New store with cheap Dollfie! (Akihabara)
(*^O^*) *ultra happy* My first Dollfie! (*^O^*)
Last week a new shop opened in Akihabara.
Figure-R!
On the second floor they sell all kind of dolls!
And also.. Dollfie Dreams! (*^O^*)
They are second hand and sooo cheap!
I bought my first Dolffie today!!! *^________^*
Mio!!! I wanted her sooo long.. but she was always too expensive..
I bought her for 42.000yen!! And she is complete!
(only no box)! They also had Yui for 50.000, Mari for 32.000
and many more!! They also sold bodies for 15.000!
Please enjoy a few photo's from my cute Mio!
I think I will change her name though..:)
Please give me tips about cheap clothing stores and how to take care of her!! *^^*

Whoa~! Base bodies at 15k!? That's a steal!!!
Yes it's insane!! O_O
I'm sooooo happy to have my first DD now!! *^__^*
They has DDS?
Hair looks messy. It comes like that or just need some combing?
Why always negative comments?! XD
She just need some combing, her hair is brand new, I just didn't comb it after putting it on :)
lol. Sorry about that. Doesn't mean it that way. ^^;
Now you need a wig cap to protect Mio's head from stain from the wig. I recommend those silicon ones SD uses. They fit pretty well. The VOLKS one is not very useful. ^^;
Oops. I mean silicone head cap. ^^;
It's a pain to remove stains >< so precaution is better than cure. ^^;
Aaah ok! I understand what you mean now :) Thanks for the tip! Will look for them in Akiba!!! :3
Hmmm do you know the cupsize of Mio? I can;t find it anywhere and maybe it's useful to know because of clothes.. ^^;;; Or do you know where I can find it ^^;;
Mio is M bust. ^^;
http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/k_on/mio.html
ah ^O^ Thanks!
It's ok :3
Is a wig cap really necessary? Will she break or something?
and what is SD? :)
(sorry very new to Dollfies^^;;)
SD = Super Dollfie
I searched for pics on google and yes, I think they had 1! (only 1) But don't know which one and can't remember the price.. T__T sorry T__T Maybe you can check out there website..
Guessing that the inside of her wig is black, the colour will transfer onto her head. So a wig cap will protect her from staining. Same precaution needed for dark clothes.
SD is Volk's Super Dollfie, but also generally used to refer to any 60cm sized dolls
Thank you!! ^o^
DD with black hair, if you look at the inner wig cap, it's black as well. And very likely the colour of the wig cap will transfer onto the skull on the DD. So usually we buy a head cap for protection. It can takes weeks to clear off stains depending how bad it is.
SD = Super Dolfie.
This is the one I use for my DD.

Ah!! Thank you for the information!! Really handy!! :3
Wig caps are a must, else the inner lining of the wig could stain the vinyl. A silicone wig cap will be easier than a cloth one.
Dolk, just across the Kanda river from Akihabara station had silicon head caps in stock for not too much.. They have lots of fashions too.. See my posts from when I was in Akihabara last month. ^_^
Oh, And nice get... I dropped 30000 for two sets of hands and a DD-Dy body at Volks Shinjuku.
Thank you very much!! Will search for it today!! ^O^ I feel so excited ^^;;
If you cross the Kanda river foot bridge on the east side of the rail bridges, hang a left past the Shrine/temple next to the river, and take the next right, half way down the block on the right will be DOLK.
yay..congrats
Thank you!! ^O^
Great bargain, now if they only done online sales for the west. Hah.
Heh ^^;; Yes that would be awesome!! But at least you can visit a different store than Volks and Mandarake! This one was the cheapest!! ^o^
Awww! She's soooo cute-some!!!
Congrats on adopting her! ^^
Thank you soooo much!! \(*^o^*)/
Wow.. that's cheap for a Dolfie lol. I once got an offer to buy a Dolfie from France for 1500 euro >.>
She looks great. And in terms of cheap clothing and all, weren't their a lot of people selling self-made dolfie clothes here on Figure.FM?
