LoveLily and I just got back from a vacation at Atlantic Beach, NC. Yoko was lucky enough to have a swimsuit, so she came with us! She really does know how to relax and have fun!

As a recent Fate/Extra fan, I found the prospect of a Caster figure very appealing. Fortunately I was able to secure the preorder and she arrived on my doorstep yesterday. Caster GET-desu! :) Photos shot with a Nikon D7000 using a 50mm Nikkor 50mm 1....

After much deliberation, I made the decision to hunt down a third monitor to match the existing two. Hours of searching later, I finally found one on eBay. Setting it up took much more work than I expected though. In addition to having to move the ex...

This weekend, I decided to deviate from my normal photography tools and reached for something a bit more classic. Instead of my Nikon D7000, I grabbed a Canon AE-1 and roll of Kodak MAX 400 film! Here's a sample of what came out! All of these were sc...

The new doll display area opened up some great ways to pose and arrange the girls. Here's the latest on what they're all up to!

I've done a fair bit of rearranging in my room lately. The most recent project has been to come up with a better way of displaying the girls. With the household growing to 11 total dolls (9 DDs. 1 1/6 Azone, and an MSD), they had quickly outgrown the...

Reimu decided to pick up the headphones today and I decided to pick up the camera. I wonder what she's listening to? Bad Apple, perhaps?

I had a surprise on my doorstep the other day. Apparently Reimu decided to join my household! With the temperature dropping and the leaves changing color, she decided to go out today to look for Autumn. From the looks of it, she tracked down some bea...

Hi everyone! In an effort to make room for newer acquisitions, I'm posting some of my manga collection up for sale. Everything is in good to excellent condition (a few volumes haven't even been read because I accidentally bough an extra) and many are...

Last week LoveLily and I made a trip up to Niagara Falls, NY for some sightseeing and relaxation. But what trip to a beautiful landmark would be complete without bringing dolls along? Here are some of the shots I managed to take using the falls as a...

Over the past few weeks, there have been a couple changes in my family. First off, a package containing goodies from Dollmore arrived, with many new outfits for the girls. Then, a package with a second hand SQ Lab head arrived. Finally, a trip to an...

Last weekend, a couple of us hit up Animazement in Raleigh, NC. There was some nice cosplay to be seen and even nicer Dollfie action. ^.^ Danny, you really should come to the East coast. Look at what you're missing! I apologize for the lack of sharpn...

I finally got around to getting some more of the neck joints from Cool Cats. They're a great alternative to those sold by Dollfie World (which are not always in stock) and still offer great mobility compared to the default joint from Volks!

In an effort to reduce some clutter, I've decided to let go of some manga laying around the house. Prices are $5 a volume and shipping is free if you buy more than $50. Otherwise, shipping is my cost. Bleach 2, 5-16, 27, 28 Death Note 2 Because I'm t...

With the onset of warmer weather in the South Eastern United States, it was time for Lily to make her public debut at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden! These were taken on a Nikon D7000 with Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24 wide angle lens. For many shots, a trip...

Once again, it is time for the Holy Grail War. Rin prepares an incantation to summon her new servant to fight the epic battles she'd only dreamed about!

Last week, I let it slip to my girl friend that I already had her birthday present in the closet at home. Her birthday isn't for a couple months, but here is her reaction to what was in the box. :)

I picked up some stamp cards at Volks on my recent trip to Japan. Is anyone going to be there in December (and going to DollPa, presumably) that can redeem them for me? Please let me know if you can help! Thanks! Or if someone can read what it says o...

Figured I'd do a quick snapshot of the tower of loot before I started cracking things open. Here's all the figures and Dollfie stuff I bought in Japan. The biggest surprise was cost, the whole pile cost around US$1500! :D

Currently visiting Tokyo and doing a bunch of shopping due to all the rain! I spent two days in Akihabara and one in Nakano so far, and will probably go to Akiba at least once more while I'm here... What did I get? A couple Dollfie outfits, some CDs,...

Doing a bit more cleaning around the house and have the following for sale. DVDs are all R1 and games are for US-NTSC XBox. For more info, email me at asian[dot]ed[at]gmail[dot]com. Prices do not include shipping. DVD and Blu-Rays Moeyo Ken OVA - $5...

Happy Labor Day to all those in the US! Today we celebrate... um... labor! Last Saturday, I packed up Rin and Sakura to go to a doll meet at The Doll Market in Greensboro, NC. I met up with balldylox and DeadlyGambit and had a great time taking pictu...

It's almost back to school time here in the US (some schools have already started)! Fortunately, Rin's academy outfit just arrived so she and Sakura can be off to school!

After about a month worth of sourcing parts and pieces, I've finally completely my first custom Dollfie. She's based on Amami Haruka from the IdolM@ster series of games. It all started with finding the outfit, which led to buying the body and head, c...
