Oh wow, hard to believe that is even yarn! The second pic makes me think you should make him a crazy beard, LOL. Honestly I don't think I have ever seen a BJD with facial hair or a beard, I wonder if that exists . . .

Ralph was just being silly with one of the hair wefts I was working on testing for him. I have seen some BJD with facial hair, but it has always been painted on.

So am I. I've got a lot of crafty tricks under my belt that I can use and I'm already thinking that it just might take all my talent to do them right. And I have a boatload of talent. Not trying to sound self centered or anything, it is just very hard to show them all in a single project. As I've said recently on Twitter, I'm very good at duplicating things (as this pic shows) but that is also the problem a lot of times too. More often than not if something is too good then it often isn't appreciated for all the hard work and brains it took to make it. One small fact about the pic is when I started, I had no idea if I could even do it, or if it would even look like it should. I keep on finding hard projects to do because I have yet to discover where the apex of my ability is.

 

That's why I'm so excited about the overwhelming task of the Kagamines. They are extremely recognizable by a large group of people, especially Vocaloid otaku. So I have hope that someone somewhere will be at least a little blown away by what I can do since it's something that they have a good idea of what the details should be. Plus I have to say that I'll at least have a little delight turning two Miku into other characters.

Today's blog includes tons of pictures of Snow Miku in different wigs: http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/

 

I really like her as a golden blonde! It makes her blue eyes pop.

 

Nice! I really like the platinum blonde and black myself. Really she'd look good in anything though, those eyes are gorgeous.

Hazzah. I ordered her. I nearly forgot. I would have probably had I not gotten a kick in the butt to do it. XD

 

Her fate may end her in dye mattering on how other things go, or I may make her a boy. I'm undecided. Either or way she's definitely not stayin' as Miku.

I'm going to chop her up too, haha. Well kind of. I think I will keep her outfit, wig, etc. but use them on my current Miku. I'll keep the eyes for sure but I'm not sure about the head since it's basically the same as the old one with a slightly different faceup. I might keep it as an "alternate" faceup. She's certainly not going to get to keep her body though. I just don't think I'd really want to pose two Mikus together.

Oh my, that just gave me the frightening image of 3 DD Mikus having an argument in our house. XD It seems like it would end up with nothing but a bunch of hair pulling. You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now. *Sees a blue wig fly across the room* It pretty much would look like when Cinderella's step sisters found her in the outfit the mice made her (Disney ver.)

Now a little worried, but Volks pretty much ships the same way with maybe one layer of bubble wrap. Maybe they'll be more careful with a DD due to it's size & cost.

 

Btw, just thinking about it they can probably quote lower shipping because they using the JP tax/fee that Volks pockets as part of the actual shipping costs.

 

I pulled up some unboxing videos to check this out too, haha . . . yeah looks like most people get a very nice-sized box with a layer of bubble wrap. So crushing would be a threat either way but shocks and jostling I assume are fine, especially because DDs, clothes, etc. aren't really brittle (as in, breaking easily from an impact like rigid figure plastics or glass). So . . . yeah, we'll see.

 

I assume that they are charging "tax" as well because I'm sure Volks would not allow them to sell them at a lower price.

 

Their shipping fee is flat. I'm sure they pay much less than we do per package because of the volume they ship. Also I imagine that a lot of their shipments are local. I'm sure they aren't going to be hurting too much from shipping a few DDs, hehe.

 

In most cases, the 2000¥ flat shipping that GSC charges can be a real pain, especially if you're ordering something small like a rubber strap. Their shipping begs that you order more than one item from them. In this case, it's a steal for EMS and since I've ordered plenty from them, I ordered Miku from GSC rather than Volks. Since I've had to order extra stuff from them many a time in the past to justify that shipping cost they can help me out with cheap EMS for Miku here.

 

I was trying to resist ordering her, did so because she is Snow Miku. Planning on making her Magical Snow outfit for her eventually.

Payment for Snow Miku won't be until the end of June 2016. So everyone has 8 months to save money for her.

Well, well, I thought not. Just as well, so I have time to find a job.

Thanks for the reply.

Aaah I'm so excited. I love Snow Miku a bit more than the original Miku model since Snow Miku has a bit of a cat mouth and blushy cheeks. ^w^ Eyes seem a bit more lively, too.

There is an associated blog in Japanese. http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/entry-12114162804.html


The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be.

“Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction

Sadly, I don't think that kimono is the outfit for sale. Pretty sure it's this: http://www.volks.co.jp/miku/dress0501/

 

And while I love that outfit, and will order it, I would definitely rather have the kimono!

Well, as I understand, Volks actually doing Snow Miku 2012 Dress Set:

https://www.volks.co.jp/sp_d_004_miku_snow201602_jp/?version=jp

Web preorders from February 13 to 29.

I was certain I was gonna shell Miku into an original character of some sort, but after seeing this, I may just keep her fullset AND order that coat! x.x;

There are a few up in YJA too. Volks did a special early release in their stores at the end of January.
