Ton O Dakimakura

Tenrou asks the same thing that I'm curious about - how many of you own a dakimakura?
Original text from tenrou below.
Collage of dakimakura. ^_^
I don't have any, myself, but plan to get one someday in the near future.
For those of you that do have dakimakura, where do you like to purchase yours from?
Also, do you go for cute, ecchi, or a little of both?
Finally, how many of the DC ladies collect dakimakura? (I know at least a couple of you do).
Inquiring minds want to know... ^^
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.

I have a dakimakura. Buying them can be tricky, looking around online is a necessity.

I have one, bought it at a convention. Sadly, it's a weird size case, so I ended up buying a haruhi dakimakura to fill in my dakimakura case. Now if I can just make a pillow.

I do not, although I do think they are amusing. :) If I come by the right one I might cave in and get it, but I mean it would really have to be the right one.

I would let my husband or boyfriend buy one if he wanted, I think they're amusing and I'm a girl. ^^;

you'll make a cool wife/girl friend. ^^ hope you find someone as considerate as yourself. ^^

Well, same here, but I will not get one in the future anyway because it's a sure thing lot's of non-otakus will be visiting my future apartment and I don't think dakimuras are helping to get girls either. :D

Hmm.. It's just too expensive to get... When i can tone down my acquisition of figures maybe i will consider getting one....
But for now, I own no dakimakura.... Well, I am planning to buy the next Dengeki G's Festival that hopefully feature Flyable Hearts... and hopefully a dakimakura as bonus.. IF IT EVER RELEASED... They haven't say anything about it yet.. but i think an eroge at Flyable Heart calibre deserve a Dengeki G's Festival and a freebie Dakimakura to go with it.. lol.
I will someday, hopefully, buy a real dakimakura, not just freebie, but the ridiculously expensive one, And if i do, I'm looking for a real cute one, ecchiness is taken as bonus.

For some reason I felt embarrassed seeing all of those.

http://nauxolo.awardspace.com/
i have one... and i hang it up on my wall rather than put it on my bed as a dakimakura. i use it like a poster. i'm pretty sure no one will object to it, if it's on a wall or used as some sort of tapestry. i will never put a pillow in it, because i find that kind of sad. i like the art, though (of yakumo from School Rumble).
those sex dakimakura is kind of sad, because they charge so much for just a heat print.
Nekophilia
Not me ^^; Too much for my family members. I wonder how would they react if they see a dakimakura delivered to doorsteps when my parents can't even tolerate ecchi images.

ah! I saw Horo! Do want!! Anyway I got 2 from C75 and they're both cute and a lil ecchi. <3

I have 2 dakimakura currently both bought from Hobby Search. I prefer to go ecchi because its more bang for the buck type of thing. I find EBay to be not reliable because a lot of dakimakura posted is not official in that its the customizable ones where you give an image to someone and they will make one for you.
In order to get those truly limited ones, you have to do some online searching into japanese websites and you need a credit card and a Japanese proxy buyer.
An example would be http://charatweb.com/menu.html where they have some really cool limited runs that are mail order in Japan only. If anyone else knows another cool site selling dakimakura, please tell me.

As I said from the last dakimakura post, I own the Kanu Unchou Dakimakura that I got from Jlist.

Hi everyone. My first comment here, but have been looking around for a while now. Since this post covers goods I really like I wanted to share what I have. But I don't have any pictures atm.
I currently have 6 (2 from Axia and 4 from Cospa)
With some luck I'll have 2 more arriving in the mail tomorrow (both C75 releases from Xuse)
I hope my collection will keep on growing
btw, that Kanon dakimakura in the opening image is actually a bed sheet (I happen to have that too (it was released together with a telephone card))

I own just one, a dakimakura of Kanu from Koihime Musou, which came with the latest issue of Dengeki G's Festival (which I bought purely for the Kanu dakimakura). It's a bit more ecchi than I would have prefered, but I really like her character so I had to get it! Have been tempted by other dakimakura in the past, but they're so expensive :< which is usually enough to make me think twice about whether I really need it or not.

Don't own any dakimakura though there's a few I fancy.
But I never got one due to their significant price tag, the fact I don't really have any use for one, and also the social repercussions, DVD's and figures are still doable... but explaining a dakimakura, that's tougher. ^^;;

I is a female with a dakimakura! woot! Kawaii mostly. Just one ecchi.
And so as I was hoping 2 more dakimakura cover were added to my collection today bringing the total to 8.
