Words cannot fully describe how much I adored this movie. It was done so well that I really want to go back and see it a few more times, just to bask in it’s wondrous glory! I’m a huge movie person, not a movie review person really, but I do love films. Ok, going back to this movie…

It was done so well! First, I loved how not once in the entire movie did the cowboys call them aliens. NOT ONCE! While I’m not fond of movies that have religious overtones, the inclusion of religious terminology is in line with what it would have been during that era. Back then, they did not understand the concept of Aliens and UFOs as we do now, and so calling them Demons sent by Satan isn’t farfetched. I did like how they explained how Jake (Daniel Craig) got his arm shooter thingy. It wasn’t anything silly or really far out there, but more like something a bad ass cowboy like him would have done! I’m trying to explain how much I liked this movie without revealing any spoilers, but it’s hard! OK! I’ll just tell you this is an awesome movie, totally go see it! I fully enjoyed myself and want to go see it again!

This last Saturday a friend of mine ddh4mster threw an After Anime Expo potluck bbq party. Since the Majority of us were DD owners how could we not turn it into a mini doll meet? It was a nice way to help get over the Con Blues, after every Anime Expo my group of friends and myself get a little depressed that the festivities are over. This year however having the party and being able to hang out with friends that I wasn’t able to see during Anime Expo was a great way to spend the weekend after Anime Expo!

Beatrice decided she wanted to try on Yoko’s outfit… Seems poor Yoko got the short end of the stick.

Yoko looks so sweet with the smaller bust yet you can’t tell that it’s much smaller since they are so voluptuous.

Beatrice looks great with the DDdy body!

Sweet Yoko gets some cleavage!

Look no bra!

Lily decided to join in and try on Yoko’s outfit as well!

Suika got some boobs!

Loli Beato was the most unsettling of the bunch

Yoko Lily was so pretty! Yoko looks so much sweeter with the smaller bust as well!

Suika in a tree finishing off her beer!

All the girls!

Max’s Beatrice looks so lovely in this wig! Since it’s the same color as the default wig it looks like she let down her hair!

Yoko just loves sitting in a tree!

Yoko and Lily are now the best of friends!

This party was a blast, got to see so many of my friends and I hope to do more parties like this more often!

During the Charity Auction that Anime Expo puts on every year one of the awesome things for sale as this White Daruma signed by the Guests of Honor from AX ’11. Our own Marc Perez CEO and Chairman of the Board of SPJA bought this for himself and came by to our set for AX Live and asked us to fill in the right eye to signify Anime Expo ’11 being officially over! It was an honor and I bring to you pictures to be able to see all the amazing signatures on this beautiful white Daruma!

It was an honor to sign in the eye, Jason did the AX Live and I did the circle, eyelashes and the ’11. Maybe we’ll have to do this as a new tradition?

While at Anime Expo 2011, I had the distinct honor, privilege, and pleasure of sitting down and picking the brain of Good Smile Company’s CEO, Takanori Aki. Personally, I have been making repeated requests at the SPJA office to bring him down to Anime Expo and when I was informed that he would be coming as an Industry guest, I knew I had to have a few minutes with him. While AX Live did get to interview him, I sadly had a conflicting engagement to attend to. So while our interview with him will be posted soon, the questions were all questions I had provided as the resident Figure Expert. But afterwords, I was very pleased to find out he had more time and was able to come down for a small meet and greet and let me ask him some more questions of my own! While this interview was not recorded, I soaked it all up to bring you the amazing things I found out about Good Smile Company and why they continue to be one of my favorite figure companies out there!!

One of the many things I asked was how does the GSC umbrella work regarding companies such as Gift, Freeing, Max Factory, Phat Company and more.

He stated how they are all separate companies that he funds either through his own personal money or through GSC, that he wishes these companies to be able to focus solely on designing and making quality work without worrying about the logistics and financial parts of the business, so they can grow and produce quality work. Hearing this made me love this company so much more, It’s not a competition between them, but they collaborate to make better and better work! For a company to be able to be under the GSC umbrella and be able to focus on just making amazing pieces and not worry about marketing, distribution and more means they can focus on just quality and making more and more amazing items for us!

I asked with the laws in japan regarding censorship work regarding ecchi/naughty figures. He told me how the law is still lax enough regarding figures, since it’s not “pornographic” to them but instead “works of art.” I couldn’t agree more, I get asked so often what do I feel about naughty figures, while they are sometimes quite graphic, to me they are more artistic than pornographic!

