i just finished this set of Victorian-era style undies for my TAKARA Ah! My Goddess! "Belldandy" and, setting her beside both my TAKARA SAMURAI SPIRITS/SHODOWN "Nakoruru" and AZONE Chinese Fantasy "Maya" it struck me how much their preferences in underpinnings reflect the general change that took...

Tamaki-chan does seem to enjoy lounging around in her comfy Heart Undies;

with this lovely Japanese Schoolgirl Sailor Suit, appropriated and modified from my recently acquired KOTOBUKIYA ToHeart 2 'Tamaki Kousaka" 1/6 doll, my Sweet Angel Mikuru looks as if she could have stepped straight out of the "ToHeart" Visual Novel/Anime continuity; ...

well, here she is, not perfect, but all right, even so. she seems to be a custom collaboration between KOTOBUKIYA and OBITSU. while her legs, arms and internal spinal frame are all standard OBITSU of the day, the head and soft vinyl bust/lower torso halves are clearly KOTO originals. the...

this little sweetie just arrived, part of VOLKS' pre-Super Dollfie late-90's/early-2000's 1/6 scale "Ultimate Figure Series/Dollfie" Anime-centered Character Doll line. she has the same early VOLKS "Spring Spine" body as my other two UFS Dollfies, Ah! My Goddess "Skuld" and Mamotte Shugogetten...

threw this together from excess i had lying around a few days ago, ended up becoming something really charming on Nakoruru here;

here's a reworking of the Miko costume that came with the first Anime character doll i had ever gotten online, the TSUKUDA HOBBY Sakura Wars "Sakura Shinguji" i got used/incomplete from an EBAY auction back around 2007. being a very early TSUKUDA HOBBY Chara Doll, with the awful-looking 1st...

nothing much, really, just retouched lip detailing and a pair of earrings. still and all, looks lovely, -to me, anyway- and i had to share; http://haruhi.wikia.com/wiki/Mikuru_Asahina

extensive modification/enhancement of the old 2007 Mega House 1/6 Haruhi Suzumiya "Mikuru Asahina" Character doll, a work in progress for a couple years now, i think i finally got things just right. from her lingerie to her two-piece slip and petticoat, to her apron and headdress; it's all made...

So basically, I'm started gettin my Soi Fon cosplay ready for MCM. I've got the basic black cat suit sorted, but I'm going to do some alterations regarding her captain's jacket. It's going to be loosely- based on this badass fan art: I've actually never put make up on before (believe it...

MegaHouse Tsukuyomi MOON PHASE "Hazuki" heavily modified, wearing THE LITTLE MERMAID Ariel costume, taken from two different 1990's MATTEL dolls;

so, i think i just conquered the one remaining "fault" that was bugging me about my 1/6 Anime girl collection, a lack of credible, realistic mouth detail that could make their little faces well and truly "pop" in any lighting. i experimented on my two favorite girls, laying a blending of...

"Momiji Fujimiya" (Momiji = Maple) i passed this girl up several years ago, and grew to regret it. recently, another popped up on the bay, and i jumped on her. she's part of a four-doll "ANGELS GARDEN INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL" (AGIS) original character doll series TAKARA released around 1999....

♥Happy Halloween♥ from Hazuki Morioka~

I'm heading over on the 20th. Anyone else coming?

Hi everyone I cant find anime from this coub http://coub.com/view/xof2g if someone can recognize it, pls tell the name of this Thanks !

a custom doll of, and the closest i'll likely ever get, to my favorite VOCALOID, Miss Megurine Luka, cosplaying as Lynn Minmay as seen in the climax of the 1984 Anime motion picture "MACROSS; Do You Remember Love?" a MS GUNDAM SEED DESTINY Megahouse "Lacus Clyne" and TAKARA/HOBBY BASE MACROSS...

i think i've finally well and done it this time; those horrible defective skewed eyes i had to settle with for years, i think i finally well and truly painted them into submission!! what do you think? BEFORE AFTER

So I be cosplaying at Animatic Con next year, and ironically the theme for that con is "Year of the Villain". But I'm stuck on what villain to do, as I have no real idea on how to go about it. the cosplay has to be simple since I am actually part of staff for that con. Ive done these...

Does anyone here live in Florida and is attending Megacon in May? Or any Florida conventions for that matter?

i think i can finally pronounce this costume well and truly finished to my satisfaction, now that i've just completely remade the Apron from scratch, the original Apron once being the last remaining element carried over from the original factory costume. now, almost everything's handmade,...

Did anyone go to Orlando Anime Day at the Wyndham on I-drive yesterday?

((MAY, 2015 )) i just got around, -after putting it off for a while now- to picking myself up a secondary spare of this generally under-appreciated 1/6 doll of my favorite female Anime character, Mikuru Asahina of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" fame. my first example of her, i got back around...

or, at least, about as "Casual" as i can imagine Belldandy ever getting, anyway;

i'm beginning to get a bit more courageous about altering this uncommon girl's original faceup now, and i'm really liking what i'm managing to do with her; - NEW - ORIGINAL
