Impulse Buy of Adorable Dollfie MDD Mochi-Ashi BJD
Dollfie Dream ball-jointed doll collecting can be somewhat addictive. These girls (or boys) just LOVE company. Now I never intended to get a MDD, much less a Mochi-Ashi one. But one evening I was perusing one of the Facebook Dollfie doll enthusiasts groups where the most adorable doll appeared in a FOR SALE posting. My […]

Here’s a quick look at two dolls in the Azone 1:6 scale Pureneemo Character Series range: No. 131 Ram and No. 128, which is everyone’s favourite anime wifu, Rem. I was lucky to pick up both from Mandarake in Japan. At the time of writing I was able to pick them up in brand new […]

Thoughts on the Dollfie Dream Miku Hatsune Empty Sekai Outfit
I’m always wary of doll outfits that are so complicated to put on that they actually come with fitting instructions. This outfit has a further complication – eye surgery is involved since the outfit comes with two eyes. Yikes! In case you haven’t guessed this is the Miku Hatsune Empty Sekai outfit.

Here’s a couple of Azone Pureneemo dolls that arrived recently from Mandarake in Japan. The girl on the left is Ex Cute witch girl Mia Of The Note. She’s the Azone Direct Store Limited Edition Version, so she has a white outfit instead of the regular outfit. The girl on the right is Ex Cute […]

Colour Accented Dollfie Uzuki Shimamura with Miku Hair
My Canon G10 camera is truly ancient but it has a few neat features, especially the colour accenting mode. One evening I took a few shots of Dollfie Dream Sister Uzuki Shimamura, colour accenting her red necktie. It also picks out her red plaid skirt, her faceup and the menacing face of her cute Domo-Kun […]

Unboxing the Delightful Pureneemo Magical Cute Happy Shiny Koron
I started my doll collection with Dollfie Dream Dynamite Towa. While I think the large scale ball-jointed dolls are incredible, I was soon aware of their major shortcomings, namely the lack of portability and also the comparative difficulty in getting them to pose well. Soon I was drawn to the world of the Azone Pureneemo […]
