Yamato turns it around with Knee Socks

I haven't been a fan of Yamato's work for quite some time. When I first started collecting figures they were more readily available and I owned a few but after I started finding better quality pieces I sold them all since they were so horrible. I haven't bought a Yamato figure in so many years but recently… [more]

Yoko in a Little Moda Dress

One of the awesome things I love about Etsy is fniding other talented people who make amazing things you end up buying. One thing I spotted was this adorable dress for a Dollfie Dream. But Alas since Yoko is such a busty girl it's hard to find outfits that fit her and I almost passed. That was until… [more]

HimeKuri Girls Bianca & Nero

Once again my boredom overcame me, and the end result was a subpar photo shoot. I really need to take a class or something to make much better shoots. I’m overall happy with the end result but this one took the longest to shoot out off all the shoots I’ve done in the past. I did the Hime Kuri girls this time around since there seems to be a lack of photos focused on these lovely lolis. I have both since originally one was mine and the other belonged to my boyfriend, but since he really never cared for his figures i stole them and added them to my ever growing collection. They never really counted as his anyways since i bought them all and i liked them more than he ever did. Now lets cut to the chase already!

As usual overall i liked both figures. I had gotten them as impulse buys, they were on sale in this one store for $35 for both. While i have a habit of only buying figures from series i know and characters i like i didn’t with these two and just bought them for the price and since i liked the character design. I’m glad i did they are both quite cute. There aren’t any issues with paint on either figure and the face and pose are quite cute. I do however wish they were cast off. On Mode Nero it almost seems as she could be but alas she is not, but then they would but much more expensive if they were. But honestly there was no point in me getting either, if it hadn’t been for the amazing price i wouldn’t have bothered. Not that i regret it now, it’s more of that i know myself and if i had paid more then i would have regretted it.

If you like the character design and have been eying them for some time then go ahead and snag one while you can. But if you didn’t really have the need to own either then there is no hurry to run and own your own as nothing about either screams buy me.

    I’ve always wanted the black version but everytime I wanted to buy her, she just gets sold out. Instead I have the white one. Photos aren’t too bad, but I find the bright pink of the background very vivid in contrast to the figures.

    When I read the title, I was like whoa, I didn’t know the HimeKuri girl had names! They still don’t right or do they actually have names?

    They are awesome for the price, at least here in the states, the price of them is super cheap and the quality of the paint and molding is quite good.
