Dollfie Dream Daughter Erika’s Arrival and The August Four Photo Shoot
For the past month or so, I have been secretly working a large scale Dollfie Dream photo shoot to celebrate the arrival of my fifteenth Dollfie Dream daughter Erika and fourteenth daughter Estel (since Estel never did get a proper photo shoot of her own, partly because I knew I had Erika on the way

Japan Trip Report Arrival and Day 1
How I managed to tour Japan in 3 Days and 4 Nights while hitting all the hot spots like Odaiba Gundam, Evangelion 2.0 You can (not) advance, Kamen Rider Decade Movie - All Riders vs. Dai Shocker with shopping in Akihabara! My assistant Pretty Fräulein Asuka-chan will guide you through all that.
Dollfie Dream Kiriha at AnimeExpo 2010 in Los Angeles
I have always heard about how Anime Expo is one of the largest anime convention in North America but I have never once thought about going there myself in previous years. However, the convergence of various factors this year including the chance of meeting some of the friends I have made online at figure.fm, a trip to Volks USA and meeting Danny in person were enough to persuade me to make this journey. So, for this past weekend, I have picked my most pampered Dollfie Dream, DD娃娃 Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 to accompany me to Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles!

Dollfie Dream Airi ~ Infernal Tempter ~ Photo Shoot
It's been a few days since Airi arrived at my residence, and I have to admit that I have grown to like her more and more as each day gone by. So it's natural that I put together a photo shoot for her with a proper background~ I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do :)
Dollfie Dream Family Photo + DD Gathering Update + OTACOOL
I originally planned to hold on to this group photo session before the Dollfie Dream Theater storyline has a chance to catch up and introduce the new character as a surprise element, but Volks USA has informed me yesterday that I have just hit the "surprise element" deadline >.>;;; Anyway, the long and short of it is that I have picked up a 2nd Sasara back in Hometown Nagoya 4 After Event party...

Dollfie Dream Asuka, Rin and Saber Photo Session
Been quiet for the past couple of days, but I finally started to feel better for the past day so I decided to catch this chance to go out with my Dollfie Daughters again. The main objective this time was to correct a few oversights I had in the last outing so I had to take DD Asuka アスカ and DD Rin 遠坂 凛 out again, but that would be a tad too dry just to keep taking photos of those two so I decided to take DD Saber out with me as well.

Feena’s normal end,Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
It's been almost two weeks since I started this Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel marathon run project which includes the original Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na Visual Novel (2005) August soft, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Brighter than dawning blue- (2009) Aria soft and Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na -Moonlight Cradle- (2009) August soft, it's a massive undertaking that I have never attempted before. But after over a week worth of effort, I am finally getting close to the midway point. This project really started when I redecorated my room with three Feena fam Earthlight Dakimakuras and one bath towel, then all of a sudden I wondered about how much do I really know about her.
Dollfie Dream Saber X Buckingham Palace
How long has it been since I acquired the cloak for Saber? Hmm ever since Airi arrived? Yeah, I been wanting to do a Saber solo shoot out for that long, but laziness and procrastination delayed it for this long! Errr, not really, I was busy with other stuff and had the lighting setup packed away and didn't pull them back out until just recently. Anyway, I been wanting to do this shoot out with Saber standing in front of the Buckingham Palace and I have finally done it! I think I managed to pack a few pretty good shots in there, hopefully you would enjoy them as much as I did :D

Natsuki Takamizawa’s end, Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
I am just going to say it to get it off my chest, Natsuki Takamizawa (鷹見沢 菜月) deserves more attention than she is getting! Ok, while I don't think Natsuki is in the same league as Feena in terms of elegance and beauty, and she may just be a plain Jane next door neighborhood girl; but she is quite cute in her own rights, I don't understand why there hasn't been a single figure made of her yet.

The Thirteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter’s Arrival ~Kuze Kiriha~
It has been a long wait since I have won the bloodiest auction battle I have ever participated in order to win the right to bring one of the rarest Dollfie Dream Kuze Kiriha 紅瀬桐葉 home, released at Kyoto 5 of 2008, but her appearances in Yahoo Japan Auction is considerably more rare than Dollfie Dream before her such as Feena Fam Earthlight and Estel Freesia, Dollfie Dream that released along with her, such as Erika Sendo; and Dollfie Dream that released after her, such as Saber, Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami.
Dollfie Dream Kiriha X Sasara with School Swimsuit Maid & He is My Master Maid set
It's been another intense camera action day as I have a lot on my agenda. The first order of business is to have two of my lovely daughters to try out the two of the most adorable maid dress set from Kyoto 7, Sasara School Swimsuit Maid and He is My Master Maid Dress set. There is no argument for who should wear the School Swimsuit Maid, but there was room for debate for the He is My Master Dress set, I finally decided to have Kiriha model for us, why Kiriha? Because she is my most pampered daughter! There will be some hints of yuri action here and there in this photo session, as I finally come to term to fulfill the promise I made way back to take some yuri photos for my daughters XD. Please enjoy~

Adopt a Dollfie Dream Sasara Contest Details
A few weeks ago I announced that I will be holding an Adopt a Sasara Contest and I have spent the last couple of weeks trying decide on a contest format that is fair and have the ability to incorporate my own opinion as well as public opinion and finally, to test the contestants' knowledge about Sasara! I have actually decided on the contest format some time ago but since we are drawing close to December, I think it's best to get the contest started, the intent is of course to have Sasara arrive at her new home before Christmas.

Estel Freesia’s end, Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro na, 夜明け前より瑠璃色な
Alright, so I finally made it to the new cast on the PS2 port version Estel Freesia. What can I say about her? Estel is quite a tsundere, more than Natsuki (especially after I started her Moonlight Cradle arc) and definitely a tough nut to crack! I am going to try a slightly different approach and compact her story a bit more, Feena's story was way too long and I probably had way too much details in the last writeup.
Dollfie Dream Dynamite Bunny Girls ~Happy Easter Photo Shoot~
Whether or not you believe in Easter, there is never too many of bunny girls or chocolate eggs... so, for the sake of more bunny girls and chocolate eggs; I have decided to have two of my Dollfie Dream cosplay as bunny girls for some sexy bunny girls theme photo, please enjoy~

ToHeart 2 PC version Kusugawa Sasara Part 1
Ever since the announcement of Dollfie Dream Sasara 久寿川 ささら by Volks a few days ago, I have assigned utmost priority to learn about Sasara's story. It's funny that I have been putting it off for more than a year, and I know I have been wanting to do it but the announcement of DD Sasara gave me the final nudge in the back I needed to start another visual novel marathon. I suppose this is my first Leaf game as well.
Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering Sixteen Daughters Version
A few days ago, I welcomed my Sixteenth Dollfie Dream Daughter DD娃娃 人偶 Matou Sakura to my family; and I had Saber, Rin and Ecchi Lion came out to gave Sakura a warm welcome; but that was not all that I had in mind! The number sixteenth daughter also mark the completion of a Platoon!! Since such a significant milestone cannot be ignored or overlooked.... so I have decided to summon all of my daughters together for a full family portrait (it's been a while since I did the last family photo)! This special event is also know as Dollfie Dream Daughters Grand Glorious Gathering, DDDGGG for short!

