My dolls now have a good conscience to sit along side Demona, their bad conscience. Oriah is a novice cherub. The Furious Five are her first assignment. Yeah, she's a "goody Two-Shoes" but she knows how to have a good time.

This is the smallest doll in my collection...an 11cm Obitsu. They are about the same size as a much more expensive "Pukipuki" resin doll, but way cheaper and way more bendable, poseable and flexible. Obitsu has been doing these kind of dolls a long l...

I don't think Obitsu dolls get enough love. Seriously. They are beautiful, they are poseable, they are near-infinitely customizable, and they, like Dollfie Dreams, will hold their pose for days. They have magnets in their feet, which helps them stay...

The family are celebrating after three graduations: Yumiko, Mitzi and Z. Since Mitzi is now officially a nurse, she got Yumiko's nurse cosplay (which she never got around to wearing) as a gift. I must say, she wears it well, and Sarge appreciates it...

I know, another one-picture quickie, but please bear with me. Commencement is next week and I'm getting busy. I might even get in on a project that will be my first test of editing prowess. So I just want to share this picture...yes, my apartment is...

The CGI animated OAV "Cat S**t One" has been quite a little phenomenon. The original manga managed to make it across the Pacific thanks to the now deceased company ADV, with the name changed to Apocalypse Meow. The story was about two US GIs, Perkins...

Namiko got another package from her dad "Junior" Yamamoto this weekend, just in time for Hina Matsuri. It was a very special set just for her: Emperor, Empress and a whole set of accouterments in a beautiful ebony-stained wood and glass dust case. Th...

The best little con in Los Angeles happened last weekend. It confirmed everything I love about A-LA: friendly people, well run, made of awesome. Here are a few pix from the con. If you want to see the whole set, it's here: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Wishing everyone Akemash'te Omedetou Gozaiimasu...Danny, your family, and everyone who posts here from Japan. I think Yumiko wants to do Hatsumode tomorrow. We're both Year of the Rabbit...she's Year of the Rabbit according to her back story, and I a...

Remember her? Well, she's not been fussed over in a while and needs a bit of love. Mitzi and Sarge are a pair-up, that's at least some measure of contentment for Mitzi-chan. However, she needs some "parental" attention too. Upon seeing Tron: Legacy,...

My first step into a wider world...I think... No, it is not a DSLR, but it's close. My photos should go up in quality now, and this thing does 1080p video too!!! w00t!!!

Yesterday there was a little commotion at the apartment where Namiko and her grandpa Nobu Yamamoto live in Van Nuys. A parcel showed up on their doorstep. It had come from Japan, from the Yamamoto ancestral home of Osaka. The package was addressed to...

When you are an aspiring show biz person, you often have to "do a scene" to get an audition for a part in a movie or a play or whatever. Yumiko's college was doing a production of "Cabaret" and so she had Z videotape her doing a scene as an audition....

I just did some shots comparing three dolls: Yumiko Natsume, my first large-scale doll, and my first Dollfie Dream; Mitzi Chun, an "accidental" addition to my family when I was looking to get an Obitsu as raw material for evil doll hacking experimen...

Sgt. Rachael B. Swanigan, US Army (Ret.) came home from Iraq with two legs that didn't work anymore and a Purple Heart. She is now where she wanted to be before she served her hitch: in College. But she's not in one piece, and still can see the event...

These two slightly macabre photos are to show everyone that the Dollfie Dream v.1 body arrived one day earlier than expected. The wheelchair is from My Twinn, a company that makes 24" (60.96cm) custom child dolls meant to look like the little girls t...

OK, hoping that 6:50pm PDT 9/30/2010 is not too late for this. I live in LA and my dolls, in spite of their Japanese origins, have become "so LA." I have been taking pictures of Yumiko Natsume and Z. Yamamoto for about a year now. Namiko Yamamoto and...

Hi guys, just a quickie to let you know that Otaku no Podcast dropped yesterday evening. Our 14th episode is all about dolls...Dollfie Dream, Obitsu, Super Dollfies, Asian Ball Joint Dolls, and even a little brief amount of bits about Blythe, Pullip,...

Actually this is a group I started on Flickr for people to post doll macros. It's gotta be clean...mild risqueness is fine but not out-and-out Ecchi. Doll FAIL is welcome there too, but again, please understand that I've got the filter setting to "Sa...

I know that there are references to plot points in the story that nobody but me knows about yet. However, I wanted to do a beach/swimwear shoot so just enjoy the pretty pictures and the two sexy vinyl chicks in bikinis. This was shot on Carpinteria...

Yesterday I went to American Girl Place in The Grove, an outdoor mall right next to the venerable Farmer's Market and CBS' Television City facilities in Los Angeles. While AG clothes would not fit a Dollfie Dream or an Obitsu without major alteration...

Here's my big doll family as they stand right now. Sorry I don't have more photos Photoshopped but I wanted to show them off as soon as possible. This is not my couch...someone brought a Volks sofa to the doll meet and the dolls just glommed onto it....

Mitzi Chun now has more punky clothes, and wanted to show them off. The Vegan Leather jacket was mugged from a Bride Of Chucky doll, and the Vegan Leather pants originally were Z's. They aren't Z's anymore. ^_~ Photos taken at Plaza del Valle in Pano...

I finally got Mitzi's permanent wig. I know a lot of you liked the purple but I'm not sure whether the wig can be saved. It's badly thrashed in the back. Besides, purple and black streaks look right to me. She reminds me a little of Tohya Miho from...
