SisterKyoya Posted December 22, 2012 Thank you for that link! Since I've never seen any of this aside from the preorder girls, it was really cool to see the "live" Kos-Mos. There is just a certain gentleness about her face that I think Volks captured really well. Oh man I feel so lucky to be able to preorder her, otherwise I'm afraid she would turn into a painfully illusive unicorn. I love her so much that she makes my heart ache. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy9394 Posted December 23, 2012 Just cancelled my KosMos+Vulcan set to chase after some unicorns. I'm getting MOMO though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted December 24, 2012 I'm actually slowly liking KOS-MOS more over time. That lighter blue wig is closer to the color her hair should be. It shouldn't be that brighter blue that she is wearing in the official pics and that I saw in person at the Dolpa. I haven't pre-ordered one yet, but if they keep up these good revisions, I might actually pre-order one before the deadline. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guy9394 Posted December 24, 2012 That said, you might be better off ordering from the international site actually. I don't know what's going to happen to the yen in a year's time, but the Liberal Democratic Party won the Japanese elections last week in a landslide victory to put them back in power. The previous party believed in keeping the yen strong, which is why it's been in the dumps the last 3 years. But the LDP has a full head of steam working on weakening it (and has given ultimatums to the central Bank of Japan) in order to make exports more competitive again. In just the past 7 days, the yen has gone from JPY80 to JPY84 per dollar. By the time Volks International charges your credit card next year, you could end up paying far less for MOMO than the fixed-price from VolksUSA. Food for thought. Great advice, I am convinced that I should order from Volks International. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gaiaswill Posted December 28, 2012 I think it's partially a function of the camera angle. It seems higher angles really flatter her face and the red is taken from the highest position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SisterKyoya Posted December 28, 2012 And another one of Momo- She's so cute! I love her in this wig but I doubt I'd ever get Raven to change her. And more silly things to love about Kos-Mos... her jaw! Wait... she doesn't have blue eyebrows? Interesting but does not curb my need to have a new faceup for her. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guy9394 Posted December 28, 2012 the timing is just too right. right after I cancelled a kosmos that picture makes me want her again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DivinitaAria Posted December 28, 2012 Kosmos is so pretty, I can't wait to see more of her in a year! She reminds me of a mature version of Rise. My boyfriend suggested that she'd make a nice custom Aigis Rise - Rise // Rise #2 - Rise // Ritsuko - 2B // Momo - M.O.M.O. // Nayuki -Mikuru // Romi - 09 // Makoto - Sailor Jupiter // Mikasa - DD07 (WIP) Waiting on: DDH-25 for custom Akechi 🥰 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youth Posted December 28, 2012 If you had to pay now Kos-mos would cost over $100 less then a month ago & Momo is nearly $100 less buying from Volks JP vs Volks USA. Might not be a bad idea to cancel & go for JP import instead if you're going for her assuming the trend in the exchange rate continues through next fall. Over 100yen to the dollar would be great. If it goes that far I wonder if Volks USA would adjust their price when payment time comes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it goes that far I wonder if Volks USA would adjust their price when payment time comes. That's exactly what I'm doing with Momo! Another user here, SakuraSylph, also said the same thing. While I was hesitant at first, but after watching the yen go up even further (it was JPY84 per dollar, and now it's JPY86!), I think I feel comfortable going with Volks International for Momo. Like you and SakuraSylph said, the yen seems to be rising and rising, so the prices of Kos-Mos and Momo should be significantly lower by the time the charges come to your credit card. But aahhhh! Over JPY100 to the dollar would be amazing! Let's hope for that! At Home ❥ Saber Alter v.2, M.O.M.O. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SchroedingersCat Posted December 28, 2012 With the way the US economy is, that sounds a bit pie in the sky to me. sure, the Japanese economy isn't any better, but still... I suppose it would be nice to see (especially since the AUD is pretty much equivalent to USD at the moment). Now with +/- 15% more uncertainty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose it would be nice to see (especially since the AUD is pretty much equivalent to USD at the moment). USD (or AUD) to JPY exchange rate isn't just affected by how USD is doing. The reason that the yen is getting weaker all of a sudden is because the Japanese themselves are making their currency weaker. It's not that the USD is getting better or anything. That being said, I'm pessimistic about the 100 JPY to 1 USD thing too. Of course, I'd love it if that happened. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
