baldylox Posted July 9, 2013 Okay, let me explain. My Kanu didn't come with her default outfit, she had some other Volks sets instead. After I got her, I asked the seller on ebay if he had sold them separately or not. He replied that when he got Kanu several years ago, he got her blank with no clothing or wig, just her head, eyes and body. He bought her some wigs and clothes and after a while, put her in a box and stored her in a closet for a year. It was sad to hear she got locked away for that long but the seller was happy to hear that I had plans for her and that she would go into a large family of DD's. Anyways, it seems my Kanu hadn't had her default wig or outfit for a LONG time. I knew I'd have to eventually find her wig and clothing but wasn't sure how long it would take. Thankfully, my buddy Mitsuki came thru TWICE for me. She found us a default wig and sent it along so Kanu would have that until we could get her clothing. But just last week, Mitsuki came thru again and found her default set for us! It was a really good price so I couldn't turn it down. It arrived today and Kanu and I are so stoked to finally have her complete! So here are some photos of her in her full default outfit along with her weapon that I already had. In all her hot glory! DSC_1804 by balldylox, on Flickr I love, love, LOVE this outfit! DSC_1805 by balldylox, on Flickr She looks quite bada$$ in this set. DSC_1807 by balldylox, on Flickr And she can finally HOLD things! I like the gloved look too, now she can complement Ryomou when Mou-chan wears her gloves! DSC_1831 by balldylox, on Flickr More shots of the outfit: DSC_1832 by balldylox, on Flickr DSC_1834 by balldylox, on Flickr I hate to say it but she looks a bit more imposing with this weapon than Sprout does.

DSC_1838 by balldylox, on Flickr "Nothing eh? Do you really want me to have to shishkabob you with this?" Not particularly... DSC_1839 by balldylox, on Flickr "Good. I didn't want to soil my blade anyway." DSC_1840 by balldylox, on Flickr Hee hee, sneak attack from the rear! DSC_1841 by balldylox, on Flickr What's an Ikki Tousen girl without a panty shot? DSC_1842 by balldylox, on Flickr DSC_1843 by balldylox, on Flickr "Hmm, how many cookies can I get by NOT telling Rei about your upskirt photos?" Ahhh.... how many do you want? "Where's your wallet?" Drat..... DSC_1847 by balldylox, on Flickr Thank you Mitsuki for making my dream come true! I've always wanted a complete Kanu and now I have one! You're the best enabler EVER!!!

Poofiemus Posted July 9, 2013 Awesome! I know if I'd gotten Nanoha nude I'd feel the same way you did about getting Kanu her set, so I'm sure you've got the most ridiculous grin now. =P Curious though--does this mean Sprout has to give up that spear, or do you have two now so she can get lessons from the master?

baldylox Posted July 9, 2013 Awesome! I know if I'd gotten Nanoha nude I'd feel the same way you did about getting Kanu her set, so I'm sure you've got the most ridiculous grin now. =P Thank you! You're right, I have Kanu with me in the computer room now and I can't help but grinning stupidly at her every few minutes. It's just one of those things where I *never* thought I'd own one and now here she is, in all her glory, right before my eyes. It's a really good feeling. Curious though--does this mean Sprout has to give up that spear, or do you have two now so she can get lessons from the master? That's a really good question! But I'm pretty sure Sprout will be keeping this weapon and Kanu will be using something a bit different. Kanu is a master with her Blue Dragon Crescent Blade for sure but she's also extremely good with other types of blades.... maybe even mythical ones.... More to come once we get her inducted into The Maid Brigade. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted July 9, 2013 Congrats, man! I know you've been looking forward to this for a long time, so it's nice to finally see her all together and in your, still growing, family. Thank you sir! I have definitely been waiting for this for a while so seeing her in her default setup is truly amazing to me. And you're such the comedian with your "still growing family" remark.... but you know me too well I think. She is beautiful ! Her weapon seems SOOOOOOOOOOOO Huge ! A DD weapons is always very impressive ^^ She is very cute in her defult outfit but I prefer her in the outfit you put on her Thank you very much! Her halberd IS huge! I love that thing! I'm glad you like her default but I'm also glad you like the other clothes I choose for her! I'll have to see what else she will wear after I get her out of this set.... which won't be soon because I just love seeing her in this too much! She's looks awesome! I'm glad you wear able to score her default Thank you! I'm glad I finally got it too. very nice. she should show it of to elisabeth. by the way where can i find this mythical mitsuki. i think i need help finding a reasonably priced rise head Ha ha! I don't think Elisabeth likes the skimpy outfits like this but she may still like the colors on it. As for the Mythical Mitsuki, she's a hard one to catch. You'll have to try and find her under a double rainbow on the second Tuesday of Nevuary in order to access her help mode. Trust me, that ain't easy to do! OMG! I'm so glad she has her default finally! I can't wait to see her! Super gorgeous! Thanks! And yes, you will indeed be able to see her in all her glory very soon! make sure to bring your camera!

