Showcase ~ Shibata Chair No. 03 Round Back (Green)!

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Hello there!

Welcome back to the Sumika Times Blog!

Today, I have another showcase of one of the furniture choices we have available for SD and DD.

This time it’s the Shibata Chair No. 03-Round Back (Green)!

The shape of this chair is unusual compared to the other furniture available from the Shibata lineup. It’s a short, stout chair with a rounded back. The seat is quite small, so it’s definitely only suitable for one doll at a time, if properly seated.

This time SDGrB Minoru, SDG Kun and MSDG Mika are joining us for the showcase!

Follow below for detailed photos and measurements of this piece.

SWS Skyraider – Bomb Loading!

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Hi, everyone!

Jane here, hoping that you’re having a great day so far! Did you enjoy reading my last post on SWS No. 3 Skyraider, and the pre-order bonus figures for Set A? I hope so, because I’ve got more for you today!

Last time I showed you the special “Battleship Departure” figure set that you will automatically receive if you pre-order Skyraider Set A, which is our basic set containing one Skyraider kit. This time, I will be showing you a sneak peek of the special set that you will receive if you pre-order Skyraider Set B. Like Set A, Skyraider Set B is a basic pre-order set containing only one Skyraider kit — however, it is slightly more expensive ($11 higher in price, to be exact), and the included bonus items are entirely different from Set A.

To be absolutely clear so as to avoid confusion:
Set A ($141) bonus = “Battleship Departure” set only
Set B ($152) bonus = “Bomb Loading” set only

That said, let me show you what’s included in the “Bomb Loading” set!*

*The “Bomb Loading” set is also included with Skyraider Set C.

"Bomb Loading" pre-order bonus figure set! Includes 3 ordnance crew figures and 1 "AD-6 VA-75 AG500 Bu.No.139802 USS Independence 1962" decal (shown below).

Showcase ~ W-92D

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

Hi there!

For today’s blog post I have another wig showcase for you!

We have only a few wig showcases to go, but it might be a while as we are still waiting for some to come back into stock. Watch here for updates, as usual!

The showcase today focuses on the W-92D, the Super Long in DD size!

This wig is the longest wig which we offer regularly. It has heavy, straight across bangs and falls below DDs knees!

Since it is DD size, it mostly fits DDs and SDs with smaller heads. It’s really heavy, so I would highly recommend using Pitatto Wig, if your doll is not wearing it already.

I decided to show it to you on a Mini Dollfie Dream and a Dollfie Dream as well! HDD-04 and DD Aoi are modeling for us today!

Magazine Review: Dolly*Dolly Volume 14!

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Hi, everyone!

I’m back with another Dolly*Dolly review for you — this time of Volume 14!

Dolly*Dolly Volume 14!

Dolly*Dolly Volume 14!

This issue of Dolly*Dolly is all about knitting and crocheting — how to knit/crochet, how to knit/crochet specifically for dolls, and lots and lots of patterns and photo tutorials! Although there’s no central feature on Super Dollfie in this issue, SDs can still be found here and there — the Dolly News section has photo blurbs on Dolls Party in NYC 2, Dolls Party 17, and Tenshi-no-Sumika Fair 2007, and the event report section has several pages of photos from Dolls Party 17, as well as the SD-inclusive event Doll Show 19. If you enjoy looking at art dolls, there are also some large features on the work of Katan Doll and Koitsukihime!