I asked if they had any plans to release a series of figures geared towards women in the vain of the GEM series by Megahouse and the Altair series from Alter. Aki-san stated that they currently don’t have any plans and that in his experience most women prefer the female designs. He then asked me if they should go into making female figures. I told him how I personally love them all, Female and Male figures, but that many of my readers ask why there aren’t more male figures. I loved how he asked me for my input as a figure collector and as a female.

Meeting Aki-san was so amazing, while I joked on AX Live that I would cry, I will honestly tell you I kept my composure and was so grateful for this meeting. He also thanked me for having so many GSC figures and supporting them not only through my site but also through AX Live’s Toybox. I got his autograph and while I had my Rin Tohsaka figure with me I didn’t ask to sign that too since I already had the board signed. Now one life goal down, now to head to japan and see Wonfest and go eat at the GSC Cafe!

There will be a video later that I’ll post here that Jason from AX Live did with Aki-san, He asked some of the questions I always wanted to ask so you’ll see that soon!

Anime Expo 2011 was amazing! It keeps getting better and better for me and I’m ever so grateful for the opportunities I’ve experienced and the people I’ve met! Meeting Aki-san was a dream of mine and finally meeting him was just a huge highlight!

At Anime Expo this past weekend, one of the booths had some fun Itashas, one of which belonged to my boyfriend, Kisuka. While walking around the Exhibit hall we bumped into my good friend Maridah in Mirai cosplay and had the cutest idea! Take pictures of Mirai driving the Mirai Car!

Vroom Vroom!

Not many pictures as sadly there was not much time, but it seemed to be a hit once she got in the car since everyone was taking pictures! I’m so glad Danny choose Kisuka’s car! When Danny called me to let me know he chose Kisuka’s car, Kisuka was so excited! He plans to keep his car an Itasha for as long as he possibly can! Now I need to make my car an Itasha since I’m so jealous!

At this past Anime Expo 2011 I got some loot while there, while I don’t usually do Loot posts I’m actually really proud of the little bit of anime related merchandise I got this year! First here some cute kitty paws, a tail, an Adipose, Kyubei and CRXThrasher came by and gave me this adorable Mini Dakimakura for Dollfie Yoko!

Stopped by the Level-up Studios booth for the Nyancat shirt, I knew I was going to get this shirt no matter what, I’m so glad they came down to AX so i was able to get one in person! Also couldn’t leave without the Giga Pudding shirt from J-list.

As you can see I adore my Otaku shirts and also got this cute Luka shirt from Kinokuniya and the Official Anime Expo 2011 shirt!

More J-list goodies with the Kyubei shirt. Also the Mikunopolis booth has this adorable Hello Kitty X Miku shirt that I couldn’t live without!

Also got the Kalafina tour shirt and my AX Staff Polo!

I almost never buy fan art at the artist alley, but this year there was some amazing artwork I couldn’t pass on! Plus the good people at Sanshee.com gave me the Fakku poster! Such wonderful people! I can’t wait to see them at AX Again!

Had a new friend Zar come by with this awesome art, he had it where I only saw the Kamina then had me flip it over to see Yoko holding a Hanako Dakimakura, I was so overwhelmed I cried on the spot! I love all of you guys so much and I never expect you to do these things for me and they honestly mean so much to me! I’m going to get it framed!!

The Miku posters I scored at con, I heard later that the Toyota booth had different posters on different days and wish I knew as I would have gone by to get the other posters too!!

Staff get their own customized badge art and of course I choose Dollfie Yoko for mine, I was told it might not be acceptable since she’s a little ecchi but seemed that she got past!

Closer look at my Badge and Lanyard, filled it up with pins as I do every year!

Some pencil boards that I honestly won’t use but only got since it’s Card Captor Sakura merchandise and I adore the series too much to not buy anything legit I can find! Also found this amazing mouse of Snow Miku and that it glows and changes colors! My laptop needed a mouse for use at AX Live so while it was about $65 I’m glad I got it if only for the Miku factor! Also got that adorable new Iphone case for if mine ever breaks on me

Got my Mirai Figma at Kid Nemo as well as I got Danny to sign it!

Also all but the white turtle phone charm are from Anime Expo, two Miku charms, Yoko, Kamina and the cutest Ika Musume!!

I’m really glad of my purchases at Anime Expo this past weekend, I didn’t make very many figure purchases as the figures I really wanted AKA Alter Bounty Hunter Yoko and Max Factory Real Image Yoko weren’t on sale anywhere I’m so sad it’s over but I’m excited for next year! Now to save my money again for next year’s Anime Expo!

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!
