起來, 在Airy到步前我也有點擔心的。 第一, 便是V社的官圖一直也很爛, 第二便是究竟Airy的眼是否適合她呢? 雖然我絕少改變我家娃女的原狀, 但是這次我也要破例了! 而DD Saber Lily也在歡迎新到步的Airy了。
Since I can imagine a lot of you would like to see Airy in a different set of animetic eyes, I am going to start this off by going through the procedure of removing the animetic eyes.
我想大家也想看換眼之後的Airy吧, 所以一開始便為Airy準備換眼手術了~
The new soft headcap really made it easy to pop it open!
新的軟頭蓋真好!
Talk about an extremely smooth procedure…. I managed to remove Airy’s eyes in one continuous motion with all the hot glue still intact! Talk about being extremely efficient!
這次的換眼手術十分成功, 一下子便把眼晴全推出來了!
Here is the inside look of Airy’s head, not a trace of hot glue left inside!
這便是Airy的頭內, 沒有一點熱溶膠呢!
I don’t have any fancy eye putty, all I have is some blue paper tak and they work just fine.
而我也準備了藍色寶貼用來固定眼睛.
But before I actually change her eyes out, I just had to take a few photos in her default state for a fair comparison!
在換眼之前先拍下照片吧!
After spending a few days with her default eyes, I concluded that it wasn’t as bad as it was rumored out to be… although, there is definitely room for improvement. While I understand the intention for making Airy’s eyes the way they are, the execution is not as good as it should be.
經過幾天之後, 我覺得Airy的眼也不是那麼差, 雖然我明白V社的本意, 但是他們做不出該有的較果。
And if you can look pass the slightly weird animetic eyes… Airy chan actually has a very cute face, similar to that of Nia.
如果你能避開不注意那對眼睛, 其實Airy的面形是很好的, 和Nia有幾分相似。
And by the way, there was an internet meme when Airy’s photo was first released that suggested she shares a striking similarity to Kyubey from the recent hit series Puella Magi Madoka Magica… what do you all think?
在Airy的官照公開時, 有人說Airy和丘比有幾分相似, 大家認為如何呢?
Airy: Please sign a contract with me? wwww
Airy: 大家要和我簽約嗎? (笑
All jokes asides, it’s time to change out Airy’s eyes for something else to prove my earlier point …. and of course the plan is to stick with blue eyes…
開完玩笑, 是時候替Airy換眼了, 最好便是換籃色的眼睛吧
And boy, did the eye change made a huge difference or what! I think Airy chan is very under appreciated right now due to her default eyes being somewhat weird, but this really should settle the score here. There is no doubt in my mind that Airy has a very nice face sculpt! (Brownie point if you can figure out whose eyes did I change Airy into!)
換了眼之後的Airy漂亮很多啊! 我覺得有很多人也看不起Airy因為她的眼不太合適, 但是這些圖片應該証明了Airy的美貌吧?
Those of you who are interest in adopting Airy chan, there is still a chance to enter the Dolpa 25 After Event Lottery!
P.S. Before I forget, Cool-Cat Collection was kind enough to send me samples of their newly released animetic eyes to try out;
後記: 正好 Cool-Cat Collection 剛寄了一對DD用眼睛的樣本來。
and since Airy was already prepped, she got to try out the Cool-Cat eyes first!
正好讓Airy試一下
Here is a close up
What do you all think huh? I personally think they are quite good and I like the styling very much!
你們覺得如何呢? 我倒覺得這個眼睛的設計很不錯呢!
Airy is looking so sweet now that I am so glad to have taken her home with me ;3
Airy的樣子看來真的很有愛啊, 真的很高興我接了她回來呢

Wow! The difference with those other animetic eyes is just staggering. She does look a lot better in them and it makes her head sculpt look much more appealing.
Am a big fan of Tony Taka and his signature eye style but somehow Volks failed at translating his eye art style convincingly into proper animetic eyes. (Though it must be possible, recall seeing a Tony Taka styled custom head once on auction with terrific eyes.)
You better believe it! Because Airy chan is a winner in my opinion, more so than Neris I dare to say. The neko smile is rather subtle if you look closely and it’s about the same as Nia and Rin.
Yes I understand the intention of trying to mimic Tony Taka’s drawing style but I think it would have worked a lot better if they go with Sasara’s style.
