jadepixel Posted April 28, 2013 It's unfortunate Even if both companies would like for the doll to be sold, the difficulty and expense of working out a contract specifically for that probably isn't worthwhile for either of them. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJStarstryker Posted April 28, 2013 LAME! Aniplex USA is so greedy! Just look at their prices for anime blu-ray sets! Believe it or not, Aniplex USA is still cheap compared to the Japanese costs. Anime DVDs and BluRays are typically 7000-8000 yen for 2 episodes. Japan has a bigger rental and used market though, so if you don't want to pay that high cost, that's some cheaper routes. New DVDs and BluRays are really seen as for collectors or people who love that show/movie/whatever. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraDreams Posted May 14, 2013 ^ That is ridiculous. License issues? Going to make a few pings and see if I can find out what happened. "**Unfortunately, due to last minute copyright issues, we will not be able to carry the previously announced “DD Sword Art Online – Asuna.” Our apologies for any inconvenience. Please contact Volks Inc. at imos@volks.co.jp regarding if they will offer her through the international site. Thank you.**" While this is bad news for American customers, this is great news for us International customers. Maybe there will be more Asunas available for us. In a way it is more fair on everyone, as American customers can also order at Volks Int'l site (or at least I hope you can).

(the first blogger's, anyway). And wow, Volks, they couldn't have lined her clothes so Asuna doesn't end up all spotty with red dye? I wonder if the vinegar trick will work, or will it make the white parts pink?

Jezrah Posted May 20, 2013 I wish someone would change out her eyes. I'm not too fond of her defaults and I'm curious how she looks without them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraSylph Posted May 20, 2013 Wow, that blush looks crazy red in those photos.I wonder if that was just bad lighting and/or manipulation? The lighting in the photos you're talking about makes her skin color look lighter than it is, but even in standard lighting Asuna does have a metric ton of blush (and lipstick) on. It does stand out against her face, going by the sample doll in-store. Asuna's faceup reminds me of Mariko-sensei. That's a previously-released doll who I feel is way over-blushed by default, but others like her regular look very much. SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeris Posted May 22, 2013 Did someone see this auction? http://page9.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/k160854116 If it is what I think, wow DDH06 can be a real beautiful Asuna! Home : Hitomi, Kaori, Lily, Natsuki, Kotori, Yui, Kagami, Aï, Maya, Hana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted May 22, 2013 Yes, it's custom DDH-06 head. Long time ago was said, that 06 could easily pass as Asuna, now it's a solid proof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harleyquinne Posted May 22, 2013 Looks good enough to me - I think I prefer it over the official Asuna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cristal Zhaduir Posted May 22, 2013 woahh , that custom Asuna is so pretty >o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nehelenia Posted May 23, 2013 I want Asuna so much but the after market prices are crazy -_- almost double the original price and you have to pay the proxy as well... I can hardly afford the normal price T_T maybe a bitmore but double the price? And to think most of the ppl clamed not to like her, but they entered all the same :/ Anyways, thanks for reading my whining :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nanoza Posted May 23, 2013 At first I was pretty depressed that Asuna has become so expensive...Then I remembered how bad SAO season 2 was, how they wrecked her character to a blubbering damsel, and I feel much better! The dollfie was pretty cute, I still have slight regrets but Natsuki still looks much cuter! Not to mention, I don`t like her wig and the face looks somewhat generic. The price is ridiculous on the after market (surprise surprise), she is going for maybe 120,000 yen? It keeps rising anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milkbiscuit Posted May 23, 2013 Compared to Aoko's release, is Asuna's growth rate in after market pricing more or less the same? Because if so, I wonder if she'll rise up to 150k in a few months too.

Nekopon Posted May 23, 2013 Aoko was much higher at launch compared to Asuna. She balanced around 150k for a week before dropping. Asuna is averaging at only 100k right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
