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]
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]
Going to already warn you this is a very picture heavy post. Over 100+ pictures but really not as many as I wish I took. We left LAX at 12:42pm on Tuesday the 20th of March. Only to arrive in Japan 12 hours later Wednesday the 21st of March at 4:30pm. We lost a whole day on the flight but the flight… [more]
More plushies! I love getting custom orders and I love when they are characters I want to make that's even better! I have so many ideaas for new plushies to make, but orders come first so if there is a character you'd like then make that custom order! Of course this time it's the adorable Kagamine… [more]
Went to a Doll Meet up from Den of Angels today with my best friend and my brother. Took Yoko, Suika and my friend Sarah’s Sindri with us and we had a blast!
Mostly pictures we took during the photo competition, I took home second place which didn’t get me a prize but I’ll take an honorable mention! Also as you can see Yoko has scored herself a new wig!
We also finished up some more with Suika’s design, got her horns in today. She looks so amazing now that she’s almost complete!
My Brother sculpted the horns himself and I have to say he did a fine job! The detail is amazing!
Such a cutie!
Yoko wearing just some random clothes I had all thrown together in what became a lovely little outfit for her. Everyone loved the comboe of the dress shirt, obi and maid skirt!
I love this wig, it’s a lovely reddish brown I got from Dollmore. Needed some trimming and some detangling but seems to suit Yoko well enough.
My Friend Sarah’s Doll, his name is Sindri, He’s a Bobobi doll and was a hit at the doll meet.
Many people liked Yoko but she was the only DD at the meet.
Suika herself was the only MDD at the meet as well. Mot of the people there didn’t know of their internal skeleton and were asking many questions. I’m always surprised at meeting people who collect dolls yet don’t know of Dollfie Dreams. I guess I’m used to the Figure.fm community and how DDs are just so much more common now.
One of my favorite shots of Sarah’s doll.
A bit of wind made the wig a little frizzy but I do adore the windblown affect.
Yoko is also wearing a necklace I made for her at the meetup during a friendship bracelet making time.
The meet up was in this one antique shop and I spotted a drawer with little Teddy bears perfect for Yoko.
She cleaned them out!
Yoko seems to love her plushies!
I had a blast at this meetup, I’m sad that most of the photos I took inside during the meetup of other people’s dolls didn’t come out well since the lighting was quite poor inside. Next time I’m bringing some form of a lighting set-up to take much better pictures! I also scored an adorable hoodie for Yoko that once I get some pants for Yoko I’ll show off! I had so much fun and want to do so many more meetups like this! Maybe I’ll even set up some of my own after Anime Expo!
AX Live! Every Thursday at 7pm PST! We’ve been doing Giveaways recently so make sure to check out the show to be able to win some awesome prizes!! Plus every week we give away a 4day badge to the convention for 2011!

I hope you are going to the meet in August.
