Yaya has truly arrived! (DDH06)

This is pretty short. I won this girl on Y!J from my favorite face-up artist, and while I had planned for my Yukiho to be my character Yaya, I had to pass this honor on to a doll that I never thought I'd get the chance to own.

 

Here is the box opening!

 

Inside the box is a card from the face-up artist with a letter in English and in Japanese ;w; I think they realized I wasn't a native speaker and included it just in case. It has pictures from their official auction as well!

 

The box the head came in is in here. She was an open-eye version, though there are modifications which you can see in the next picture (to the eyes and lips to my knowledge). She also came with two pair of eyes (blue and reddish/purple! I love them both and will be saving the blue eyes for my DDH09). She also came with some eye putty ready to go! I didn't know that would be included, but I'm very grateful.

 

Here she is! When I opened the box, I gasped. The detail on her is exactly what I was hoping for. I can't tell you how carefully I plucked her out of the wrapping or how quickly Yukiho's head was coming off her body (I need to get Yukiho her own body and a new face-up. #goals.#win #whyamihashtagginginaforum). Because I wanted to supplement what I had originally done with Yukiho's customization with her, I simply put her on the body!

 

All customized with the eyes in! WOW. WOWOWOWOW. I AM. SHOOK. HOLLA. THIS GIRL IS GORGEOUS. SLAYING. QUEEN. YAS.

 

Another angle bc why not. I need to get her more clothes ASAP. I have her in this bc it was cheap at Mandarake, but honestly, I want to get her stuff to dress her up in all the time. I want to spoil her. Definitely my Queen Yaya bae. I know I'm biased because I've admired her face-up artist for a long time on Y!J and have wanted one for ages but I was scared of a custom doll... until I got Mariko and realized that I don't like standard sets and WANT to customize. So. Here we are. I have a dream girl.

 

If you guys actually got this far with me gushing, I applaud you. Seriously. I know I don't know a lot of you yet but having a place I can come vent to about the hobby and not annoy my non-doll friends with "OMG LOOK AT THIS" is a great thing in of itself. \o/ I hope you guys like her, too! Cheers for now!~

Aaaah she's so much prettier than I expected. Not that I didn't expect her to be pretty but dayum gurl be rockin'. I love that open mouth so much and the little changes to her eyes make all the difference. Queen Yaya is truly gorgeous and I can't wait to see more of her~!

It's really interesting to see her in person! I was worried about the "orangeness" of the lips in the artist photos, but I loved the lips and eyeshape they gave her. DDH06 is so customizable?? I want more of this sculpt?? Queen Yaya my hime-dere girl and will totally be pleased if her title stays LOL. GDI why is my Mariko the one doll I'm like "yeah she's fine" but this new girl I want to dress up lots? Plz save my wallet from my heart :<

She's truly gorgeous. The artist did a fantastic job! I especially like the slightly-open mouth.

I also really like the two-tone wig.

 

On one hand you'll have a much easier time furnishing her with her new wardrobe because you're in Japan and can buy from Y!JA and dealer webshops without needing a proxy/having to pay extra fees/international shipping...but that might be a double-edged sword in that you may end up buying a lot more

 

What is the fashion style you've envisioned for her? If you have examples, either human-sized or doll sized, of the types of clothing you see her in, it'd be neat to see them. I'm curious to see what she'll look like in her fully styled form!

Thank you! I'm hoping the owner of the shop puts more wigs up soon :< I'd like to get another one before I move back to the states, and it took about 2 weeks to arrive, so here's to hoping! (I wasn't sure how the quality was going to be, but it was reasonable and really good quality

 

Haha! Right?! I am hoping to go to Akihabara soon to go back to the Volks store. I've been packing up, so some DD clothes are in storage (default sets of my Yukiho & Mariko + the Miku deep sea girl set I splurged on before I even had a dollfie dream LOL (I went in store to try FCS, but I didn't like the make-up options so I declined uvu I plan to go back to check on D-Coords again before I leave... because I have no self-control.) The store has more options than the webstore which is always sold out it seems, but I've found sold-out sets in the Akihabara store before. Probably will hit it up mid-May since my boyfriend will be here at the time.

 

WOW I RAMBLED I AM SORRY. BASICALLY YEAH I HAVE NO IMPULSE CONTROL. HELP.

 

Well, to be honest, I really love this dress on her! I picked it up to put dolls in to test them since it's really simple and pretty and wasn't expensive imo? Nicer than the slip, but not too elaborate. She is going to have a very Hime-dere look. I imagine her to wear things that look expensive, but probably not nothing too elaborate. Pastel colors for sure/lots of white (which is why the dress for now works!) I may see how she looks with a slighty edgier look (without going punk perse). Would love to find some jewelry. There's a set on Mandarake I have my eye on that I'll probably go ahead and splurge for if I don't find it on Y!J first. ... And yeah, I'll probably eventually get some fancy clothes for my girls to share. ;;; WHEW THIS WAS LONG. I TYPE A LOT. ;w; thank you for commenting and showing your interest in her, though!! I'm really, really happy to have her, and I like gushing about her ;;;;

She’s adorable congratulations on getting her!

Thank you!! I'm so so so in love!

The white dress does look good on her! The lace detailing and gold buttons do give it a rather princess-like feel. I look forward to seeing the other outfits you pick out--what you've described sounds like a very lovely style.