Airy is a winner more so than Neris in your opinion… well, that slightly makes me regret getting Neris over Airy. ^^;
Your pics do her justice! I loved her cute smile, but she looks even better now with new eyes. Very sweet looking girl. Congrats! And can’t wait to see your Neris! ^_^
This is what I do after all! Bring out the true potential of my DD girls!
Wow, she looks so better with these eyes! She really looks to be looking at something now!
I’ve never seen the procedure of changing eyes, so I an grateful that you posted this!
But I an curious… how did you removed it?
Well it’s relatively easy to do… Aquilla’s blog has detail instruction on eye removal…. but the link is not working right now for some reason..
Wow, she looks surprisingly good after her eye surgery. Makes her look more innocent and sweet which is perfect for her job which I think is a sister?
I might be over-saying it and no offense to Airy-chan but the default eyes looked like that of a dead fish^^;
I am rather surprised myself, I am loving Airy’s new look for sure, so much sweeter and sincere! Yeah, I am inclined to agree with ya that the default eyes are not doing enough justice to her face sculpt, it’s distracting and took the attention away from her cute face.
Wow, I just love seeing more photos of girls when they get home to their owners.
Airy is sure cute and I also agree the eye change was very cool, it works out great.
I have more reservation about Airy at first but once I have a good look at her after the eye change, my valuation of her have increased 2X at least! She look so sweet with the eye change!
she looks great but am I the only one who likes the default eyes? I think they are really pretty, I haven’t seen it in person so maybe it’s different… Either way, she looks great in the new blue eyes and I wish i could afford another girl, it woulda been Airy!
I try to be as un-bias as possible but it’s difficult to ignore the fact that the default eyes are kind of distracting. I seldom change the default look of my girls but this is the right opportunity for me to do it and I have to say I am quite pleased with her new look. I have got more eyes on order and my goal is to get her back on a pair of blue eyes or green eyes :3 Airy is absolutely lovely, I think a lot of ppl are overlooking her true beauty because of the aforementioned distraction! Airy is a true gem, I am very happy to have her!
The thing I notice about Airy in your photos is that her dress is really short! Her shima pantsu is all over this collection of pics.
SHE LOOKS GREAT! I love her with those blue eyes, I have to admit I wasn’t 100% sold on her stock eyes and was very curious to see what her new parents would do with her. I’d love to see Neris in different eyes as well! Because originally Neris was my favorite but currently I’d say I prefer Airy with different eyes over Neris with her stock eyes.
She is looking far far better for sure after the eye change! I think Airy’s stock eyes is more of a distraction than anything else, it took our attention away from her cute face! I think Neris’ lack of unique expression is going count against her since I have already ton of cute daughters with that “gentle smile” expression. However, it’s not over yet until I get her in front of my glass~!
Love her face ^_^
Her mouth is so cute. Prefer the brown eyes.
Loving the pantsu too
I like how she looks with different eyes, the default ones are nice, but makes her look rather weird, it really made me look more at Neris because of that. I think I would have changed the eyes too, on both Neris and airy if I had them^^ good thinking!
I have to say I don’t know whether to thank you for showing me how awesome Airy is with new eyes or to hate you, because now I have a desire to buy her seeing how good she can look…my wallet may be the one who hates you, lol.
I already have three dollfies and seeing this has pretty much cemented me into getting Airy as another one. I have two S busts and an L bust so she’ll fit in perfectly to balance things out, lol – I’m sure Mashiro, Yui and Sakuno will welcome her and thank you for convincing me to get them a new sister
You aren’t the first one to blame me for their Airy chan addiction and by this time I am quite used to it already
The fact that Airy chan has true quality was evident to me when I changed her eyes out. I rarely appreciate a DD face without eyes but Airy’s face really struck me as beautiful 
You won’t be disappointed with Airy chan, and I am sure your other girls would welcome her.
Airy looks great whether with the default or cool cat eyes,since her overall charm still remains.Of course,your camera skills also contribute to her beauty.
I make every effort I can to make sure my girls look their absolute best, and of course I am still only scratching the surface here, still have a lot to learn~
Hi, I just want to caution you about using blue poster tack. They can stain something awful, so you may want to use the white poster tack instead. Great site btw, beautiful dolls!
I haven’t had much problem with the blue tack, but thanks for mentioning.
