baldylox Posted July 2, 2017 Well, it seems that my Rei went behind my back and got herself a Kizuna. She really likes the Kizuna that lives with K2 and has been pestering me to adopt one for a while. I told her no but she decided she needed one to pal around with so she partnered up with my buddy AsianEd and found one for sale over on Figurefm for an extremely good price. So at the last doll meet back in May, Kizuna was presented to me to take back to Rei. It took me a while to process all of this so that's why it's taken me a bit to actually present her here. Without further ado, here is my 45th family member Kizuna. DSC_0632 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr DSC_0634 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr As you can see, she's a complete Version 1 Kizuna. That means she came with the original "D" shirt with 3/4 sleeves, jeans and her original wig with the braid in it. I much prefer this setup to the newer versions that have the white shirts, corduroy pants and plain wig. DSC_0635 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr DSC_0636 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr Since I don't have one yet, I'm thinking of ordering her the M-bust so I can have one example of each bust on a girl. DSC_0637 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr It's still hard to believe she's the same head as Mirai since she looks so "put out" and miffed. DSC_0638 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr But I do like her a lot and I'm happy Rei overstepped her bounds to get Kizuna here. I'm going to have to punish Rei somehow tho because she knows better than to use my Paypal account.... Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

MrFjmg03 Posted July 2, 2017 Congrats to Reí, she has a really great taste But I think she will need to fight Minami so she won't get to close to Kizuna LOL (specially some sort of pillow fights ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiko82 Posted July 2, 2017 Congrads to you both on getting Kizuna. I agree with you that the Version 1 dolls had a great setup. I also prefer them over the newer versions.

Galvatim Posted July 2, 2017 Rei was just doing what was necessary for science. Congrats, Kizuna is cute! Those jeans from the first version outfit are so awesome, I wish I had a few more pairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted July 2, 2017 Congrats to Reí, she has a really great taste But I think she will need to fight Minami so she won't get to close to Kizuna LOL (specially some sort of pillow fights ) Ha ha, yes she does! But Manami won't listen to Rei, she will be wanting to meet Kizuna and check her out. I'm sure that will result in some sort of fight.... or Rei chasing Manami with her baseball bat again. Congrads to you both on getting Kizuna. I agree with you that the Version 1 dolls had a great setup. I also prefer them over the newer versions. Thank you! And yes, the jeans and wigs were much nicer IMO back on the first wave girls. Rei was just doing what was necessary for science. Congrats, Kizuna is cute! Those jeans from the first version outfit are so awesome, I wish I had a few more pairs. HA! Rei would totally agree with you there. And thanks! You're right about the jeans, they totally rock and fit the DD girls nicely too. I have 3 pairs now and won't trade them for anything! If you're on Facebook then you can join a few of the Smartdoll groups.... I see the jeans come up for sale quite often so they're available for sure.

belpita Posted July 3, 2017 I am not getting a Kizuna, I tell you! I am not. Maybe I should get a Kizuna... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinclair Posted July 3, 2017 I'm going to have to punish Rei somehow tho because she knows better than to use my Paypal account.... If it were me, I'd get the kind of outfit she wouldn't be caught dead in and make her not only wear it, but do a photo shoot. Perhaps throw in some out of character poses.

baldylox Posted July 3, 2017 This is Rei. Thank you for the kind words and the offer about the "update". I shall be sending you a private message very soon my friend. Rei A. I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted July 3, 2017 I am not getting a Kizuna, I tell you! I am not. Maybe I should get a Kizuna... There's no *MAYBE* about it. I think EVERYONE needs a Kizuna. I'm going to have to punish Rei somehow tho because she knows better than to use my Paypal account.... If it were me, I'd get the kind of outfit she wouldn't be caught dead in and make her not only wear it, but do a photo shoot. Perhaps throw in some out of character poses. I really appreciate the idea of that Sinclair! And after seeing the reply Rei left K2's Kizuna I came up with something..... Two vocaloid by Billy Bennett, on Flickr She was actually okay with it until I put the bow on her head. THAT sent her into a slight tirade about hairbows and blue haired girls and something very NSFF ( Not Safe For Forums ) And she was told she must wear that outfit including the bow for two full weeks. As soon as Manami sees her I'm betting an all out war will occur. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cirquemom Posted March 17, 2018 She was actually okay with it until I put the bow on her head. THAT sent her into a slight tirade about hairbows and blue haired girls and something very NSFF ( Not Safe For Forums ) As K-2 can attest to- you don't want to cross Kizuna. Better hide the knives and blunt objects tonight when you go to sleep.... She's fabulous, congratulations, and a Version 1 on top of it! I like those t-shirts the best- the 3/4 sleeves hide that kind of ugly elbow joint. And yes, much better than the generic (zzzzzzz) white t-shirt that come with the new version.

baldylox Posted March 17, 2018 As K-2 can attest to- you don't want to cross Kizuna. Better hide the knives and blunt objects tonight when you go to sleep.... Ha ha! Luckily my Kizuna isn't too malicious. I think Rei keeps her in line well enough. She's fabulous, congratulations, and a Version 1 on top of it! I like those t-shirts the best- the 3/4 sleeves hide that kind of ugly elbow joint. And yes, much better than the generic (zzzzzzz) white t-shirt that come with the new version. Thank you so much! I agree about the shirts, I buy every one I find if I can. I have one in blue, green and two in orange. And yes, those dull looking white shirts just don't cut it for me. I understand Danny wanting to cut costs and make things easier for first time doll owners but come on, these are characters that have a specific look and style to them! Stick with that!
