Today at 7PM in the Tachikawa Volks store.
Got some goodies for the two Dolfies that I now suddenly own ^^; Pics soon.

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.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

This item was posted in the Dollfie category. You can see more of everything else or subscribe via RSS instead.

The more and more you post these things the more and more I wont one of those dolls, Im thinking of trying to find/buy a Dollfie Dream Dynamite Esclayer after Comiket 75. Though I cant see myself paying to much over the original price from someone on Yahoo Auctions Japan.

The Dark Saber and only the Dark Saber looks passable. Maybe it's just the distance.

      Not guy dollfie dreams.
      
      There are lots of ball joint doll makers who make ball joint dolls in the form of males but no male dollfie dream exist. You could custom make one with an obitsu 1/3 male body and a dollfie dream head, but I doubt Danny has done that.
      
      Besides most male bjd owners I know collect female dolls, not male ones. I'm assuming Danny is similar.

Can you buy that Saber Alter Dollfie there or is it one of their showpieces? Also, if anyone knows, do Mandarke, K Books, and Volks stores take credit cards? I ask because if I run into a DD I really want, I am highly unlikely to be carrying that amount of yen on me. lol

  Saw Saber Alter DD in Volks Akiba today. I asked and it is indeed a show piece. Not for sale.
  
  Also, I can confirm that Mandarake (Volks too) does except credit cards. Tested that out today.

I'm impressed they let you take photos inside there. I remember going to a Volks shop and they were pretty strict about not letting anyone take photos of their displays.
