Some pictures I took today - I never have time to do anything for my dolls recently (including buying new clothes ;;;) so I tried to capture their current look.

I did manage to buy these boots for Westley though...he'll finally have his own shoes instead of borrowing the loafers all the time;; I also got confirmation for NYDolpa3 so I'll be going..!!! I'm not planning on getting Irvin and still undecided about Nana, so we'll see as Dolpa gets closer if I'll be purchasing any new dolls then... Otherwise I'm saving up for Kanon, unless Volks releases a new MSD anytime soon *wants to see new MSDs so badly*

I'll be attending the NYC Dolpa 3 this June.

The news of the four sisters Yo-SDs has really gotten me up in a knot though...do I want to try for a Nana or save up for a Kanon...? I really like Kanon because she resembles a mini Mika/Ken, and if I bought her then she would fit into the family perfectly. Nana however is limited...*weak person when it comes to limited things -w-;;*

EDIT: Here's a cute Kanon owned by Michiko-san -> Lovesicks 

And a recent photo of Westley, the sweater is hand-knit *u*

So Westley is finally here after about 11 weeks *U*) I was apprehensive about the makeup but they did a wonderful job. The blushing perhaps wasn't as strong as I'd liked it to be, but I love the gradient brows and glad to see that they added the bottom eyeliner. The short shaggy wine red wig wasn't really intended to be for Westley but he looks good in it so he gets to keep it for now >3< (I'm also too lazy to find his actual wig....orz)

I didn't take real deboxing photos so here's another photo of him without the huge glasses:

  

Name: カプリ/ Capuri (Puri for short)

Type: MSD Girl Ken (awaiting girl suwarikko body)

Birthday (Recieved Day): 12/02/04

Purchased from Tenshi no Sumika in Akihabara

Esthetics: Eye area shaved, nose sanded with custom faceup. Body seams were sanded and coated, fingers and toes separated.

Personality: Serious and innocent. Being the oldest child, Puri always carries the heaviest burdens. Likes biscotti and cheese sandwiches and fireworks. She is somewhat clumsy and always seems to misplace her eyeglasses...even though they're usually on the top of her head.

 

Name: フランチェ / Flanché (Flan for short)

Type: MSD Girl Midori in Preschool

Birthday (Recieved Day): 07/03/06

Purchased from Tenshi no Sumika in Shinjuku ALTA

Esthetics: Body seams were sanded and coated, fingers separated. KIPS parts installed.

Personality: A big bully, albeit a very clean and neat one. Flan is the type of girl that would steal candy from kids and kick puppies. She likes to play with Creme and Roro and eat sweets; her favorite is panna cotta. When it rains, she stays at home and make 'teru teru bouzu' with Roro.

 

Name: ポロイケィ / Poroike (Roro for short)

Type: Yo-SD Boy Puff

Birthday (Recieved Day): 05/10/07

Purchased from Hometown Dolpa Osaka 3 VolksUSA Lottery

Esthetics: Body seams were sanded and coated.

Personality: A cheerful little boy. Very impatient and can't ever sit still. Likes sweet things and bubbles and taking baths. Because he is the youngest he gets all his sisters' toys; his favourite toy right now is 'heehee-san' (rubber duck). He is afraid of being too warm so he always tries to wear as little clothing as he can. His sisters are trying their very best to teach Roro that he can't run around in underpants...

 

Name: Westley

Type: MSD FCS F-09 Boy (Sunlight skin)

Order Day: 06/10/07

Birthday (Received Day): 08/30/07

Purchased from NYC Dolpa 2

Personality (Tentative): The odd jobs neighbor. Westley delivers their newspaper and milk every morning and is always disturbed to find Roro greeting him in a dress or underpants. His new mission is to teach Roro how to be a real man. 

My mother returned from Japan two days ago...bearing loads of stuff for my dolls XD Most of it was MSD-sized for my girls but she also picked up some Yo-SD sized clothing like this adorable cardigan. I was mainly excited about getting the raincoat though, and we basically rummaged through the suitcases until it was found.

