The Thirteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter - Kuze Kiriha -
For the past month I have been in the hunt for my thirteenth daughter and it turned out to be one of the bloodiest auction battle I have ever fought in Yahoo Japan Auction... So who is this new daughter? For the few of you who might have frequented the Puchi Blurbs in figure.fm, this new girls is one of the two Home Town Dolpa Kyoto 5 girls, here I present to you Kuze Kiriha! Among one of the rarest Dollfie Dream in the auction market to-date.
Some of you might have recalled that I began playing Fortune Arterial in January, and as I got familiar with the story and the main characters, it became painfully obvious to me that I have to take Kiriha home somehow. I have always liked the look of Kiriha but due to the lack of understanding of her story, I decided to pass on her when I saw her auctions last year. What a costly mistake that was! In fact, Kiriha had just become my most expensive daughter to-date, surpassing the almighty Saber.
Since Kiriha is among one of the rarest Dollfie Dream in the auction market, I knew I have to put some extraordinary effort into searching for her, so I spent the past month or so perfecting my search technique; at one point, I was even temp. banned from using the Yahoo Japan Auction search due to my excessive query into their system LOL. All that aside, my real benefit from searching for Kiriha this time is my new search technique, which allows me to set a variety of search parameters and have the results delivered to me periodically, really improved my odds keeping tracks of things I care about in the future! And here is a sample screen of my search result!
So while I would like to go over all the background story for Kiriha from the game, but it's very difficult without first going through the Erika arc first; so I will be taking my time to put together the summary for Fortune Arterial, voted the best eroge game in 2008! In the mean time, allow me to share some of the pictures of Kiriha for you all to enjoy~
Hopefully, I would be able to see Kiriha in about 2 weeks of time!
Congrats! It was a bloody battle indeed. Nice to see that you emerged from the battlefield victorious! ^^
He who tries to claim my Nidhogg will most certainly be MPKed.
*dies* Kiriha cat maid is dangerousssssssssss.
and Congrats.
I haven't even posted the dangerous shots yet >:D
Congratz Wolf! Now we're equal having our own Kiriha! Isn't she cute? Glad you fought for her till the end, I know how it feels wanting her! Hope to see her next pic along side with your daughters. My search on Sasara is still on my first priority list. Again congrats! xD
So I didn't have to try to kidnap her from your house XD
Congrats Wolf! any plans for more dollfie daughters this year? XD
My current plan has 2 slots open still!
Rina would be one. I'd be guessing Yuki, but that's not entirely sure for you, is it? Or do you have another daughter in mind?
The remaining 2 slots doesn't include Rina and Yuki ^^;
Congrats on the adoption! ^^
I'd ask you to share those tricks in Yahoo! Japan Auction searching but if I want to keep my wallet intact, I better not. XD
=D The new technique has taken a lot of stress out of me fearing that I might miss out of something I like, but yes, I have spent more money because of it XD
congrats on your ever expanding dollfie harem!
Thanks, they are not just my dollfie harem, they are also Dollfie Riders, important actors in my Dollfie Dream Theater!
Congrats to get that DD..the eyes (not in the body)is so cute too on purple colors..maybe try to look that eroge in my list somehow..
I dig the purple eyes and her black pantyhose.
OUhh NAISUUUUUU! I wish I saw the "battle" live!! Any screenshots of it? :D
In fact I did save the screeny, will post in flickr later.
sorry for breaking the comment wolfheinrich pattern. I think you should get Erika as your next dd. and WOW you must be loaded. 13 dollfies already =O
you already have her wig and dress
Erika is definitely on the cards, just shopping for good deal now.
Congrats! I love Kiriha (as you can see by my icon), but I'm not into dolls, so I haven't bothered getting the Dollfie (which is now beyond my means even if I was interested). Wave's version of her was my very first figure and it definitely was love at first sight. ^_^ Be sure to post plenty of pictures of her when she arrives!
I love Kiriha too, just playing her story reinforced my commitment to get her DD form. I will be sure to spam her pictures everywhere when she arrives.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE - KI-KI-KI-KIRIHA!!
XDDDD Indeed. I need to give her an awesome belt!
Although the card says Kamen Ride Card. Id say otherwise.
wow you put so much effort and planning into these auction attacks :D really exciting to watch your collection growing! Kiriha looks very nice. not familiar with ero games other than character pics, but learning personalities must make them more endearing just like when watching anime. I myself am in planning mode to paint a second custom head ^^
^^; Yes, I am a very thorough person, so I have to understand the character first before I decide to get Kiriha. You can say I become a bit more emotionally attach to them after learning the story and the struggles associated with the character.
congratulations XD!
huhuhu Yes!
Wolf, you are the man. Congratz on winning the bloody battle! You deserve a new Decadriver! I'm looking forward to seeing your next photo shoot. (^^)
>:D It was bloody but it is also the price I have to pay for passing her up before. Another lesson learned for me. I will be sure to spam her photos when she arrive.
Just make sure she and Erika get along together...
...somehow, I seriously doubt that's going to happen...
Hahaha, I am assuming you understand how Erika hated Kiriha at the beginning of the game? Well, at least they made up near the end! So I am sure they will become great sisters at my house!
Maybe, but I'd still keep the Decadriver and Diendriver out of those two's hands for a LONG while...:p
I haven't decided which belt to give Kiriha yet.
13th?! Awesome! Congratulations!
Thanks =D
Congrats, Wolfie! Two days to go before Namiko Yamamoto, my MDD, comes home with me. She will likely be my last Dollfie Dream, though. All my large-scale future acquisitions will likely be Obitsu or resin BJD. It's not that I have anything against Volks or Dollfie Dream, but everyone else I want physical representations of are male. And unfortunately until Volks changes their mind there won't be DD boys.
Thanks~
There are always SD. I think Volks' Dollfie Dream Marketing team is targeting the male otaku population, I am pretty confident about that. So, until they shift their marketing strategy, I think we are likely to see more girl DD.
Love the first photo ^^
Thanks Danny ^^;
congrats on another beautiful daughter!
Thank you thank you.
i like her face its really nice ^^
Yeah, that face is so well done, it looks like she is alive. Kiriha and Sasara are my favorites dollfies. But for those you would probably need to sell more than a liver and a pancreas.
Indeed, it was a bloody affair to fight off the competitions, but I'm sure she is well worth my effort.
I am glad you like her face.
why not Rei or Auska. Wait do you have 'em yet?
Yes, I Asuka is my 2nd DD http://www.figure.fm/post/en/2380/DD+Outdoor+Photo+Session+Saber+Rin+and+Asuka.html
Alright! Way to go Wolfheinrich! Im looking forward to see some AWSOME pics of her from u! Congrats~!
I'm sure to be spamming for sure, Kiriha is on par in terms of beauty with Airi and Sasara.
Congrats,although i think yahoo auctions' deciding on permanently banning you at the moment.XD
Better start finding another outlet fast!
XDDDDD, but I was scared to death that they might have actually banned me forever when they did the temp ban. I could still browse their site but just banned from using the search since I was refreshing every few seconds... I am sure that might have caused additional strain in their system.
wow, 13th.... im happy for you... Y_Y too bad im too poor to afford one current...
i hate when work interferes with your personal money cache
I have to shift my priorities around quite a bit, so it's not exactly a drop in the bucket for me either.
congratz !
Thank you ^^;
A little late to the party.. Which , well was due to extenuating circumstances.. But, Congrats Bro.
I'm very happy that you acquired the one that you were searching the most for. The fight was long and hard, but I'm proud to see you came out victorious.
Thank you brother, much appreciate.
