Dollfie Dream Family Photo + DD Gathering Update
I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the “surprise element” deadline >.>;;; Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party… but why should I do that? Well, I originally did that because I have no spare parts for DDDy body, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick up a 2nd DDDy body… of course DD Gathering released DDDy body as normal item, so that blew my plan out of the water. But I kept my silence and was hoping to introduce Sasara in the Dollfie Dream Theater as a surprise character, however, Volks USA announced yesterday that they have begun sending Sasara to USA lottery winners >.>; exactly a month earlier than what they had promised.. so my so called surprised plan is not going to work anymore >.>; So, there isn’t any reason for me to hold on to this group photo anymore.
As usual, full scale images can be found in my blog.
I was hoping to be able to pick up Natsuki and use this photo to celebrate the arrival of 10th daughter, but most of you already knew that didn’t work out too well since DD Gathering open web order is ruthless to anyone outside of Japan.
I included the “original” Asuka oneesan in this photo because it fit the screen better this way~ It took me quite a bit of time to balance every daughters and have them sit where I want them to be @.@;
Anyone think the pose for Asuka, Escalayer and Rin look vaguely familiar? That’s right! Everything I was trying to setup in the Hikari Photo Studio was building up for this mega family photo! Since we are in the “autumn” time frame, I have switched the location to show some autumn leaves, though I think my daughters are filling up the screen more >.>;
And on a separate note, I have just received confirmation from Volks USA that I have managed to win the lottery for DD Natsuki~
The down side is I won’t be able to see her until next year, so the 10 daughters group photo will have to wait until next year >.>; Well, I should be grateful that I don’t have to pay extra money to adopt her >.>
Natsuki is HOT, somehow I think she is going to develop some kind of a “relationship” with one of my girls :P I can’t wait to put Natsuki under my own camera lens, I have a feeling that she won’t be overexposed >.>;
While DD Gathering might not have been a successful event for me, it didn’t end in total failure either, somehow I managed to pick up the Lacrosse Attack Player set, Bamboo Sword and some Skin colored body suits.
And of course, just right after the dust settled down on DD Gathering, Volks has already begun the promotional effort for Dollpa 22 >.>; I am actually praying that there won’t be anything I want in Dolpa 22, give my saving account a break! In two weeks, we will know which new Dollfie Dream would be coming out~ Their target date for distribution is Nov. 14th.
Very nice ladies (>^^)>
Not big on dolfies but I wouldn't think twice for Saber. Speaking of which...you live where again? - preps bag with chloroform, ropes, tear gas, face mask, gloves, lock-picker, fake IDs, etc... -
You wanna to get a 9 rider kick? That's what my daughters would do if we get unauthorized entry =P
18 if I'm lucky (^^;)
In the nuts? If you're lucky, I guess :P
amazing photos, great to see all your daughters together ^^ Escalayer striking such a pose in a family photo my my! lol original Asuka fits in well too.
you have to wait until next year but at least you have a Natsuki to call your own ^^ i completely forgot to try and get the skin colored body suits in the DD gathering event, but i can barely afford to put more into my DD these days @_@
Yeah, been wanting to do a group photo for some time now~ Well, Escalayer has been flashing pantsu since 2002, one more isn't going to make any difference :P
Yeah I was fortunately to be able to pick up Natsuki at Volks standard price, say no to those Dollfie Dream Sharks luring in YJA!
Very very good DD ladies XD
^^; Thanks Toel. Though I am still a far cry from your collection :3
wow 9 dollfie ^_^ awesome happy haloween BTW
Happy Halloween, though no one is stopping by for Trick or Treat!
9 dollfies brings you luck number instead of 7..Good luck picking "natsuki" as the 10th DD ^|||^
Yeah Natsuki will be wearing the number 10 jersey :P
OMG you have a squadron of daughters. If I had that many, I would outfit them with guns and rob a bank lol!
If they bring out a Saber Lily at Dollpa 22 then I'm definitly going adopt her without a second thought no matter how much she costs!
Not so sure about Saber Lily coming out in Dolpa 22, but if she is I would be going after her too.
With so many daughters you are going to go bankrupt paying for all the weddings and giving out dowry (trousseau?). Just adopt some sons to even out the balance a bit! ;)
Who is going to dare taking my daughters away >.>; I will give that whoever boy a good smack in the head so he would even think twice about marrying my daughters!
Well, we all know how well that policy works in the real life, don't we? ;)
So hedge your bets!
LOLz, tell me which SD boy is coming after my daughter right now! I will go smack him in the head!
