Oh no! My doll's neck broke (and how I fixed it)

  

Starting my first 2024 blog post with a misfortune. 

The plastic neck part of Volks MDD-III body broke from the tension. I have this body since 2015 when my friend helped to purchase directly from Volks Japan. I fix the body with my own custom DDH-01 and her name is Nayeon. Though she made her first debut in 2022 due to procrastination.

Removing Dollfie Dream Doll's Stain Experiment

We all know that one of the cons owning  Dollfie Dream (DD) doll is staining problem. Compare to resin ball jointed doll, DD has vinyl surface which tend to get easily stain with clothe dye.

Attending : Dollfest Malaysia 2016

Hello everyone !

I hope everything goes well. I'm here to share my experience on attending the Dollfest Malaysia 2016 hosted by Malaysian doll owners.

Facebook : dollfest.malaysia

The event details as below :

Even title        :    Dollfest Malaysia 2016
Date                :   1 May 2016, 10.00am - 6.00pm
Venue             :    Makespace, Quill City Mall, Kuala Lumpur. 
Entrance Fee :    RM5

This is the second year they hold the event. The first one was on 25th April 2015 in different venue. It was small meanwhile crowd was big. So that's an improvement when they held the event in Makespace.

If you wish to view last year's event , check my Flickr album. I attended as Dollfie Dream Malaysia booth guardian :p

WARNING : Load pictures ahead !

Hello ! Marissa :3

Wee ~ another new addition in the family. I swore to myself not to collect odd size for my collection , but then,  look at me now, holding some tiny dolls. Argh!

I don't remember where I saw Kikipop first. Little did I know she is Japanese artist collaboration with Azone and some years ago, they stop the production and she became so expensive (like three times of her actual value).

Hello! KIKIPOP  first version,

Marmalade Brown (left) & Honey Pink (right)

During end of year 2015, Azone and Kinoko Juice has decided to re-release again the Kikipop. My friend who really wanted her, straightly hyped and did not hesitate to buy her.

A few months later, they came up with the new version, Romantic Frill Sugar.

Hello! KIKIPOP Romantic Frill Sugar

I got poisoned (ﾉ_ _)ﾉ , so I shared with my boyfriend to buy her through a friend (which is also AmiAmi.com dealer).

Finally, unboxing my Picco Neemo Lil' Fairy Erunoe !

This is a quick post to notify that I've finally open my Azone Lil' Fairy Erunoe. Oh God, it took me 6 months I think (?) to release her from this box cage.

For all this time, I was occupied with other things or really not in the mood to do the unboxing video. Usually, if there's doll come in, I will shoot video of unboxing. It's like their birth moment I would like to capture so I can watch it later.

Presenting, Sachiko ( さちこ) , my new little fairy. She is literally small as fairy, I have to handle delicately with her. It's all worth it with that cutie looks on her face. Oddly, she suppose be my doll's doll. Let's see how she goes, haha .

I did give personal opinion and advice regarding this small doll, please watch it here.

P/S : Sorry for the video quality not very good, I recorded with my webcam in low light condition.

Lost Little Girl Found Her Home (Miyu's Arrival)

Hi, I'm back with the dolly news ! There's a new additional family member.. ehhh..?
 = = =(ﾉ･ｪ･)ﾉ Presenting, my second Dollfie Dream doll, Mariko ! Ahaha, they just multiple without my notice

Yes, I won her in recent Volks lottery in August 2015. Mariko was re-released along with DD Kirika (Shining Resonance) & DD Alisa (Alisa Ilyinichna Omela TV Anime Ver.).
 Mariko , on the other hand , is the 3rd Ver. named Summer Festival Ver. after previous Mariko Sensei & Mariko Student.

Mariko cost me around $545 (MYR2,300±) include tax & shipping (company price is 57,000 yen with tax , excluded shipping). I made my payment on 31st August and she arrived to me on 12 September 2015. That quite sometime because in previous shipment , it took 4-5 days for item to arrived once payment has been made.

I wasn't lucky time time in term of custom charge. Thus, additional 6% tax is added in order to collect her. Thanks to my friend too, who helped me over to collect the box because I had plan over weekend and the custom office quite far, it took around 30-45 minutes to drive over there.

I named her Hoshino Miyu 星野美優 (ほしのみゆ) which mean beautiful plain of stars. She is Maya's sister ( my boyfriend's DD).

What's this?! No..I could see money flying away (Haul)

Happy new year, 2015 !
(so belated post _(:3_/∠）)

It's been awhile I don't post around here. Here I come with recent update aye! Last December 2014, we had annual anime-con , Comic Fiesta 2014 and it's was FILLED WITH PEOPLE. I barely breathe.

New Angel Knocks On My Home's Door

This is overwhelming.

You know 'just a doll company thing' when they like to release someone you really, really like whenever you have nothing but sand, in your purse/wallet.

And let me tell you which this time. It's Volks !

Righhhtt, it's AKIRA. She has been in my wishlist for sooo long and I was thinking to get her next year because I pre-ordered Volks Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku (which coming over this December 2014) and since she was limited release, the way I only get her is from another person, second handed.

But, suddenly Volks happily re-release her with different outfit. Oh Volks ! How could I miss this? Instead getting her in higher price sold by others, it's better get brand new Akira with original price, right?
She's still limited though, available to purchase in lottery system, which mean I need my Luck Angel to get this baby.

The voting period was on 21st - 23rd  July 2014 and she goes with the price of 55,000JPY. I randomly put myself on luck like, "If I won this, means she's coming home sooner with me, or else, we just wait again".

Well, my Luck Angel heard my prayers, that 24th July the miracle showed up in my e-mail. I was literally dance off in my work place and everyone starred at me like I gone maniac. Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Thus, on 5th August 2014, she knocks my door.
