Figure.fm
Check out more lovely pics of Lucifer32's daughter at his/her burogu - lovely dress.
Thought this would be a good time to mention - Figure.fm relaunch is just around the corner - should be next week.
A question I need to ask - do you mind if I include Dollfies as a category? From the looks of things, many of you either own or are interested in Dollfies. In the past, Figure.fm has been mainly for Gunpla/Mecha and Figures. Was initially thinking of a standalone Dollfie site but not too sure how well it would do alone.
Notice a few Japanese figure comrades starting to adopt Dollfies including:-

http://www.cutanews.com/ (dont think his daughter has arrived yet)
Regarding Figure.fm:-
-You will be able to use your dannychoo.com login *but* they wont be synced with each other. The reason is that many folks don't particularly want a dannychoo.com account ^^;
-Only users with current uploading permissions will be able to upload straight away.
-New registrants will have to meet a requirement of number of comments/period after activation to post on Figure.fm
-All old posts will not be imported into new accounts but you are free to do so manually. The old site will live at legacy.figure.fm - still deciding on the URL. For SEO, all existing links to figure.fm will be bounced onto a different sub domain.
-Will be multi-lingual - initially in Japanese and English.
-Will have classifieds to allow you to buy/swap/seek your stuff.
-Will run on Mirai Gaia so you can bet that it would never be abandoned again.

Seeing that quite a few people are sharing photos of their daughters, I would also like to do the same ^_^;
This is my 5th Dollfie Dream daughter - I randomly named her Izumi (technically she's the 5th DD head I own - I only have 4 DD bodies to share around, so she and Yukino has to share the same one).
She's using a custom Kiriha head that I won off YHJ last year. Custom face-ups from YHJ are awesome! The wig and the extra hair bun were bought from Zephyr . Their wigs are pretty good and the hair bun idea is neat - you can form pony tails or twin tails quite easily, at different locations on the head.
More photos at my blog here:
I'm not very good at taking photos, so I hope you like the photos and any comments would be helpful!
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.

How much did you pay for her head ?

The head was around mid 30k yen (I'm pretty sure it's under 40k).
The artist was MomoiroManbou http://momo-man.net/top_frame.html
The blue eyes also came with the head.

Oh I've seen many works from that artist before. He/she makes such beautiful custom resin eyes! And this Kiriha's face-up is amazing. I think it became my favorite work from this artist ^___^. Congrats on acquiring this precious one!

Awww! So pretty! Her eyes are crazy (in a good way)! Love it! Can't wait till I can get one. Looking at the mini DD currently.

A very neat thing with DD/MDD heads is that they are the same size and can be used on both types of bodies. You can easily turn a loli (mdd) into a sexy ..loli (with ddy body maybe) XD
Plus, this gives you more choices when it comes to custom heads.

I voted "didn't mind" in the poll... but even though my first knowledge of DannyChoo.com was from Figure.FM, I didn't really know what it was and thought both sites are the same ^^;

Wow that's cute.
I am of the opinion that a Dollfie's still a figure of sorts, so they should be included in FigureFM.

Separate category would be ok. Some users would probably want to filter them out anyway ;)

Beautiful Dollfie and also a very nicely done shot. Very sharp and clean with good contrast. ^_^ I love that dress, because it's lovely without being flashy and colorful. Reminds me of something out of the medieval era or a fantasy novel, which earns extra kudos from me. :D
Adding Dollfies to figure.fm is cool with me. :)

Yes! I was very sad when you shut down figure.fm last year, hopefully it get some new members uploading their own works and not get spammed by members voting for themselves.

As it is, Dollfies have a community all their own much like gunpla and garage kit builders. It would be nice to recognize the community since we have our fair share of dollfie adopters here on DC.com, myself included soon.

ooo neat. was always curious about the figure.fm site but by the time i got around to posting stuff and blogging it was under construction. ＾＾； 期待してますよ～
Umm, the shot above makes it seem as if poopoo is dripping down one of its legs ><
Nice shot nonetheless.

I never use figure.fm so I don't really care either way. That dress is interesting though.

I doubt I'd use it, but then again I only found it after it was abandonned. I remember clicking to see what it was about, though, and you'd said then that it was being integrated into DC's Member News...
Could I ask what prompted the reversal and separate site again? I gather it's for the "many folks who don't particularly want a DC account". :P

Adding the dollfie category to figure.fm sounds good to me.
If it was to be standalone, I'm not sure what the traffic will be like.
Plus, it's more enjoyable to see dollfie haters converted to dollfie lovers.
Believe me, I did not like dollfie a single bit 2 years ago!