Ahhh, lovely picture! Tell Escalayer to quit striking such a pose and drawing all the attention in the photo! It's just a family photo! X3 ♥
Actually, I'm not much a fun of Asuka/Rin/Escalayer, but they look nice here, with all their sisters. :]
Haha, that was a pose I designed for Escalayer back in the Miss Dollfie Summer 2009 so that became her standard pose. I might have to work on a new pose for the 10 daughters photo though~
Wow yeah... so aside from Saber and Escalayer, everyone's got thigh highs up the wazoo! Wait, that didn't come out right >.>
Crazy spectacular pics, especially with the 9 huge Dollfies XD So now that the family portrait is done, you can do more individual posing again? heheh ^^
Pop quiz for you ecchi-man, how many pantsu is being flashed!
Yeah, can do more individual poses now, but still can't do too many clothes change until you finish your story!
It's either 5 or 6 :P I got an idea for the last two parts, just need to break it down... I've got too many other ideas swirling in my head atm XD
No need to rush now, Volks USA blew up my plan already ~.~
The correct answer is 6 :p
Teh girls are the cuteness, I congratulate you for having a somewhat adequate account for providing for the daughters you've adopted, let alone another one....... Kudos to you, Sir.... ( someday, I'll adopt at least one )
This is no small expense for me either, I just choose what I can spend money on nowadays.
congratulation that u could get Natsuki ~!
Thanks ;s
Gorgeous photos as always.
Thanks Danny :3 will changes their clothes soon~
Wow, nice group photos!! I know its only a couple more days till mine arrives home, but I live a little far away from home (for school). So I won't be seeing her till I come back home next weekend (T_T) grrr....(>_<)ノシノシ
Hehe thanks. Do remember Sasara's standard dress will stain her oppai >.>; Hope you can see your Sasara soon~
I totally forgot about that. What did you do to prevent from staining?
Well, this is what you need to do. Majority of her dress do not put tension on her body so it won't stain for the most part except the front V on her oppai. What you need to do is to put something between her dress and her oppai so they don't touch. I use Glad wrap folded in several layers so there is always a small gap.
Thanks for the advice!! Now I have to invest in the dollfie stand (^^;; )
It's kind of tricky to go this route, I had to try several times to get it just right. You want to inspect your girl every 24 hours or so for stain initially to make sure you get the correct coverage.
Okay, Thank You so much Wolf. I'll probably ask more questions to you in future. I was planning to get light or white colored clothes later. I'm a little scared (of staining) with her default outfit.
Awesome Dude! All 9 in full display :D.
Are you as poor as i m now ?
I love doing group photos! I keep that in my photo now and look at them every once in a while at work~
Well, it took a sizable chunk out of my saving account yes.
SGD isn't helping much compared to USD :3 hehehehe.
The weak USD is not helping yeah.
With my failure in acquiring Moe-Chan.. Seems I have more funds for Saber Alter now.
You could always acquire Moe-chan on YJA, Saber alter is probably one of the most overprized Dollfie Dream out right behind Tamaki.
Lovely! I finally get too see feena. Seems like she's been hiding hehehe.
I know I have been hiding Feena, but she is set to debut on Dollfie Dream Theater in a not too distance future.
your soooooooooooooooooooo lucky
Sorry, pardon my ignorance(im new to dollfie, just got my base body), but you have to win the right to buy the special pre-made dollfies?
Is there anything specific you are looking for? Like an image character? All of my girls as you see in my photo are limited release image character of popular anime/game. They came to me as complete package with their respective clothes and wig.
Now, if you are building a custom character of your own, there are several places you can find clothes and wig.
Volks store
http://www.volksusa.com/outfits.html
where you can find reasonably priced normal clothes, all unique clothes for popular image character are of limited release and you can only find them available at a doll event for a limited amount of time. You could however find those limited release clothes in Yahoo Japan Auction.
Hobby Link Japan and Hobby Search
http://www.hlj.com
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/doll
both of these stores carry clothes by Azone International, most of their clothes for the 60cm SAR body would fit a DD II M bust with little problem.
As far as wig goes, I am not as knowledgeable as some of our veterans here, I hear LUTS and Dollga make suitable wigs for Dollfie Dream.
For now, im building one for poses and dynamic angles for my art, but later I want to start to buy the limited edition ones....I really want a Sasara, or at least just the body and head since the head ia a limited edition one I cant get alone.
Is there any chance anyone would sell a sasara dollfie in the near future(dont know if this is taboo to ask here)?
Well if you are building one for poses and dynamic angles then those sources would most certainly fill your need. Sasara huh, there is a possibility that I could let my 2nd Sasara to a more suitable parent since I don't really need two of them. I got her primarily for parts but if I were to let her go, I will have to offer that chance to everyone in figure.fm
Most Yahoo Japan Auction has her priced somewhere in the 100k yen range but I have no intention committing the same crime of jacking up the price other than recovering what I had paid for her and a small handling fee. I had fronted the money two months ago after all. I will price her at $650 USD if I am going to let her go.
