Winter faceups are living dangerously. I learned my lesson a few years ago, when I did a series of faceups in December and January that later developed cracking in the sealant. Not sure if it was the new formulation of MSC Matte, the low temperatures, the humidity, or some combination, but I’ve avoided using…
Technically a 2020 arrival since she’s been at home for a bit and I just got around to doing a photoshoot, but- she’s here! DDH-20 girl! I got suuuuper lucky snagging my DDH-21 girl from the D’Coord online lotto a while ago, but I still had my eye on her pouty sibling, the DDH-20 sculpt.…
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…
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.

Continuing to work through my faceup backlog, I decided to repaint my tan DDH-12 girl next! I’d always planned to repaint her but the unknowns of tan DD vinyl made me nervous so I procrastinated on it… a lot. Anyway, she’s repainted now, and as part of the process I also got up the gumption…
