Over the past year since I have entered the world of Dollfie Dream, I have mistakenly allowed some of my most desired items slipped past my grasp.  I waited for months and months without finding them again, and I was left with pondering why I didn’t try harder when the chance was available.  This past two months of 2010 has been especially meaningful to me, since quite a few of the items I missed out on has reappeared in front of me.  This time I wasn’t going to let them slip pass me again!  A pretty big haul that is, but I am very happy that I have finally gotten them in my hands!  So, let’s take a look at them, shall we?

I have been after the Saber Alter dress ever since I got into the world of Dollfie Dream, but for some reason the dress has always eluded me in one way or another.. whether it was losing out on the bidding war or the set was incomplete.. anyway, a few weeks ago I spotted an auction for an after market look-alike to Saber Alter’s costume for DDDy body, I wasted little time to try to get my hands on it.  The package has arrived today and I am too excited for words so I have my first daughter Escalayer tried it out immediately!

The dress came well packaged and is lined with white cloth all the way inside so I don’t think I have to worry about staining, but I will do my due diligence and inspect Escalayer after 24 hours~

I guess Volks somehow knew I have been scratching my head to find a way to put together the all too famous Sasara School Swimsuit Maid costume, I have just about every other pieces figured out but not the hand warmer… I was going to have Sasara borrow that from Rina’s stage idol set but Rina won’t arrive until some time in May or June… but Volks has answered my plea and is releasing the costume as Kyoto 7 limited item!!!!  Thank god it’s a limited item, I don’t want to fight the the website congestion that is sure to happen in the After Event sale.

As we approach the 2nd pre-order period for the White Album X Dollfie Dream collaboration project, Volks has released the more refined images of Dollfie Dream Rina and Yuki for us!  I am very pleased to see these refined images of Rina and Yuki as they become much closer to what I would expect them to look like in Dollfie Dream form.

As some of you might recalled, I briefly mentioned in my last post that I expected some tweaks on the new girls and this is exactly the type of tweak I have been looking for!  Yuki looks a bit younger and more innocent and Rina looking sexy and foxy like she is! View Full Article »

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

The other reason I been wanting to do this shoot, is that I am finally ready to change out Saber’s armor for something a little more feminine, plus the armor set really restricted Saber’s pose-ability so I need finish this before I can move on~ View Full Article »

To most of the western civilization, today is probably best described as Valentine’s Day, but to me, as a Chinese, today is Chinese New Year!  The Year of the Tiger!  I forgot how long has it been since Chinese New Year landed on the weekend since I have moved to the states.  So I tried to do something productive today, like cleaning up more space for future daughters!  As a kid, one of the greatest thing about Chinese New Year was the holiday, got to visit relatives, cousins and what not, but the most important of all – Red Pocket!

Last time I talked about how I have discovered Virtual Box (an open source project) that can give a better emulation platform than the standard Windows 7 XP mode, but the down side to the standard Virtual Box solution is that you still need to have a separate XP license in order to go that route.  I have been thinking if we can somehow utilize the free Windows XP license that comes with Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate, that would be the best solution.  I thought about converting the virtual hard drive from the XP mode (.vhd) to something readable by Virtual Box (.vdi), but I soon found out there would be issues with validation since the two emulators are just too different  and would flag the Windows Genuine Advantage even if the OS was already installed and validated.  However, I discovered something else during my search that branched off from the Virtual Box development (benefit of an open source project that is) that is aiming to take advantage of the XP mode free license – VMLite.

A week has passed since my anniversary post and that means it’s time to reveal the figure giveaway contest result!  I have noticed a handful of regular visitors have managed to read to the end of the post and found this giveaway contest!  For those of you who are unaware of this figure giveaway contest, that was because I did not intend on publicizing it and that’s probably how I will conduct future giveaway contest as well.  Now let’s recap on the contest rules:

Under the topic Dollfie Dream Completion Project arrival and other loots, there were three dollfie dream, namely Asuka, Feena and Saber that I acquired through Yahoo Japan Auction, your task here is to guess how much US dollars I have spent to acquire them including auction deputy fee and whatever fee that might have been charged!  Easily right haha… there are hints of how much I have spent on them scattered throughout my blog and in my flickr account. You may not give your answer in Japanese Yen, or it would be wayyyy too easy, the answer must be in 2 decimal places, for example 1000.00 would be your answer if your guess is 1000 US dollars~

And here is the other criteria, you must be a figure.fm member, and you must identify yourself here with your figure.fm username and have posting history there ; because that’s the only way for me to identify you to be an unique individual, and not the same user under the disguise of several usernames.  You have 2 chances to guess the actual dollar amount is, so give me two answers!  The closest answer will be declared as winner and will receive this Max Factory 1/8 Mikuru Adult version!  In the case of multiple answers being correct or closest to the correct answer, the earlier respond will be declared as winner.

I would like to dedicate this post today to send off my oldest wide screen monitor in my family, my Dell 23″ W2306C, it has served my computing need for the past several years.  As one of the earliest generation of wide screen LCD monitor X TV combo, it was not one of the best equipped compare to today’s standard, however, it has served me day and night for the past 3 years or so without fail, it had a weird 1366 X 768 resolution which was terribly inadequate for my computing need..

It was big, it was bulky, but it has a ton of input options, like DVI, VGA, 2 Components, S-Video and 1 composite.  I got it before I really understood all the high definition slangs, at first I was disappointed in the display quality thinking it didn’t look any different than my other LCD, how is this “high definition”??  It was until later did I find out that I had no “high definition” video source to plug into it ….
