The next Dolls Party (also known as dolpa) will be held at Tokyo Big Sight this Sunday from 10am - its like the Wonfes for dolls only. Admission is 2,200 yen. Me going to try to make it.

There are going to be a few exclusives including Saber, Kanu and Ryomo - more stuff on this page. List of accessories available are listed here.

I really like the Aoi Dolfie who weighs in at 39,900 yen. Also like this maid dress and this outfit too.

Hmmmm.This going to be an expensive hobby.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

    Ya, they're so expensive. They don't really appeal to my tastes though. I'd rather have figures instead...

    The hobby is so worth the cost though Danny.

    With this Dollpa, the dollfie dream range is getting a new body type too, Dollfie Dream Dynamite, this body has new bust options.

    I simply adore my Dollfie Dream. She's like a huge, cuter, more poseable with better clothes and hair figure.

      I really want to know if the dollfie dream dynamite clothes will fit the regular dollfie dream body XD. It's so cute and I love maid outfits for my dollfie dream. I do like the black suit more though, so saucy.

        too bad the bodies of each doll type/brand is still quite different and it's quite impossible to own all types of dolls lol so I can only make clothes for dolls which I have ^^; your Amber is so adorable! :D

    I did not know there was an event like this, only knew about WonFes. Now that WonFes is under water due to what happened last time, would figure otakus will attend the event? 2,200 yen entrance fee sounds little steep though. I'm so glad that Comiket is free ^^;

      Dollfie dream dolls are actually more popular with male figure collectors then you may think. Because they are very anime style like figures, they often appeal to figure collectors too. Also you get fans who will buy anything if it features characters they like, these people buy the dolls too. For example the To heart 2 dollfie dream were very popular and sell for a lot of money on the aftermarket because they are popular characters and many people want the dolls of them.

      Suply and demand is a cruel thing.

    I don't like them much, but I saw some good ones sometime ago on this very DC.com... probably the ones Danny is talking about.

    I won't be able to make it to this on the count of an inspection forcing us to work Sunday. ):
    Whoever gets to go, please take lots of pics. I don't own any of these and the ones I saw in Akiba were around $700 - $800 dollars. There's only a few characters in all of anime I would even think of paying that much for (Suiginto and Suiseiseki I would).

    If I ever do buy one, it will be only one due to the cost.

    At first people thought anime figures were weird.. no most people on this site have them. The same will go for dolls! :-) I also thought they were freaky at first, but after seeing enough pictures of them... damn, the Saber one looks awesome!

    It seems as if there is a lotery on the volksusa site to get one... but how to enter the lotery?

    Cant lie that I actually find them very attractive. But all those horror movies have made me shy away from dolls forever. So no matter how attractive these are, I think I will just examine them from afar.
