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)

Finally I've Open Them =.= (Haul)

This is a short post regarding my overdue parcels / boxes, not on delivery but opening them. I swear that my excitement is when purchasing and waiting them to arrive. Once I got them, I don't open asap like other collector.

It's maybe because I intended to record the unboxing process. However, I didn't expect they piled up with 3 months plus due.

So let's get open them and see what's good in the bundle.

P/S : These items I received before I went Dollpaca in Bangkok, Thailand.

Dollpaca 2016 's Haul

Dollpaca Facebook Page

Welcome to another exciting presentation of stuff  I bought for my collection ! ( especially for my dollies hehe..) Last early October, I went to Bangkok, Thailand for the doll convention. This is my first oversea convention and I was so excited.

Thailand has been amazing. I traveled with 7 friends, including my husband. We went for 3 days 2 night. (8 - 10 October 2016)
(I know it's quick >.< , I should take longer holidays ) I love Thailand food, the spice level is perfect. The street snacks really satisfy my taste buds. Did I mention, the food there are cheap ? The boundaries we had was distance to travel, that's why we stock our food supply from 7-11 store for breakfast and late snack. However, compare to the price in Malaysia, 7-11 is not really convenient for us because the price is slight expensive from retailers.

I did a vlog for the  my walk through the event, so if you would like to see how's the event look like, play the video :

After roamed the hall for like 3 hours plus, the bag of regret has been brought back.

Shall we see what's inside?

Watch me Unboxing Gudetama Cafe Re-MeNT / ぐでたまカフェ リーメント [Review]

Oh lookie ! What I got here. It's my first Re-MeNT and it's the new sensation character from Sanrio, Gudetama / ぐでた! (or the egg dude, some people called him) There are more Re-Ment Gudetama series, mine one is called Gudetama Cafe / ぐでたまカフェ. It's a series of food sets with Gudetama on them because he's an egg, lol.

I bought this at local shop in my area named XL-Shop, it has both physical and online store. The online store link is : XL-ShopDotcom . I got Gudetama Cafe for RM128 . Hehe, Re-MeNT is not cheap even they came is small sizes, about 1/6 or 1/12 scale.

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.

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.

Watch me playing Japanese candy, Kracie Dodotto Tsubupyon | どどっと つぶぴょん どどっとつぶぴょん [Review]

Ah, finally I completed the video. I was keeping this under me for like 3-4 months? Oh well, let me introduce you Japan's trend. 

This not like our normal candy. You have to some sort of preparing / playing with it before its ready to eat. According to the website seller description :

Dodotto Candy is a new Japanese Do-It-Yourself candy making kit from Kracie, the makers of Popin Cookin. This very affordable, and jaw-dropping, product is safe and fun for children and adults of all ages. All the products in this brilliantly designed intellectual education candy series allow you and your friends to mold and create realistic looking edible sweets. - Source

I watched a lot of Japanese candy video in YouTube before including this one. One day I saw this candy on sale in my local Japan-theme shop. To fulfill my curiosity, I bought this to give it a try.

The candy is quite pricey though, around 4usd.

With a help from my friend, we record the video together when I demonstrate the candy making process. Do watch it, because it's super fun ~ :D

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

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 !

Crobidoll Haul #1 Review

Soooo... I decided to host a Group Order (GO), it's my first time for doing GO!
Wigs for Chiyo is one of my doll plan this year and the time has come for me to get for her (..or she'll get mad :p)

These was a quite long hold GO due to lack of participants, around 1 month half - 2 month. In beginning , the GO hostesses have 2 person but then retreated, and so along 1 participant. Thus, only me left and I was lucky to have 2 kind person to join my mini GO.

The GO was a success. Crobi does reply Q&A quick within 24 hour and once you confirm your order with payment, surprisingly they e-mail me on the same day, my order was on shipping already. (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ (what a quick service ! and luckily the items are in the stock) I was so excited to have this speedy service since we all know, deep inside we are all impatient to receive the item we order.

• Date of Order : 10th April 2014
• Date Item Shipping : 10 April 2014
• Date Item Arrived  : 16 April 2014
• Location : Korea > Malaysia

Let's see what I got ..

Review : Mako Eyes

This is a quick review. Actually, I received these eyes like few weeks ago, but now I managed to complete a good report of it. ┐(‘～`；)┌

Warning : My camera doesn't provide me very good macro pictures. So, there are non good quality pictures included.

Top : Dream of Doll Acrylic Eyes

Bottom : Urethane Mako Eyes

I joined a local group order (GO) for Mako Eyes (www.makoeyes.com) to save of shipping fee. Plus, I really wanted to get new eyes for Chiyo.

Take a note that this is my first eyes purchase, I was fortunate to found someone did the GO and Makoeyes received good feedback on their eyes. Even the price isn't bad, it's 25USD each pair.

I purchased 2 pair of eyes which are :
 ● AM-016    (16mm) [link]
 ● CAPa-019 (14mm) [link]

*I requested AM-016 without the glitters due to my personal perception,
glitters aren't natural.

The eyes arrived on 15 March 2014.  The eyes took 2-3 weeks to ship. Quite sometime, I guess they don't have ready stock, eyes made based on order received.

Once I got home, I took some quick pictures and do the comparison.

Chiyo was excited for the new eyes!

Chocobi (チョコビ) is REAL !!

I'm sure you know the famous Japan's icon, Crayon Shin Chan (クレヨンしんちゃん). I grown up with this animation and it's still my favorite ! (I still collect the comic book).

Do you know what is Shin Chan's favorite snack? It's Chocobi (チョコビ). Maybe it stands as Chocolate Biscuit?

*credits image to Google

One day I went to local shopping mall, I found a Japanese store. The first thing I saw was a stack of Chocobis and I was like "whatttttttttt...", I can't miss this to get this. It was manufactured by Tohato/ Bandai.

Review : Volks Kuonji Alice's Penguin Costume

I noticed on this costume from a friend of mine, who wore it on his Dream Dolfie doll at Comic Fiesta 2013.

I can't help but that is the most cutest thing I ever saw! However, I didn't get the chance to hug it) T~T

One fine day, on 6th February 2014, a friend of mine in facebook posted that she buying the penguin costume. I was surprise the costume re-sell again. It's a limited Volks item. Without any hesitation, I went to the website and bought it. I was in tight budget but I feel I can't miss, if not buy now, when it's going to sell again?

Thus I purchased the costume with price 13,936 yen (include tax, fee & delivery). Original price is 11,340 yen (include fee). I paid using Paypal.
Volks delivers their item within 1 week, and I got mine on 18th February 2014.

*knock-knock* Parcel arrived on my office :3 and I'm unboxing at home.
