Prisma Illya.. The grail baby! (photo heavy)

I apologize for my messy room! I was too excited to get her open to think of organizing the background

 

I may have made some non-human noises after FedEx left and ripped her out of the shipping box.. But finally! My baby!

 

I see you cute girl.

 

Illyasviel and her items~

 

She has the cutest little smile and cheeks!

 

Side view of her little face that I wanna squish to death. (I think Illya is very lucky she is not a real life girl)

 

This outfit. Do not get me started. While she needs a petticoat to fluff her skirt up, it is stunning. The cape and hair ties are wired so they can be posed!

 

May sound crazy to others.. But saran wrap is a great way to proof for staining! All ready to be dressed! ^_^

 

It opens! I really want to make her some cards to go with now~

 

Dressed and ready to wield Ruby! (Wig is crooked.. Oops!!)

 

The quality of Ruby is stunning. She is actually very heavy and well casted.

 

Ruby even has fine sparkles to her, which catch light just wonderfully.

 

I put some putty in her hand since Ruby is so heavy.. I do not want Ruby flying off while Illya is on display.

 

Illya and Ruby are ready to save the day!

 

Gahhhhh~ Going to die now *O*

 

 

My only dislikes about Illya are her eyes. I may get some commissioned to be more anime/manga accurate. However, the rest of her quality is stunning. Her outfit is probably one of the best I own and has SO many ridiculous tiny details!

 

I fell for Prisma Illya from teaser photos and automatically started watching her anime. She pretty much became my grail by the first episode ^_^ Illya wasn't easy to get here, either. When VolksUSA announced their closing, they said a representative company of theirs (who also is an entry process for lotteries) would be taking over this, their last Dolpa. I entered for Illya the second I noticed the email.

 

However, weeks passed and so did the AE.. I emailed WLD asking about the Dolpa and they said Volks was not giving them dolls! I posted, absolutely outraged, on the FB group and emailed VolksUSA. I lost the click war soon after and didn't really think I'd ever own Illya, or not anytime soon at least. After some weeks of no reply from Volks, they finally replied saying there was a "mix up" with headquarters and they would supply WLD with the Dolpa dolls as promised! Fate was on my side because I ended up winning her. ^_^

 

After a long wait and surprise sudden invoice, Illya is finally home. I am so happy with her, I cannot contain my joy today I hope Volks decides to make Miyu and Kuro, too, so Illya can have her friends with her~!

Lol I love your comments! Especially the one "she's lucky she's not a real girl" ^_^

 

You know, I never thought about saran wrapping her and about putting clear putty in her hand to hold Ruby. That's a really good idea!

LOL!

 

Well, after you told me her stockings stain.. i wanted to play it safe! And yes, she's been holding Ruby firmly on my bed and for the photos. ^^ It works great with how heavy Ruby is~

Grats on the new arrival! Our chibi army grows more day by day! Muhahahaha!

Yes yes.. And I do technically have another MDD.. Just waiting on SQLabs to reply for me to buy the head.. And do have another in mind of buying! Soon our chibis will overrun the big girls and conquer all~!

I can totally relate to your excitment because I felt exactly the same way when my Illya --now Cassandra -- arrived! Couldn't you just hug her to death!!??!!

Thank you so much. She really is. I am always eyeing her and she sends such a smile to my face

Thanks!! She is so very cute. Easily one of the cutest MDDs made to date ^_^ I am very happy to be her momma!

Have you taken her eyes out yet?? I'm curious what she looks like with some other eye colors - esp with some that are either brown/neutral or cool in color to kind of tone down the overall pink of her cheeks.

 

I just put her down on layaway b/c in the end I couldn't resist her face and the whole outfit.... your thread was to blame! (and to thank!! ;D)

 

I think Jade had her with Cirno's eyes on her blog.. and she looked so flippin pretty still with blue.

 

Thanks so much for the photos they're so great!

Congrats, she's amazingly cute!!!

congrats she is so cute and her outfit is so awesome

Sorry for the influence.. ;D You won't regret it.

 

I have not yet. I am not sure I will unless I commission manga-accurate eyes for her. (Plus I do not have many spare eyes, I'm bad! Need to buy some soon..) She stays in default since I love her character and series ^^ I'll be so happy to see your Illya. Photos just... don't even do remote justice. She's super adorable in person. And her outfit. Stunning. I have her posed so her cape looks like it's flowing behind her. I wanna make the little cards she has in the series for the pocket on the garter. I hope to eventually find her more outfits, since I didn't get her extra outfit. But I wanna keep her pretty close to series accurate and only will probably change her into things she'd wear in the series.

 

My friend changes her outfit's a lot, and so does Jadepixel, but I think they both have kept her eyes in. I am sure she would look really cute with other colors of eyes!

 

 

And a big thanks for the other congrats notes!
