Aaaaah Mama Chapp dolls are so sweet and cute looking it's almost enough to enduce instant, acute diabetes!  ( OoO)>

I may try to pick one up during my trip if just to have one for the sake of cute.

I swear, next time I plan a trip I'm going to have to learn the dates of these festivals a bit in advance and figure out how to attend if there's any sort of specical procedure because ... well to be blunt the events just seem that damn awesome.   Your coverage of the figs and dolls is awesome. :x They even have a Elegant gothic Ita-Loli with the eyepatch and everything!  Pardon me while I channel Rena and go ~Hauuuuuuuuuu omochikaeri~

I think it's an excellent decision to upload to flickr, as well.  I get a ping on email each time you upload a batch, which is awesome.  It's timed usually as I get on the bus to work, so I get a sneak peek at your post. XD

reply to WiseFreeman's comment

Definitely Mama Chapp dolls are the cutest. A few are cute scary, I guess the blank, expressionless stare in their eyes puts me off most of them. Any with the more narrow eyes (more human-like, but it makes em more creepy).
The one with the pink hair in the kimono looks really nice. Wouldn't mind something like that, lots of the joints are hidden under the clothes, and her eyes are bright instead of dull and expressionless.

reply to marvin's comment

Haruhi doll is so nice. But I can't really see myself collecting these .. what do you call them, dolls? Figures? What's the distinction? The made-of-fabric clothing? The hair? The joints? It seems there is a certain level of convergence, when we get figures with joints and clothing you can change. For now, this seems to be the future of PVC figures.

Maybe it'll only be a short time before otakus start playing Barbie dolls.

reply to Eva's comment

Dolls are creepy to me when they have realistic eyes and soft hair. Things that move! I'm sure this foolishness comes from movies and the like.

Scale has to do with the creepy factor, doll or figure.  The smaller, the less creepy they are.  Also, the vast majority of figure collectors would not collect dolls because of a lack of space.

(ID #260347) Posted on 2008/08/09 01:55

reply to nanu's comment

I think the action figures derived more from the fixed-pose figure heritage look better. The ones that come from the doll heritage look somewhat more creepy to me, but that's the aesthetic that is preferred for dolls, I guess. I am hopeful that we can see more articulated action figures on the lines of the Figma series, of course- I think they set the bar for the type.

(ID #260344) Posted on 2008/08/09 01:50

reply to wbd's comment

Yeah the Figma series are great. the 'joints' are a good trade off for what poses you can get Figma in ^.^ change it around once and a while and you feel like you just got a new figure :D

Hey Danny. Do you mind posting the names of all the doll manufacturers and where I could possibly get them? It's sort of a long shot since I can't find any in eBay( aside from Azone and Super Dollfie).

I'm specifically looking for the anime/moe type dolls

(ID #260467) Posted on 2008/08/09 04:47

reply to nu-REOS's comment

This is pretty much it for major companies that produce the Moe/anime character styled dolls. 
Azone http://www.azone-int.jp/ (Pure Neemo series) 
These are very limited and can be found on HLJ and HobbySearch. 

Volks http://www.volksusa.com/ (Dollfie Dream Series, and Lost Angels Series)
Can be purchased directly from Volks.

Also, many fans simply buy parts and make their own custom dolls (which is some of what you are seeing in the above photos).

(ID #260503) Posted on 2008/08/09 05:34

reply to Lilika's comment

Thanks for the info. Aside form these places, where can I find custom parts like Haruhi's hair?

(ID #260625) Posted on 2008/08/09 08:51

reply to nu-REOS's comment

In most cases if you want a doll wig to resemble a character's hair style, it must be cut and styled that way.

Parabox would probably be a good place for you to start: (they sell wigs, doll heads, bodies, eyes, clothes etc)
http://www.parabox.jp/eng/index.html

The 4.5 inch long bob wig looks closest to Haruhi's style.
http://www.parabox.jp/eng/wig-02.html

Their custom doll page is a great help:
http://www.parabox.jp/eng/what.html

Also, your wig size will depend on the doll's head size, so make sure you have a doll head (or already know the size) before you buy a wig.

Most of these dolls remind me of Dolfies, which really creep me out. I don't know why, but I prefer my figures to look more 2D because the more real they look, the more they fall into the "uncanny valley" . . . it's just a weird phobia of mine.

reply to Danny Choo's comment

They are linked to on the official Flickr tools web page below the official Flickr Uploader, which I suppose would be an indication that they're at least somewhat decent. :P I'm just trying to decide whether it's worth the €12 for the iPhoto plugin, or if I upgrade to Aperture whether to use the free plugin or to go for the €14 more featureful plugin. The plugins themselves are here: http://connectedflow.com/flickrexport/

reply to jbhannah's comment

I have a blog and use Flickr to store all my pictures.  I think it's worth it to pay the $25 as you aren't limited by bandwidth or space when using Flickr then.  I also find that they rarely have problems and tend to get them fixed rather quickly,...compared to my web hosting.

Thanks a lot for the great collection of pics! These dolls are really amazing. I enjoy the idea that adults also can pamper themselves with a collection of  cute, sexy and a little bit kinky toys...

Most of those are cute, but some with anime-esque eyes but with an outer transparent layer scares me. They look weird ^^; I LOVE that Kagamine Rin though! I want her!
