The problem with Dollfie's is that you cant carry em around like Figma's...

Of course one can carry them around... it just makes one look rather odd...
well, more odd than carrying figma, anyway.
Especially if one is a non-crossdressing male otaku.
But that is another matter. (^ω^)

Yea, if you already are crossdressing why not carry dolls with you (it isn't making it any worse atleast). :/

Yeah, I see no problems at all. And hurray for crossdressers and transvestites! ^_^ They make life a whole lot more interesting, let me tell ya... O.o

Just remember reading an article on sankakucomplex about an Otaku whom bring his doll(daughter) all over Osaka on vacation and taking picture with her. Didn't find if creepy, just funny.

I'm easily creeped out by dolls. This is thanks to watching a few movies as a child(Child's Play anyone??).
So although Dollfies can be uber cute, their eyes just look dead to me and would scare the bejeebus out of me if I lived with them.

Why not? Puppeteers carry their puppets around, after all. And what do you call those people who speak through puppets... ah right, ventriloquists. I'd much rather see a dollfie being carried around instead^^

For Dollfies couldn't you use one of those back/frontpack harness like things that parents wear? I am sure they have a name...

I take my dollfies out with me. Fair enough you look odd carrying them around in your arms. What I do is I have a large bag that I use to take my dolls out, I put a couple of blankets or pillows inside to protect the doll, then put the doll in, zip it up and take it away.
Outdoor doll shoots may get you some odd glances from passers by, but they're great photo subjects and its a lot of fun to go out and about and get great photos in stunning scenery with such pretty dolls.

Dollfies are harder to come by so I'll choose them. Figmas I can procure on my own :P

Yeah. That's why some of my friends who owns a dollfie has special carrying case for their dolls and only brings them during events.
Dollfie's maybe hard to bring but it attracts attention like a magnet =3

Dollfie are neat, but I don't really have enough space for one. Figma are handy for me in that I can get a bunch and they won't take up too much space while I do it.

I will like a lifetime supply of figma. Easy to carry and fun to play. Dollfie, maybe one or two is enough as they are harder to take care of. XD

True, you have to leave your "musume" to home. But the good thing is they will be waiting when you get back:)

Aoi-chan needs a new dress. Young ladies don't dress like that in polite society.
I also echo the carrying case idea.
Injured
Aoi-chan has not recovered from last weeks party yet, her clothes are probably still at the cleaners LoL.
I still don't understand the attraction to these things. It is just like a giant barbie doll you can play dress up with. And then buying accessories and making clothing for it! Is the next step life size ones then? go out and buy 500$ pairs of jeans to put on em, and carry along to a hairstylist then? Call me old fashioned, but the whole thing seems very strange to me.

Oh! I find dollfie's so CREEEEPY! They hunt me in my dreams, with knifes and axes.

I think people will think of you as otaku more if you carry around Dolfie than figmas. Carry figmas would makes you not as look bad as carrying around dolfie ^^;

Sure you can carry them around. Just use a baby harness.

With all the things as they are it seems that there should be a few places the Dollfies could be taken given the carrying method didn't shake them apart. It seems now that you have to take Aoi-chan with you if you want to take Kagami anywhere since Aoi-chan has taken Kagami for herself now. Dollfies like Figmas too!

Now I do find the Dolfies interesting, however, I prefer the Figmas.

That's why there's carriers for dolls! lol example: http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=acc02&Category=185699
but of course becomes rather cumbersome when you have other stuff to carry

Of course you can carry your Dollfie around (if you are fortunate enough to have them *cry*) - just get a cool case.

Ya thats a proble, that and the fact that they are super creepy.

I can see one more thing now with the new doll collectors. If they are married, why mess with this they can have real babies and setup all types of cool things for years to come for the real one growing up. Don't waste your time and money that could have been used to make ones own babies life really great.

aw that's kind of rude to people who do like to have both. There are things that one cannot do with a real baby and vice versa. While real life is very important, I hope you understand that it's a hobby to have a doll/figures and people do enjoy collecting them much as you would have done spending on other things/hobbies.
We dont want to end up having a flame war here about which is better :P so, please respect and all's well
good day :D

But they're soooooo pretty!! I wouldn't mind bout carrying them round. I love Dollfies.... I want one... so much.
Otaku Student
If you had a lifetime supply of dollfies your house would be very crowded. I also just plain like figmas better, I don't like the look of dollfies as much. I like solid PVC statues better than either really, but I do like figmas too.

A lifetime supply of figma would be awesome, but I also love Dolfie's even though I don't own one as of yet... carrying them around town, I wouldn't care what other people think of it, but that's me.:P

I don't see why you would need an unlimited supply of over sized barbies. They pretty much all look the same anyway. Figmas at least are unique.

Lifetime supply... that'd be a bit much. Maybe a handful of the best figma and I'd be happy ^^;

As many others have said, a carrying case is the way to go. Personally I wouldn't mind one of the Rozen Maiden ones...just in case I aquire one of the Super Dollfie versions one day...
Maybe I'm wierd, or have been living in Japan for too long, but if I saw a 30 year old guy taking pictures of a Dollfie Dream at Yoyogi park, I would think it was less wierd than him taking pictures of very small posable action figures (figma). To each there own of course.

actually danny, there's an easy way to do that though it's quite bulky :c
try buying a 3/4 or 4/4 sized violin case and take your dollfie (and your wife?) to tag along when you get one to see if she fits snugly. I mean, if you're not inclined to buy a special bag for them plus it's a cheaper alternative AND people wont suspect you bringing something around that will garner you weird stares...cause it's a violin~ with a dollfie surprise inside hehe :D
hope that helps and I'm looking forward to see what you can do with your dolls danny :D
OH OH OH btw, I have a suggestion you might want to try with aoi-chan (am I giving her the right name, the dollfie on your pic?) try getting her clothes like mirai's it'll be adorable (and cool even if mirai figma/nendo wont come out ;D )

Mostly girls in our Otaku community in Los Angeles carry around dolfie's. But they are rare to see, although people carrying around Figma's is really rare. I'm the only person who knows that carries around Figam's.
???Confused???
figmas are nice to carry around, but a dolfie or 2 around the house would be nice...actually if you put them in the car, you can probably use the carpool lane...

Mmk, so I just noticed something... I now want a dollfie. Now, here's what I noticed, I never wanted one before, but after seeing them for a bit on dc.com, I now want one. The interesting part of this, is that I never wanted figures before finding dc.com either, but after seeing them for a bit, I got completely into them. xD
Soo, I guess this will be an additional hobby. ^^

You're right! DD's are hard to carry around so leave them at home!!! I leave mine at home all the time and take the lil' ones like your Figma with me in my purse!

Yeah!~ It's such a drag to carry the dollfie since they are big in size. Figma will be a preferable choice here since it's small in size and easy to carry them around.

Be a man and buy a baby carriage for the dollfie and stroll around with it like the little girls do with their dolls.
Wow, I didn't know dolfies were that large haha. Now I see why they are incredibly expensive. But I rather have a lifetime supply of figures. I don't collect figmas or dolfies.

LOL!!! The Dolfie is the one carrying the figma! It must go the other way around then.

While not as large as the dolfie, I've seen a Japanese blogger in Hong Kong who does carry a doll around while taking photos:
