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...

After much deliberation, I've decided to part with one of my lenses. Up for sale is a Tokina AT-X 235 AF Pro lens for the Nikon mount. This will work on all current Nikon cameras, but will only autofocus on specific models that have the focus motor b...

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!

Since I was starting to tire of the look of the corner desk, I decided to do some upgrades and get myself a new frosted glass desk from IKEA. Lighting underneath is provided by a set of DIODER LED strips. Photos were shot with a Tokina 12-24 F4.0 wid...

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,...

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...

After a long wait, Sakura finally arrived on my doorstep today! Since it wasn't time for school yet, she decided to don her casual outfit (which arrived several months ago from the Volks International lottery). Welcome home, Sakura-chan!