Can't help but feeling envy when I look at those pictures. *should stop rambling*
Heh ^^;; Yes normally they are very expensive ^^;;
I saw Mio at the Mandarake last week (which is an awesome cheap store) and she was about 750/800 euro..
and now I have her for 380 euro!! O__O
I understand your feelings, I wanted her for sooo long.. and every time I saw photo's of her I felt so.. incomplete XD
What?! that's the half cheaper. They should open up a Dolfie Dream store in Europe >.> I feel left out lol.
Glad you got her. Take good care of her!
P.S: where's her Shimapan? XD
*nods*.. they should do that indeed..
Lol haven't found a Shimapan yet... :p
- - ||| That`s good
(^O^)v Yes, I'm so happy!! ^O^
Lucky as heck. WHY DONT THEY HAVE ONLINE SHOPPING?! Dx
Congrats on your new daughter!
Thank you!!!! (*^O^*) My first one ever!! I love her so much >_<
awesome congrats :) make sure you get a wig cap for her!! and her jacket and socks will stain ):
Thanks! What do you mean with stain? Will you see damage on her leg's (from the socks?)? Is there something I can do about it? (Gordon told me about the silicone headcap for the wig :3).. and with the jacket you mean the blue one? (I don't put that on, because I don't like it ^^;; I prefer her white blouse).
if you look at this post then you can see stains http://www.wolfheinrich.com/2010/11/25/dollfie-dream-stain-removal-process/ blacks, blue, reds dark purple clothes and wigs they'll all stain your girls body, you can buy a body stocking or wig cap http://www.figure.fm/cgm/ecommerce/figure/images/large/8d8ff2bad03272bf6dea051013ac4fd6.jpg?1268694859 so help protect them, but staining will still happen through these protective items sometimes ): staining can happen as quickly as a dark item being on them for 10 minutes, thats why most people go for lighter safer colours (i have three girls)
Thanks for the info + links!! I'm going to buy a new wig and clothes tomorrow I think ^o^ Will choose light colors ^o^ (I removed her wig for now..^^;; Just to be sure that nothing will happen^^;;).. But one more question! Why will her socks stain? They are white.. is it because it's tight to the body? How about her white underwear then? (pantsu)
ah sorry in the picture her socks look black, anything white will be fine no matter how tight they are :) i look forward to seeing how she looks after her makeover tomorrow :) i may not always have the knowledge but i'll try to help if i can :)
Ah that's good to hear!! Thank you very much!!! *^___^*
Grats!
The great Danny Choo has spoken! ^o^
\(*^O^*)/ Thank you!!!
Congrats Saskia-chan! You're really living it up in Tokyo. LOL. Hope the language classes are going well. Mio is one of the few Dolfies I like and you got a great deal on her but maintenance sure sounds like a headache based on the other posts here. Wonder why the body stains so easily.
\(*^O^*)/ Thanks!!! Yes school is going really good!!! (it is closed now until next week because of summer holiday though^^;;). I will take good care of her!! She's sooooooooo cute (>__<);;;
wow, Congrats ^^. I will have to visit there the next time im in Japan ^^.
Yes make sure you do!! ^o^ She was double the price at Mandarake O_O I was really surprised ^^;;
Congratulations on adopting your first daughter. I need to check their site. Those are some really good prices for Dollfie Dreams. Buying her clothing and accessories becomes a hobby within itself, so have fun, but be careful as the amount of money you spend adds up quickly :P
Hehehe :p Thanks!! I will be careful.. I will buy her a new wig and some close tomorrow though.... :p
WANT! ^o^
I won it for 100yen!!! ^O^ together with a smaller version! (2 in 1 shot)^o^
LUCKY! I need one! >_<
Yes, pretty awesome! and I didn't know I would get the guitar too O_O so surprised ^^;;;
Congratulations! And you are so so lucky on getting her cheap. Now only if you can help us get body parts. I totally need DD hands! >_< (and some cute clothes for my own Mio XD)
I will make a post if I find good other bargains ^^ This store had only 2 (complete) body's :) not hands and eyes and stuff :)
Congratulations on your first DD! =^o^=
Thank you very much!!! ^O^
If you have any tips, everything is welcome!!! ^O^
The most important tip is to protect the girl from stain! Never let a girl wearing a black and dark clothing (wigs) long time! Protect against falls! =^o^= And it is very important to love a girl and to take photos! =^.~=
Congrats she's such a cutie! <3
Thank you very very much!!! *^O^*
Dayum! That IS a steal. I wonder if this is a grand opening promotion, or if they actually intend to keep prices this low? Do these guys have a website?