Ah man, six hundred bucks is a lot of bucks for Sasara. The thing is, if I had a ton of money, Sasara would be a fine #2 Dollfie (or #8), but since I really only have the money or space for one doll, it has to be the right one, and I’m not sure if Sasara is that; I really like her outfit and character design but I think I’d want a more neutral facial expression.
Tier´s last blog ..Marie Mamiya from Starless (NSFW)
You’re right about Sasara’s facial expression, but I have already adopted 7 other dollfie with neutral to smiley expressions so far and Sasara would be a neat addition to my family.
Noooo! This is what I’ve always wanted and in the month of my birthday, but the money just isn’t in place for me to try, arrrrg! I really want that Louise dollfie and I would drop the money for her without second thought if only this were March of next year rather than now. I wish they took payment plans.. For some reason I really have my heart set on that Louise dollfie but it’ll probably be a lot more expensive and harder to get by the time I’m able to get her. Oh well, I guess it’s just not my time to become a dollfie owner just yet.
Persocom´s last blog ..Sonsaku Hakufu Figma
Ummm, perhaps you can try to shop for credit card deals? I was recently offered a no interest credit card on purchase for 1 year by HSBC, that’s more than enough for you to make ends meet I think? Louise does look cute, but I think I am going to take a pass at her since I still don’t know anything about her.
Care to proxy for me? I’d gladly cover for whatever surcharges you may incur. XD
Coffee, I think I can only enter for one unique Dollfie at a time. I will enter for the USA lottery and if I win there there will be one less competition at least!
So which one are u trying win?
I would recommend the Louise one but I read u haven’t watched the series.
Once u start, u will become a Louise fan and for sure u will want her. xD
Good luck mate.^^
Optic´s last blog ..Music Monday ~ Inoue Hikari – Hitotsu no Negai
I have been curious about Louise but I don’t think I like her PVC figurines so far. It’s time to use the selective ignorant card! Going for Sasara this time after playing her story, she is a nice girl at heart and would fill the void of the “insecure girl” role in my family.
Sasara is so beautiful I will try to win the lottery, if I do it will be my first dollfie ^^
Greetings GebGeb, welcome to the world of Dollfie Dream! Have you been to Dannychoo.com and Figure.fm? There is a fairly large community over there and we frequently share pictures, experience with our dollfie dream there. Volks USA lottery is just one of many ways to obtain your dream dollfie, there is also the After event lottery in Volks International website. If you have any questions regarding Dollfie Dream, feel free to drop them here and I will do my best to answer, or over at Dannychoo.com and figure.fm
oh you’re so nice
actually my dream dollfie is rin tohsaka but I can’t find her anymore for less than 600$ (this is my budget) so I will try my best to get Sasara since she is my fav character from to heart, I’m even working on a cosplay of her 
can you give me more info on how the after event lottery work?
thanks a lot and I love your collection you’re so lucky
feena is sooo lovely
You’re quite welcome here~ So you are already familiar with Sasara’s story in game? Would you care to read the summaries I wrote for her?
ToHeart 2 PC version Kusugawa Sasara Part 1
ToHeart 2 PC version Kusugawa Sasara Part 2
Sasara is quite adorable indeed, I recently finished her game arc and she is very unique in a way and I enjoyed her story.
Ah, DD Rin would be difficult to obtain in the price range you suggested, the aftermarket price usually go up by 15% for popular DD.
You can visit Volks International for their after event lottery, you have to become a registered user first before you can participate in the AE event. Details for the AE event is not yet released so I don’t know how they plan to handle it. It all depends on their inventory level. Like I mention earlier in my post, AE lottery will get delivered sooner than USA lottery and they are delivered by EMS. And that’s how I got Rin because I got Fate but lost Rin in the USA lottery.
I will be sure to make another post when the format of the AE event is decided.
^^; thankyou, I am a Feena fan
Do you have a email? there is a few questions I would like to ask like did you get all your doll out of volks? do you think I can find rin under 1000$? Actually i’m going to find a job soon and my dream is to have feena, escalayer, rin and sasara but I don’t know if they are still findable (I know they are like 4000$ for escalayer, 2000 for rin on ebay O.o) I’m kinda a noob with dollfie, I’m a figure collector i’ve got like 500 of them and recently I discover on danny choo the beautiful dollfie dream so i’m planning to sell my collection to own some doll
here is my email garnet_214@hotmail.com
thanks a lot fro taking time to answer me
You have surprisingly close interest to mine, Feena, Escalayer, Rin and Sasara lol
A fellow figurine collector, I see I see. I become a Dollfie Dream collector after I begin visiting Dannychoo.com on a daily basis lol. Dollfie Dream are just so much more than fixed pose PVC figurine 
I can understand.
Oh you don’t want to go to ebay, the auction sellers on ebay inflate the price a lot. The place you want to go is Yahoo Japan Auction and you want to use an auction deputy service like Goody-Japan I have documented my experience through this post Yahoo Japan Auction and I. You may want to read it first. In my case there, I spent a little over $900 USD for Escalayer.
Yes, I am sure you can still get Escalayer, Feena and Rin through the auction market and they generally cost around 75000 to 85000 yen. The auction deputy service will charge a 10% service fee which will add about 7500 to 8500 yen to your total cost, and in the whole scheme of things, seems like a small fee to pay in my opinion. Rin is still very active in the auction market, Feena and Escalayer are not as active but you can still get them if you have patience.
If you still have more questions, you are welcomed to drop them here or send to my email address wolfheinrich at hotmail dot com
thanks, how do you search in yahoo japan I don’t quite understand, what character I need to enter to search for dollfie dream?
You can try this link provided by goody-japan
That should get you started, if you want to search on your own, just cut and paste the character you want in Japanese and add DD at the end that will bring up the result you need. Good luck on your hunt.
I draw you a little gift because you helped me a lot
thanks so much
