Volks Locations Japan Tour

Akihabara Doll Point, November 2015:

What I have here is a collection of photos from various Volks stores I visited across Japan. I haven't visited them all and I don't think I'll be able to do so unless I dedicate myself toward visiting the country from end to end.

If you choose to read on, be warned this post is image heavy. If you came here via a direct link, well, never mind. XD

Sort of Non-lazy Edition, Los Angeles Dolpa of Anaheim

I previously posted most of the photos in this blog post at my Twitter account but since this is a doll blog, I decided to post the photos here as well. This post is image heavy, so please keep that in mind when you click on the "Read more" link or you arrived at this page by a direct link.

DIY Saddle Stand, a.k.a. the Most Ghetto Saddle Stand Ever

If you ever thought of buying a professionally made saddle stand, as nice as it looks and as strong as it may be, it's quite expensive. Welcome to the most unprofessional tutorial in the history of mankind for how to make your own 60cm doll saddle stand! XD XD XD

Doll on Doll Violence II

This time, instead of featuring the weapon of choice for space wizards or 60-foot tall robots, I'll discuss plastic model kits of modern assault rifles. To the left is an image of the kits I have.

While you may not find the exact model as the ones in the photo, if you live outside of Japan, you can buy 1/3 scale rifle kits from Amiami or Hobby Search.

Instructions come in English and Chinese. The kits are not complicated and the pictures in the manual make it very clear which parts go where.

You'll need nippers/sprue cutters, plastic model cement, a hobby knife, pin vise, and a drill bit set. You'll need additional tools if you want to do more than the bare minimum but I'm not going to get into that.

DIY Doll Chair Stand 2.1

About 2 months ago, I made a DIY chair for 60cm-class ladies. If you're reading this before reading the original post linked in the previous sentence, go read the older post first.

Smart Doll - Chitose Shirasawa

Back in September 19, 2016, I received a package from Growcian. Amongst his frenzied itinerary through various parts of Japan, he was visiting Culture Japan, a company that was founded by Danny Choo to produce his line of Smart Dolls.

Not that anyone is asking how Platina is as flexible as she is but I wanted to share images of one of my prototype skeletons anyway. :)
