Volks One-off Saki Arrival

Recently a new girl arrived who’d been low-key on my wishlist for a long time. I guess that’s a bit of a theme recently since it also took me a while to finally pick up Asuna, too. Anyway, I’d been thinking about FCS or somehow getting hold of a special SD girl for myself, and…

D’Coord DCH-21 Mochi Ashi arrival

A lucky arrival from Hometown Dolpa Kyoto 17! Because Kyoto 17 Dolpa in-person events were cancelled due to Covid-19 concerns, various events and sales were shifted to an online format. With a GL/GS/VIP Volks membership it was possible to apply for dolls that are normally limited to Dolpa events. These are almost always in Japan,…

Volks DD Asuna Titania Arrival

She’s here!

I have mixed feelings about the anime and in particular the arc…

Custom Len Kagamine

Continuing to work through my faceup backlog, I finally got to Len! I always thought that Len’s detailed lips deserved a more delicate rendering, so I ended up giving him a very femme faceup to go with the lips. Len is pretty cute on DDP body! And with this outfit from M+V Studio.   The…

Custom Volks MDD Liliru

It’s been a while since I modified a factory faceup instead of starting over from scratch, but I wanted to try it with Liliru since her default faceup is pretty nice already. I liked her eyelashes so mostly I made changes to the eyebrows and mouth, with a few additive enhancements of highlights on the…
