Tony Taka Dollfie

Was looking around Yahoo Auction for some Dollfie goodies and came across this very Tony Taka-esque custom head - "Nice!" was my first reaction and then I looked at the price - currently at 95,750 yen - thats for just the custom made head which does not include the body or wig. The auction page is still here but only a day left. *quickly calls up sponsors*

Just for the head. I guess could attach it to a pencil if you don't have a Dollfie yet and just stick it somewhere near the monitor. Thats an awful lot of money for just a tiny part of a Dollfie.

That's incredible, look at those eyes, it's breathtaking. I have become a converted Dollfie fan... I am really interested in getting my hands on a Saber Dollfie, perhaps an alter version (although they seems to be a event distribution?). But what I truly waiting for, may be a Saber Lily Dollfie then I will be all over for it. Come to Papa.

No doubt that the eyes is the "Key Point" here. Tony Taka's trademark style is definitely the way he drew and colour the eyes~XD

So kudos to the maker. Breathtaking indeed!!

Now these are good looking dollfie faces! I've never liked any of the dollfie faces that I've seen before. They always just look either too strange looking, or in some cases, downright creepy looking. But these are actually really good looking ones.

Those dolls looks so pretty especially their eyes. But for 95,750 yen? I think I can buy alot of good large scale figures from that kind of money.

  I agree 100% with you werebies!
  
  And it's true that this Tony Taka's dollfie's gonna be a beautiful one but if I look to the price of it... 0_o'... the things change (and if I add the shipping charge to my country... the story ends).
  
  I would like to have it but with that amount of money I can get lots of complete models and I'll be happy too.

Hope you get it Danny. I'm not buying it but if I saw in person in stores (with the rest of the doll). I'd buy it in a heart beat for that price especially if it was one of the characters from Sora no Iro, Mizu no Iro. That had to be the best 2 Hentai OVA episodes I have seen ever. ^_^
