As we approach the final phase of the White Album Dollfie Dream project, we are once again, graced with their presence at the Volks Yokohama Showroom.
I can’t wait to welcome these two girls to my home! What about you?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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 :)
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~
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.
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...
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.
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
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, Kiriha Kuze 紅瀬桐葉 to accompany me to Anime Expo 2010 in Los Angeles!
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.
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.
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~
As we approach the final phase of the White Album Dollfie Dream project, we are once again, graced with their presence at the Volks Yokohama Showroom.
I can’t wait to welcome these two girls to my home! What about you?
There are a few more hours before Easter come to my time zone but some parts of the World is already well into Easter! 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~
Luckily, the Dolpa 22 normal items arrived just in time for this photo shoot, thank you very much Volks USA!
Been an interesting past couple of days, I am still exciting over winning the bid on bringing a brand new Dollfie Dream Kiriha home with me, hopefully she would arrive within the next two weeks or so. The extravagant bidding war over Dollfie Dream Kiriha a few days ago finally lured out another Kiriha parent to put his/her girl up for adoption (which is totally within my expectation), I will keep my eyes out on how this one play out. While I am fairly certain that it will not reach the same price as what I had paid, mine is brand new and un-open, this one is “used”; it would still be interesting to see how many prospective Kiriha parents will show up to claim her. Anyway, since it’s Sunday so I decided to put Escalayer into the Sexy Demon Girl set I recently acquired in the Feburary outfit collection, since I though the color scheme really suits Escalayer’s red hair.

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~
A few days ago I sent my White Album Dollfie Dream Support Message to Volks USA to show my appreciation and support for their White Album Project. The staffs at Volks USA really appreciated my message and told me they would forward my message to their team in Japan. Today, they posted the pictures of my girls in their Sumika Times Blog page!
For those of you who are familiar with my habit, you would probably know that I have fairly strict requirements for knowing the personality and character of a Dollfie Dream before I decide to adopt them, for example, when Volks announced ToHeart 2 Kusugawa Sasara Dollfie Dream, I cast almost everything aside and focused on learning about Sasara. The situation is fairly similar for the White Album Dollfie Dream, I wasn’t too impressed with the story outline at first and thought it is one of those typical harem anime… but a few punchi blurbers in figure.fm have convinced me to at least give the White Album anime a try because they felt I would like Ogata Rina. It didn’t take very long for me to completely fall for Rina’s character, she is intriguing, elegant, beautiful, have more balls than all the men combined in the show! She is most definitely one of the most awesome bishoujo characters I have seen in recent memory. It is very refreshing to see a character like Rina to rise from the recently saturated market of “moe” characters. We need more characters like Rina in anime!
Anyway, after about half way into the White Album anime, I have already decided to take Rina home at the first available opportunity. You might have noticed the White Album Dollfie Dream Support banner in my side bar already
I have been checking the White Album Dollfie Dream page daily as well as the Dollfie Dream blog for any available information, I tracked back to the Yoko/Nia release schedule step by step and determined that we will see something by the end of the year at least and sure enough, Volks has announced more details about 10 days ago in the White Album Dollfie Dream Update that they will be releasing the schedule by the end of the year.
To show our appreciation and support for the White Album design team, my daughters have prepared their very own special message!
Those of you who are familiar with my habit, you would probably know that a new full family daughters group shots are coming soon, that’s right! I love doing group shots and since I already had 5 of them in a group photo, it just feel wrong not to bring the other girls into the picture! Building on the Christmas Theme Photo shoot yesterday, I present to you, the latest Dollfie Dream Daughters Glorious Gathering Group Photo~ Also known as DDDGGG.
Some of you with good memory would remember that I have been wanting to do the full family group photo for a long time, but losing out on Natsuki in the Dollfie Dream Gathering had put a huge delay in that plan, but fortunately, Volks USA came thru and beat their own schedule and had Natsuki arrived before Christmas~
I have been planning a Christmas Theme Photo shoot for some time now, I even picked up a few Santa girl outfit from the Volks Store about a month ago, but the filming of the last edition of the Dollfie Dream Theater (a whopping 46 frames story) has pushed the Christmas Theme Shooting out to the very last minute…. and coinciding with the arriving of my 10th Dollfie Dream Daughter just right before Christmas, I have prepared a special treat for you all~ please enjoy~
Natsuki wasn’t suppose to arrive until next year according to Volks USA schedule, I guess they somehow beat their own schedule by a month, not that I am complaining… I would much rather being able to spend Christmas with all 10 daughters instead of 9

After taking a prolonged break from filming the Dollfie Dream Theater, I have finally picked myself up and continue on the story that has been in the planning stage for several months. It was sort of difficult to get back into the swing of things at first, but I have finally managed to finish this part of the story just right before Christmas. So, without further ado, let me present to you the latest edition of the Dollfie Dream Theater – The New Scenario (in celebration for Christmas, it’s the extra long edition!)
