Note: Keikaku means Plan
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… ^^;

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…

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… ^^;

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

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.

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…

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

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

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

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…












That's a really nice head, congrats :)
3Q berry machi! ^o^
Congrats! SQLAB Heads are great! :)
I simply can't deny her charm... She's screaming "I am Caster Extra" from many angles!
Your Caster will look taller with this ^^;
That's the whole point! X3c
That's a cute SQ Labs head, your Caster will look nice.
Saito Chiwa voiced kitsune Caster? I didn't know.
Yes she is! Hear her dere dere voice in action here! Xdc https://yunam0n.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC-%E4%B8%80%E7%94%9F%E4%BB%98%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6%E3%81%84%E3%81%8D%E3%81%BE%E3%81%99%E3%83%BC/
Awesome! The SQ-Lab head looks good!
I really look forward to see more ヽ(・∀・)ノ
Yes, SQ-Lab's DDH's are awesome!
Wow that looks pretty cool, can't wait to see when she is done!
So am I!
Doki doki waku waku suru~!
So what becomes of this head? :0
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 +... ^_^
Hmm...if I can have a few days (not enough money right this moment XD), I'll take it :D
Take your time! She'll still be available unless someone got to me before you... :0
Please send your requests to neoprolacus[at]gmail[dot]com... ^_^
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?
Just as keikaku! XDc It will be done in Phase 4...
@yunamon Nooooooooo, not the cutie stand, they suck =.=
ORLY!? And I thought it's a good one... Even @Dollfiehome said it's adequate...
I don't know if @dollfiehome actually has one but both @chibichibiusa_ and I do and we both agreed it sucks!
Please enlighten me... 0_0 What's wrong with Cuties Stand?
The height adjustment thumb screw cannot hold the stand together, will slip.
/Checking
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.
I'll keep that tip in mind... Maybe will procure one in the future...
Congrats on your sq-lab head! Those shoes are -amazing-!!!
Oh LOL! Arigatou gozaimasu!
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
Oh, nice! I didn't know people could make custom oval eyes, I've only ever seen the round. XD Anyhow, I look forward to seeing everything put together /o/
Well, she did said she accept customisations! So I gave her my requirements! ^_^
Good head & eyes♥♥♥
Good job ^.^b
3Q, senpai~! ^_~
With Silver Solstice, how would you go about ordering custom ones? Also, I absolutely love her face.
Head to her site for more info... :3c http://www.ersaflora.com/index.html
Thanks! I do adore those eyes...
So you're getting your chosen eyes too...? :3c
Congrats! Nice work!^^
3Q na! Still in progress tho... XDc
