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.

The early look of Nayeon 

(She has different face-up by now)

The Menacing Evil Is Born

Hellooooooo, it's been awhile, yeah?

Do people still read blog anymore? I don't know-

I write time to time whatever I feel just for an online record and perhaps a guide for others. This time I'm eagerly bestow my new doll.

Never had I ever thought my collection expanding this far, now I have a male MSD. Here ye, here ye! I present to you my new addition , Soom Little Gem, Cheshire! 

I'VE STRAYED FROM PLAN | (Roa 's Arrival)

Hey everyone, guess what? I have a new doll.

That's not surprising?

Hah ! Hear me, the doll is not in my wishlist; it's even something I tried to avoid in my collection.

I broke my words, I strayed from my plan !  / / / / つд `) 

Dollmeet : Mini Dollmeet@Perfume Dance Cafe

It's been awhile I didn't write about doll meet. In fact, this is not the first this year, there were previous events but I didn't take good picture of it, so there's no sharing from my side. ( >_< ;)

As far I could remember the previous doll meets after Dollfest 2016 were Macaron Doll Tea Party ' & ' Dollfie Raya Gathering '.

The doll meet was hosted by Roselyn & Shinya at interesting place, Perfume Dance Cafe. It's located on the first floor of IOI Mall, Putrajaya. This cafe is from Taiwan and popular with their dessert. The cafe theme is "Romance of European" with lovely classic music background, I feel humble to come in the cafe with casual clothe.

Overall cafe looks, fancy right? *credits photo to placesandfoods.com

Attending : Animangaki 2016

The annual must-go ACG event has return. On 2016, it was held on 27th & 28th August 2016 , same venue , Sunway Pyramid Conventional Centre.

However, I'm going to write only the coverage of Dollfie Dream Malaysia display booth on the event itself. That's the main reason I went by the day.

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

Caramel Brown (left) & Milky Blonde (right)

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

I got busy with commission and preparation stuff for Comic Fiesta 2015. This year the event was held in new hall, Mines Convention Centre Kuala Lumpur, after 3 years in KLCC.

I had experience for opening booth in Comic Fiesta, it was in 2011 and 2012 with group of artist friends. However, this year I solely opened alone of my product with a friend together wished to display our dolls.

Oh,  it was my first time that I submit my artwork to Comic Fiesta 100 Days countdown and I was on Day 58 :)

What's special about it, I got exposure on their official page and my art will be on the event's gallery. I saw my art on top there !

My booth was located at Row H , shop number 4. Half table was set up with dolls and the other were stuffs for sale. Here how it looked :

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).

Miku's Worst Trip Ever !

*credits artwork to Yupi, image source Zerochan.net

This is a story of my bad experience on international delivery with my local mail service, Pos Malaysia / Pos Laju. It's my first time to send out parcel outside Malaysia and I had bad time due to inconsiderable authorities and my own careless.

I sold my Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku to a Brazilian lady. She paid me in layaway and once completed  , I packed her and hand her on the delivery center on 13th March 2015. I was using Express Mail Service (EMS) , so the timeline to get to her is within 1 week+

The shipping fee is pricy, it's like 1/3 price of the doll value itself. The buyer requested me to put under value / gift on description to avoid the Customs tax. Thus, I wrote Doll / Gift and did not declare the value of item at all (this is the bad mistake). 

Surprisingly, my first timer experience was taken advantage when the Pos Laju staff did not remind me to complete the form (I don't even know that is my responsible to make sure the form complete) and just let my parcel pass through.

I'm back with recent random doll haul !

Hello, there.
It's been awhile, I know, I know, I'm sorry. ｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡

I had too much things going on (and being procrastinate..), I should have write this post earlier, but finally I've decided it's now and NOW. These stuffs are in my hands like  months ago , took them pictures but I left it dusk in the desktop file.

This time, the haul is from Volks and stuff I get from friend's booth, Macaron Doll in C2AGE 2015.

Check my flickr album below for more pictures of the event :)



Another big news is. . I'm getting another girl!  BUT, I don't complete her yet and give her name. She will be my first custom modding mold by myself. This need to take slowly as it's a delicate process.

For a head start, she is a Volks Mini Dollfie Dream (MDD) body with DDH-01 head (normal skin).

I obtained her body from friend's help when he was on trip to Japan, but the head was sold out. Therefore, 2 months later I got her 2 heads, which one I bought from a friend and another is I bought from Volks when they restocked the heads. I got myself two heads because I have two looks I need to mod, one of the mod is risky since I want her to have open mouth, at least another head is spare if any case fails.

I would definitely share my experience on modding the head when she is ready. Right now, I'm still collecting tools for the modding process.

Let's get back to haul story.

Hello, Miku. Welcome to your temporary home !

Bam! Welcome to the box opening of Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku, as I promised. Finally can write the blog once I done taking the photos.

After the long time wait, like 1 year LOL , she finally arrived at 26 December 2014.

*warning : load of pictures inside

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.

Recent Dollmeets Wrap [BJD Asia & Myu's Birthday Party]

 I realized I got lazy to share some pictures from my recent dollmeets. Well for this month, I have two, which are BJD Asia : Booo~!!!! It's Halloween Doll Gathering & Myu's Birthday Party (Dollfie Dream dolls).
It was tiring for us, collectors, in terms of preparing to dress our dolls for the gathering. Lack of sleep and good rest. Everything for the sake of doll meetings. Ohohohoho!

Let's start according to the timeline.

*Post filled with images inside*

Oh look, a new parcel. Upon 29 October 2014, finally he gets in my hands. I was insecure for the waiting time. Gosh!

Not So Little Doll Haul + Review [Edited 9.11.2014]

I've been busy lately and bitten by procrastinator bug. (=A=") Thus, I would like to share you my shopping haul. I received all of them officially on 5 October 2014.

Most of the items are accessories for my dollfie dream doll, however any SD / medium size doll can share this size.  Let's take an overview on what I purchase and where are they from.

These are wigs from Pengin Workshop which based in China. These are synthetic mohair wigs. I had a friend who bought from before and she gave a good recommendation as they are flexible to style on. I decided to purchase them when they had promotion free delivery for over 2 wigs purchase. Therefore, I joined the group order. Based on their packaging and little text, I believed the owner is cute person.


Meanwhile, these are from my Tabao order and handmade clothe from a friend. I waited around 2 months to received them thru my Tabao agent. The breakdown item shop as below :

• Wigs from Kaleidoll
• Animatic Eyes from White Dollfie Story
• Shoes, thigh-high sock, skirt from Sunny World Tabao
• Kimono from my friend's shop, Hina Garden

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 !

 Photo from volks.co.jp

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.

Posted my first BJD Vlog ! Doll Outfits Haul #1

He-ya ! :D

So, I got my doll outfits from 2 month ago shopping, it's finally in my hand. I would love to share with you guys what I bought for my boys.

These are from tabao (chinese e-bay kind of website) and I could find cheap yet good doll accessories here!
I can't understand Chinese so I asked my friend to assist me on shop.

Pro is the items are cheap compare if you bought from other else, however the contrary are, you have to be careful on the sizes, some picture may not look as actual product and item quality, you either get very good or super bad.

Watch it here , I upload in Youtube.




 Thank you for watching !