Anyway, congratulations, and black belt shopper points for you!
Yes they have a website, you can see it on the photo with the card :)
(www.figure-r.com)
I have no idea if this is an opening promotion. I think that this will be the normal prices since they don't have bargain signs and stuff :)
Oh~ good news, glad for you.~ ^^/
Thanks!! ^O^
I would like Mio myself, but am happy to take any Charcater Dollfie Dream at the right price.
I'll have to mark this place on my iphone when i get to Toyko in late Sept.
Well done on your 1st daughter. There will be many more to come.
Yes make sure to check it out!! ^O^
Thank you very much!! *^O^*
Congrats! Nice to see you were able to get her at such a good price! ^^
To style the hair I'd recommend gently brushing it with a soft toothbrush.
If you're in Japan now and want to learn more about DD, a good opportunity to also practice Japanese and get some good DD care tips maybe try and get in touch with some of our Japanese DD comrades that lurk about on figure.dm?
Thanks for the tips!! ^O^
Can you do a google maps as to where this is, exactly? (hard to make out.)
Done! Posted a link on the last photo :3
Wait, you are in Japan? Rats!!! If I had known, we could have done a meet up at the same time as Hotaru when I was there last month... Missed another guy from here because he thought I was leaving the 21st, when it was the 23rd. And we were in the same hotel!!! (augg!)
Nice find! Mio is a cute one...
Same hote? O_O Woa.. that's really bad .__. (bit funny though.. ^^;;) :3 Thanks!! I love her.. I always wanted her..:)
Congrats on your first Dollfie! :)
Thank you!! ^O^
Aww congrats on the cheap Mio! That was really lucky that you found her! :D ^_^
*nods* \(*^O^*)/ Still can't believe it ^^;;
lucky !!
probably next year i can go to Jap and buy some dd clothes -.-
Nice!!! ^O^ I will search for some clothes and a new wig today :3
Wow, that's really great you could get a Mio for such a good price! Congrats!
Some of those prices you mention are really good. I wish that place had been there when I visited... XD
Thanks for showing where it is located, that should help some DD's get adopted fast! =3
I post a link from google maps, so it will be more easy to find it now:)
Make sure to check it out next time!! ^O^
Oh wow! congratulations, and welcome to the dark side XD *hands you cookies mio is very adorable hope to see more of her in the near future :3
Thank you!!! *^____^* You will see more of her.. :3
Congrats! She's very cute. You will need a body stocking for darker clothes (can by from Volks or Dollfieworld). Darker co ours can transfer onto the vinyl and are hard to remove. The same is true for reds, or even dark threads. A toothbrush works well to comb the hair.
There's a nice DD forum called dollfiedreams.com that has a lot of helpful info plus a "DD newbies" section that you might find helpful -- come join us there!
Thanks for all the tips!!! ^O^
Forgot to say, DDs are addictive! Now you need a Nagato DD . . .
ww.. :p No I don't like the Nagato DD that much .__. I'm really picky.. ^^;; I loved Mio from the first sight.. <3 (*^o^*)
congrats! Mio is very very cute! (I have one too!)
thanks for the news! I just thinking in go to Akiba this week on my golden week, will make a visit to this new shop.
