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).

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.
