DD “Firm” and “Soft” Head Caps

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Hello!

All of you DD fans may have noticed that we have something new available recently.

As of the DD Gathering 2011, all DD heads come equipped with a softer vinyl headcap!

This makes removing and replacing the head cap a snap!

Look at that! The new Soft Head Cap is easily squeezable without warming.

We have relabeled all of the older heads on our website as “Firm Head Cap” to help you tell the difference between the two.

The only drawback to the soft vinyl is that it can stain more easily, so if it bothers you, be careful to have your DD wear a Dollfie Head Cap-L Size.

If you want your DD to have the original “Firm” Head Cap you’d better act soon. Once they are sold out it is likely that we will not receive them again as they are being replaced by the “Soft” type.

Please keep watching here, on our main website, and our Event Blog for the newest information regarding DD releases!

Customer Gallery ~ I.A.’s Lily in Kimono!

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Welcome again to the Sumika Times!

Today’s Customer Gallery post is for all of you DD fans out there!

Customer I.A. brought in his DD Saber Lily wearing one of the recently released kimono sets and she looks just wonderful.

This look really suits her, don’t you think? The bow on her default wig even looks nice with this set.

Use the DD hands and your imagination!

Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

February 2nd was Setsubun in Japan.

Setsubun is a traditional ceremony that we usually celebrate with family. We throw beans out of the house while we say “Oni wa soto! (Demons, go away!)”, and we throw beans into the house saying “Fuku wa uchi! (Luck, come in!)”. Then we eat the leftover beans, the same number as our age. So, this ceremony is also called “Mame-maki (Throwing Beans).”

In western Japan, we also prepare sushi-rolls for dinner. We eat the entire sushi-roll, without cutting it! If someone can eat the entire sushi-roll without making a sound, that person will be lucky for that year! (Doesn’t it sound easy? No! My siblings especially were silly. We all tried to finish our own sushi-roll as quickly as possible and then joke around to make the others laugh!)

Natsuki and Moe enjoyed their Setsubun together!

1Natsuki: It’s Setsubun today! Let’s do Mame-maki together! To be fair, let’s decide who will play the demon’s part by rock, paper, scissors!  (DDII-H-08 Normal / White)

5Moe: Well, like this!? (DDII-H-03 Normal /White)

6Natsuki: Hahaha! Good! Oni wa soto! (DDII-H-04 NormalWhite)

7Moe: Natsuki-chan! That’s too strong! (DDII-H-04 NormalWhite)

8Moe: Ouch! It hurts! Don’t throw the beans so hard! (DDII-H-04 NormalWhite)

9Moe: Come on! I’m telling you, it hurts~~~! (DDII-H-05 Normal / White)

10Natsuki: Wow! I’m sorry! Let’s eat beans together! (DDII-H-04 NormalWhite)

Isn’t it fun to make a story using the different kinds of DD hands? Why don’t you try to make your own and submit it to our customer gallery!

Annual Birthday Group Photo!

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Hi, everyone!

I know that some of you have been waiting for this announcement — yes, it’s the season of the Happy Birthday Super Dollfie Group Photo!

As usual, please help us by bringing your Super Dollfies! These are the photos from 2010 and 2011 (Part 1, Part 2) at Volks USA. Let’s go above and beyond the last two years this time! Also, don’t forget your camera as well — after we take the official photos, we make time for the owners to take their own pictures.

Also, this year, don’t miss the opportunity to show off your cute Dollfie Dream girls! It’s February, the most serious month for girls in Japan! Maybe some people who like Japanese school anime or manga may already know, but Valentine’s Day in Japan is quite different from Valentine’s Day in the US. The ones who buy (or hand-make, more preferably and for more MOE!) chocolates are solely girls! Valentine’s Day is the day for shy girls to confess their feelings to the boys who they’ve been thinking of. Isn’t it good timing to do a photo session of your DD girls!?

Date:
Sunday, February  26
1:00PM~ Super Dollfie Happy Birthday Group Photo
3:00PM~ Dollfie Dream Valentine’s Day Group Photo

See you then! I need to get my boys and girls ready, too~!

Of course, for owners who are not local, we are looking forward to receiving your photos for our Customer Gallery, as usual!