I look forward to seeing more in less in future updates. Thank you very much! You really haven't seen a fullset Kanu before this? I figured you would have by now as there are usually a few on FFM and such. But if you haven't, I'm glad I could share mine with you so you can see it in full! I agree that she's awesome for sure, I just love her in her default gear! And don't worry, you'll be seeing more of her in the near future.

mitsuki Posted July 10, 2013 Awww She is so awesome whole again! Fantastic! It has been a really long journey! I bet Kanu's final weapon will be extremely cool. haha A 155k yen Kanu that sold quite quickly in Japan says that you still made out pretty well despite Kanu's total cost adding up bit by bit. shinegamix, I am not sure that Baldylox prefers to share. haha Ironically, I just helped another friend get a Rise head. She was still a pretty expensive head though. And it looks like poor Baldylox kind of has to share me since I help Traveller and mystery 3rd guy too. haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitsuki Posted July 10, 2013 We were looking at that Rise head. Another friend wanted a DDIII body, so we split a full set. The head is about $600 or $650 in the end with shipping etc. Costs really add up buying things from Yahoo! Japan Auctions. The right arm on the DDIII body doesn't stay in one piece and falls apart easily so we can't sell the body for much. But everything about DDs is very risky. You have to approach it like you are never getting the money you put into it back out. The market is terrible lately too. It makes me laugh at those body shortage days when DDII was going for $300 or even $350 and DDIII was $400-$500. Or even the craziness when DDS first came out and there were bodies for $650 even. I did a split for a DDS Marisa long ago and lost $300 trying to sell the body. My partner could only pay a certain amount for the head and no one was going to pay $600 for the body. This is an expensive hobby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted July 14, 2013 Awww She is so awesome whole again! Fantastic! It has been a really long journey! I bet Kanu's final weapon will be extremely cool. Thank you! And yes, the journey has been long but the ending is better than I could have asked for really. About her weapon, it will be a sword for sure but I'm not sure which one of the two I picked out she will choose. She may even choose both... haha A 155k yen Kanu that sold quite quickly in Japan says that you still made out pretty well despite Kanu's total cost adding up bit by bit. Yep, I agree with you there. Adding up what I paid for her and her outfit taking out the sales of those two Volks outfits she came with, I'm still way less than that one and well below her normal pricing. So I'm super happy everything came together like it did. shinegamix, I am not sure that Baldylox prefers to share. haha And it looks like poor Baldylox kind of has to share me since I help Traveller and mystery 3rd guy too. haha I don't like sharing my DD Fairy and Enabler!

mitsuki Posted July 16, 2013 haha I wish I had more money so I could produce a TV show with DD actresses. Maybe set is space. Yeah, space sounds great. They could wear short skirts too. hmmm Something like this might have already been done before but just not with DDs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
