Some pics of Tilo in the detective outfit from the September collection. I really like how fluffy/soft the cape and hat are.

Nearly all the recent pics have been of Lyrica so here’s some of Tilo from last month!

I haven’t done anything with my vinyls in a while so I fixed that by finally opening the Kaleidoll outfits I got a while ago and making a dressup video with my MDDs

…unfortunately, despite all the trouble in getting these outfits (Kaleidoll apparently ‘forgot’ my order and so sent it a lot later than everyone else’s) I ended up receiving the wrong size. I only noticed this after I’d already set up everything for the video so decided to just go ahead and shoot it anyway. The outfits are still really cute, but it does bug me a bit. They are the Kumako sizes when I ordered the ones for MDD - it’s especially noticeable on Tilo’s, which is way baggier and with shorter cardigan sleeves, because Kumako are shorter/chubbier than MDD. Arle’s was also missing the random brooch (the bag for it was sealed and empty…). It was disappointing, and since I procrastinated so long to open them probably can’t get replacements. On the plus side, like I said they’re still cute.

No.9 is Tilo! He’s a Mini Dollfie Dream with a modded DDH01 head which was made/sold by yiu51919 on yahoo auction. I kinda impulse bought it at the time in February 2017 and then didn’t know what to do with it for about a year due to focussing on other dolls, so the head stayed boxed up for a while. I nearly sold it but in February 2018 I got a body for the head and decided to try to choose eyes and a wig that complimented the faceup (as I originally was going to make a child version of Mel, and then Kaito, neither of which worked out well because the soft brown faceup lines didn’t work with either of those wig colours). After I put a blond wig on him the concept of a little prince jumped out and Tilo was born. He got a new wig a year or so ago and has achieved his final adorable form.

I love him and have also taken him to many places, like Rome and Athens in the first two pics.

Some outdoor Tilo pics! This getup is really cute on him.

Event Report: Summer I-Doll Tokyo (July 2018)

Months ago I went to the first day of Summer I-Doll Festival (it had 2 whole days this year), the same day I left Japan (my flight was that evening). Since I didn’t take as many pics this time, I wasn’t going to bother with an event report but quite a lot of people on instagram wanted to see the pics, and since it was my last event in Japan and all I may as well write about it.The most exciting part for me was that among others, LUTS were there.

Tilo came with me (at this point all my other dolls were disassembled in my suitcase to make them easier to pack or already mailed home, but he got to be in my backpack). This booth here was selling made-to-order doll furniture and had this little photo booth set up:

(Tilo was really popular, and everyone kept exclaiming how cute he was; he was riding on my DSLR around my neck like a swing)

I’ll start with the LUTS booth. They had a number of limited fullset dolls there, and it was really cool to be able to see them all in person.

The cute little Kid Delf is a Carrot! I never realized that sculpt was this cute until seeing one in person. I was also really happy to see a Kid Delf in person because the only other time was in a glass case at Dolk. I really love Kid Delfs and really want one, and even though the one I most wanted to see in person was Corni, I was happy to see any at all.

They also had a Honey Delf and Zuzu Delfs.

And a Petit Delf (their ‘big baby’ line)

It was also really special to see the beautiful Senior Delf Jean they brought.

Cocoriang also had a small booth there!

As well as this company who is appropriately called Oh! Duck Farm.

Lina ChouChou as well! I like their pink-haired girl.

Onto some of the other dealers displays.

some real impressive work on those tiny Obitsu11s.

The manicure on these teeny MDD hands was amazing! I wish I had been able to zoom in properly, but my camera didnt seem to want to focus on them

I really loved how many yumekawa-kei displays there were.

(dont mind me, I just compulsively photograph any SDM40 I see ._.)

I’d seen this fancy 07 boy on twitter before. I think he’s on a smartdoll body. The booth was selling eyes.

This guy had a wonderful bag for transporting MDDs.

It’s Kaleidodoll’s booth...! Besides selling her fancy new summer collection of clothing she also had her absolutely gorgeous custom Vocaloids on display (painted by WhiteDollyStory I believe). I’d seen them on twitter but they’re even more beautiful in person!

Her Luka especially so.

Although its hard to go wrong with sculpts as cute as Rin and Len’s.

Her Miku is also adorable, as is the MDD troupe.

Meanwhile this booth is where I got Tilo the hat he has in the first photo. It was hard to resist those.

This was probably my favourite display besides Kaleidodoll’s.

Ronronshuka was there again, with a less elaborate setup than at Doll Show before, but I always love seeing her girls.

The brown MDD is my fave one - I think she’s cuter in the greenish wig she usually has on though.

More MDD cuties:

This cute cyclops was, fittingly, at an eye booth (although they werent selling any as big as hers)

TOA Claris were also here, and once again their booth was swamped with people most of the day.

Now just a few pics from the owners area. I was kind of tired at this point although I wish I had taken more pics. Here’s a cute brown DDH14 in front of one of the backdrops.

and the rest of her posse:

...hey remember what I said about wishing I could see a Kid Delf Corni IRL? Somebody had one! I freaked out a bit, and was really happy about it. It was surreal to finally get to see one! This one was in the tan skin but definitely has company faceup Option B, which is the one I prefer :D The sculpt is even cuter in person than in the website photos.

That’s all for Summer I-Doll 2018, and my event reports within Japan...for a while, at least. I may not live there anymore but I hope to visit again sooner rather than later, and definitely want to make it to Dolpa again.

Just Tilo modeling a new outfit in the garden - the White Knight Mini set. I think it’s one of my fave Volks outfits now. Doesn’t he look dashing :D

[montydollcrew]

The afternoon light looked really beautiful in the garden so I took some photos of Tilo today. 

Tilo has two wigs, this ash wavy one and also the straight blond one. It’s really hard for me to decide which one I like better on him.

I really love how his eyes look in the first pic though.
