Akira arrives!

Oh yes, it's that time of year when flocks of Akira are migrating homeward! Mine arrived today... and OMG, she is so much cuter than I was expecting.

 

 

Why is Akira so cute with Alna? Why do the DDS proportions match so nicely to Alna's pea head? Why do I see more DDS in my future?!

 

Also... how do you like the bags (I know you can't see them too well... there will be better pictures this evening)? I am going to start selling them on etsy... XD

Congratulations! Oh, she looks so much better with that long wig than with her default, too. Such a cutie.

Thank you so much! Yeah, I agree, Akira looks so much cuter without her default wig. I'll have to try her default wig on the other girls, but I have a feeling it's a wig that just won't be my girls style!

 

Now I just have to decide if her name will stay Akira or not.

Oh yes, it's that time of year when flocks of Akira are migrating homeward!

This.

LOL I laughed so hard. xDD

I'm glad your Akira came home safely~ I love that wig on her too *A*

Can't wait to see what everyone does to customize her~!

Akira is looking awfully cute with that new wig you've put on her I want a DDS in my future too As for the bags, they look amazing~! Definitely can't wait to see them up on Etsy

Congratulations! Akira is so adorable! It is great to see her finally home. I love this shot you took of Alna and Akira together. They are too cute!!!

 

The bags were one of the first things I noticed. They are so cute! Alna and Akira look like they are ready to go out and have fun.

Congrats!!!! She is absolutely adorable! I just love this pic of her and Alna. She looks so much better with that longer wig and that face soooooo cute! Makes me wish that I would have tried to get her. Anyway congrats again and I love the handbags very cute.

Wow, wigs do truly change a girl entirely! She looks older and I think prettier with that wig than her default. And those bags are so cute, and practical looking too! The right size for a DD scale DD Guide Book?

 

I assume you put your hands over Alna's eyes when you typed 'pea head'...

Me too, it's a Leekeworld wig, go figure, LOL, they're awesome.

(hehe, and I'm glad you enjoyed my commentary on Akira migration patterns XD)

I can't wait to see what everyone does with her either. I expect there will be a lot of interesting variety!

Thank you! Yes, so far I'm pretty impressed with her, and the DDS body is so cute! And thank you for the feedback on the bags!

Thank you! ... yeah... I just need to make sure their bags are never filled with my money... that... could be trouble!

Thank you! Yeah, I really like this wig on her. I am always amazed how much one little thing can change a girl! I understand why you didn't try for Akira though... if my decision about her had been based solely on Volks' original promo pics of her, I never would have tried for her either... it was owner pics of her, and the pictures that Volks released later that changed my mind about her. (plus... I must be honest, I really wanted to see a DDS body in person... what a lame reason for buying a whole doll, LOL)

Oh YES! I wish I had a DD scale DD Guide Book!!!!! That would be awesome to put in there! I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to put in there as props for the photos anyways... dang, a book or magazine would be perfect. I'll have to work on that.

 

I agree that the wig makes such a big difference. I think that's one of the reasons I LOVE Alna, she looks great in a lot of wigs, where, with the other girls, I often have to try on many wigs before I find one I think is ok... but with Akira, this was the first one I put on her, and it was perfect. I tried other ones on, and they were cute too, but this one was really cute (Alna still holds the Gold medal for looking awesome in a ton of different style wigs... man I love that girl)

 

And... uh... no, no, Alna read the bit about being a pea-head.... but... her response?

 

Alna: Oh! Pea-head! Peas are vegetables, vegetables are healthy... I have a healthy head on my shoulders!

Sprout: Heh, you're a vegetable... yup, that sounds about right...

Alna: What?

Sprout: Nothing! *scuttles away*

 

Alna knows I love her, and that Pea-head is obviously a term of endearment.

Hooray! I'm glad your local PO finally released the hostage!

 

Good to see her with Alna, I bet they both enjoyed hanging out with each other. They do look quite cute together. I also like the bags you made! Nice patterns on them... make sure you let us know when they go up for sale!

 

I have images on my home computer for the DD sized DD compilation book if you want me to email them to you. That way you can have them to print up for your girls. I also have some random manga pages in the same scale so you can make those as well. Just let me know if you want them and I'll hook you up!

 

Congrats again on getting Akira home!

Did you peek at the Akira that came to your house?? She's SO much cuter than I expected... oh my... I'm going to be a DDS fan, since they look so lovely with Alna...

 

Eeek! I would LOVE the files for the DD sized stuff! That would be so cute to include in the pics!!

 

And they are for sale! I put a thread in the Marketplace section... there are 5 still available, but I'll be making more!!

I did look at her to make sure nothing was wrong with her and she had no damage but I didn't take too long. She does look quite nice in person tho, I love her default eyes. But she's all packed up now awaiting word on when I can ship her out to her new parent. They live in Bangkok and due o all the flooding there recently, the PO is closed down. So I was asked to keep her with me instead of possibly having her go missing while problems still occur. I don't want to have her out in the open due to me wanting to open her!

 

I'm glad you're liking yours! The DDS is indeed a cute setup, I know I really love my Mamimi.

No problem, I'll be glad to email you those files over the next day or two. I have some cool pics and I'll even include the cool photoshopped pages Mitsuki made with some of my girls in the book! I need to ask if she can do some more pics for me....

Cool beans! I'll see if any catch my eye and let you know! I hope they sell well for you!

I know, the more I play around with this girl, the more I'm really enjoying her newer jointing system. She poses so much easier!!

 

She's a cutie! Gratz!

 

Thanks!

Woo! Congrats! She looks super cute! Hope to see more pictures soon!

I look at your Akira and I want to call her Chiaka - ChiChi can be her nickname.

 

YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT

 

Plus that's a NAMESAKE for the author of Serial Experiments Lain: Chiaka J. Konaka

Chichi is such a cute nickname!!!!

I ran back over to the first post and I can totally see why you want to call her that XD

 

Congratz on Akira Bearries~!

Hahaha, uh oh... two votes... lol, I was going to name her Rue, is that out now?

 

... although I really think Mariko will make a lovely Chiaka, if I can manage to win her XD

I think Rue ( Roo-ay? ) is a cute name too. I hope you can get Mariko Sensei tho, good luck on her!

 

And now it's my turn to give YOU lip. Update your signature! Color in Akira for heavens sake!

Rue, like in Princess Tutu? I think that would work!
