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.

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~
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.
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 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.
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
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~
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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...
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 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 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
I have been waiting for the White Album PS3 game for quite some time now, the premium edition I ordered a few months ago has finally arrived. I was hoping for DD Rina 緒方理奈 to arrive about the same time but since Volks International has announced that they have once again pushed back the delivery date for White Album DD to July 7th for international customer, I guess this will have to do. Along side with White Album PS3, there are some other exciting loots that arrived today, let’s take a look at them!
Here I have my loot inspection assistant Feena along with her sisters Kiriha, Rin and Estel to help me with loot inspection~ ( I have a feeling they are just having fun at the back instead of helping Feena out ^^;)
White Album PS3 Limited Edition
Dell Inspiron 11z with Intel SU4100 processor
Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor Prime Lens
Flashpoint rechargeable battery designed for Nikon EN-EL9 (Very cheap)
I been anticipating the release of White Album PS3 game for some time now and since we are close to approaching the release date, I went back to check the Aquaplus website today…. where I was greeted by their renewed site with tons of new info about the game, along with this amazing promotional video!
However, the sad news is the game will be delayed by about a month…. to late June…. well, I will just have to wait until then!
I suppose my 11th daughter Rina will be playing the game along with me!
I have been waiting for the release info of the revamped White Album PS3 game since a few months ago… for some of the regular visitors here, it’s the same old routine of me embarking on a fact finding mission of learning about the story of the characters being release in Dollfie Dream form.
I read some initial review of White Album, but I wasn’t too impressed with the basis of the story at the time, but a few online friends have managed to convince me to give the White Album anime that was being aired last year a try. They thought I would take a liking into Ogata Rina 緒方理奈 because her character is quite unique and devoid of any “moe” character trait that seems to dominate the anime industry in recent years.
This is your last chance to put your pre-order in for the White Album Dollfie Dream girls, the super early pre-order period will end for the Volks USA customers at 6:00pm PST today!
A few days ago, we got a chance to catch a glimpse at the face mold of the actual Rina and Yuki, and as a world renowned Rina expert, I have to say they got the likeness of Rina pretty much dead on!
Let’s take a look at some reference artwork~
Volks went with the brown eyes instead of the blue as shown in the anime, which is understandable because Rina’s original design has brown eyes. View Full Article »
The Super Early Pre-Order period for the White Album Dollfie Dream has finally begun today! And I have obviously completed the preliminary adoption paperwork to bring my 11th daughter Rina, and 12th daughter Yuki home. I have done something unique this time though. This is the first time I am committing to bring new daughters home before seeing their faces. Why would I do that? Am I crazy or something? Well no, it’s all very well calculated, for one, I have already determined to take one of the most elegant bishoujo in recent years -- Ogata Rina home, that’s a given, she needed a proper representation in my harem lineup. And Yuki, pretty much serve the function to that of Nanoha for Fate; I have to pick her up to keep Rina company~
The other purpose, is of course to ensure that Rina would have a color matched partner to perform their Cho-Henshin!
The term Symmetrical Docking is, in contrast to popular believe, a borrowed term from the hot blood super robot show, The King of Braves -- GaoGaiGar. Symmetrical Docking can only be performed when the “SympaRate”, a measure of the synchronization and unity of the blue robot - HyoRyu and the red robot -- EnRyu reaches 100%, the result of their Symmetrical Docked form, also known as Cho Ryu Jin, serves a much greater purpose than what could ever achieve individually. The same criteria applies to my Rina and Yuki, and their combined form would certainly come in handy in the Dollfie Dream Theater as well.
Now, keep in mind that these pre-order bonus are only available for those of us who are willing to put our order in before seeing the final product, as a reward. Volks has no plan to reveal the final product until the 2nd pre-order period, which doesn’t come with the bonus. But in any event, the actual transaction do not take place until mid-March, which means there is still a chance to cancel the order if the final product do not meet your expectation.
There are also some very lovely casual outfits for Rina and Yuki, some preview pictures are available at the Sumika Times Blog. The Yuki dress and boots is my personal favorite among the 3 sets. I am not sure why they are giving Rina those pink boots because she has never wore pink boots within the anime!
The date I have been waiting for the past month or so has finally been announced. The White Album Dollfie Dream Super Early Pre-Order period will begin from January 20th to the end of the month! Those who place their order during the Super Early Pre-Order period will get an extra bonus swimsuit that has been announced before.
The five items that will be available for pre-order are as follow:
For the past couple of days, I have been playing L4D2 with several Punchi Blurbers from figure.fm, it’s been a long time since I had play any PC game for real.. (besides eroge games that is!).
There aren’t many better alternatives to foster better friendship than fighting hordes of Zombies together! View Full Article »
Alright! For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting (me) the White Album Dollfie Dream release schedule and pre-order bonus, here they are! Their English site might take a while to get updated, so I have once again taking the liberty to post some details here.
There are a total of 3 pre-order periods, the super early pre-order will happen in Mid-January with come with the pre-order bonus swimsuit.
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!
