Two moons have passed since the first placement of my Noble Phantasm, progress has been going well just according to keikaku, a major torture to my bank account in the process… ^^;

Mouseover = load notes.

Over the past few weeks, more and more Dollfie Dream stuffs start to creep into my den… Soon Phase 2 of my project will finally complete and the time to move onto the biggest challenge of the Unlimited Installment Works: procurement of the DDII M-bust base body…

That… will starve me for another two moons… ^^;

Anyways, since the very economical acquisition of a DDH for a mere 1,000 yen bid won at Y!JA, I’ve meant to custom it by redoing the thing altogether…

Mouseover = load notes.

After many attempts using nail polish remover, sand-papering and eye-decal application later, I’ve almost got it right, but I’m not quite happy with my painting skill at all… ^^;

Mouseover = load notes.
Note: Keikaku means Plan

The eye decal starts to peel itself off after a couple of week (I’ve redone it by using a permanent marker, looks OK-ish to me…) and I believe I’ve messed up her mouth… >,<

In the end, I’ve decided to get a professionally done DDH from Y!JA… And I did managed to get one, albeit adding another blow to my wallet… :0

Note: Keikaku means Plan

Done by SQ-Lab, their custom DDH’s on Y!JA fetched positive comments from various DD parents, many of them can skyrocket to 20,000 yen – 30,000 yen or more at a time!

It’s a miracle that I even managed to win this Kanae Type-25 Original DDH for 10,000 yen (Still hurts my monetary reserves tho… Ouch!), despite several contenders for her fairness… ^_~

Looks like my decision to snipe-bid works… :3c Expecting to welcome her by next week if all goes well… :Dc

During these while, I’ve been searching for a more suitable Animetic eyes for my custom DD, as the one I got from Volks directly seems too small the iris on my 1st DDH…

While randomly googling around the cyberfield, I’ve stumbled upon a comrade’s blog site that offers to take commissions on making custom doll eyes called Ersa Flora.

Note: Keikaku means Plan

Silver Solstice-san can do all sorts of doll eyes, from 1/6 to 1/6 to metallic eyes to normal eyes to even glow-in-the-dark eyes, and her price is pretty much similar to the official Volk’s ones which is reasonable…

Here’s a piccie showing her custom eyes in action… ^_~

Besides the above, I’ve also acquired a couple more dollie stuffs from Hobby Search. The first being a Metallic Stand for 60cm Dolls by Cuties

Mouseover = load notes.
Note: Keikaku means Plan

It is a hips-grabber type stand with a heavy, sturdy metal base that will be handy when I get the DDII M-bust base body later on… ^_~

Besides that, I also procured a pair of 60cm Haruka Shoes by Obitsu as an alternative for Caster Extra’s platform footwear… :P

Mouseover = load notes.
Note: Keikaku means Plan

As you may notice underneath the shoes, it has magnetic parts allowing you to “stick” it onto metal surface.

Mouseover = load notes.
Note: Keikaku means Plan

It is so strong that you can stick them onto the Doll Stand vertically! XDc

And finally fresh from Y!JA are two DD outfits for my upcoming daughter! XDc

Mouseover = load notes.
Note: Keikaku means Plan

Both (The dark dress and the pure white bikini) items are actually made by the same tailor/seamstress… It’s berry naisu of him/her to have included a thank you slip along with the package… ^_~

His/Her name is Saito… Hmmm… coincidence? The seiyuu for Caster Extra is Saito Chiwa-chan! XDc

Anyways… Phase 2 is now completed… :Dc Beginning phase 3…

      A spare? Unless someone offers to take her from my hands...

      I'm willing to let her go for the same price I got her, which is 1,000 yen +... ^_^

    Your Caster is going to be amazing when she's all put together~ I like the dress you got, too!

    Are you going to commission someone to make an actual Caster-outfit like the one in the first picture?

            The height adjustment thumb screw cannot hold the stand together, will slip.

              I see what you mean there... Maybe a slight drilling will do... ^_~

                I suppose if you drill an array of dimples along the rod, it will allow the screw to dig in and hold better but I still recommend not to use it outdoor. Get a Dollfieworld stand.

    That's a really cute custom head! Congrats on getting it for so low!

    I wouldn't necessarily recommend using round eyes for her though... Those are more suited for Super Dollfie heads that have a more natural look to their eye-holes. The Animetic eyes offered by Volks have a much more Anime style look to them that works better with the shape of Dollfie Dream eye holes. Just like the Y!Japan preview pic of your new head that has oval-shaped irises in it. But that's just my opinion, of course. XD

      Oh, that's my thought exactly! That's why for this commission I asked for an animetic oval iris eyes instead of round iris eyes! XDc
