First Daughter Adoption Post!
Fri 2011/01/07 04:28 JST
Finally, after long weeks sitting in the British Customs Office in Coventry, My First Daughter has arrived home safely!
Here are some photos of her getting used to her new home.
Thankfully Mandarake ship their packages pretty securely
Some well placed creases and reflections take the place of Wolfheinrich's Ecchi Lion
"Would you mind?"
"Ahh, now i can see you better!"
You know, they say life's a One Two Punch.
Shoryuken!
Honya!
"You call this place home...?"
The ever empowered Mari, fitting right in already...
Welcome Home :)
Spurred onwards, The Fabled Pose.
Congrats on your first daughter, Dizeh. ^^
Thanks! Shes more amazing than i expected :D
Congrats!!! Be careful not to break the glasses
Thanks! And i've been surprisingly lucky with them so far, shes faceplanted twice during photo shoots and they're still intact xD
an awesome adoption! Congrats!

Cheers man, might have to come calling to you when the inevitable fate of her glasses breaking happens :)
Awesome! Getting her to balance like that must have been tricky.
More so than i can explain in words, off screen is my hand desperately grasping her leg :P
Congrats! Mari is such a firey girl, I'm sure you'll have your hands full. XD Looking forward to seeing her further escapades in the future!
I've already bought her first birthday present in the form of a new outfit so there will be new photos soon for sure!
Oooh she's lovely! Congratulations, and welcome to the world I'm still saving up to be a part of... Hopefully soon I'LL be the one posting my first daughter pics!
Thank you! Its definately worth investing, the feeling of holding your daughter in the air for the first time is one of a kind. I eagerly await the announcement of your adoption ^^
Thank you! Yeah, as soon as my sister can pay me back my doll money I'll have her. ^_^
Congratulations!!! Very good pictures !^_^
Cool dollfie.
Can't wait to get my hands on one this year
BTW ............ Did british Customs catch you with the new imporved (LOL) vat rate or the old one. If so, how much?
So that I know what i need to prepare for.
Cheers! I think they got me with the new tax but Mandarake thankfully marked the price down so i didn't have to pay so much :)
Congrats!^^ Mari is so sweet!^^
Thanks!
She looks great. Looks like she's adapting well to her new surroundings. Congratulations on your adoption.
Thanks! Nothing makes me prouder than being a father :)
She's beautiful!!
Great stuff!
I met Mari earlier, she came round to visit Haruhi o_o
Much tomfoolery ensued!
Congrats!!!
I can't believe her glasses are safe, your lucky man^^
I know man! Can't believe they're safe! Unfortunately though in a cruel twist of fate, in putting the headband on i've slightly pulled some of her hair out of the ponytail :(
Congrats!! nice pictures! It took me a while to figure out how to put on the outfit on my Mari with the lining stuff thats supposed to prevent staining. When I finally got around to changing to another outfit, I found a small stain, on the bottom of her chest part so I guess I had a spot not covered.
Thanks! and darn that is fearful, i'm going to have to be so careful... Will see if i can swap her out for her Autumn outfit ^^
Same happen to me xD
congrats XD she really is a nice girl
Thanks!
Quite a lovely girl, congrats on your first daughter!
Thank you very much :)
Congrats on gett Mari, did you get it from volks website or was it from yahoo jp auction??
I got her from a Japanese Online store called Mandarake in the end. Unfortunately was too late to get her from the Volks actual website.
cute girl
Wow! congrats again on your first daughter XD
Thanks :D Shes already made a friend, think Strife_212 is going to upload the photos later!
Congrats~~~!!!!
Now you need new wig & outfits for her huhuhu~~
Last shot is very cool ~~ XD
Thanks! I've already got an outfit in stock, but i am expecting the boots to come with her stand at a later date :D
Welcome to fatherhood! :) Mari is a great daughter, she's so cool! I'm glad you finally got her home. And you and Mari doing "The Pose" was hilarious! You look so serious.... XD
Cheers man! Mari is amazing and it feels fresh to be her father :) I thought "serious face" was one of the requirements of doing the pose xD
I'm glad you two are getting along well! I know she can be a handful...
Yes, "serious face" is a requirement for "The Pose" and it seems my version failed at that. I have more Sleepy Face than serious. :P I'm glad you posted your Pose picture up tho, I am not alone in my silliness! ^_^
Hehe, i didn't have the brass-tacks to do it until i saw you beat me to it :P Don't think i can top the tri-pose you've got going on there though!
Am loving your Yoko btw, she was my other prime candidate for first daughter ^^
Ha! You'll find I'll do pretty much anything once. ^_^
The Tri Pose is indeed cool but I'm sure someone will top it in time.
Thank you very much about Yoko! I love her to bits... she's so much fun to have around. I got extremely lucky and found her in Osaka in a secondhand shop. She had some stains and was heavily discounted due to that. It seems Japanese DD collectors don't want ANY stains on their girls.
I bought her for 48000 yen complete and with her swimsuit. Everything included, even the paperwork. After I got her home, I used the Oxy10 treatments on her stains and now they are almost all gone.
Hopefully you can add a Yoko to your family soon!
Come next christmas bonus maybe ;_; Got a feeling i'll be paying for Mari for a while as yet...
I know the "broke as hell" feeling all too well. With all the stuff Dollfies require, it's hard to keep yourself from buying them more things than for you. I know for a fact that my girls have more clothes than I currently do! And that's funny and sad at the same time. XD
Congratulations^^
Congrats. She is very pretty. Do post more pictures of her soon.
Wow! Congrats also. Been wanting to have a DD too. BTW yout two look great on the last pic, lol you got me there.
Thanks! Balldylox kind of egged me on for the last one ^^
Very nice blue eyes...i'm hypnotized by it! XD
She sees into your soul~ :D
Nooo!!!! I've became transparent to her!! :P
Congrats on your first girl (^^)
Congrats! She's a lovely girl ♥
She is a lovely girl! Great pictures! Do be careful with those glasses they are really fragile
Will do! I've heard lots about their frailty over the interbutts
sooo cute!
Lovely, how much did you pay for customs? I get my first daughter hopefully soon, and I need to know ^^; Beautiful girl by the way
Managed to get her marked down so the customs on her wasn't too bad, at 5000yen the total customs fees were like £25
Ah cool, not too bad ^^ You go to the MCM expo?
Yeah, every now and again. It's just the travel there from out here in the sticks that prevents me from attending more often. Are you a regular?
I used to go every single time, but now I only go in Mays because I LARP in October (Camping, COLD! D: ) If you go May i'm probably going, it'd be lovely to see you and Mari! ^^
Sorry the reply has been so long due, i've been sorting out moving into a new flat!
If i've got the money to go i'll definately come along to may expo and bring Mari with me. It'd be nice if we crossed paths :)
The best posing ever! XD
Haha thanks!
Congratz on your first daughter :D looking forward to seeing more photo shoots :)
Soon man! Her shoes for the other outfit just arrived XD
Remilia Sama I know you are there :p
Congrats! mari is very pretty :)
very serious.... Smile! you got a cute girl on your arm!
Ahaha, i was lead to believe having a "Serious Business" face was a trademark of the pose!
Congrats! Mari is great! Nice poses.
Thank you :D
gratz, she is cute.
Congrats! :D!
I bet it was very exciting ^^;
First daughter, who's your second daughter ? Rei Ayanami or Asuka ?
I love her hair and her clothes is awesome !!
