Merry Christmas!/Volks ThanksFest

I've been meaning to upload these for the past few weeks argh.

Anyway a few weeks ago the Fu kuoka Volks showroom has a 'Thanks Festa' - a special event to commemorate 5 years since the store was rennovated. SD and DD fans were invited out back to a venue full of multiple photo spaces, and then the Volks staff got a photo of all our dolls together which went up on the blog. It was a lot of fun, and I was able to do the bulk of my Christmas photoshoot with Rin here.

 

Of course, I took a lot of photos at the other photo spaces too, but I'll post them elsewhere later as I just wanted to upload the most Christmassy ones.

Rin's outfit is Azone's new christmas dress for their 50cm girls! I took a gamble in ordering it, although I'd seen Azone50 stuff fit a DDS before. It fits perfectly, the real problem is that Azone didn't white-line the top at all (wtf?!) so she was banned from wearing it until I got her a body stocking. (She's had it on since then and no staining whatsoever).

Got a few Christmassy ones of Mel, too. Although this is before he got his 'proper' eyes.

There actually weren't that many DDs compared to SDs...only two other guys besides me, and then a woman came in with two adorable MDDs later plus another guy with a bunch of Touhou girls. However, there was apparently a similar event in the Sapporo store on the same day and according to the twitter pics the DD:SD ratio was almost reversed.

 

bonus: here's one of the pics from my favourite of the photo spaces. I'll dump them elsewhere later; I might make my own general photo thread.

Rin looks darling in that! The Christmas space is so pretty and colorful. And Mel is so cute!

 

Glad you had a good time! The group photo is awesome.

What a fun set of photos! Rin's clearly enjoying herself, but I think I like the picture of Mel carrying all of those presents the most! I'm looking forward to seeing more photos set in of that sweeet looking photospace!

 

I'm surprised Azone didn't line that Santa outfit though! So far all of the non-white 50cm clothing I got from them(besides some dark tights, which I stain tested first before keeping them on for an extended period of time) were lined in white.

Merry Christmas!

 

I love the photo of Mel carrying the gifts because it looks like he is about to tsundere-ly present them to Syd. It reminds me a lot of the cupcake scene.

 

And the photo with Rin in the photo space is gorgeous! The whole aesthetic really makes it look like an illustration turned 3D.

Rin is loving this! She's so ridiculously cute.

 

The colors and clarity in your photos really make each image pop!

More like dump them in front of him and say he was about to throw them out and didn't buy them specially or anything. But damn, I really do want Syd in DD form as well. Volks are gonna have to make another more mature-faced girl like Sheryl or an actual man, though - and even then the head sculpt will need to not look small compared to Len's like Sheryl's unfortunately does. I'm still wondering if 07 would be ok but I have some doubts.

 

Thank you for the comments, everyone! I now realize that the Volks blog link I included doesn't work thanks to the censor filter here that also makes it so I always have to type the place I live in as 'fu kuoka' 8') oh well

That's a very lovely sets of photos ^^ Your Rin is so cute.
