Monty Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) I finally got her on Friday but since I was out with my friend most of the weekend (it was thanks to this friend that I have her at all, since they went to Nagoya to get the preorder for me and even managed to get the first batch) I wasn't able to get around to making this thread till now. She's seriously beautiful - since she's my first one I can't really compare her to another first hand but from what i've seen at meetups, events and photos she's probably the cutest DD I've ever seen. She looks adorable from every angle and I'm not sure which one I like best. Here's some pics from right after I unboxed her.

I love her so much...I cant even stop looking at her. Even though I have work to do... Edited March 5, 2020 by Monty *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anna-neko Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) dumb observation on video - you're shirt matches Rin's eyes ... the whole green and blue =P And yes, DD's vinyl is surprisingly soft! It's kinda hilarious with L-busts, as they kinda squish by accident? but omg, Rin is soooooo cute!! Those tiny painted fingernails, and all the precious rick-rack clothes trim, and those gorgeous eyes!! Edited September 6, 2016 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chikemuri Posted September 6, 2016 She is so adorable! Way better than I thought she was going to be. Volks has this problem where their official pics usually do the doll no justice, haha. Looks like Rin has made herself right at home with you~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jossie Posted September 6, 2016 When I first saw photos of Rin and Len, I liked how Len looked a lot better... but now I actually think Rin is way cuter! Congrats; she's adorable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted September 6, 2016 She is so adorable! Way better than I thought she was going to be. Volks has this problem where their official pics usually do the doll no justice, haha. Looks like Rin has made herself right at home with you~ I think it might be cos in most of the pics she's facing straight ahead. There have been times when i've tried to photograph her from that angle and she looks completely different in my photo than she does the doll right in front of me. I dont really get it myself. I'd really like to see comparisons of front-on photos taken with different lenses. But basically for some reason it can make her eyes look way smaller than they actually are. When I first saw the official photos I also thought 'but why arent her eyes bigger?' It was the only thing that very slightly bothered me even though I'd already decided I was getting her. But then once I saw her IRL I realised her eyes are actually really big and cute, and its just weird lens shenanigans I suppose. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seventhfonist Posted September 6, 2016 She is very cute. Congrats! I bet there are a lot of jealous people around. Waiting for lottery results is so difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted September 6, 2016 It is kind of weird being the only person here who has her yet and while I'm worried about upsetting anyone (there was a pretty nasty anon confession about me on one of those doll confession blogs saying I shouldnt be allowed to talk about getting her because not everyone can have her, which seemed completely ridiculous for a forum with the expression purpose of talking about dolls you have - most of which are limited), and figured people want to see owner pics ASAP. I'm going to be posting some more pics soon in the photo board from 1) the Fu kuoka market meet and 2) the Fu kuoka Volks store photo space. She actually caused a bit of a stir at that meetup I went to on Saturday, people did say they were jealous in a joking way but mostly they were overjoyed for the chance to see her in person like that. A few people even said they hadn't bothered entering the lottery but after seeing her they definitely would enter now. So that's the power of how much cuter she is in real life. It was kind of funny later on because I went to the Dollce store after the meet to get her some new shoes and wasnt sure if they would fit her or not so I asked about the sizing - the shopkeeper saw the doll carry bag with me and told me that I was allowed to try the shoes on the doll in the store if that was the one the shoes were for, since the ones on display were only display ones anyway. When I took Rin out of the bag he almost yelled and called the other staff member to come and see. Another staff member who had been busy at the time suddenly reappeared and they silently but urgently beckoned her over and she just covered her mouth in shock. All three of them were absolutely thrilled that she'd graced their shop and they thanked me for bringing her in. To tell the truth these situations were kind of awkward for me because I'm really not a social person and dont really like being the centre of attention, but I have the feeling that Rin sure does. I'd really like her to have some 'sisters' on the forum, though, so she's not the only one, so I'm pretty heavily invested in the lottery results myself. More than ever I wish there was some insight into how many lottery dolls they're actually making. It's a shame littlebirdzoom has to wait a little longer for Len, and I hope there's a million pics once he finally arrives! *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinclair Posted September 6, 2016 Congrats, she is so kawaii! I can't let Miku see these pics because she'll get all on my case for not getting her. sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jossie Posted September 6, 2016 Sharing owner photos is super helpful! And I don't think you should feel bad about being enthused about getting Rin, or showing her to everyone. If I saw someone bringing in Rin I would've probably reacted the same way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elianti Posted September 6, 2016 I love how the part when you put on Rin's wig synced with Kokoro's chorus in the bgm. xD To me a doll really comes to life once they have their eyes and wig(if they're supposed to have one ^^) so it was nice to see Rin semi-"complete" while she's singing that she now had a heart in the background. Listening to Kokoro usually leaves me in tears lol but Rin's just too cute xD I also loveeee how she looks in that pink dress you bought her earlier too! Kaito tried, but Rin totally wore it better.

Monty Posted September 7, 2016 I'm actually really happy about that too because i didnt even plan it Originally I had Kokoro as the first song, but since its one of my fave Rin songs and its about her being created/built it kind of annoyed me that the majority of it is spent with me showing her clothes and not the actual doll. so I moved the order around and suddenly it synched up with that bit on the chorus - it originally only slowed down there because I was talking, but I liked the effect so much I got rid of the talking there (I only said something like 'wow she's even cuter now' or something pft). The boing sound effect at the start of City Lights when I pull the box up wasnt planned at first either. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foo Posted September 8, 2016 When I took Rin out of the bag he almost yelled and called the other staff member to come and see. That's awesome! She does seem incredibly cute too Re: vinyl softness, Tohsaka Rin v2 & Takane DDs (last December) are made of much softer vinyl than older DDs, and I assume anything released since them are also soft.
