Who is your unicorn??

Tamaki first piqued my interest in DD...but then when I learned about her price...

Top 4 unicorns for me?

 

1. Escalayer..I love her mouth!

 

2.Moe

 

3. Rin

 

4.Shino

 

5.Haruhi Suzumiya

 

 

Escalayer is sooo cute Volks needs more dolls with her smile!

Thanks Silverwing,maybe someday!! Right now I am super focused on getting 2 of the new standard models,and also a body for my new 05 prepainted head I just ordered.

 

I agree DivinitaAria!

 

I wouldn't even need a complete one..just her head would be great! Cause I have no interest in her character itself. Actually I redress all my girls,no one ends up being the same. They usually keep their factory eyes in if they are LE,but not always. I usually redress everyone though. My Marya got a complete outfit/hair/eyes makeover as I didn't like her original character,but loved her face. Erika still has her factory wig and eyes,as well as Nanoha. I mostly want Escalayer for her face..I love that smile,its terribly cute! Someday I will find her head,preferably mint with her eyes still installed. Or if they made another doll with that same head mold or something super similar,that would be fantastic too!

I'd say the original blue Saber was my unicorn way before I got into DD's. When she was first announced I wanted her, even having a very detailed dream of seeing her accessories laid out in a lush park with Saber possibly sitting on a stone or similar. Saber called out to me it seems.

 

After that and before I summoned Varakitsu it was then Caster Fox with her beauty. Yunamon has her in her full beautiful glory. A bit envious and enjoying that Caster very much.

 

Now I got Varakitsu, whom I now love dearly .

tl;dr (skim)

 

- Saber (Fate/Stay Night)

- Caster Fox - Tama-chan (Fate/Extra)

Gnnnnn lately I've started eyeing Alnas White Christmas version and I'm starting to REALLY want her. I only find one on Y!A for 128 K yen, is that her average price?

I saw her on Mandarake for 70 k http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1226458.html

The one on Mandarake is a very good price. I feel it's way better than what you could possibly find on YJA. If you can afford it you should really try to nab that one.

hmm I think my unicorn would be a Nia or a Melty. They're both very pretty and they're some of the only DDs that I actually like the default outfits. Both their eyes are also incredibly gorgeous!

 

One thing though, I've always wondered xD How did people come up with "unicorn" to signify a "grail" Dollfie dream?

Kanu at all the top 3 positions

 

The original Saber would be a distant 4th!

Any expensive hobby is a "unicorn" for me right now.

 

My one and only DD would have to be Mai Shiranui. Not really complete and stock, since I feel like I'd just get bored of her normal outfit, and I hate ponytails. I am a huge fan of Fatal Fury (especially the old anime movies) but there's just something about her face that made me fall in love with her.

New unicorn list

 

Kos Mos and Momo!!!!!! Ugh, I absolutely love them. They're my favorites next to Rise.

current :

- Mio

- Sasara

- Aoko

Been wanting a Cirno MDD since I've seen her. Her outfit is so cute!

My unicorn is Kos-Mos. I'm seeing her a lot with and without the armor but either way she's so gorgeous.

Mine would have to be Saber Lily. She was the doll that got me into the DD hobby. I ended up getting Saber Extra when she came up for preorder as I'd wanted a Saber ever since seeing photos of Lily. I doubt I'll ever get her, but I can still hope.

My Unicorn is Aozaki Aoko. She was for sale when I began considering actually buying a DD but I waited to long and missed her I love the strong expression on her face..everything about her really.

Perhaps Mikuru. when she pops up at 50k I might nab her. Previously my most wanted was Sakura Shinguji but now I have her.

Saber and Saber Lily! Every time I see them, they are $2,500+, any cheaper and they get snapped up immediately. I would love especially to have Lily, because I find her so completely charming. Some day, if I can stop being broke and the timing's right.

I am looking for a DDH-07 head. Im not sure if this counts as a unicorn but I am having a very hard time obtaining one at a reasonable price. I may settle for a DDH-06 at this rate.

Volks has the 07 head available blank if that helps. It's pretty cheap that way, you just have to figure out the face-up yourself (like find an artist to do it, or learn to do it yourself)

Yea, they are all sold out though. So I am now currently stalking the site!

I may try learning how to do faceups. I am not much of an artist but how hard can it be? (famous last words)

Everyone has a different learning curve and visual preference, but be prepared to have a few attempts at it. Rainie was the first attempt I made, and then tried to fix it... and eventually sent her off to a faceup artist (Anouc) who finally made her look like I intended.

 

Surprisingly shortly after such huge goofups I was able to do my husband's Yuriko, my Tamayuki, and Naiomi after neither of the first two had faceups for the first 6 months. Ralph and Lucas are the newest ones I've done and the first heads I've used watercolor pencils on. Trust me, that makes a world of difference and I should have started out with the pencils in the first place.

 

Even so, I'd still encourage you to try it if you feel so inclined. Its fun but requires a lot of patience and a very, very steady hand. Make sure you have the right brushes (I use the smallest I can find), the right paint, paint thinner, ZM spray, and watercolor pencils that include a brown (my cheap set didn't and made it challenging)! The water color pencils were the only way that Ralph and Lucas came out right without tons of mistakes.

There's a prepainted one for sale at the market place for $100 usd with 3 pairs of eyes:

Saber Lily is my unicorn, without doubt...

One thing though, I've always wondered xD How did people come up with "unicorn" to signify a "grail" Dollfie dream?

 

I'm not really sure but I think this is where it came from:

http://www.ultima-i.com/post/1257/saber-unicorn/

 

 

 

My only true unicorn has been Lily, I was lucky to get her and really love her to bits! . There are a few that im planning to adopt but I wouldn't say they are unicorns to me.

 

My first 'unicorn' was the original Saber: as many others I initially got into DD thanks to Danny Choo and Saber Chan and after watching Fate/Stay Night I fell in love with the character but never really chased her, I guess that as a new comer it was more like a crush than true love .

 

Then, out of nowhere I started noticing Saber Lily more and more and before I knew I was longing for her.

Everything about her from her smile, face, eyes, hair, outfit, etc looked so beautiful and perfect to me, and well... she was a Saber after all.

 

Almost grabbed her full set two times but due to real life issues I had to let her go, which kinda make the hobby depressing to the point when it was getting her or quitting the hobby. So I quit for 2-3 months and cut everything DD related, lost interest and even put my girls for sale.

 

So one day I came across one of Lily's pics stored in my computer and she started growing on me again, stronger than before and looking as beautiful as ever. Slowly got back into DD and set myself a deadline to save and get her either fullset or piece by piece. I managed to get all her parts somewhat easily (thanks to everybody who helped in one way or another, BTW ) and not a day comes by that I don´t feel lucky for having her smiling back at me from wherever she is in my room .
