My recently completed DDOH-4 head. Hand painted by my. She was a real pleasure to work with, such an adorable and fun face, she really captured my imagination. There were so many things I wanted to do with her design and it was sooooo hard just to se...

Today I was desperate to go out and take photo’s because I used a new camera for these shots. I was determined to go out and play this weekend no matter what the weather. Although the images are far from perfect because of the lighting conditions and...

Not sure how many people check the Volks Japan Dollfie Dream blog, but I thought I'd share these for those who may have missed them. Also it provides a pretty nice insight into Moe and Natsuki's character types. Moe definatly seems more shy, niave an...

Anyone ever draw Caricatures of themselves in an anime/manga art style? I for one have and although I don't have any decent recent pictures of her scanned, heres some chibis and expression cards for fun. If you've ever drawn any caricatures, post or...

Today I finally got a spare torso with 2 perfect shoulder joints installed so I promptly reassembled Mini D and played. Good Smile were very fast to ship it, but it still felt like forever waiting. Pictures are a bit noisy, but I wanted to post anywa...

So, last year, the date is 5th November 2008. I placed an oreder for my Kito Nendoroid over at playasia.com and he was schedualed for a Feb 09 release. Now to this day, I still do NOT have Kaito. As of yet play asia have NEVER got their stock in. Eve...

Well since so many lovely girls already have introduced themselves, I thought I would too. Age:22 Sex: Female Blood type: A+ Hobbies/Interests: Asian style ball joint dolls and anime style dolls most importantly! Also anime figures, photography, my c...

Today, I took Mia out to play, to celebrate one of her Adorable new dresses. Isn’t it just the sweetest? The dress is a blythe dress but it fits ok. Its a tad big in the body, but I’ve pinned it in at the back and it looks fine. This dress is made b...

My little Mini D is different too, but she doesn't seem very pleased about it.

So today I got my drossel as I already posted, however there is a problem with her and I'm a little sad. Her right shoulder joint is broken before I even touched her. It looks like the part wasn't manufactured properly, as is the plastic mold wasn't...

Today I got my Drossel figma, with the fastest SAL shipping I have ever seen, thanks to Otacute! Of course I ripped her out straight away and wanted to play. But I guess these guys had other ideas. I don't normally do photo stories with my figmas, bu...

Just a few simple pics really, nothing high tech or special, just casual cute pics, wanted to try and get the look and feel of just taking quick random pictures of a friend while you’re hanging out with each other. If you like Amber there are even mo...

(Titled this 'Non otaku collections. I know the term otaku is a general term, not one limited specifically anime and games, but I wasn't sure what else to title it XD) We all know that people here collect a lot of Japanese stuff. It could be dolls, a...

Sometimes, you get a figure and it just really does not live up to expectations. When this happens, I find it to be a very sad thing, not just because I lost money on it, but because I hate seeing great characters represented poorly. Bad figures inde...

When I went out with Yunocchi the other day, Henrietta came with us too. I had quite a good shoot planned for her but my camera ate most of it’s battery on Yunocchi, so it ran out after just 2 shots of Henrietta. However, I had the [crazy] idea to c...

Yuno is an Azone Pure Neemo Advance. I brought her several months ago, but this is her first time at being photographed by me. Took her out to my fave place ever for some photos and fun (took someone else out too, but those are photo's for another da...
