Kagamine Rin & Len & New Miku outfits!*pic updated*

Maybe Luka made Rin bring some fresh fish and a big bottle of water to make sure she would have something for the flight, not knowing how dangerous that can be in the US. Perhaps poor Rin is just a victim of cirbleepstance. Or perhaps she's just touring Hollywood and Disneyland taking her good sweet time prancing all over Cali.

 

Now I'm just wondering if Len is getting here first or the 06 head I want to mod to look more like the box art. Just wish I could get to the fabric store before he gets here to snag some yellow and cream fleece to make him the banana plush he's already asked for. At least I have Yui's giita to give him.

 

I'm getting so nervous that I don't even know what to do with myself.

One of mine should be delivered today, I think its Rin and Len is stuck in customs XD maybe he will be home tomorrow or thursday.

Good news is Len arrived! Bad news is his keytar broke when I tried to put the strap on on the one side... I already emailed volks about it and am hoping for a good response. I'm really not sure I can fix it since with the small surface area epoxy or other kinds of glue won't have much to hold on to...

Aack, noooo!! I hope you can get the keytar replaced! Your Len looks VERY cute, he's the most optimistic Len I've seen so far! I hope your Rin arrives soon, too.

My Len arrived today! Not sure what I'm going to name him yet or anything, and I don't seem to have any SD boy clothes even though I only collected SD boy resin bjds... Whoops!

 

Len is within my state now, so there is some real hope he might be home tomorrow, and if not, the day after for sure.

So I just opened Rin, and haven't gotten to Len yet. Her wig has this strange crease on the top

From the other user pics I think it's supposed to be there.

 

My Rin has been in customs for three days. Ugh. I guess I'll see her sometime late this week.

Supposed to be there, or just uniformly screwed up? I went back and looked at the product photos, and if it's in those, it's not very pronounced. It does look like there is a crease on one side when she's wearing the Senbonzakura outfit. To me it looks sloppy like she zoned out while flat ironing her hair and left a crease. Sigh.

There is a slight raise in the original product photos, but certainly not what people are actually getting; think its another case of Volks changing things. I'll almost certainly restyle mine when it comes in.

 

The Senbonzakura outfit uses a different wig, so you can't really compare with it (though I don't like the bump on that one either, doesn't look right to me).

I don't like the bump either but I'm not planning on using the default wig so it hasn't bothered me much.

 

Rin still hasn't left Chicago. She's been there for days. Vacation and sight seeing I guess.

youth, Congrats on Rin! Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear that the box got damaged. T__T I hope that you will receive some kind of compensation for it, at least, if not a new box! That's weird about the Made in China sticker, though, neither of my twins' clothes bags had a sticker like that. The clothes themselves have Volks tags in them as usual.

 

I'm starting to get over the box & just accept it's condition. I emailed Volks, but I'm not really expecting anything to come of it.

 

Here's a pic of the sticker on the bag with her clothes. Maybe it fell in there by accident? I opened up Len & there's no sticker on his bag of clothes.

Rin is still held up in customs and I haven't heard anything from volks about Len's broken keytar. I'm probably gonna have to fix it myself somehow.

Rin arrived today. She has been renamed, however.

 

Welcome home, Freya!

 

She was supposed to get a pair of White Dollie Story eyes that I have, but I may just keep the default ones. They're so pretty!

 

Only just arrived

 

And here she joins the family.

 

 

 

She has quite a few imperfections, however. Not sure if I can reach out to volks about any of them.

Split peg, this seems to be common?

 

Loose neck joint as a result of a flaw in the internal frame.

 

I would recommend making the above pic as big as you can to see the flaws.

 

The cut of the vinyl around the top of the foot is just... off.

 

Black dot stain on leg. Not caused by me, I was wearing gloves.

 

So glad I planned on not using her wig.

 

 

 

Also, my Rin's box seems to have sustained damage not in shipping. The shipping box is fine. I didn't drop it at all. But for those of you that have damage too, I think volks was in a huge rush to meet deadlines on doll that should have been preorders but they seem to have taken more lottery winners than ever before.

It makes me regret that I didn't get into the lottery. I wanted a Rin so bad but my luck with lotteries isn't the best, so I just left out. I'm just hoping that they will come to Anime Expo next year and sell them there. Like Miku.

My Len arrived a while ago. Having to take the time to set up video stuff to see if it will work with my current setup.

 

Len: *bangs on the box from the inside* "Hello? Is someone there? Can you let me out?"

 

Me: "Hold on a little while, I'm trying to get a few things done."

 

Len: "You better have a banana for me when I get out! No, make that two!!"

 

Me: *giggles*

SK, that's adorable. Honestly I'm too impatient to wait to set up video stuff for box openings. I rip the package open as soon as physically possible.

 

And Rin finally left customs! Hope she brought me a souvenir from Disneyland.

My twins came home today! Unfortunately, I'm at school for the next week and a half, so I can't open them up and play with them just yet. The wait is such torture

Rin arrived today. She has been renamed, however.

 

Welcome home, Freya!

 

 

The waist peg is the new way they manufacture them, volks have said its to ease tension/stress on the peg.

 

A similar thing happened to my snow miku neck piece, it chipped on both sides under the ball (becuase of the metal pin part?!)

and mine also feels like its broken inside there too, as such her head tends to only pose to one side and wobbles >~<

 

The cut inside the head hole, the cut on the ankle and the black dot in the vinyl all seem like stupid shit cause volks rushed production

 

Sorry to hear of everyone's issues/flaws in the twins , i personally would rather have delays than rushed products but thats just me.....

 

But congrats that theyre arriving home! please continue spamming them til mine arrive XD

Congragulations to everyone! I'm glad that everyone's twins made it, mostly, home safe!

 

More tomorrow once I've had some sleep.

Oh Len is so cute with little glasses!

Haven't had time for a fancy photoshoot yet, but Len arrived too!

 

He's short but poses really well. Here's how he looks next to a DDH-07 on DDS SS-bust body. Finding clothes for him seems like it's going to be a pain since SD Boy stuff is too large.

I heard you can buy the twins at a retail volks store in Japan, which location? I'm thinking of getting a Rin.

 

Rin came in yesterday! Her legs are loose in one place, so her lower legs swing around if her legs are bent. I'll have to fix that, Celia had the same problem so I know what to do, and Len's ankles are loose, making it hard for him to stand. I don't know how to fix that so I may just pick up a new pair of feet for him since they look the same as the girls feet.

 

Also Rin's wig was way over gelled but brushing it out with a fine comb cleared it up no problem and preserved the basic style. The dried gel will flake off if you do this though so be prepared for dolly dandruff.

It's interesting to see that Len's head looks a bit small next to Rin's because I thought it was just a bit small next to Miku's. I swapped out Len's default outfit into Ralph's striped shirt, Eiji's pants, Eiji's wig and Kyoya's glasses so he could be in the bedroom without Tama knowing. Needless to say Len still looks adorable!

 

Tama: "Mommy who is that?"

Me: "Just some neighborhood boy coming to visit..."

Tama: "Oh okay."

 

I have to say that I'm WAY too in love with Len's sculpt in a dark wig. Haven't dressed Tama in Len's outfit yet but I really want to do it soon. I'm really itching to see how he looks in his wig.
