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!

Do you like to take family portrait of your Dollfie Dream Daughters?

Continuing my coverage of Dollfie Dream Asuka goes to Acen from Day 1, there was another Doll Meet arranged by the good folks from Den of Angels on the 2nd day.  There were quite a few more people showed up on the 2nd day since it was on Saturday.

Here is a shot of my lovely Asuka sporting her Rebuild of Evangelion uniform before we headed out!  The shoes were borrowed from Estel’s casual dress set.

Today I took my 2nd Dollfie Dream daughter Asuka to attend one of the biggest anime convention around my area, Anime Central, also known as Acen.  I didn’t plan on going to this event originally, however, fellow blogger Anonymous_Object from Cool & Spicy is traveling across the state line to come to this convention, so I decided to go as well since it would be a good opportunity to see his Yui in person.

There was a Doll meet arranged by the folks from Den of Angels, and here are some of the shots I took at the meet!

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 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.  Ever since I have finished play Fortune Arterial back in January, I have already determined to bring her home… and the wait is finally over!  I hereby present to you, my thirteenth daughter -Kuze Kiriha- 紅瀬桐葉!

To celebrate her arrival, I have Feena, my 4th daughter to come out and introduce her to us!

One of my greatest joy, as a father of 10 Dollfie Dream Daughters (soon to be 12~), for me at least, is to capture their various images in different environments.  Dollfie Dream might not have swappable heads like a figma, but a slight turn of head can easily give off a different aura for any particular photo~

Soon after sending in my first customer gallery submission to Volks USA, I have been thinking about sending the photos I took for Asuka back in late September 2009, some of which I consider as my best work to-date.  I am really proud of how Asuka look in that pink flower bed, I really do!  The staffs at Volks USA were once again very responsive to my submission and told me they will put the pictures up in a few days and sure enough, my 2nd daughter Asuka is featured on their Sumika Times Blog today :)

I have always wanted to go back and do some vintage figure shoot (I guess at least some of you must be bored by the constant Dollfie posts, let’s break it up with something different!), but the lack of proper equipment has prohibited me from doing so.  Some of my earliest prepainted figure collection date back about 7 -9 years or so and the picking were slim back in those days.  PVC figures were no where near as high quality as we see from Good Smile Company or Alter today.  Instead, most of the above average quality figures were cold cast polystone, or just resin figures that you need to paint yourself.  Today, we will take a look at my Evangelion duo that has been part of my earliest collection.  Their quality is of course, not close to the high standard we hold the top tier figure manufacturers today, but they are indeed vintage and we can see just how far the figurine industry has come along!

Weather has turned pretty cool in the past couple of days here in the Windy City, so it’s time to sleep in and spend some more quality time with my daughters!  Another large shipment of Dollfie Clothes arrived on Saturday morning…. and it was decision time… with the growing collection of new clothes arriving, it was getting extremely difficult to resist the prospect of taking new photos with my daughters with some of the new clothes….. and I eventually caved in.  While I still wanted to wait until the Dollfie Dream Theater to catch up on the storyline before unveiling the majority of the new clothes, let’s take a small peek for now!  Experimenting with some new settings with the camera, seems like the result is pretty decent.

More loots have arrived on this fine Saturday afternoon and I am just more than happy to perform a thorough inspection.  Most of the goods that I ordered after I came back from Japan have arrived, and that means the long awaited Dollfie Dream size Decade Driver, Rider Booker and DiEnd Driver, the highly anticipated mini Revoltech Asuka, Bandai Movie version Asuka, Cospa Asuka T-shirts, plus a little more Dollfie Dream outfit and undies have arrived.

Well, I guess luck is on my side after all.  We have a decent weather here in the Midwest and it’s only partly cloudy so the Sun was out most of the day.  So I got to live up to my promise and took my girls out for another photo shoot back at the wonderful flower bed.  I am so happy that I am no longer limited by the memory of the camera, I shot most RAW + JPG today and I got to say it’s a breath of fresh air to be able to do that without any worries!  This is the first time I shot with the RAW format and I got to say, it’s just amazing!  All the exposure and color temperature information are recorded and I can tweak it very easily with the ViewNX software that came with my camera.  A less than perfect shot due to cloud shading is easily fixed with the ViewNX software!  I took a little over 200 shots today but a lot of them were test shots with varying parameters and angle, I think about 10% of them came out just the way I wanted it.  So, without further ado, let me share some of this new set of photos with you, hopefully you would enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

First, let me introduce my new model for the day!  My fifth daughter Rin Tohsaka!

It’s difficult to get a direct shot of Rin without her hair getting in the way, so I have taken a lot more side way shots.

Several of my pre-order I placed over the past couple of months have finally arrived, among those are the Volks Model of Entertainment (M.O.E) 1/7 Fate T. Harlaown , Kotobukiya French Maid Asuka, E2046 Gathering Saber Lily Prepainted, and last but certainly not least is my newly acquired Nikon D5000 with AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm lens!

So far I am very happy with the D5000, it’s got the picture clarity that I have been longing for and while it is more complicated than my previous Sony Cybershot DSC-F707, I am starting to get the hang of it!  Since I am more or less a beginner, please pardon me if I come with a less than perfect focus shot!
