Azone

Azone Nagato Yuki code name "HAC606NGT" - another sponsored adoption ^^;;
All my daughters up until now are of the Dollfie Dream variety and this is my first Azone which uses the Obitsu 50 body.

The Dollfie Dream body looks better but the Obitsu has more poseability and is a bit shorter.
Member Kinny Rindle showed us his Azone nagato and you can see more photos of her at this BBS.
I do prefer the DD heads but folks who prefer figures may prefer the Azone Nagato head as the eyes are printed like figures?
Still wondering whether to open the box or give her up for adoption though.
Did manage to stop off at the Volks Tenshi no Sumika store just opposite the Apple Store in Ginza before my presentation to pick up a pair of nyan nyan hands for my daughters - managed to pay for the 2,100 yen with my Volks point card.

Speaking of Dollfie and Yuki...
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.

If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

haha nice vid, couldn't help but notice that kyon was missing and instead a there was a girl, wonder if it was kyonko ^0^. Can't help but realize that i'm falling in love with dollfies, especially rin that i saw a couple of days ago, regrettably my wallet wouldn't survive an attack like that ^^;; I guess adopting musume is expensive...

Ooh... good point.
Didn't noticed that until u mentioned it and I scrolled up.
Btw, when I first looked and say that it said 154cm... I thought thats how tall the doll is going to be... lol

danny, your observation is good regarding obistu bodies and I like the fact the knees dont show its hollowness when bent :)
though I agree I prefer DD heads over Obitsu...but I think they do sell heads with eyeholes to put in acrylic eyes...and it uses a different system that doesnt require putty ^^;
the nagato looks sweet though her eyes give me an impression it's haruhi's though :)

I like the insert eyes instead of the painted on ones, but if you can get them with without painted on eyes, I would seriously consider the Azone over a Dollfie...

yes I think they do look here: http://www.obitsu.co.jp/shopcart/obitsu60/index.html :D though choose the eyes cause the sample on the site is rather creepy atm

Yes that's right, it depends which Obitsu heads, some Obitsu heads take eyes.
See my pic for example :
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3480/3216946615_083960cbf7_b.jpg
The one in the middle is obitsu 50 with Volks animetic eyes.
The 2 taller ones are obitsu 60cm with painted eyes.
You can also customize your head and open up the eyes yourself :

Thank for the example photo! Both types of eyes look great in the shot, but being able to change them out for different colors seems pretty cool to me ^_^

Yup changing eyes to match outfit or hair is one of the cool things! I have probably like 30+ pairs of eyes in different style, colors and size, and some custom made ones as well lying around lol !! *obessive dollfie eye collector*

awe! It's raining dollies at DC! LOL! I think I personally still prefer dollfie dreams only wish they are more easily available ^^; heard from chibichibiusa that obitsu body and parts are cheaper tho!
aspiring to become a doujin and graphics artist cum lawyer
http://aki7.bottled-wish.info
chun I agree to that! I was checking how much it would cost me to buy all the parts and set up the dollfie myself (even if its my first time) and discovered they're some of the cheapest japanese made AJBDs. The chinese made are the cheapest but I dont trust transacting with them D:
hey Xanthe, would you happen to know where you can buy these sort of dolls locally?
aspiring to become a doujin and graphics artist cum lawyer
http://aki7.bottled-wish.info
sorry no, I dont think these dolls are available locally. Most people I know who have ABJDs bought them abroad :( I check online too :P
I only know Pullip dolls as they were featured on a local girl's magazine ^^;;

marvin, I searched the net and remembered having read a site regarding doll collectors here in ph.
Dollhauz at 15 Luz St. Q.C. sells them and they have a showroom in Greenhills...but that post is way back in 2006 so I'm no longer sure if they exist or located there (try contacting +63 9155653326 and +63 9175322967)
^^;; though I think it might be a better deal to order from the net...mah, I wanna make a business like this D:
thanks Xanthe. ^^
really appreciate it.

Thats where I got my two. They are really fast with the delivery. (1 week to Ottawa, Canada) I just yesterday ordered some clothes from them.
Their selection of clothes in the 27cm sizes is a bit limited, but the prices are good.
Now I'm going to have to finish the neko-mimi I'm working on for them.

What is the difference?
student / NEET
dolfie eyes use some sort of glass bead as its eye
while this azone is... using decal, or painted
glass beads eye is i dunno how to made it, but it can be removed if you know how to
check member aquilla of dannychoo, she knew dolfie more than me
using decal is almost the same as painting the eye
similar to most 1/7 & 1/8 figures
this way, it makes it harder to replace the eye
u need to order an eye decal, painted eye base color (white?), place the decal with extreme precision, and melt it with mr hobby mark setter

Hmm, i think i prefer the DD ones... but the Azone one looks *really good* too. I already have the 1/6 Azone Yuki, but this one looks so much better- very much want.
As an aside, I think the Azone ones are a lot easier to get a hold of. That may count for something.

I still prefer DD over Azone =/ she does look nice though and the video was awesome.

Definately cool little vid there.. sad no Kyon.. but that happens. The Yuki Doll.. isn't bad, but the printed on eyes.. I think are a detraction then a good thing.
But thats just my opinion.. but I'm also trying to get Azone's Pia Carrot costume on Yahoo JP.. for Rin. Cause well I'm sick sorry little man

I definitely prefer the DDs. They have so much more depth to them somehow, and some of Azone's painted eyes just look off. Yuki's the exception, not the rule.

After visiting Obitsu's site, I find the degree of articulation to be good or better than the average "DD" dollfie. If you're inclined to give her up for adoption, I'd be happy to provide her a home, figure deprived as I am... ( just hope she can put up with desert heat, she might be subject to some pics... )

If it was really 154 cm, I would get it in an instant. That'd be as tall as my sister.

While I do like the obitsu body for it's superior posability, I think I still prefer DD for their varieties of cute heads and the nicer looking curves of the body.
It's not really the painted eyes that bothers me on the Azone Yuki head, it's just the head itself. But I'm kind of biased since I prefer happy smiling doll heads (this Yuki just looks too serious or depressed imo but I think that's because it's her character in the anime? I haven't seen the anime yet so I don't really know hehe) Azone has released much cuter heads, but some of their heads I just don't like at all the way they painted it.
