I was visiting Japan at spring. It was my first time in Japan and so far the only time I have been there.
But it was fun and awesome and everything! Still so exited! I want to go back!
I'm not going to make a full-length post about the whole Japan trip since it was some time ago already, but I wanted to share some doll related stuff.
At Akihabara we visited Volks Tenshi no Sumika. It was dedicated to Super Dollfie (BJD) I think, but there was lots of Dollfie Dream things too. People weren't allowed to take pictures in there, so no pictures. I didn't buy any doll from there, but I got some spare hands for my DDH-06 doll Chinami. Also I bought one outfit for her, and a small bust chest piece. x) Chinami used to have medium bust, but that felt a bit too big for my taste.
Chinami is happy with her new outfit and smaller bust! |
In addition to Volks store we visited Mandarake. There was also some different types of dolls for sale. Managed to be without buying anything (doll related!) from there.
We also found Azone label shop from Akihabara! It wasn't in our list, but since the dolls are cute we wen't there too. x) That was a big mistake! xD
I hadn't seen Azone Pureneemo dolls irl before that. Only some pictures online, but I hadn't been too interested about them before. So I could say that visiting the store was my first touch to Azone dolls. And they were super cute! Also the price was more affordable than a BJD of big DD.

They also had no pictures-signs in the store, but there was few display shelf that were for taking pictures!

And my loot! Woot! |
So yes, I bought myself a Pureneemo. It was an impulse buy, but they were so cute!
I bought it in parts, so it was pretty cheap...
I also bought some of those face decal stickers. But they were harder to use than it seemed. x) You have to wet them in water in order to get them to attach. After that they were were slippery! It was hard to get them aligned on the dolls face. x)
But I'll keep trying! Someday my doll will have a pretty face, like others do!
I like the Pureneemo bodies, they are very cute. The joints looked a bit funny at first, but after you get a hang of it they pose well. There is also lots of option hands, those are super cute! I'll have to buy some later. (And more of these dolls too...)
My fist custom Pureneemo on the left. Together with my Bluefairy sugar Taro. They are about the same size, so they can share clothes! |
