30th July 2013


Been awhile since I blogged! 

Also been awhile since I posted any doll box arrival and opening ceremony! 

This time is an unexpected arrival of a Child, whom has been in my wishlist for awhile now, although she's not  my top priority. I was saving up for another Child from my wishlist and currently on a layaway on another one, but this girl just decided to pop out on the market at this time! She is a really rare girl and was on a really good price, so it's too hard to pass on! ;_; 

She is ... 

... 

Latune Subbota from Super Robot Wars Original Generation !! 

 ラトゥーニ・スゥボータ 

Also known as Latuni, Latooni. 


My first Mini Dollfie Dream. I need to take back my words - DDs are addictive! And MDDs are irresistable too! Looks like MDD Al Azif needs to wait... I am starting to feel that DDs and vinyl dolls are really for me... I need to bring home more BJDs now to 'rekindle' my passion for BJDs... 


This is my first time ordering from Mandarake, and I am very satisfied with their service; fast processing and shipping! I guess Nakano store is the more reliable one, since I've heard that some international customers had problems with some other stores. 



Cute pink box! 



First look on Latune 
♥



She is so lovely! I have to admit that I am not huge fan of her face-up, but she truly looks much prettier in person than in photos! 




One of the best part of her is her full set outfit. The full set consists of 9-10 pieces! Superb quality and very detailed! I almost bought this set off YJA (for MDD Al Azif maybe?) but luckily I didn't. 



I personally think that Volks did not do a good job on her wig and also her face-up. The MDD looks quite different from her original design from the anime. 


Funniest thing is, I honestly did not know that MDDs have loose leg joints and they cannot stand without doll stands! I was horrified when I found out and thought that the store did not inform me about this as a defect. It was only later through the store's explanation and online sources, I know that the joints need customization. I believe that newer MDD bodies do not have these loose joints. 



Some photos with Latuni dressed up as Latuni~! 



I did not put on everything - too many layers to put on! Lazy at the moment :p Will do so after I wash and colour-fast them. Black clothings are scary for dolls! 



I love Latuni, her character and personality - purple hair, loli, purple and pilot. I guess I am fond of her coz of the similarities to Al lol. Al is still my most favourite and on the top of my wishlist now. My next and only target should be only her. Hmm...Etheldreda works too actually...I am not really a fan of Etheldreda but I really love her MDD. 



Ahhh I am still deciding what name and/or which character should I give her! Shy-type or naughty-type hmmm? I did not expect her coming home so soon, so I did not plan anything for her ;_; I assume that I already have a naughty-type (future Al Azif), so I think I need more variety of personalities in my household. 

Another Child to celebrate birthday with in the future ♥ 

Till then~
