I'm in Tokyo! I went to the volks show room in akihabara and picked up this little lady

I apologize for the bad quality. It was taken with my tablet since I didn't bring a laptop to transfer images to.
She's a Pureneemo doll. I've never heard of them before but I saw the body and had to get one. Now it won't be so lonely on my trip. I'll be taking lots of pics of her in strange places. Pureneemo dolls are varying degrees of 1/6 scale from what I understand. There were three sizes that I saw. XS, S and Medium. The is a small. There were also 1/12 scales. The heads had sold out so I got a 1/6 obitsu head with rooted hair for her. She was pretty cheap at $19. For the body and $9 for the head. Eye decals were $7 for a pack. I also got her a pack of different hand gestures. Her outfit was $50 (T_T) but at least it's very well made, the detail on such small clothes is amazing. I want to point out that there were made in Vietnam, which is where I'm going. So maybe I'll get lucky and find a tailor who will make doll clothes for me!!

More on her later, once I get back home probably. I got lost for 5 hours today lol my cellphone up and died. no phone=no gps=no idea where to go.

Went to Dollism this past weekend, and came home with this beauty. :mrgreen:
Her name is Michaela Fairchild. She's a Dollmore Trinity Elysia.

Stormlight, and you didn't have to wait for shipping! :D

Dollism sounds pretty neat. 0_0 And all the regular dollieh vendors are there... might be kinda cool to go there one day.

Oh, Dollism was AMAZING. I definitely want to go back when they have it again. They're talking 2016, possibly in Minnesota where Mint on Card is located. So many vendors selling EVERYTHING. Bought clothes and wigs. My Elysia was actually pre-ordered because Dollmore was giving a 20% discount for any order to be picked up at the convention. They had her displayed the whole time, and they were so excited when I picked her up. They even gave me the stand she was displayed on, and that thing is expensive! Dollmore is the only place you can get a stand heavy enough to hold a Trinity, but they cost $120 plus the shipping, so I was very grateful to them for giving it to me.

Aw, nice! Score big for the home team. xD That was really cool of Dollmore!

Yeep, I didn't know that the convention changed locations that dramatically... .__. ;; New York is just a few hours' drive from me, but Minnesota...? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...

I'd really love to be able to go to a convention where ALL the doll shops are right there. Beats the online guessing game and shipping wait/$$$ that's for sure.

thanks. Her 1/6 self wonders why I never dress her like this (can't find green shirts/vest for obitsu 27). At least on this size she gets more wigs and clothes to play around with.


Loosely based on this outfit
