Japanese Fashion Dolls: 2006 Archives

New Annz: Cotton Sugar and Love Music kimonos!

Placed an order with Volks International yesterday. Noticed they had the dolpa swimsuit set in stock, and we've been needing an excuse to order extra DM unit for our Customize Figure kit.

Not only do they have a long legged CF boy, they've announced Petite Girl! Pictures coming soon.

For you who want a Petit Girl body. A slightly tiny and cute Girl body than before.

More details, coming soon.

^_^

Oh, and I also noticed that the Evangelion CF figures are available on the shopping page. They weren't originally available to the western market for copyright reasons. Maybe they won't let you check out with them in your basket, but it might be worth a try if anyone was pining!

Rune Naito kimono girls!

Available from HLJ.com

And thanks to Talya (and others) who explained the deal with SARS girl!

The one with the long skirt and the dust mask is a "Yankee," a gangster girl - they wore extra-long skirts to hide the bruises from fighting and dust masks to be nominally unrecognizable, IIRC.

I am muy ignorant! Now on to the rest of the line-up...

Sometimes there is nothing better than a whole box of Licca loot from Kanoko! Sigh...

And these are for so-som. I'M SHOPPING FOR HER AGAIN. Doom.

I keep looking at Dal, because... maybe she looks like a leetle Fifi?

Also, what is up with the latest-before-last Dolly Dolly patterns not having visual tutorials!?!?! I rely soley on those for instructions. Now I gots to figger it out just by looking at the pattern pieces alone. Oy!

Clearly I've been busy and missed the internet. :p

Finally! I knew that if I just waited long enough that HLJ.com would get in the Alice & Heidi Rune Dolls. They started showing up on YJP so I've been antsy to bring them home.

So my 1/6th doll collecting has split along two very distinct lines: Gothic & Lolita, and Fairy Tale. I love it. Someday I will have a way of displaying them all attractively in a dust free environment :p for now they rotate in and out of a tiny glass cabinet and la Casa Formica.

On the puppy front: omg I love my dog! Butter seems to be coming along really nicely. We had a really big weekend. Lots of long neighborhood walks. Laura came over with the lovely Gus (a gigantic brindle/akita/whatever mix) last weekend and this to take us to Pt. Isobel, a huge and gorgeous off leash dog park that is just down the road from us. Laura knows dogs and can navigate the crazy dog people, so she is Butter's godmother. Last weekend Butter was all growly at everyone. This weekend she was awesome. She played good curious doggy and didn't growl at anyone. I'm not letting her off leash yet as "come" doesn't come naturally. But I was so proud. And Gus is a really good role model as he's the perfect dog. We also met another Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix. We saw him from across the park, he looked just like butter except w/ a bright ginger coat, a bit larger, and the tips of his ears flopped. We chatted with the owners and marvelled at our dog's similarities.

I still think dog people are crazy, so much noise and fuss! I get overwhelmed a bit by it all, the anxiety doesn't help. But this is fun and I'm getting out and about more, which is awesome.

Time to check out what's new at Azone. Oh look! It's bee girl!

They're putting out cute stuff for Pure Neemo, which I imagine was Azone's answer to the Volks Customize Figure kits (blush: I still need to make mine. eep!). These of course would also look fab on Blythe, except for the headgear, of course.

Also included this month are kitty girl outfits. I think Cat Boy Chris will need a little kitty fairy. Eeeeeeeeeep! Mebbe a Momoko on a Volks dollfie body.

Don't miss the next Mamechiyo Blythe "Strawberry Millefeuille"! LE, of course. Cry.

I really love her, she's pale. Mmmmm, pink and brown.

I still haven't gotten Curiouser Alice girl. I am dumb.

Woot-woot!

Two new complete sets and a buncha new heads! I didn't order in round one, glad I waited. I gots...

With an extra open eye head!

They are le cute. They take reservations now, for shipping end of March. Love the blog.
