Now, there's Nine!! (Marisa and Reimu arrive!)

After a long Fourteen Month wait, numbers Eight and Nine finally made the Halfway 'round the world journey to join the other Kiddos and I: 

Marisa Kirasame and Reimu Hakurei from Volks' MDD/Touhou Project! 

I do think they're kinda cuter in MDD form, although the only other Touhou Project girl I have is DDS Marisa, so, not really a decent comparison.

I never got too into the "Bullet Hell" games, so Iv'e only seen GIFs and clips of the artwork, but I do think I'd get more, if they show up for sale.

 

 

I'm definitely liking Marisa's hair much better than the DDS version, (even with the "flyaway" strands others have noted) 

And her eyes are most definitely an improvement! (I think my camera brought out too much blush on her cheeks, though) 

(And, thankfully!! her broom doesn't look like a Phone Pole this time!!) 

 

I didn't complete Reimu's hair accessories, those little hair bands aren't friendly to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, my wrists gave out after fighting with her hair bow.. 

(hence the Early 60's Bad Beatles lack of sideburns, I should have at least tried to comb that over.... )

 

Both outfits are well detailed, in comparison with DDS Marisa's default. 

I only work three days this week, so I'll be taking more, mostly outdoor pics on either Thursday or Friday... 

Congrats on finally getting your girls! Please show us comparison shots of MDD Marisa with DDS Marisa! 🙏

Thank you!

Oh, I sooo plan to! (muahahaha!!!! *cough, cough*) 

As she's dressed now, or in her default? 

Know what? I'll do both, even I'm curious, now... 

They are ADORABLE!

Congrats! I can't believe it's been such a long wait! They're both looking so cute together!

As @ragnamuffin requested, here's a few shots of DDS Marisa vs MDD Marisa:

 

 

 

 

 

 

While Risa (DDS Marisa) is cute, and fits into the family storyline, I have to say that MDD Marisa is quite cute in person, and her outfit is a major improvement. 

(I had fun doing these, the "Staredown" was too cute to pass up!!) 

Thanks for doing this @battrastard! The staredown is adorable and I had no idea MDD Marisa’s outfit was so much more detailed. This has been very enlightening, for science!

They are adorable! Congratulations! The DDS and MDD Marisas look fabulous together!

Really sweet ♥ They look great paired together 😄
