I've been pining vaguely for a hinamatsuri doll set of my own for awhile now... the size of the collection and display however is quite a commitment. So imagine my delight when I noticed "Re-ment Sample Series Hinamatsuri" on the PREORDER list at Hobby Link Japan! A little sleuthing and I scared up the supporting images and the set is as I hoped: a highly detailed miniature 1/6th (probably) complete Hinamatsuri, each set contains part of the display stand and a traditional box.

Available for preorder from several dealers including Hobby Search & HLJ.com!

For more info: Hinamatsuri -
The Japanese Doll Festival (雛祭り, Hina-matsuri?), or Girls' Day.

P.S. I was a very lucky girl and got everything I ordered from the Volks FCS Owners Event thingie! Girls Sailor Dress, white tabi feet, 2 FCS only wigs, one in the new peachy gold color! Now, I just need to wait two months until they show up. Maybe by Christmas, eh?

What better reason to end the silence of Blastmilk.com than...

Volks' new DYNAMITE DOLLFIE DREAM!

Boasting a bust that exceeds even the L bust in size, and a completely new sculpt for the hip and thigh area, it is overflowing with charm and filled to bursting!

Currently only available on complete dolls, not separate. Vive le Blast Milk!

Volks has posted a sentimental history of super dollfie, contests and games, and a nearly complete sketch of their events for the year! This includes TWO US Dolpas for June and November. View: Super Dollfie 10th Anniversary Events Schedule

In conjunction with FDQ. Registration will be through the Volks site, when they post it. It looks like Volks is beta-testing a new store interface on the Japanese side. Neat!

Also: greatest thing about the writer's strike? It sent us scurrying for downloadable content on the internet. Yay for BBC programming! Mr. Kallisti has been on a quest to get me mostly Eastenders (I died a little when they cancelled the series on BBC America), every available costume drama and mystery thriller airing. We just transfer it over via wifi on the TiVo and blammo! Plays like TEEVEE.

New favorite show EVAR: Phoo Action

From the genius who brought you Tank Girl and Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett. Whitey with the red hair back there is wearing Buddha's magic underpants!

(gosh it is hard to get around to posting even when I'm in the moooooood! bizzy, bizzy!)

Wowie, something new-NEW out of the Volks arsenal. Original Fashion Dollfie, Masami (light skinned) & Tomoko (dark, and darker than their normal "tan"!). New dollfie based on the EB Slim bodies, same as Who's That Girl. So they'll have the fashion line-up of the WTG behind them to boot.

I love them! The face-mold looks similar to the romantic Century Models, sweet yet still sassy. Perhaps their trying a different tactic from their fashion Century Models? I don't think they ever appealed much this side of the pond.

Edit: It appears that this is a collaboration with a TV show or... ? If anyone can translate the page above better than I, please inform!

On a side note, I have been slowly working on fixing the glitches with my blog, and have been doing some housecleaning with the categories. Trying to trim them down a bit,and replace too specific categories with tags. You can use the search function or the "tag cloud" list to find specific things like "dollfie" or "unoa" and I've tried to add my doll names in a consistent manner, so you can search on "St. Trinian" and come up with all the posts I've ever made about her. Neat!

I don't usually work piecemeal with the site, but with current time constraints I update a style tag here, some brokey js there. Bleh. I'm still getting settled into the new house. But I've managed to have some quality dolly hobby time, just not documented. Yet. Bwahahaha!