650 is fare, I just dont want to deal with japanese auctions, if it was person to person sale I'd commit to it. If not, I'll just funnel mony to my LWRC project. For now I'll save up the cash for it. Thanks for your help, I knew I can count on figure.fm, Now I have to hunt down a face-up artist!
It will be a paypal transaction, I would have to front additional money if I were to put her up in an auction site. If you are serious about the deal I will make a classified post here in figure.fm and there will be a little contest to decide who is the most suitable parent.
Yeah right...I bet theres 12 or more perspective "fathers" that'll pay $700 or more for her...Thats almost an AR-15 price territory there. But just incase I'll start saving. should I contact you when I get the cash(it'll be in a month and a half)?
Price is fixed, it's not the intent of this contest to ask for more money. The contest is meant to determine who is more suitable to be her future father, more money doesn't mean he will be more suitable.
Oh, man, Dollpa 22. . . I just hope they don't put a DD Miku out at that particular Dollpa, I need more time to save up for her, because I know no matter what head mold they make for Miku I'm very very likely to be in love.
Your group photo is very nice. You've gotten good at posing them in a lifelike way. I expect them to start talking to me at any moment!
I am crossing my fingers that they won't release anything I wanted. I really could use a break for my saving account :3
I spent quite a bit of time to design their poses, I am glad you enjoy them :DDD
You need to work more on a sense of beauty. ;)
E.g. my wife does not see anything interesting enough in recent Volks dollfie offerings.
Now, if only she were not thinking about Suiginto so much... ;)
Sense of beauty? Would you care to elaborate?
I mean, she is so picky that it is very hard to come of things she would like (which is good in a sense that there are not many "must have" things to buy, e.g. she does not find many of the Volks dollfies very good and worth owning).
But then when she does find something she thinks is good, it is pretty hard not to get it.
But yes, I know, tastes differ. ;)
Well for me, Dollfie Dream are the ultimate representation of the characters I adore most. So it's not about whether they are very good or worth owning, you can say I am a different type of collector.
Right.
Please pass my condolences to your savings account ;)
Also, lucky you!
Well, my taste is unique and I don't find many of the "current" or "trendy" characters attractive, so I will get a break that way.
What is the deffinition of a suitable father? Sorry for all the questions.
There will be a series of questions, whoever got all the correct answers in the best time will be deemed most suitable father.
Oh wow, sounds like convincing a father in his daughter's hand in marriage(then paying a dowry)...or convincing BAFTE/ATF to buy a Class-3 weapon! Sounds fair, may the best suiter win.
Thank you
Even though she may be my 2nd Sasara, but that doesn't mean I love her any less. It is my duty to find her a proper home. There is no better way than to hold a contest.
I know how you feel, that same way I felt when I sold my 91 Supra twin turbo, and my Bulgarian Arsenal Ak-74(during election season).
I hope she finds a good home! :) I'm saving up for a body which I will permanently keep with M-bust and a new blank head :3
I hope so too~
That's one big family, didn't know that you have 9 daughters. ^ ^;
I bet that it's a party in your house every day. ^ ^
Yes, I have nine unique daughters :P Natsuki would be the 10th if nothing else happen between now and January.
Sorry for the late comment but I just wanted to say that your dollfie family is simply great and they'll look so beautiful that I envy for havin'em (Sasara looks so sexy^^).
Congratulations!
Thanks~ ^^;
You sir, have fine tastes. I would like to know where you got those Dollfies. ^_^
Majority of my girls are acquired thru either Yahoo Japan Auction or through Volks Doll Party.
there must be very costly to own all the doll and theirs costume.
But they bring greater degree of satisfaction over all other otaku spending.
Someday I'll own a DD. If I had the spare money at the time Yoko would have been my first.
Yoko is not difficult to come by actually, you might even be able to acquire her at or below MSRP.
Though I could adopt some dollfies before my body starts to reform again.
Where can I adopt dollfies? Rather than working some jobs that involves meat work. -hides a big T bar used to hang by the legs and some machetes and then using meat hooks and using just brute strength to remove the limbs-
Hello, can you please tell me where I can find a saber dollie that you have in your collection or maybe a similar one? also can you tell me how tall saber is in cm? thank you very much ! :)
hi can someone give me some dollfie..please i want them sooooo muucchhh
thanks for sharing all your beautiful dolls with us! My collections is very small :( Hopefully one day, it would be as big and beautiful as yours!!!
