Customer Gallery ~ V.B.’s Mildred!

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Hello!

Today I have a very unique Customer Gallery entry to share with you — regular customer V.B. is an experienced customizer who often repaints or modifies her SDs, and she brought her most recent project to the showroom in order to use the Halloween photo space. Her dolls have been featured here on the Sumika Times blog several times previously, but I really think she’s outdone herself this time — scroll down to see if you agree with me!

Wow!  Who is this lovely lady?

Wow! Who is this lovely lady?

Meet the very striking Mildred -- she's an SD16G Pearl that VB has repainted in the style of Día de los Muertos calavera (skull) makeup!

Customer Gallery ~ J.S.’s Saber!

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Hi, everyone!

Once again I have some great customer gallery photos for you. This time from customer J.S. of their lovely DD Saber Lily!

Speaking of Saber, we don’t have Saber Lily, but for you Saber fans we do still have something great right now!

You can still enter the pre-order for DD Saber “Fate/Extra” Version and DD Saber “Alter” Version 2!

http://www.volksusa.com/type-moon-dollfie-dream-project.html

The deadline is quickly approaching. It’s this Sunday, October 30th at 6PM! Don’t forget to enter. If you miss it, we can’t accept your order for any reason!

Now, on to the photos!

Saber Nadeshiko

These photos by J.S. are supposed to evoke the feeling of “yamato nadeshiko” which is the historic ideal of the Japanese woman. A “yamato nadeshiko” is a strong, trustworthy, capable, loyal woman, a “good wife and strong mother.”

TYPE-MOON x Dollfie Dream 2 Days Left Until the Deadline!!!

Friday, October 28th, 2011

It came so quickly- the deadline for the  TYPE-MOON x Dollfie Dream special items is this weekend! The pre-order period will close Sunday, October 30th @6:00PM PST!

OK, today we have a little quiz again. Who is this!?
Saber1It’s Red Saber, who is cosplaying as Saber Lily!

Saber2Red Saber can look really good in a wide range of colors. She looks great, of course, in her red default dress, but white looks so nice on her as well!

Saber3Red Saber is wearing the original Saber’s Daily Wear! The hands she  is using in this picture is the  DDII-H-05, which are the most popular options hands here at Volks USA! Exchanging hands is one of the easiest customizations you can do. Try using different hands when you take pictures of her!

Saber4Oh, you stole that Lion from Saber again!? I think it is best for future masters of Red Saber to prepare some kind of plushie for her before she arrives!

The original Japanese blog post is here!

The pre-order deadline is coming up this Sunday evening! Make sure to read all of the instructions carefully before placing your pre-order to avoid making any mistakes!
