Found this Lovely AZONE 50 Kimono Set to make my Dear ♥Miyuki♥ into a Sweet and Beautiful Japanese Lady~  

More Takina spam.   The F3 2.0 has some impressive articulation.    

Here's some photos of my 30MS dolls. I plan to do more customization in the future - I picked up some Sousai Shojo Teien decals to customize their faces - but for now they're in their default state. I found a lot of information and inspiration on 30ms-tsukuro which is a site for Japanese hobbyists to share their builds.  Siana (blue hair): Sozai-chan M body (brown skin) Azone Piconeemo - Ribbon Belt Sailor One Piece Dress Azone 1/12 High Socks Azone 1/12 vinyl loafers Luluce (brown ponytail): 30MS leg & arm parts Color C 30MS one piece swimsuit torso Color C "Chiaki" brand 1/12 outfit (purchased from aliexpress) Azone 1/12 Line Knee Socks Same vinyl loafers as Siana I like the Sozai-chan body more than the 30MS parts, both in sculpting and mobility. The 30MS joints are fragile (brittle?) and stiff, so you have to be very careful posing it, especially when you can't see the joints due to clothing. Maybe I'm just inexperienced with model kits, but I've already accidentally broken a knee joint and an elbow joint. TT_TT Thankfully, 30MS mecha suit arms/legs have much better mobility and durability than the plain ones.  Sozai-chan's joints also have some stiffness, but they seem sturdier than 30MS, so perhaps a different type of plastic was used. Another difference is that Sozai-chan's body parts are made of soft vinyl rather than hard plastic, which makes it more skin-like and lives up to the premium branding. Also, the color match is better than I expected from Japanese blog photos comparing Sozai-chan brown and 30MS color C - which is especially impressive because tan colors between brands rarely match! Finally, everything for 30MS is much less expensive than 1/4 - 1/3 dolls, not to mention easier to store & display due to the small size. I especially love the interchangeable hair parts system. It's so much cheaper than building up a collection of wigs, and IMO, sculpted hair works better than wigs for anime characters.  

I ordered 2 the day orders opened.... And one more on the last day she was available. Wallet-kun hates me, but I'm hoping voting with my wallet shows Volks (and others) that there is demand for the rest of them.

Throwback my ginkgo shoot with Uyuri from last year, I really miss autumn~
