bethykins Posted November 6, 2012 Perfect ^__^ if I win her in the lottery is there anyone I could pay a fee to to have her shipped to them and then onto me? (Someone who wouldn't recieve customs) Pweeeeese ??? I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitsuki Posted November 6, 2012 I think I'm like...the only one kind of disappointed. I've been really really excited for her release...until I saw her photos. The more photos I see of her, the less I actually want her. These latest ones for example the mouth looks kind of odd to me, on top of how she looks like a slightly modded 07 head. Should I be disappointed or relieved is anyone's guess. But oh well, there will always be another limited down the road xD I understand your point of view, Mahoro. I feel the same way. I think it is better to be relieved to not spend the money. I also was excited about Shinguji Sakura but she didn't look like Sakura to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitsuki Posted November 6, 2012 I usually don't say anything if I feel like a particular DD is not my type because there are plenty of others who do love her. I suppose it is like cooking. Not everyone likes to eat the same thing. It is usually more fun to say the things you like rather than the things you don't. But in this case, it is also good to let others know they aren't the only one who doesn't like something. I was wondering if there is something wrong with me too, but a friend of mine also joked and made the clichéd comment that "his wallet is safe this time too" despite Aoko being initially very anticipated.

Mahoro Posted November 6, 2012 hahaha, well, nobody will get mad at you for saying your wallet is breathing a (temporary) sigh of relief from being empty is how I see it XD lord knows most of us spend enough money on this hobby as it is :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinegamix Posted November 6, 2012 maybe she got overhyped and the end result did not meet that expectation. making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaiaswill Posted November 6, 2012 She was perfectly hyped for me. A saucier 07 is fine too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bethykins Posted November 6, 2012 Do we know rough release yet? DP28, Tokyo Big Sight, 16 December 2012. Thankyou !! Will she be a lottery item? I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted November 6, 2012 Do we know rough release yet? DP28, Tokyo Big Sight, 16 December 2012. Thankyou !! Will she be a lottery item? Not at the Dolpa itself. The Dolpa works as first come, first serve, once everyone draws numbers for their slot in line. But for the after event (the way most people will get her) online, yes. It's a lottery. The after event typically happens a few weeks after the Dolpa itself. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talolili Posted November 6, 2012 Aoko looks similar to Rin to me. She's not too expensive either, too bad I have bad luck with the lotteries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saluli Posted November 6, 2012 I will wait for more pics. Volks pictures sometimes doesn't do justice to their dolls... Besides that, the make-up in the mouth area looks stronger on some pics, and weaker in others.... If I get her, probably will be my first to not keep her original character... if I manage to gather the money for her and the tax... Summon ritual is over. And finally complete.

MaxArcher Posted November 6, 2012 I wish they'd made the older version of Aoko from Tsukihime and the other Type-Moon series. Then we probably would've gotten a doll a lot like Tamaki. As it stands, she's nice, but too close to my Beato, I think. DD Beatrice - DD Saber/EXTRA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strife212 Posted November 6, 2012 I'm a huge Type-Moon fan so I'll be getting her for sure! If I lose lottery I guess it will be auction time.

mistyaera Posted November 6, 2012 I actually really, really want her. I can guarantee I'll try for her in the After Event if she's available. Not sure I'll have ANY luck, but...

OhnoRaptors Posted November 7, 2012 Strife212 told me to post saying Aoko is a bad doll and that no one should buy her. ...but I think it's just a ploy so that he has less competition for this cutie. :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrettyCranium Posted November 7, 2012 Out of curiosity, how do you pronounce "Aoko"? Is it "Ah-oh-ko" or "Ow-ko"? Or something else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Giving my little knowledge in Japanese, I'd say "Ah-oh-ko". "A" and "O" in Japanese have their separate characters and they do not mix to make other sounds. "-Ko" like in "Korea" The name will be written (in hiragana, for example) A-O-Ko = あ お こ and most likely means "Blue (Aoi) child (Ko)" Edited November 7, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