It was oddly appropriate for the last two days since it's been raining buckets, so when the sun came out today I managed to snap a few photos before it started thundering again T3T)~ It's also the most adorable thing ever, the way these clothes are constructed with such detail continues to fascinate me (*゜Д゜*)

Also since VolksUSA is going to be having a Summer Fair and offering Yo-SD and Sunlight parts...I think I'll have to skip on the Dolpa 17 clothes in order to save up for those instead. I really want Westley to have his 'normal' hands, and this is the only opportunity for me to do so since it's unlikely I'll get to go to Tenshi-no-Sato this year. I also want to pick up the Yo-SD praying hands and Blivy might be picking up some eyes and wigs for me in Sumika soon, so funds are pretty tight now orz. I have the White Cat outfit now anyway so missing out on Black Cat won't be too bad.

This post will be reserved for all things wonderful and NYC Dolpa 2 related, Well..there was also the Dir en grey live that Saturday but that can be found in my LJ for those that are interested. I will post pictures from the Dolpa and try to write a report later after I edit them..there are so many! It'll be in the order I took the photos...

Exclusive kimonos - I'm disappointed that they didn't have a MSD model since that's the size I'm interested in the most. These were gorgeous and I think limited to about 10 or so sets each? I remember a lot of people ended up playing rock-paper-scissors for a chance to buy them. At the very end, even the sets on the models went on sale. They were too expensive and impractical for my dolls (who basically run around in jeans and tshirts), but I would've loved to get my hands on one of the hairpins. Also the Liz that was modelling one of the sets was very pretty.

Full Choice System - The best part was that I finally got to order my Sunlight FCS boy, Westley! It's been like a dream to have Sunlight skin available for order in the United States, and in New York of all places. I think there had been a period of time where it was available at the LA Tenshi-no-Sumika but it was a while ago... There weren't many FCS customers in line that day and I was pretty surprised, since I'm pretty sure there were at least 70 people who applied for it. I ended up being number 8 on the queue and got to chat with Janne from the Den of Angels forum, who was there having a Sunlight elf girl done.

My FCS order was taken Yamanaka Ken-san and I was extremely grateful for him since he was very eager to have everything done exactly the way I wanted it to be. I was provided with samples whenever possible; they didn't have some of the wig color/style combos in nor any hand parts in Sunlight skin. Everything was written directly in Japanese on my order form, unlike some of the others done by the LA employees, who will have to have the English translated into Japanese for the painters and it won't be as accurate as it should be. I brought in examples of the make up and everything so I'm pretty sure that Westley will turn out gorgeous. It was really nice to be able to see some of the FCS heads, especially the beautiful Syo girl. I was also amused by the vast number of Sunlight MSD F09 examples...

Doll Doctor/Beauty Salon - Flan got to go because her elastic was strung reeaaally loose. Also since they were offering KIPS attachment I got a set of those for her too. I thought it was really cute that the doll doctors gave you a little certificate after they fix them for you. The wait was pretty long; I got my ticket before I did my FCS order and even that took about an hour, and it still wasn't my turn. It was worth it though, now she can do some crazy poses XD!  

One Offs - Beautiful F34 girl! It was my first time seeing the mold in person and I thought she resembled a younger version of Madoka; the makeup was absolutely gorgeously done. My other favorites are probably the Lucas and School C girl; mainly because they are some of my favorite molds and it was wonderful to be able to see them dressed so finely. In general, all the outfits were amazing, but a bit disappointing since there were no MSDs...(TT⌒TT) The Madoka and Tachibana Jun weren't to my taste though...Madoka looked a bit prude and Jun's makeup was too dramatic for me.

Neither of my friends nor I won anything at the Lottery event during the dinner (´Ａ｀。) It was nervewracking to sit through it hoping to win something but at the end...no luck! ( ﾉД`)ノ I got to take a photo of Flan with the adorable Sei-tenshi won at our table though; the body of the Sei-Tenshi makes me think almost of the SD10 body. If Yo-SD is like SD13, then Sei-tenshi is the baby SD10 XD I was surprised by the sheer number of tenshi given away at the event though, maybe next year I'll win one........!  

Also I just bought a Yo-SD Raincoat Set on impulse >3>) I was browsing the international site and noticed that it was in stock after an entire year! It's going to be shipped to my mother so I can save on shipping XD; *doesn't want to pay EMS prices...* I've been looking for a set ever since I missed out in Japan last year. *3*

The Suzumiya Haruhi pinky prototypes are also finally out! I think I'm going to have to cave in and buy the entire set...same thing goes for the Series 6 girls (°⌒°；；a) I'll have to skip on the Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo pinky because it's not very interesting other than the accessories...It's funny since I can definitely get it through the mail order but it's just an issue of budget right now.... For once I welcome delays from Vance Project!
