A Woman's Take on Figure Collecting

How a Girl Figures

It’s Awesome Having Otaku Friends!

I’ve got some awesome friends! Just the other day hanging out with my musician buddies for a little jam session. Sadly I was just a tag along since I don’t play any instrument, it was awesome seeing everyone rock out on their Guitars and Harmonica. Some really cool guys! Well why do you wonder I bring up Otakus and rocking out and you see this image of two really awesome Dakimakuras? Simple They were Otakus!

At least three of them for sure, one I just met and wasn’t 100% on but either way! We had gone to a friend’s apartment, he’s a huge Saber fanboy, and he’s got some amazing figures as well! Didn’t take any pictures of his room, but maybe next time I will!

Here’s a little video i took of them jamming before my battery died on me :(

Well again, back to these amazing Dakimakuras! My buddy Charles gave them to me! While he was showing off his anime room, I think he was a little caught off guard on how I’m not ashamed of Nude/Lude figures and I’m actually a huge fan of naughty anime figures! He showed me his amazing Saber Lily Dakimakura and I gushed over I how loved it so much and how I wish I had more than just my Kamina. He then proceeded to show me his entire Dakimakura collection and when I began drooling at seeing the adorable Nanoha and Feito pillow cases he handed them to me and said for me to keep them! Now i want to return the favor and I figure i’ll find something amazing that’s Saber related for him! Any ideas?

You can now follow me on

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    Parents are a bit of a hassle at first, my mom didn’t understand it at first but I explained most of the fandom to her and it made it easier on me.

    Andy Reply:

    ya that’s what im going to do than.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    It takes time, I had it easy that my older brother is a huge fan as well so I did t have to explain much.

    Like the closest thing I have is Shunya’s Rei or his Shoko-tan. Quite tame lol.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    It was hard for me to get into anything naked or showing too much I’d you regard it as art and not as something sexual it’s easier to get silly things

    That reminds me, you still need to do a post on the custom Yoko figure I made you for your birthday. Also because I forgot to take pics of her when she was done. lol!

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    Still no Dakimakura’s for me to own. But of all the ones that I’ve seen across otaku rooms and blogs, your Kamina is still BY FAR my favorite.

    But I may have to consider making a Sebastian one soon, Kuroshitsuji is really pulling me in :) well I should say Sebastian is.

    PS – Remember how I said I had the Lucky Star X Macross prize figures all pre-ordered? Well that fell through, BUT I managed to find the complete set (plushes, little figures, jets, and all) on eBay for the same price I was going to pay for just the 4 main figures. I’m pretty excited.

    [Reply]

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    You can get a custom one like mine! Also congrats on still getting the set, I would have liked to get the rest but I’m so poor :(

    lovelyduckie Reply:

    I might not have gone all the way after this cancellation if you hadn’t done a review on Miyuki. Seeing that the quality was high (for a prize figure) was re-assuring and made me very excited.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    i love my Miyuki/Sheryl!

    I’m so jealous, I wish someone would give me a dakimakura of Fate.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    [Reply]

    Nopy Reply:

    I need to find some friends that collect dakimakura too. The only problem is that I have no clue where to find them.

    [Reply]

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    Anime conventions are a great place to start! I key these guys through either otaku gatherings such as cons and concerts. It’s a great place to make friends!

    Man, I’ve been searching for a good dakimakura, but I can’t find one that my mother would approve of. (Oh snap!)

    congrats on the freebies! now you need to go buy the pillow to stuff inside >:3

    The Exhaust Saber Alter plush is really adorable (http://cgi.ebay.com/Authentic-Fate-Stay-Night-30-cm-Black-Saber-Plush-Doll_W0QQitemZ360204920181QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dde2e575) Her giant head makes her so huggable (^_^)~ And you can even take off her shoes/stockings… to find little white pantsu no doubt!

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    Oh that is adorable! But I’m still a little broke but I’m keeping it in mind

    I’m not sure if you can get it but I suggest getting Saber doujinshi. It’s cheap, original, and sometimes you can find really good art.

    I added you on our blogroll, sorry it took a while.

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    that’s a good idea!

    Nice dakimakura!
    I have three as well (one guy and two girls, too! ), though none of the same ones you have. I really love the Fate one, especially. The colours are so nice together, I love the flow (and the other side is sexxxy, haha ).

    I love a lot of ero figures, but considering how little money I can spend on figures due to bills and other expenses, I always end up just getting my absolute favorites, and they always happen to be the cute and adorable ones, haha. I don’t even really have any with weapons in my collection besides the figma of Fate, and then a Kanu 1/7 figure. I almost got the Canaan and Alphard figures, but ended up passing them for the start of the K-on Alter ones… Can’t be helped, I suppose.

    I wish there were more anime fans and such around my area. We’re few and far between (besides those annoying kids that seem to flock everywhere ), and most of my friends that have figures have them because I bought them for them as gifts. ^^; One of these days, I’ll find more… maybe.

    [Reply]

    Dancing Queen Reply:

    At a time most of my friend’s who had figures had them as gifts from me as well, since they’d never know what figures to get I’d help them in the right direction. Lately with meeting new people (mostly due to meeting my boyfriend’s friends) I’m able to meet other “Otaku” who have such similar interests! For the two dakimakuras I gotta agree and I love Fate a little more. While Pink is my favorite color so Nanoha looks great to me as well, I love the Kimono Fate is wearing and how well it matches her!
