Saber's Homecoming

Since joining the hobby I came to fall for Saber after looking at lots of DD photos. So when Volks had the Santa Alter lottery I bit, and won! Whelp, I was so happy when I got her shipping notice that I had the tracking app open every hour to follow her. Then USPS misplaced her! After freaking out and emailing Volks, they were quick to reply, but as I feared couldn't do anything. They were so kind about it. 2 days after she was suppose to be here she showed up at my door step. Of course I wanted to open the box right up, but being a daddy to real boys, my girl had to wait until after the boys were in bed. So I took the box into my bedroom.

 

 

Me: What are you doing girls?

Yumi: Look Daddy, I have maids!

Miku: Yumi-sama, please hold still so we can do your hair.

Yaya: Look, Yaya is a neko maid. When Yaya is done with Yumi, you can pet Yaya.

Me: I see, well, I need to go help Mommy get the boys to bed, will you please watch this box for me?

Yumi: Hai!

 

 

Yumi: I wonder what is in it. It's so big.

Miku: I wonder...

 

 

Yaya: Where are you going Miku?

Miku: I'll be right back. See, that didn't take long.

Yaya: Wait, what is that in your hand!?!

 

 

Miku: Yoshi, this new knife works wonderfully.

Yumi: [Gasp!]

Yaya: Miku, Daddy didn't say we could open it!

Miku: He didn't saw not to either, did he?

 

 

Miku: I thought so.

Yumi: What is it?

Miku: You'll see. Yaya, help me get this out.

Yaya: Yaya isn't so sure about this.

Me: Hey now, what are you little ladies doing?

 

 

Yaya: This isn't Yaya's doing. Miku opened the box!

Miku: Settle down Yaya, Daddy's not going to get mad.

Yumi: What is it?

Miku: Daddy, why didn't you tell me you were getting another?

Me: Because I wanted it to be a surprise.

Yaya: Get what? Will someone tell Yaya what's going on.

Me: Hold on, let's get the box out of the way and the packaging off. And you'll see.

 

 

As you can see, it's a very clean and simple box. What you can't tell from the photo is that it's a two tone silver. The outer sleeve is a light sliver and the inner box is dark silver. I like the VS cutout with the dark showing thru. I'll spare you getting her together. It wasn't too hard, but she was (is) very stiff. Her dress isn't made of normal cloth, so we'll see how it holds up over time, not that she'll spend much time in it except around Christmas. Who needs Elf on the Shelf if you have Santa Alter? Way cuter, not creepy, and she has a sword!

 

 

Me: Girls, meet you new older sister. Saber introduce yourself.

Saber: Good evening, my name is Saber. I look forward to spending time with you and becoming a member of this household.

 

 

Yumi: Yeah, a new onee-san!! [Glomp.]

Saber: ...

Miku: Whoa, careful Yumi. Are you okay Saber?

Saber: Yes, thank you, I am fine. Yumi seems to be a very energetic girl.

Yaya: Why oh why is there another rival for Daddy's affection? Yaya is more than enough woman for Daddy's love...

 

And Saber is now safely home and surrounded by loving family. And now my little DD family is complete (Yes, I know, snicker all you want. Impossible, you say, to only have one MDD. There will be other DDs Volks will release that you want, you continue to tease. My wallet, and wife, can dream, right? I mean, this is 4 girls in less than one year! I can't possible keep that rate up. I have trains to buy too.). In closing, here's a shot of the whole happy group.

 

I can relate, I've also got 4 DDs in less than a year and the head of what will be an MDD floating around. And I was meant to only have Rin...

Your girls are all so varied though! It's an interesting bunch for sure. Funny how at Christmas you said Miku shouldn't expect a new sister every Christmas and yet she already has two more lol.

Yay! I'm so happy you finally got her. You are totally right. Santa Saber on the Shelf is totally not as creepy as Elf on the Shelf. I get the concept (I think, no children), but the elf looks a little creepy to me.

heh. Yaya can't win.

she made it!! I'm so glad for your newest addition ^__^

ahh...Saber is really cute, Wish i could have her too
