Photographic evidence that otaku in fact have many friends.
Via Tabo.

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.

    .......... wow! I would classify this as a collection. It would peak my interest to check out the construction of the dolls (I've only heard about them, not seen one in person)then I would say that this is creepy! It's creepy to have a room full of any sort of doll as such.

    that isn't Tabo's entire collection.

    i've seen in his website that he even has dolls of juveniles (pre-pubescents). sometimes he switches the heads of sweet looking innocents and puts them on bodies with huge eyes.

    it's really creeps me out.

        This link started by showing me a commercial for MSN. The message in it was that it could be scary to sit face to face with people. Since it now involves Microsoft I guess somebody could get a kick out of making a conspiracy theory based on this.

      You could blind fold them all so that they aren't staring at you...

      You know though, the first thought when I looked at those wasen't "that's really scary" (though, I do think it would be creepy/scary), but "Wow! That must have cost a small fortune!"

      Just how much would all those dolls cost :S
