Home Town Dollpa Osaka 6 - late report

Posted by milkypink [www] 

So, I attended Volks' Home Town Dollpa in Osaka on Aug 1st. Basically? It was amazing. I didn't take pictures of EVERYTHING (although most booths were quite nice and let me take photos of their displays (I don't think I've ever said "may I take a photo?" so many times in my life), I only encountered one situation where I wasn't allowed) but I still have a huge batch to share with you all :D
ボクスのホームタウンドルパ大阪6に行きました。つまり?すごかったです~ゼンブで写真とらなかったけど、(普通には人は優しくとらせて(っていうか、「写真とってもいいですか」って言ったことばっかりかもしれません)、ひとつだけだめでした)みんなに見せる写真がいっぱい、いっぱいありますよぉ ^^

(Edit: I've since made a more comprehensive post on my blog so please check it out for more photos & commentary!)

Here we have the Pure White girls. Miu's face still looks chubby, no matter how I see it :/ Sakuno was still ridiculously adorable in person, though~

What would summer be without girls in bikinis? I'm so used to the DDdy body for bikini shots that Rin and Saber look super toned o.o;

Cutie~ I'm only vaguely familiar with this mold - is she Sakura or something?

Mari's pretty cute, I won't say otherwise, but she's not my favorite.

Alternate clothing for Sakuno & Miu. Not terribly flattering for Miu, but Sakuno's outfit keeps reminding me of Kanon... it's probably the check pattern that reminds me of a certain blanket that someone kept with them all the time...

Pannya is the most adorable thing EVER. It might be hard to tell, but this was a GIANT Pannya. I waaaaaaaaant!

The Yo-SDs. Like the panda-boy (Papi?) better than the girl.

Two things there were no shortage of at the Dollpa: Japanese traditional clothing (yukata, kimono, etc) and giant frilly dresses.

This little girl had some serious attitude! (Unfortunately this was one of the occasions where my hand was a bit unsteady -_- )

Lots of dealers had setups similar to this, where they had a big background for the girls to stand in front of. Smart.

Looks like I hit the limit for uploaded images in one post, so I may make a second, but until then (or if I don't), feel free to check out my flickr which is full of even more Dollpa images!

Edit: I've now posted a more comprehensive report on my blog so please check it out if you want to see more!
